God is Abnormal

Posted on by Christy Petty

The newest term used during this time of turmoil, is the ‘New Normal’, and getting back to it. Which does not make sense, we can’t get back to something new. It is just another way to daze and confuse in the midst of this chaos.

nor•mal

adj.1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; regular; natural.2. serving to fix a standard.3. of natural occurrence.4. approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment.5. free from any mental disorder; sane.6. free from disease or malformation.7.a. being at right angles, as a line; perpendicular.b. of the nature of or pertaining to a mathematical normal.8.a. (of a solution) containing one equivalent weight of the constituent in question in one liter of solution.b. pertaining to an aliphatic hydrocarbon having a straight unbranched carbon chain, each carbon atom of whichis joined to no more than two other carbon atoms.n.9. the normal form or state; the average or mean.10. the standard or common type.11.a. a perpendicular line or plane, esp. one perpendicular to a tangent line of a curve, or a tangent plane of asurface, at the point of contact.b. the portion of this perpendicular line included between its point of contact with the curve and the x-axis.

Conforming to the standard. Usual. Regular. Fix a standard. Natural Occurrence (like sickness and death and the world continues to operate). Average intelligence, mentality. No disease. No malformation. … Then the rest is about math and science, and above my average intelligence. Looking at the definition, normal can not be attained, new or old. We have never been normal and never will be.

So what is it we want? What is our goal? To go back? To to be doing what we were doing before we first heard about the Wuhan flu, that morphed to Covid 19, to conform to political correctness. We will never go back. Cant, won’t happen, nothing will be as it was. . Yesterday is gone. January 1, 2020 is gone. July 4, 1962 is gone, October 29,1929 is gone. December 29, 1845 ,gone. October 1, 1949, gone. April 3, 33 is gone. Gone, but not forgotten. Gone, but not wasted. Gone, but the decisions made, the actions taken, those days past, impact today and tomorrow, eternity.

Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 ESv

We can only go forward.

“Remember not the former things,nor consider the things of old.19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:18–19

Wake up every day and know there is potential for better. For surviving it, or not. For making good or evil. For knowing there will be trouble. Knowing something not ‘normal’ will definitely happen during the day, for everyone everywhere. Be it a hiccup or a missile coming through the roof.

John 16:33b In the world you will have  tribulation. But  take heartI have overcome the world.”

THIS is what we must understand there is always trials and strife we must endure. Troubles are different for every person. For some it can be encountering a cobra on the path as they walk 3 miles to get their water for the day. For others it is the nurse not being able to find a vein on dialysis day. Some it is the baby teething and not taking a nap and needing to get dinner ready for guests. A few are waking up every morning knowing they are not welcome in the life of someone they love dearly. Today, where I am, thousands of people work in an industry dependent on oil, and the barrel price just dropped into the negative value. Recovering from a virus is much more sure than having a job around here. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. How much worse will it be?

Matthew 6:34 (ESV)“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

We are in uncertain times. The truth is man always has been. We don’t know what tomorrow brings, ever. We don’t control tomorrow, we don’t control the next second. The frustration and fear comes from our not realizing that. We thought we had everything in control, then; we couldn’t go to work, because someone in China got the flu. An electric wire sparked in the attic. Someone assumed the worst of you. Your child choked. You didn’t see that car coming. You heard the wail of the tornado siren. The levee broke. Your husband didn’t come home one night. You started cramping in the 4th month. There is a run on the bank.You find a lump. A missile is sent in the sky. It rains 40 days and nights. The earth opens. Planes crash into buildings. Drought kills the crops. You are taken into captivity. Your child is diagnosed with lifelong illness. Your innocent friend arrested and crucified. All times are uncertain, all the time.

So what do we do? We look at the one and only who is in control. God. We know that whatever happens, in this fallen world, we will come out of it with God. Maybe literally we will be WITH God in our next moment and out of this world. Or we will come out of this trial strengthened and renewed. Whatever it is, He IS in Control.

Joshua 1:9 (ESV)Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Romans 8:18 (ESV)For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Habakuk 319  God, the Lord, is my strength;See 2 Sam. 2:18 he makes my feet like the deer’s;he makes me Amos 4:13; Mic. 1:3 tread on my Deut. 32:13; 33:29 high places.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him

Free From Fear is Liberty for All

Posted on by Christy Petty

Today I received an email from my son. My son received his inspiration, to share with, hopefully, the nation, from God.

This is born from the response of our government to the coronavirus. This response, reaction was/is meant to ease fears. It is not. It is creating more. Out of the generated fear, we the people are losing our God given freedom. The infection is not the virus, it is fear.

