I’ll finish with the latest liberal Rant— a sign of hypocrisy as usual.
This episode may be a little longer so let’s get started…
The verse of the day: Romans 15:4—
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
There is something timeless about the writings of our founding fathers. When the Constitution was an uphill battle, not unlike today, three men began writing letters to the citizens of New York, explaining why it was so necessary to enact the Constitution. Much like the Bible instructs us on how we should love and respect each other, it also is intended to endure the ages, without changes, regardless of how WE feel should change. The Bible and the Constitution are written for our instruction and through that instruction we should find encouragement to always remain hopeful for a great nation.
Mailbag—
I received this feedback from a listener named Joe:
"I was searching for conservative Christian podcasts on iTunes tonight and stumbled upon yours. I can’t tell you how refreshing it was to listen to someone actually tell it like it is these days."
God bless,
Joe
Though I do not do this for my own glory. It is wort the effort of doing it when I know people enjoy it, and find the response refreshing. Thank you again Joe for the feedback.

The Sixth Rule for Radicals—
Over the past four weeks I have been presenting Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. The first rule of making your enemy think you have more strength than you really do, and the second and third, remaining inside your skill zone while moving your opponent out of theirs. The fourth, "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules— the Bible. Last week I covered the use of ridicule to rile your opponent. This week’s rule is is especially good for anyone taking action on their favorite issue.
The sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. If your people are not having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.
Much like this podcast, a tactic is likely to succeed is one the tactician enjoys. If something feels like drudgery, you will not only dread doing it, you’re interest will fade, no one will join you and you will likely be very ineffective in making headway. When you focus on issues of importance to you, and you use tools that are available, you can identify politicians who do not share your views and vote accordingly.
I’ve picked on California before, simply because it’s pickable. This time however I will focus on the state in general and their federal representatives in the House and Senate. To do an analysis, let’s go to the Planned Parenthood Action Website. Let me be clear, the name of this organization is not factually correct. It is rather Planned Oops Disposal, directly relating to lack of planning.
In any case,
