Senate – Don Boys https://donboys.cstnews.com Common Sense for Today Sun, 05 Mar 2023 04:46:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.29 Wannabe Senator, Raphael Warnock Twists Bible to Justify His Radical Positions! https://donboys.cstnews.com/wannabe-senator-raphael-warnock-twists-bible-to-justify-his-radical-positions https://donboys.cstnews.com/wannabe-senator-raphael-warnock-twists-bible-to-justify-his-radical-positions#respond Thu, 10 Dec 2020 15:13:07 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=2738 Reverend Raphael Warnock, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, wants you to vote him into the U.S. Senate in place of Senator Kelly Loeffler, who has demonstrated she is the staunchest supporter of President Trump. Warnock’s record reveals him to a radical racist using his clerical position to step, not up, but down into national politics.

If the GOP loses its majority status in the Senate, it will give the leftwing Democrats the power to put America into a freefall, landing us in a Socialist hell. Senator David Perdue’s seat is also in jeopardy being challenged by a lightweight novice Jon Ossoff. Perdue’s refusal to debate Ossoff is a huge political mistake. Perdue is slightly ahead in the polls, and you know the polls.

Ossoff is married to a physician whom he started dating as a teenager and “were together for more than a decade before Ossoff proposed in 2017.” His campaign statement admitted, “They’ve been together 12 years and were students together at Georgetown University.” Earlier media characterized his future wife as “his live-in girlfriend.”

That means Biden and Harris are joined by Ossoff as famous fornicators. Of course, in this “enlightened” day, sexual immorality is no big deal. After all, President Trump has been a member of that club for decades. While that is a fact, it is also a fact that if I have to choose between a fornicator who advocates abortion and the radical left agenda and a fornicator who rejects baby killing and is for liberty and free enterprise, not a Socialist state, my choice is easy to make.

Republicans must keep a majority in the Senate, or the nation will become as lost as the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

When Warnock was assistant pastor of a church in Harlem, they had Fidel Castro preach for them! The congregation chanted, “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel,” and closed the rally by singing the official Socialist left-wing anthem, Internationale! Fidel Castro was the Cuban communist revolutionary dictator who butchered anyone who opposed his Marxist plans, and he expressed a desire to use nuclear weapons against the United States. The stupid Baptists praised his speech, saying, “Viva Cuba!”

That is religion, but it is not Christianity that brought freedom to millions of people. I’m ashamed they have “Baptist” in their church name. I can assure you they are not biblical and historic Baptists.

Warnock refuses to inform us if he attended that service and if he opposed Castro’s appearance and if he joined in singing the Communist anthem. Any preacher with character would have stood in the congregation shouting his disagreement, disapproval, and disgust; then, he would have announced his resignation as assistant pastor. But then Warnock is an opportunist who has no character or convictions except for leftist convictions.

Warnock also praised Barack Obama’s anti-American, anti-Semitic pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright who often called for God to “damn America” not bless America. Warnock defended Wright’s “God Damn America” sermon as a form of “truth-telling,” which makes the United States “uncomfortable.” Wright also suggested America “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Wow, isn’t that Jeremiah a sweetheart! But the original Jeremiah would not be kind to the likes of Wright, Warnock and Company. Jeremiah wrote, “For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD:… Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.” Pastors were warned later when God said, “I will visit upon you the evil of your doings.”

The candidate said, “We celebrate Rev. Wright.” I don’t celebrate him; like Warnock, he is a false prophet in a wolf skin. Warnock also claimed, “Marxist critique has much to teach the black church.”

Georgians care that Raphael Warnock has often been a proud defender of Jeremiah Wright, and Georgians will send him back to his church study, not the U.S. Senate. He is not ready for prime time.

In 2016, Warnock criticized white evangelical Christians and Catholics for supporting Trump for President. He also charged that Trump campaigned in 2016 as a “fascist, racist, sexist xenophobe.” Isn’t it funny that radicals like Warnock accuse their opponents of what they themselves are!