God given words for us all:

Freedom and self-governance have been a beacon for the United States for over two centuries. The idea that people can govern themselves based on inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, form and shaped this nation and emboldened the world to do the same. The principles of a free governing society are based on biblical context that these rights, rights of freedom, are endowed by our Creator, the one true God.

Adversity is not new to this freedom seeking nation. From the onset, in the forming of the constitution, many men debated the limits of our government and the morality of a people to manage that government. Freedom prevailed. From the banks of the Delaware, Washington led a brigade of hungry and cold rebels in an ambush attack against the tyrants on Christmas day. Freedom prevailed. From the battlefield of Gettysburg, drenched in the blood of 50,000 men, fighting and dying for those that could not. Freedom prevailed. From the shores of France to the ashes of Iwo Jima. From the Jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Iraq. Freedom prevailed.

Let us, as a people concerned with the freedoms entrusted to us by a benevolent God, not forget the freedoms that have been secured so sacrificially by generations before. Let us not so easily comply with fear to reduce this freedom to a hope of survival. Let us be mindful that the fear of the founders was a government that could control lives. I debate who is our greater enemy, the unseen jackal that causes sickness for a time, or the enemy that fights within us to so easily give up freedoms in exchange for a false sense of security. In the words of Patrick Henry, “Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!” The difference in our time, in place of a tyrannical government forcing us into those chains, it would be our own apathy that gladly accepts them.

Hysteria is a Killer

Posted on by Christy Petty

Within a few weeks life as we know it has completely changed here in the US. Most of the world has changed. All for the Chinese virus, coronavirus, COVID-19. Or, is this change actually from the panic and fear that the media and some of the leaders and powers that be, have infected us with? 

The virus, I can only assume, by what I am being told by the media and those repeating what they have heard, is highly contagious and can cause some major medical, and possibly death for some. I don’t know anyone who has been diagnosed with this virus. Though,I may have had this virus a couple of months ago, as did a few others I know. I had a cough. I was wheezie, to the point that I borrowed my sons inhaler. Never again! I had fever a couple of times. This lasted about 5 days in different degrees.  Always feeling well in the AM and then declining in the PM, I thought it was allergies, until I didn’t. 

I do know that media has presented this virus as the bubonic plague. Media has spread fear and panic by leading stories with how many have died from cornovirus, without presenting how many are living having had the virus. No one is presenting the real numbers of population vs infected. No one is telling that the stats are askew, because so many may have had this virus, like myself, months ago and it came and went like any cold does.  It is not being told that the majority of those dying are older and would have died if they had had a cold, the flu, the Chinese flu, or a stomach bug. There are also those of us with auto immune diseases , RA, Celiac, Lupus, Diabetes, Thyroid disease… or compromised immunities from Cancer treatment and such, we are susceptible to catching this thing and having a hard time with it. No one is reporting that the strong and healthy are either not getting sick or are mildly ill with this. No one is speaking of the countries (South Africa, Uganda, ) who regularly take malaria medications, are not being infected by this virus.  

Fear and panic is what is shutting down retail businesses and hotels. Fear and panic has closed schools, canceled plays, and sporting events, and tests, and graduations. Fear and panic has emptied the shelves of toilet paper. Fear and panic has closed theaters. Fear and panic has closed the doors of churches. Fear and panic has my husband and all his coworkers sitting at home having online meetings for 2 weeks. Fear and panic lost my son his job

No person collapsed from the coronavirus in any public place and was wheeled out by people in hazmat suits. I have seen a person describing the feeling of drowning, from the pneumonia. Frightening. This man also described being healed completely with the hydoroc. Within 24 hours of taking it. Another described her symptoms the same as what I myself went through  felt badly for a couple of nights when I had fever, and the cough was irritating, but the ‘regular’ flu was much worse. 

The damages and hurt I have seen is from the fear and panic. The hysteria. I have seen the repercussions of the fear and panic with my son being laid off. I heard the pain in his bosses voice as she described her paycut and the worry for all those hourly coworkers who were laid off. I know of others who are closing their business doors, wondering if they can open them again. Those that had their retirement in stocks that the bottom dropped out of, are in fear of never recovering. Will the banks be lenient with the mortgage and car payment? I have seen the panic in the grocery store as people stared at empty shelves.“WE should have stocked up. Does someone know something we don’t know? Why are all the beans and toilet paper gone? “ 

I have heard the disappointment in my granddaughters voice when she told of the play that was canceled in 4 weeks, that was to star in. The seniors in high schools all over the nation have been dreaming and working towards the day of walking across that stage. That is a memory that will never be had for them or their parents. The disappointment and sadness for those who burying their loved ones, alone, for the fear. Wedding ceremonies canceled. Looking at that new grandchild through the nursery windows. All lost, because of fear and panic. 

