Though I would run a conspiracy theory by everyone...
The conservative Media like Fox we all know is owned by Warner brothers and there are some muslims who are very high up in the company... so that compromises their integrity right? What about talk radio, though? It's free right! Maybe not.
If you sign up for the tea party e-mails, conservative groups... rush, hanity, beck, ingrahm (sp?) What do you get? A lot of info...usually with an option to donate money.
I have got e-mail after e-mail pleading for money money money! They mentioned donating up to 5 times in the same e-mail sometimes! O_o What's up with that?
It's pretty much true that conservative media exists because there is a market for it. Could it be deeper, though?
Perhaps they know that conservatives who care will donate money so they set up pawns to funnel in cash from the opposing side? (they as in the powers that be)
Don't get me wrong... I am not suggesting that Rush is intentionally funding the powers that be. However I believe that there is an aspect of that going on. The people behind the curtains dip their fingers in everything that makes money. It's just like selling WWJD T shirts... Christians are a marketing tool for the greedy. Conservatism is too.
Am I suggesting don't ever donate to these places? No.
I am suggesting, however, that you should still be very careful where you send your money. Don't assume just because it's a conservative organization they are going to use your money right. Corruption is not prejudiced to a particular political belief system. Neither is Greed.
Don't fall into the trap of letting "them" manipulate you through your own beliefs! Be smart and fight hard, but be sure what you are fighting against... and who you are fighting with.

Stand up for your Rights!
Just a thought on standing for your rights.
We have certain rights, we know they are being infringed upon, and we believe we should fight for those rights.
However, have we ever stopped to think that us standing up for our rights is exactly what they want! By trying to take away our guns, they know we will fight back. By trying to take away our parental authority they know we will stand against them. etc... etc...
When we stand up for our rights it causes division in the nation. Those who fight for their rights on one side and those who want those rights taken away on the other side. We all surely have heard the old saying, "Divide and conquer."
Once they know how to push our buttons they can try and provoke us. Then, once they get the laws passed (that are illegal in nature) and we fight against them they will have everything they ever wanted for a reason to take us out.
We will break laws, (illegal ones mind you) we will defy authority, we will stand against the powers that be. Whether they put us in jail, fine us, force us to give in, or go even further... we are walking into a trap of their own makings. We are heading down the road of resistance...the very road they want us to travel. Else wise they will not have an excuse to take out the conservative "terrorists."
So what then? Should we stand down? Lie down in the streets just waiting to be run over? Because run over us they will, make no mistake about that!
On the contrary, I would say. Instead of fighting blind and rioting and getting angry perhaps we should become organized.
Anyone who is interested in political reform back to the original constitution I think we should all unite and throw our support behind a group that strictly follows this principle. Don't remove the smaller scattered groups simply coordinate with all the other organizations.
Our scattered seemingly UN-coordinated state actually gives is an advantage because they have no singular target to destroy. Our efforts, however, must be coordinated!
Plan well, prepare for the traps we KNOW we are walking into, fight with organization in purpose but dispersion in grouping. Fight smart fight hard.
Just some thoughts to ponder. Keep in mind always God only knows where we are going and I mean that in all seriousness. He would be a good option to lean on. ;)

Christmas Greetings
Now I know a lot of people are going to be turned off by this...so I will tell you up front. I do not celebrate Christmas. My personal opinion is that Christians should not. Before you go nuclear on me, however, please listen to my explination.
Simple facts are:
#1 Jesus would have actually been born sometime in September.
#2 Ancient cultural sun "gods" were reportedly born on December 25th.
#3 Many of the traditions in Christmas are from pagan religions.
Now, what do I do? Hanuka? Yes and no. I do believe Hanuka is ok to celebrate and I have in the past. I do NOT, however, use Hanuka to replace Christmas. It simply isn't a replacement and many of the modern Hanuka traditions are just as infiltrated with paganism as Christmas.
I DO celebrate the birth of Messiah. I simply do not do it on December 25th and I do not use the common Christmas traditions. No where in the bible are we commanded to celebrate the birth of Christ and so even if we don't we are not sinning. Certainly those of us who choose to do it in a different time and way are no more sinning. (I have run into people who act like and say I am)
Where do I get my information from? Well research, my own and others. I have done extensive research online, in encyclopedias, books, and other sources I can think of. All in all I have discovered the above stated facts.
If you would like to view some information I will post some links to some of the best presentations I know off hand. :)
Consider prayerfully with an attitude of, "Not my will but THINE be done." Is all I ask.
Thanks,
Jason
Both these sources are trustworthy in my opinion my research has confirmed their information presented. Though I do not hold the exact same opinion on everything these two places touch on I do trust they have sincere hearts and are in the will of God.