Warnock opined, “Americans can’t serve God and the military,” but such a distortion convinces me that Warnock is twisting the Bible and history like a pretzel to support his candidacy, or he slept during seminary days when Early Church History was discussed. The very name of his church, Ebenezer Baptist of Atlanta, is a witness to Warnock’s error.

Those who declare that early Christians did not serve in the military are correct; however, the early Christians were not perfect. They had some error, often an excessive expression of biblical truth. Some of them threw themselves at martyrdom, thinking they would receive 100 times the rewards as others. While we can admire their sincerity, we must not emulate their stupidity. They wanted the martyr’s crown, so they often courted persecution and prosecution by going into pagan temples and breaking the furniture and idols. It got so bad that church leaders stated that any who sought death would not be considered martyrs. They were considered to be suicides.

The very early Christians would not serve in the military because of its paganism demonstrated by offering prayers to pagan gods. Furthermore, it was the military that broke up their services and dragged them to jail. Principled military people would never do that. Would they? In later days, the persecution subsided, and some Christians even came into power, and the anti-military attitude ceased.

The name of Warnock’s church militates against his anti-military position, making him look very foolish. His church is the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Maybe he doesn’t know the significance of his church name. In 1 Samuel 7:2–14, the prophet told the Israelites to put away their strange gods and confess their sins, followed by Samuel offering a burnt sacrifice to God.

After their obedience and submission, the Israelites soundly defeated the Philistines, and “the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them.” Samuel put up a stone in memorial and named it Eben-Ezer, meaning “stone of help.” As Samuel said, “Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.”

Had the Israelites followed the flawed, false, and fainthearted advice of Warnock, they would have fled to their tents and covered themselves with a blanket. But, no, they militantly went after their enemies. Obviously, you can serve God and the military. Had Israel followed Warnock’s advice, David would have pitched aside his sling and  stones he used against Goliath.

Warnock’s silly statement was an oxymoron, or more precisely, Warnock is a…. no, I’ll not say it, but then that might qualify him to be a Senate Democrat.

In August, Raphael Warnock told WGAU’s Tim Bryant that abortion is “consistent” with his philosophy as a Christian minister. Say what? Abortion has been criticized, condemned, and contemned (scorned) by Christians and Jews for millennia. Warnock’s failure is not just his lack of orthodoxy; he is outrageous and obnoxious as a religious leader.

Warnock in 2019 called for the mass release of prisoners, saying, “Somebody’s got to open up the jails and let our children go.” Yes, the “children” need to be in school or playing in the park. His radical friends in Congress want to do away with prisons and defund the police departments. Warnock referred to police officers as “gangsters” and “thugs” in 2015.

In a 2012 sermon, the Atlanta reverend attacked Christians who support the death penalty in compliance with the Bible. The preacher advocated on behalf of Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis who was convicted of murdering an off-duty Savannah police officer in 1989. Davis was executed in 2011. Warnock called Davis an “innocent man.” No, he was an indecent thug who got what he deserved. The preacher called the death penalty the “final failsafe of white supremacy” in a 2013 speech.

The candidate opposed church members carrying guns to defend innocent church members from terrorist attacks. He declared, “Guns are not allowed in the state Capitol. But they want them in our churches and in our schools. Have you lost your mind?” No, but he just lost the election to the U.S. Senate. Sane Georgians will not send a gun-grabber to Congress to disarm them.

He will support every leftist bill, pack the Senate, take your guns, add two more states (and their U.S. Senators) to the nation, and freedom will be lost forever as Socialists rule and ruin from sea to shining sea.

Warnock obviously decries what he does not understand. If he is so careless about what he is supposed to know and revere, what can we expect of him in the Senate?

CNN defended Warnock by saying the massive advertising in Georgia is an attack “upon his faith.” No, it is an attack upon the corrupt theology and politics of an unqualified, undesirable, and unfit candidate. He is an advocate for gender identity and a cheerleader for the LGBTQ crowd.