There is really nothing to fear, but fear itself. God tells us Fear Not and Be Not Afraid  at least 365 times directly. And then more than that subtly. This world is fallen, we will get sick. We will die. Dying is part of life. We have to die from this world to get to the next. Not knowing what the next is is where this fear is generated, by Satan. To know that after this world we step into the perfect presence of God removes all fear. Satan does not want you to have that assurance. 

So, If you are sick, stay home.  If you are susceptible to infections, do what you have been doing stay out of crowds. When you are out in the world, don’t touch everything, wash your hands, be aware of spreading germs and picking them up. Go to work. Go to school. Go to exercise class.Go camping. Go with your spouse on a hotel getaway. Go to church. Go to God and get right with Him. 

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deuteronomy:8

News Flash

Does anyone remember when the source of knowing what was going on in the world was the newspaper, which had a morning and evening delivery?  Then the television had news, with Walter Cronkite and others like he, telling us the news morning, noon and evening. Just the news. Radio was the away from home source for news. All had news, what was happening, headlines of what we missed during the night. Maybe some of it was slanted, or biased, but most was the news. The information. Given to the people to discern for themselves what it meant. Little of it had anything to do with the private lives of others. Just the facts that were pertinent to us.

Not anymore.  We have computers, smartphones, smartwatches. Social media allows news affiliates, and any person who has an opinion,thought or fact, shares to all who are ‘signed up’.  The problem is, too many people consider their thoughts and opinions are fact. And the same too many do not know the difference between a thought and an opinion.

A great many people mistake opinions for thought. Herbert V. Prochnow

News media has lost sight of fact and opinion. They get a few facts and decide what in their opinion will draw ratings and fabricate the rest. Which essentially is lying.

Objective journalism and an opinion column are about as similar as the Bible and Playboy magazine.–Walter Cronkite

Trumps Weeds 

Posted on by Christy Petty

Read this and then come back…..  This article is of the phenomena of supporters of Donald Trump, especially those who are Christians.

Trumpsters are an enigma.  A great deal of them are what I label as wrestle mania people. People who watch WWF and think that it is real. The Joe Dirts of the world. These people  usually do not have an over abundance of money. They don’t usually have an education, beyond the basic, high school a little bit of college or tech school, not PHD types. They are smart and can figure most everything out, without that piece of paper.  Yet,  they equate themselves with Donald Trump. This is is the paradox . Trumpsters  are family people. Loyal to their country. They teach their kids manners, to say “yes sir” and “please” and “thank you”. These people will pull over and help change flat tire for you. Take you to the gas station. They will give you money in the checkout line if you are short a few dollars. And they support Trump, who is brass, classless, unrefined. He himself is not highly intelligent. He does not give anything away unless he can get double back. Family values mean nothing to him.   Trumpsters see all of his loudness and idiocy as bravery. All of his money making, and ‘investing’ as having business know how. Trumpsters just hear the words he yells and think he is saying something, because he says he is. Trumpsters don’t really  understand big government, socialism, or the constitution being for the people’s protection from the government. Trump doesn’t either. Trumpsters think he is speaking their language .  They don’t realize he is just a car salesman who has learned how to talk like them. To make the sale. They don’t know he wouldn’t spend 10 minutes in the same room with them because he deems himself much better than everyone else on this planet. That he is truly not a good person.

Do You Know an Ars When You See One?

Posted on by Christy Petty

The emperors new clothes was written by Hans Christiaan Anderson in 1837, it is based on a a medieval spanish story written in 1335 . And that story was probably written before then. Not much has changed, under the sun.

The story is of a a king who really did not give a flip about being a ‘good’ king he just wanted to be a good looking king. Most of the people around him pretty much treated him like a king, floundering all over him, telling him he is awesome, totally kissing his royal ars.  No one ever condradicted nor stood for what they themselves believed in, or even had a belief beyond what the king told them to believe.  The awe of the king, his money, what he said he was was all they needed to worship him. They always hoped that if they kissed enough of his royal ars, he would bless them with less taxes, or hire them to work in the castle. They never really received anything from him, he was really just about himself. He was king. He had the power to do as he wished, and he convinced everyone around him that was all they needed, him and his wonderful self. Of course there were some who realized this king was useless. Many did not care for him at all, yet no one would ever stand up and say anything about the king or to the king when he was wrong, for fear of being ostracized by all the other people or worse, put in prison. Though there was no law stating you had to agree with the king always.  

