Real Americans – Common Sense for Freedom
We’ll err on the side of Liberty EVERY time. Typical of any collectivist group or power wielder. We saw that Koome Ministries and Kamal Saleem were speaking in Michigan (all the details) when the Sheriff there shut them down.
Following this incident led us to an even LARGER threat to liberty. Fight attempts to suppress free speech and American Freedom by the UN or by treaty.

Secularists, Culturalists, Diversity advocates and other ignorant or willfully dishonest folks will disagree. Those of other faith traditions often celebrate it but not for its real reason which they are prohibited from believing. Commercialists don’t care about the real reason. Politicians want to posture about it while avoiding or politicizing the real reason. However the Christmas season HAS A REAL REASON. One to benefit all mankind that have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
Secularists hate it and fight and litigate against it. The lost reject it and get defensive when we promote it. The Atheist rejects it by means of their own religions of evolution and antitheist philosophy. However most of them welcome it and “celebrate” it, look forward to it and partake in the frenzied materialist and secular parts of it. They even will be caught saying things like “peace on earth” and “good will toward men” (excuse me, persons).
It is Christmas. Regardless of the arguments that may distract people from the true reason for Christmas. The reason is Jesus, the Christ Child, the prophesied Savior of humanity. His birth, of a virgin in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago is the reason for the season. Our Redeemer’s birth the hope of mankind, the Way, the Truth and the Light. God’s gift to mankind (excuse me, humankind).
Businesses won’t mention it, Schools and “Public” entities won’t acknowledge it and antichristian attack the faith component of it. Yet they all want it. They all set aside time for sales, activities and diatribes about it. Find the business that doesn’t realize a large portion of revenue from it. Find a public or private entity that doesn’t give time off for it, have parties specifically timed to coincide with it and often exchange gifts or grant pecuniary compensation during it. Find secular/humanist/atheist activists who don’t use it to gain notoriety to their causes from it (prior to going home to some sort of “celebration” of it). In the midst of denying it, obfuscating it or attacking it, nearly everyone acknowledges and celebrates it.
Christ, the King, born in Bethlehem that he might minister to this world before freely going to the Cross to die that our fallen human sins might be forgiven by God’s grace. Holding forth the promise of eternal life for those who believe in his undeniable Good News. Foretold, fulfilled and granted to an undeserving humanity. Reinforcement of the most powerful, compelling and impactful moral code ever presented to man for his betterment. Realization of man’s inability to comply with “Law”, a loving gracious God sent his Son to this world to be born of Mary and live as a man shining in sinless perfection before sacrificing himself to our undeserving benefit of eternal life.
This IS the reason for the Season, regardless of trees, presents, turkeys and family reunions. Jesus Christ, Son of God, glorious and warranting our praise, instilling joy to a world believing and unbelieving during this season celebrating the Christ Child’s birth.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with peace. I invite you to see the Good News in Luke and Matthew.

Letter from Jesus about Christmas –
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season.
How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don’t care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn’t allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all My followers did that there wouldn’t be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.
Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 – 8 .
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it:
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don’t have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.
3. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can’t afford and they don’t need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them.
4. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.
5. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don’t know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference.
6. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren’t allowed to wish you a “Merry Christmas” that doesn’t keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn’t make so much money on that day they’d close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families.
7. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary– especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name.
8. Here’s a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no “Christmas” tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don’t know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.
9. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don’t do things in secret that you wouldn’t do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine.
Don’t forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I’ll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I’ll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember :
I LOVE YOU,
JESUS
Thanksgiving should be for the purpose of its name. The turkey, ham and trimmings are wonderful as is the family fellowship and friendships many enjoy on this day.
There are two types we’ve observed this season.
The thankful. Who gather to express their gratitude together and share in the bounty they may enjoy or be provided by others. Those who care about others more than themselves. Those who understand that blessings proceed not from themselves or from government.
The sheople who are driven by envy, anger and an unwarranted and undeserved sense of entitlement to the fruits of OTHERS’ labors.
It is interesting to us that group one seems to be composed by a huge majority of those people of faith, while the other group is dominated by secularists, humanists and others who would rather complain than be thankful.
We at the American Freedom Network wish you and yours a joyous and content Thanksgiving. We are thankful for our friends and supporters but also for those who’s vision of America isn’t based in our founding principles. All Americans.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
You’ll find that, excepting “class warfare” (economic disparity based) all other self-defined or liberal defined “groups” are predicated on their self-identification rather than their nationality.
Shocking given this: “You cannot dedicate yourself to America unless you become in every respect and with every purpose of your will thorough Americans. You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America, has not yet become an American, and the man who goes among you to trade upon your nationality is no worthy son to live under the Stars and Stripes”. -Woodrow Wilson
If people you discuss politics delineate based on sub-grouping (racial, behavioral) they are very likely to be intolerant and often ignorant. Further they take their life in the U.S. so for granted that they can place other values ahead of their common nationality.

