MECHELLE: AMERICA CHANGES TRADITIONS, HISTORY?
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
“Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”
“. . .conversation. . .traditions. . .history. . .move into a different place. . .”
Could that different place be Islam World Rule socialism? The data is pretty much right there in our laps, people.
That is the Queen Bee in the White House giving forth in-your-face. Did you get the gist? No qualifications. No apologies for blunt verbiage. Just right there in plain English.
In other words, the twenty years of hellish brainwashing by cultist Jeremiah Wright is very much thickened to Michelle’s brain crust.
So, brace yourself, America: Out with Christian heritage and In with Muslim total.
Out with “white values” and In with whitey-take-a- hike.
Out with instructing next generations the truth about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and In with “Damn America” and its factual history.
Where did Ms. M get the clout to remake America’s history and traditions? And where did Marxist Muslim Barack Hussein Obama? Remember her opening line: “Barack knows that. . .”
They conclude they got the power from mob hysteriacs who teary-eyed them onto Pennsylvania Avenue. That inauguration day glow still rests upon their despotic heads.
The only way that their damnable change traditions and history is going to be nullified is for Americans to hit the streets, screeching for the two of them and daughters—and Ms. M’s mom—be hoisted into the DC alleys. And that right early.
Let’s stand up and be counted in such a way that Obamas are homeless and Congressional Dems are begging for Salvation Army lunches.
This “change” and “hope” mantra has gone devilment maximum.

WILL NELSON CAVE ON ABORTION: HEALTH CARE BILL
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson says he won’t vote for the “health care” bill if it has any support for killing womb babies.
Will he cave?
If he’s an opportunistic politician, of which they are legion, then we do not know if we can trust him.
If he’s a totally committed biblical believer, no matter what the politics, his allegiance to God’s
Word will not waver.
Time will tell.
It is fascinating that abortion is such a critical issue regarding the “health care” bill. It is that issue that says whether or not the United States will become the murdering country for which tax moneys will pay.
Will citizens’ wallets be Marxist Muslim Obama forced to pay for daily, ongoing slaughtering the innocent unborn?
Hopefully, Nelson sees it just that clearly. If he does, he will have the prayerful support of biblical believers worldwide. It appears at present that he can be counted in their number.
Genuine Christians will join in intercessory prayer that Nelson’s convictions will hold fast, never yielding to compromise for any reason.
May he be thoroughly aware that his decisions on every matter will come before him at the Judgment Seat of Christ. What he does and says now will confront him at that Judgment.
If the future standing before the Great White Light of Truth is paramount in his conscience, then he will discard any toying with the pro-life decision. He will answer now to the biblical truths, knowing that the “now” will be very much a powerful quotient in his “then.”
Nelson, Roman Catholic, is very much aware of the countless pew-sitters who claim to be Catholic while in turn writing their liberal theologies. Nancy Pelosi, being one, stands in sharp contrast to the Nelsons in political life.
Pelosi scribes her own “holy writ,” blessing it as eternal verity. For this, she will stand shamefully before Christ at her death.
If Nelson is totally aware of his own soul’s worth in the light of eternity, he will maintain his stand against eliminating boys and girls in females’ wombs.
Canon Law Regarding Catholics and Abortion:
“Canon Law 1398 Catholics who have obtained an abortion, or performed an abortion, have excommunicated themselves latae sententiae (automatically by their very action) from the Catholic Church. They remain outside the church until the reception of the sacrament of Penance through a good confession.
“Canon Law 1329 Catholics who are accomplices in enabling and permitting the crime of abortion to occur, who without their assistance the crime would not have been committed, incur the same penalty.
“Canon Law 915 (an exception to receiving Holy Communion) “Others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

FOOTNOTE: JUDGMENT DAY
Hebrews 9:27:
It is appointed unto men once to die, but after that the judgment.
Matthew 7:21-23: the words of Christ:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 12:36-37: the words of Christ:
But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Romans 2:6-11:
God who will render to every man according to his deed: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immorality, eternal life; But unto them that are contentious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honor and peace to every man that worked good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 14:10-12:
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
I Corinthians 4:5:
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsel of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
II Corinthians 5:10:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Numbers 32:23:
Be sure your sin will find you out.
OBAMA: READ THE HEALTHCARE BILL
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Barack Hussein Obama had to fall off his highchair with that statement just after dictating to Dems to keep in step with the Anointed One.
The Marxist Muslim stood there, looking America in the face, and stated he hoped we grassroots citizens would all read the “health care” bill.
We would all read the bill? Yes. That is what the liar said, straight-faced. And not only once but three times in a desperate row, anxious breaths in between each. Remember lying is a virtue for Islamics per Allah.
The bill’s printout rivals the Empire State Building in stack size. I’m waiting for my copy to arrive in snail mail. Pity the snail.
Nevertheless, since Muslims believe that one must be friendly toward the enemy, then kill them, Obama was orthodox in requesting that we all read the bill. He was appearing friendly to America before beheading the country.
Read SHEIKH TO US MUSLIMS: ACT FRIENDLY, THEN KILL at http://www.michnews.com/J_Grant_Swank_Jr/jgs121709.shtml
Not even the Anointed One’s own clique read the bill. I wonder if he read the bill. Yet we pedestrians are supposed to have read, researched and analyzed the bill? Once we do that, we will be wiser in understanding that this tome is wisdom on paper.
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell retorts: “Here’s the most outrageous part: at the end of this rush (to get the bill passed), they (Dems) want us to vote on a bill that no one outside the Majority Leader’s conference room has even seen.”
If there is ever a time to review the Obama and Dem brain span, it is now. The HC slam is in-your-face evidence that this crew should never be in control of our nation. Americans must plow through DC with a revolution unheard of.
Cut loose the destroyers, then lock them in Gitmo North. Too bad for Illinois.
By the way, if there is any question as to the baseline from which Obama works, read his Koran http://jgrantswankjr.blogspot.com/2009/12/koran.html
If there is any question as to his prime prophet, read TRUTH RE MOHAMMED: RAPE, MURDER, MOLESTATION, BEHEADING at http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/4733940-truth-re-mohammed-rape-murder-molestation-beheading
McConnell continues: “Americans are already outraged at the fact that Democrat leaders took their eyes off the ball. Rushing the process on a partisan line makes the situation even worse.
“Americans were told the purpose of reform was to reduce the cost of health care.
“Instead, Democrat leaders produced a $2.5 trillion, 2,074-page monstrosity that vastly expands government, raises taxes, raises premiums, and wrecks Medicare.
“And they want to rush this bill through by Christmas — one of the most significant, far-reaching pieces of legislation in U.S. history. They want to rush it.”