Some tailors came to the kingdom and heard of the vanity and stupidity of this fool of a king and conspired to make some money.  They explained to the king they had magical clothe that was the rage of all the other kings. It was only visible to those who were highly intelligent. Stupid people could not see it.  The king could not see it. Not wanting to appear as stupid as he was he lied and said he did see it.  He then ordered the men to make him something extroidenary to wear.  They did ;).  

The king explained to all of his ministers and such of this magical cloth, so they too feigned intelligence and said it was a glorious outfit, as the king modeled.  Allowing them to see his royal ars in all of it’s glory, they kissed it all the more. The king of course saw himself as naked, as they did. Neither admitting they were not intelligent. 

The fool of a king, in all of his royal stupidity, decided he should take himself out into the kingdom and parade himself all about, in his new clothes. His vanity, and foolishness had taken all reason from him. He who thought he was better than everyone, because he was king and had lots of money, wanted to go out and show off his clothes, that only wise people could see, that even he himself could not see.  (Narcasist)

Of course none of those around him who are looking for handouts, and ratings, had the character to take the poor idiot aside and explain the truth. So a parade was made. 

In the parade, all the townsfolk play along, not wanting to appear stupid, for they each think the next guy must see something they don’t, as well as the king. For who would be so stupid as to walk around naked in the streets and make a fool of themselves? A child in the crowd, who had the courage and character to speak the truth for what it is, exclaimed.  “But he is naked, he has no clothes on”.   This bravery, to speak the truth takes hold and the crowd begins to proclaim the same as the child.  The emperor? He believes the child is probably correct, that he has been duped. He continues though to parade through the streets, lying to himself and allowing those who are too weak to admit they are following a fool, to kiss his royal ars.  

DonaldTrumphairnest_zpsd0879371Trump the son of multi millionaire real estate developer, business bankrupting, casino owning multi divorcee,billionaire,closet democrat, narcissist, fool..

Hillary Clinton. A Woman, wife of a philandering US president. Lawyer. Senator and Secretary of State. Stole $200,000 worth of Whitehouse furnishings and art.She manipulates the law, and lies and pleads the fifth on a regular basis. Involved in voter fraud, Benghazi attack….

Raised in Indonesia by his step father.  Anti white, anti American, anti gun, anti freedom, anti Isreal. Pro abortion, pro government control pro Muslim(brotherhood), communist. And he may be a bit gay

. 

 
Don’t they look good? And that is what matters… LOOKING good.

And what if you stand up and point out the lies, the lunacy, the fools? Ted Cruz is one of those that stands up and speaks the truth. Willing to take the insults and abuse, if that is what it takes to get the rest of us to wake up. 

Cruz accused the president of being “openly desirous to destroy the Constitution and this Republic.

Ted Cruz called Obama “the world’s most powerful communist”

referred to Republicans as a “surrender caucus.

Cruz accused Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of telling “a flat-out lie”

Cruz “gloated” at the news and accused the speaker of making “a secret and insidious deal with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi

Cruz said: “If it is the case that the federal government is seizing millions of personal records about law-abiding citizens, and if it is the case that there are minimal restrictions on accessing or reviewing those records, then I think Mr. Snowden has done a considerable public service by bringing it to light.

Cruz promised to keep speaking until he was “no longer able to stand”

Cruz stated: “I would do anything, and I will continue to do anything I can, to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare.

Cruz said that “[t]here is a liberal fascism that is dedicated to going after believing Christians who follow the biblical teaching on marriage.”

Cruz, “Those who hate Israel hate America. Those who hate Jews hate Christians. If those in this room will not recognize that, then my heart weeps. If you hate the Jewish people you are not reflecting the teachings of Christ. And the very same people who persecute and murder Christians right now, who crucify Christians, who behead children, are the very same people who target Jews for their faith, for the same reason”.

The Democrats the Republicas(GOP) the Media all don’t like Ted.They critisize him for speaking up, telling the truth. For not following the man made rules, the protocol. He bothers them because, he says ” The emporer has no clothes.” Making them, and the emporer look like fools they are.  

  
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

May I have the strength and courage and wisdom to speak the truth, know the truth, and live in truth.

What are You Sowing? Men of the World or God?

Posted on by Christy Petty

How soon we forget. Or is it we are totally clueless of what is happening to us, We THE People, over and over again.