Thanksgiving
There is only so much that can be said on thanksgiving... everyone knows the traditions.
I thought I would just throw some food for thought out there about the holiday from my opinion.
Thanksgiving is about giving thanks to God for what we have and His provisions. Many turn it into a day of feasting, but the pilgrims originally had very little to eat! I fear that too often we get caught up in feasting and visiting that we forget to give thanks.
Many people I know go around and say a couple things they are thankful for before the meal. I think this is a great idea but I would prefer a little more private setting. It's hard to be as thankful when put on the spot in front of others.
My ideas of thanksgiving is this. I think it would be great to fast for the whole day, contemplating the hardships that we have been spared yet the pilgrims went through. During this time we can spend alone time with God praising Him and thanking Him for all He has done for us.
After the sun sets get together with friends and family (or whatever time in the evening schedules permit) and have your thanksgiving meal.
As I said, this is just an idea I had and thought would be neat to do. Gives a little different perspective and feel to thanksgiving and maybe keeps it a little more along the lines of actually giving thanks to God more and more sincerely.
Let me know what you think or feel free to share your thanksgiving traditions.

Equality!! Scream for Equality...(and lets not forget tolerance)
Ok, so my wife and I were talking about this and I just wanted to share my thoughts. This blog post might be a little more poking fun at some specifics but more or less it outlines my opinion and I think a very important issue.
In our society you have racism, sexists, elitists, and who knows what all so I will try and cover the basis.
Tolerance... you do realize if you are screaming the word "Tolerance" in someones face that is very intolerant right? Yet those who get it screamed at them are usually (as a general rule) the more tolerant. This is simply because good people are not willing to do bad things to propagate their beliefs. Bad people are.
As far as tolerance and equality go for races... there is only ONE race. If you tested DNA from anyone from any ethnicity, and tribe, language, nation... of any age from the day of conception to death... guess what... it comes out as human DNA. *tada!*
Why then are some people dark and others light? Because we all have melanin in our skin, just different concentrations of it. What this means is all skin is the same color, just a different shade. That black guy down the street gets his skin color from a high concentration of melanin, the white guy down the other street gets his skin color from a very light concentration of melanin. There is only one skin color, just different intensities. Now that I have said that in three different ways lets move on.
How about gender wars? Feminism runs ramped in the streets and men are all that and a bag of chips. (Unfortunately some men and women really are all that and a bag of chips... or more...but that's another subject on tolerance right...?) *cough*
Feminists think both genders should be equal right? New York city, I am told, has made it legal for women to walk around topless...since men do it equality demands women should be able to do it too!
First off, since when does equality mean lowering the standard for the "suppressed" group? "Oh...men have lower standards than we do. That's not fair! We should have just as low standards as them!" Something about that logic just doesn't jive with me. Why not raise the standard of the "lacking" group. "Hm...women would get in trouble if they went around without shirts but men do it all the time. Maybe we should try and get men to start covering up." Sounds a little more reasonable I think.
After all the argument is that women's breasts aren't any more attractive to a man than a man's muscles are to a woman. If that is true, I aint letting no women see me without a shirt on...just feels wrong.
For all you gender equality criers out there...I have the ultimate solution! Go to a plastic surgeon and have them give you female and male organs and become bisexual...no one could discriminate against you then! (oh how wrong that is...)
Truth be told men and woman both are equally important! Men are better at some things and women are better at others. Both genders serve VERY different rolls but are equally important!
Elitists? What's to be said here? Arrogant people think they are better than others. Often times this too can be connect to "race" but as we discovered there is really only one race... the human race. Just because you have more doesn't mean you are worth more. It's just that some people have fallen so far down the mouth of moral depravity that they realize there is no crawling out. In despair they decide to head down to the other end to find an alternative exit. When they get there, however, they realize it's nothing but a whole load of crud.
So... in conclusion, next time someone screams EQUALITY!!! at you, just tell them "You first." Then, when they scream back in your face, "I am a tolerant equality striving person you bigot!" Just smile, shake your head, and walk away mumbling to yourself. Drives e'm squirly!
That's it for today. :) haha lol and a half box of ice cream later... this is what you get in a blog post.
