Lessons from Georgia
December 3, 2008
Republican Saxby Chambliss won a convincing victory in Georgia's Senate race runoff beating his opponent by 57.4% to 42.6%. That's not a specially unusual result for a solidly Republican state like Georgia. But when you look more carefully at the results, there are several lessons to be learned.
First of all, in the simplest terms, Mr. Chambliss ran as a solid Republican with conservative principles. He didn't try to water down his message. He even had Sarah Palin out on the hustings with him, and she's certainly not afraid to speak her mind. Above all, Mr. Chambliss didn't try to be almost-a-Democrat. He was rewarded with the solid confidence of the people.
Secondly, on November 4, Senator Chambliss won, but only by 49.8% to 46.8%, an insufficient victory under Georgia's election rules. Are people already regretting the result of the November 4 election? We suspect that is possible.
Thirdly, Georgia has returned to its normal voting pattern. So what happened on November 4 to drastically change that pattern? Let's look in more detail.
Georgia elections are largely decided by the four counties that make up Atlanta. Two are Republican and two are Democrat. The two Republican counties, Cobb and Gwinnett, were solid for Mr. Chambliss in both elections, though even more so on December 2. Senator Chambliss won 64 percent of the vote in Cobb County, compared to 53 percent on November 4. In Gwinnett County, he won 62 percent of the vote, compared to 53 percent last month. Yet actual turnout was lower. Democrats simply did not show up to vote in anything like the numbers they did last month. Is that a hint of the fourth and final lesson?
To find the fourth and most important lesson, you have to look at the two Democrat strongholds of DeKalb and Fulton, which make up the black areas of Atlanta. In DeKalb County, 233,727 people voted for the Democrat on November 4. Four weeks later, that number shrank to 138,850. Almost 95,000 Democrats in one county failed to vote. In next door Fulton County, the contrast was even greater: 134,075 Democrats voted on December 2, but 249,201 voted on November 4. More than 115,000 of them stayed home. So in two counties, a very small geographical area in suburban Atlanta, over 210,000 Democrats failed to vote in the second election.
Can this astonishing difference simply be the Obama factor? Might one be tempted to think a second thought? Did the 210,000 extra voters ever exist in the first place?
It was only after Bill Clinton left office that many people began to realize what had been going on previously. The planes stopped crashing. People stopped mysteriously jumping out of buildings. Remember? To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes, you may only realize that the dog did not bark when he starts barking again.
In this case, where Obama and his thugs simply didn't bother to commit vote fraud and allow fictional people to vote, the result was that 210,000 Democrats in just two counties disappeared. Put simply, in those two counties, 43.5% of Democrat voters on November 4 didn't show up on December 2.
If that pattern was repeated around the country, and we're pretty sure it was, then vote fraud was even more massive than we might have realized. Without it, undoubtedly, John McCain would be forming his Cabinet today.
But let's not look back; let's look forward. If we do nothing to prevent it, free elections in America are over. The race will always go to the Democrats. Their underworld methods are far superior to those of a naïve Republican Party. It's up to you and me to raise the issue and keep on doing so. More is at stake than just elections. As Jesus said: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” (Luke 16:10)
If Mr. Obama acts to stop this vote fraud, he will surely be doing a service to the nation. But if he fails to stop the vote fraud, as we feel sure he will, he will be punished at the Ballot Box and from above. Deuteronomy 25:15-16 states clearly: “You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.”

Untangling the web of deceit
November 24, 2008
Here's a little dose of reality. The incoming administration, which was advised before the election by the discredited former leaders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has named a Treasury team composed of precisely those individuals who are largely responsible for the economic crisis. In this and many other ways, Mr. Obama has pulled a massive deceit on the American people. He has blamed, and continues to blame, President Bush for the misguided actions of President Clinton which triggered the subprime crisis.
More generally, by using a focused inner anger, Alinsky tactics, massive vote fraud, yard sign theft, and other unethical practices, accompanied by vague Nazi-style rhetoric, a nobody from nowhere, who has little time for God and His ways and who has yet to produce a genuine birth certificate, has managed to be elected President of the United States. “A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit.” (Proverbs 26:24) We would do well to remember that scripture. And this one too: “Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.” (Psalm 5:9)
This leaves us with a dilemma. What do we do? Of course, we should pray that God will lead Mr. Obama into paths of integrity, honesty and righteousness. And at the same time we must pray for our nation, as we are careful to daily monitor our liberties and our culture for signs of erosion, and react accordingly.
We are likely to see attacks on talk radio, the Internet (including this web site), home schooling and other lifelines to sanity. After all, the goal of the socialists is to discourage contrary thinking and communication, while their words are inspired by Orwellian doublethink. In 1984, George Orwell defined Doublethink as “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient.”
If this sounds vaguely familiar, you'll probably recall the last Democrat president, who promised “the most ethical administration in history” when he took office. Today, that remark is regarded with wry humor when considered as a preface to the Clinton years, an administration which featured more ethical violations than any other in American history.
The portents are troubling. But let us not compromise our beliefs. The America we have known is about to be attacked by an insidious fifth column. What can we do? Immediately, we can guard our own households. We can ensure our own lives are as free as possible from sin. Then, we can cry out to God, as did King David: “Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.” (Psalm 43:1) And our prayers shall be answered.

A return to commentary
November 20, 2008
Long-time readers may remember that Page One Daily began ten years ago today, as a column inside Exegesis, a commentary I used to write, now renamed Time for Reality.
It's well over five years since I last wrote a regular column, and I sense the time has come to resume - but with a difference!
During that time, weblogging or "blogging" has become popular: the general idea is to write shorter pieces much more frequently. I will bow to that fashion, at least for now, without ignoring the opportunity to write longer pieces as circumstances warrant.
Therefore, we'll reverse the situation of a decade ago, and commentary columns will appear here first, before being archived over at Time for Reality. Indeed, we'll archive only the most important ones. For the first few days, you'll notice a blank space below these words, but as new articles appear at the top, the blank space will be filled up.
America and its culture face a major new battle, and so I take up arms, that I may not be found absent from my post. The recent catastrophic election has placed the cultural battle - and the whole raison d'etre of America - in the front line. It's a battle we must fight together. I do hope you'll join me.
Care to comment? You can send e-mail to me here. Be sure to insert the @ symbol and take out the word (at). Thanks!