In 1992 and again in 1996, a millionaire Ross Perot, decided to run for President of the US. He tickled the ears of all those conservatives, who know most of the Republicans are not any ‘better’ than the liberal democrats.  The yellow dog democrats would never leave their debased party, so no danger there. Ross Perot, a spoiler candidate, pulled votes from those who wanted to change, who wanted something better, who wanted less government control. He deceived many conservatives into voting for moral principles, the Republicans had abandoned, that he had no intention of ever delivering. By doing so, the majority of the electoral vote went to the liberal Billy Boy Clinton.

There is a definition for this,: Vote splitting is an electoral effect in which the distribution of votes among multiple similar candidates reduces the chance of winning for any of the similar candidates, and increases the chance of winning for a dissimilar candidate. 

In the United States vote splitting commonly occurs in primary elections.[1] The purpose of primary elections is to eliminate vote splitting among candidates in the same party. If primary elections or party nominations are not used to identify a single candidate from each party, the party that has more candidates is more likely to lose because of vote splitting among the candidates from the same party. Primary elections only occur within each party, so vote splitting can still occur between parties in the secondary election

In some cases, even though the spoiler candidate cannot win themselves, their influences upon the voters may enable the candidate to determine deliberately which of the more viable candidates wins the election — a situation known as a kingmaker scenario. With a first-past-the-post voting system, this is particularly feasible where a spoiler candidate recommends tactical voting or runs on a false manifesto to bolster the prospects of their secretly preferred winning candidate, which in some jurisdictions and circumstances can amount to electoral fraud.   (WIKI.) 

Is it strategic? Are the liberals ‘hiring’ the Ross Perots, and Donald Trumps? I doubt they have enough money to actually hire them. But they could still be ‘wooing’ them.  Or at least using them to their advantage. Maybe someone somewhere, the Donald’s and Ross’s, are wanting to deflate the Republican party. For their own jolly’s or out of pure pride and ignorance. It really does not matter why it happens. What matters is that WE THE PEOPLE are aware of what is happening.

The majority are NOT liberal in this nation. The majority are NOT gay. The majority are NOT pro abortion. The majority are NOT one welfare. The majority are NOT Muslim. The majority are not ILLEGAL immigrants. The majority are not transgender. The majority are not feminist.  The majority ARE NOT YELLOW DOG DEMOCRATS.  But the majority is not what the Republicans now stand for, either. This is how the libs are able to ‘win’ with the minority of people.

The other side of liberal Democrat has many labels: Republicans, Libertarians, Tea Party, Right Wing, Fundamentalist.  Some are as yellow as the Democrats. And some are independent, responsible, God fearing = Conservative.

It is the belief in our independence, our God given right to choose righteously  that has weakened the majority. Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Being independent of our government we can succeed, we can reap what we sow, and receive monetary blessing from God, and become Perot’s and Trumps. Yet, to much of the majority, (and themselves), these men have become gods, idols. We THE People have forgotten what true values, character and morality are. It can not be bought, it must be graced upon us.

Thousands of years ago THE People of God looked at those without God and decided they wanted to be just like them. They told The Creator they did not want Him to lead them. They wanted a sinful fallen man, they wanted to be liberal worldly heathens. God gave them what they asked for: 1 Samuel 8: 7 And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. 9 Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”………

1 Samuel 8:11 And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: 

  • *He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots. 
  • *12 He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 
  • *13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.
  • 14 And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants. 
  • *15 He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants. 
  • *16 And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men,[a] and your donkeys, and put them to his work. 
  • *17 He will take a tenth of your sheep. 
  • And you will be his servants. 
  • 18 And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”

Government

They got what they wanted. BUT they also had more instruction, God did not leave them, He never does.  

1 Sam 3 “Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you fear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the Lord your God. 15 However, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

Saul did not turn out to be all he was to be, for the people, for God. He was too full of himself and all he could do for the people. HE took all the glory. Turns out he had no character, or integrity, he was half heartedly following God.  He compromised over and over again.  1 Samuel 15: 10 Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, 11 “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.”

God brought David onto the scene- The youngest of his family, a sheep herder. David had character, integrity, and a whole heart for God. Not perfect, but he always knew who his God was, and that God’s people should worship God and not the world.  

David did not let Goliath, his family, Saul’s attempting to murder him, turn him away from God’s calling him to be king of his people. To the day Saul died, the man who was trying to destroy him, David honored him. He did not compromise his integrity, or God’s character. 

The people were rewarded for keeping God’s commandments,obeying. For knowing the worldly ways would remove their blessings, and following a man of God. The people did not compromise. 

Donald Trumps was a liberals liberal.

We THE People will get what we ask for. We must look beyond the MAN.