The Occupusses in Oakland claim that they “are the unemployed and those burdened by debt.”
Doesn’t it seem that sitting in a Park holding a sign isn’t the most efficient means of
If you look at some of the favorite “demands” of the Occupusses it becomes clear.
They of the claimed but unlikely “99%” want to be paid regardless of working or quality of any work. They also want free stuff. A message of selfish and greed? They want to stiff (debt “forgiveness”) those of you who DO work and who DO pay their debts.
Also, ask some of them who exactly forced them to borrow money. You’ll find the answer devolve to multiple explanations beginning “I want” or “I need” or even “I deserve”.
All about fairness? Nope, all about collectivism. Look at who financially supports the Occupusses.
These Flea Party types should get a job and quit borrowing money.
The OWS (Occupy Wall Street) types around the country are fully exercising their first amendment rights. Too bad for their vague complaints and episodic angst that so many amongst them are dirty, lazy, violent, theives or collectivist sheople. It really makes OWS look bad even with very limited coverage by most commerical media.
What makes the OWS people look the worst though are their variously stated “demands”. Let’s look at one for example; “CONGRESS PASS THE BUFFETT RULE ON FAIR TAXATION SO THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE & CLOSE CORPORATE TAX LOOP HOLES AND ENACT A PROHIBITION ON HIDING FUNDS OFF SHORE. No more GE paying zero or negative taxes. Pass the Buffet Rule on fair taxation so the rich pay their fair share. (If we have a really had a good negotiating position and have the place surrounded, we could actually dial up taxes on millionaires, billionaires and corporations even higher…back to what they once were in the 50′s and 60′s.”

So the driver here is that the protesters think the “rich” don’t pay a fair share. Who are the “rich” is the first question to come to mind. Which of the 53% of Americans who actually pay income taxes are “rich”?
Next: If you have 20 dollars and I have 10 why should you give more? How is an equal percentage not a “fair share” for everyone/anyone?
The final question is: upon what moral/ethical basis does anyone decide in their mind that any tax that is unequal is “fair“. Pass the rule that anyone who makes income, pays tax, at an EQUAL percentage. Don’t worry Occupusses, a person making 10 times what you do will pay 10 TIMES MORE TAX than you. What’s unfair about that? Everyone pays then.
That’s certainly more “fair” than having only 53% of income earners paying ALL the tax now.

There is a homosexual couple of women who share custody of a little boy. They have decided to give him “hormone blocking therapy” to prevent puberty until the little boy decides if he wants to “change his gender”. (Referenced Story)
This shows quite vividly the slippery slope that was consistently derided by homosexual activists in their quest to normalize and promote (even celebrate) abnormal behavior.
The whole “Transgender” concept is an artificial construct and non-sequitur. Liberals and collectivists, hedonists and moral relativists hate anything that can be measured because it destroys their selfish seeking of self satisfaction. You see, “gender” (a synonym for “sex“) is immutable. It is determined by your genes. You are BORN male or female (spare us the hermaphroditic anamolies, we don’t dodge or obfuscate debate here). Your sex isn’t something you “decide”.
Giving the child in this story hormone blockers is child abuse. Doing it until he “can decide” something that isn’t a decision is really stupid too. These two homosexual women just are fostering the overarching desire of sexual deviants to “be normal”, be accepted and yes, even be celebrated for aberrant, counter-physiological, deviant and assuredly ABNORMAL behavior.
Now, loving freedom, we don’t object should men or women choose to mutilate themselves surgically, assault their own body with artificial hormones and adopt the dress and mannerisms of the opposite (immutable) sex. Just don’t make regular folks have to pay for it. Moreover, don’t inflict your silly wishes for acceptance of your abnormality on ANY child you are raising.
We don’t advocate anything against the freedom of legally aged homosexuals to engage in whatever abnormal behaviors and fantasies they engage in to feel better about themselves. Its only when these goals are pushed politically or when these bizarre behaviors and attitudes are inflicted upon the innocent (11 year old boys are very innocent) that we object.
Of course by pointing out the abnormality of homosexual behavior and the oxymoronic pursuits of “gender change” will cause leftists to spastically spout about some “phobia” or “hate” and “intolerance” rather than addressing the salient points made.
The case in the news story is disgusting and should alarm any responsible adult who cares about the future of American Freedom.

Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, “why do airplanes fly?” on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: “Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.”
