But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Neither our kings nor our princes,
Our priests nor our fathers,
Have kept Your law,
Essential Prayers:
· Lord, continue to WHIRL for Righteousness and Justice over our land (Jer 23:19-20);
· FRUSTRATE and STOP all Evil Decrees from becoming laws (Is 10:1-4);
· AWAKEN more patriots to RESIST this Evil (Neh 4:14; Lam 2:19).
Commentary:
God gave us our land, our economic system, our system of government, and our Constitution, including the Bill of Rights which is meant to protect us from tyrannical governments.
The marchers on September 12 came for a variety of reasons and causes. But, the overriding sentiment was, “We are being taken over by Hostile Forces – TYRANTS!”
They believe ObamaWorld is determined to usurp our God-given freedoms and impose a very ungodly fascist/socialist government under their CONTROL.
They object to the purposes and methods being used to try to achieve these ends – intimidation, lies, threats, deception, false promises, extortion, becoming Elitists, favoring Elites, cronyism, ignoring and breaking laws, ignoring the people, demeaning and mocking of critics, installation of thugs in key roles, overriding all opposition or other points of view, etc.)
Let me be clear: GOD HATES TYRANNY and He will deal with tyrants in time! (See Pharaoh, Goliath, Ahab and Jezebel, Haman, King Rehoboam, Herod, Babylon, the Roman Empire and the USSR, to name but a few; see Heb 1:9; also Prov 6, Ps 2 and 73, and Is 13).

9/12 was a Transformative Event (by Clarice Feldman and Rosslyn Smith)
“Sometimes an event occurs which is transformative in a way that everyone who sees it or participates in it instantly is aware of. Yesterday's demonstration in Washington DC is one of those rare happenings in my opinion.”
“The feeling I have is that this is a wretched political class, as full of itself as it is idea-less and talentless and the people know it. They are disgusted enough with the new American elitism to travel on their own dime by any means available to come here to let Congress and the President know that they will use every legal means at their disposal to overthrow them. And overthrowing them is precisely what they intend to do.”
“We are witnessing a very rare phenomenon, the genuine, broad based spontaneous political movement with no visible charismatic leaders.”
The reason for our discontent(by Cal Thomas)
“The arrogance of power and disdain for average Americans is what fueled much of the dissent expressed in town-hall meetings.”
“Growing numbers of people see a small cadre of government, academic and media elites caring nothing about them except when it comes to their tax dollars.”
“Many, especially those who are conservative and, even worse, religious, are viewed by these elites as enemies of progress and sophistication.”
“They are mocked as NASCAR-loving, flag-waving, God-worshipping trailer trash. The people are getting the message and properly expressing themselves by peacefully (and loudly) assembling and petitioning government for a redress of their grievances.”
The Next Step: How Can We Follow Up on 9/12?(email sent by Americans for Prosperity, learn more at their website)
“I had a chance to speak with some of my fellow marchers. Many asked, ‘Where do we go from here?’ My answer was simple: Get involved with groups like AFP, and don’t stop fighting until we change the direction of this country. If 9/12 is the beginning and not the end, we can win. The next big event will again be in Washington, DC.”
“On Friday, October 2nd, AFP members from around the country will be holding a national town hall outside of the Capitol in conjunction with Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s Defending the American Dream Summit. Shortly thereafter, we will be making group visits to the offices of our Senators and Congressmen.”

Welcome to the Gangster Presidency (by Ed Morrissey)
“Instead of following the rule of law, Obama and his henchmen have threatened to kneecap their opposition in the press and use Porkulus as an extortion device to dictate policy.”
“Left-wing bloggers have been saying that the White House’s denial of making threats should be taken at face value”
“Think carefully about what’s happening here. The White House, presumably car czar Steven Rattner and deputy Ron Bloom, is seeking to transfer the property of one group of people to another group that is politically favored.”
"Gangster Government" Turning U.S. Into "Sinking Titanic" (by Susan Crile)
“Congresswoman Michelle Bachman took to the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday [Jun 9] to call out the ‘gangster government.’ She also likened America to the sinking Titanic.”
“We have ‘gangster government’ when the federal government has set up a new cartel and private businesses now have to go begging with their hand out to their local -- hopefully well-politically connected -- congressman or their senator so they can buy a peace offering for that local business.”
Playing the Racism Card(by Cal Thomas)
“Obama supporters will have difficulty explaining how a mostly white country could elect a black man president last November and 10 months later become a racist majority.”
“If racism is the cause of his difficulties, there must be many congressional Democrats who are racists, because they have the power to enact the president's agenda, but some are reluctant to do so.”
“There is a better explanation for the growing opposition to Mr. Obama. It has less to do with his ethnicity than it does his credibility. Character, after all, is colorless.”
An Allergic Reaction to the Race Card (by William Jacobson)
“The increasingly hysterical use of the the race card by liberal columnists, bloggers and politicians reflects the last gasps of people who, being unable to win an argument on the merits, seek to end the argument.”
“While the false accusation of racism is not a new tactic, it has been refined by Obama supporters into a toxic powder which is causing damage to the social fabric of the country by artificially injecting race into every political issue.”
“Over time, as Obama assumed the presidency and began implementing sweeping plans to restructure society and to run up the national debt to unthinkable levels, opposition to Obama's plans has grown. This opposition has little to do with race, and includes vast numbers of independents who voted for Obama.”
“Not surprisingly, the pace of racial accusations has picked up as opposition has grown.”
“The effect of these accusations is poisonous. Race is the most sensitive and inflammatory subject in this country. By turning every issue, even a discussion of health care policy, into an argument about race, liberals have created a politically explosive mixture in which the harder they seek to suppress opposing voices, the harder those voices seek to be heard.”