Warnock identified Jesus as, “that poor Palestinian prophet who said that the spirit of the Lord is on me.” No, Raphael, Jesus was Jewish of the tribe of Judah and He was not just a prophet. He was the Messiah and God in the flesh. If Warnock doesn’t know that, he should run, not walk, to turn in his preaching credentials.

The evidence seems to suggest that Warnock may be eminently qualified for Venezuelan pre-1999 Senate but not the U.S. Senate. It seems he also may not qualify for any pulpit.

From one Georgian to another, just say “no” to Warnock.

Whom Do You Trust: A Principled Judge or Delayed Accusers? https://donboys.cstnews.com/whom-do-you-trust-a-principled-judge-or-delayed-accusers https://donboys.cstnews.com/whom-do-you-trust-a-principled-judge-or-delayed-accusers#respond Fri, 17 Nov 2017 04:20:17 +0000 http://donboys.cstnews.com/?p=1966 I detest unfairness and hypocrisy and I have seen boatloads of both in the Judge Roy Moore issue. Without knowing all the facts, as only Moore and his accusers know, I have decided to believe a man who has had a lifetime of dedicated service to people while standing upon the rock of Truth.

It’s rather simple: either Moore is guilty or not. If he molested, not dated, but molested teen girls when he was an adult then he should recognize it as sin, repent of it, refuse to do again and do restitution–apologize to the women involved and to Americans for lying to us about it. Then he should throw himself upon the good will of Alabama voters. If he did that, I think he could still win! After all, doesn’t everyone believe in personal redemption?

No sane person believes any member of Congress could pass the test demanded of Moore. If we could somehow remove all members of Congress who were sexually inappropriate in their younger years, the two chambers of Congress would be as empty as a long-deserted old barn with “See Rock City” barely visible on its side.

“There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children,” Ivanka Trump told the AP, adding, “I’ve yet to see a valid explanation, and I have no reason to doubt the victims’ accounts.” I will remind Ivanka that there is a place in Hell for liars also. She’s “yet to see a valid explanation” for the accusations but I’ve seen no reason to believe the belated charges.

Just today, an accusation of sexual molestation was made against Senator Al Franken that allegedly happened in his pre-senate days. Will the hypocrites in Congress, to be consistent, demand he be drummed out of the senate? Don’t count on it. They will look but they won’t cut him loose.

I am shocked that even conservative senators have chosen to believe charges against Moore which cannot be proved. Don’t they know that the same kind of accusations could be made against them in the future? Do they now believe in presumptive guilt rather than presumptive innocence? We had better realize that when we accept unsupported accusations against anyone, we are stepping on a slippery slope and will slide into a bottomless pit filled with king cobras.

If Moore is innocent, and I believe he is, then he should fight valiantly for a senate seat. He should put on his armor, mount his steed, and do battle from Huntsville to Mobile. He should remind the voters that anyone can accuse anyone of anything and the charges cannot be substantiated. Moreover, this week Darrel Nelson, the stepson of the latest accuser, Beverly Young Nelson said, “the allegations are all lies.” Nelson says he supports Moore 100%!

Moore has been very controversial all his adult life and involved in many “hot” issues, yet these accusations just happened to be revealed a few weeks before his election! Come on, no honest, balanced, fair-minded person could believe that was unplanned. The charges and the timing are about as accidental and unplanned as the Rose Bowl Parade.

The only question is who sired the charges, Republicans or Democrats. By the way, I do believe in conspiracies, as anyone does who knows history.

Furthermore, let me point out the liberal hypocrisy in this matter. Many have made much of Moore dating teenagers and it was not wise. I would not have permitted my daughters to do that, but it is one thing to date a girl and another thing to molest her. So, dating teenagers is not an indictable offense. It was crass but not criminal.

Now we are told that the teens were vulnerable and he was a predator, but that has only been alleged. Moreover, two of the young women admitted that their mothers were very pleased they were dating Moore. He was considered a “catch.”

Moreover, it was common, especially in the south, for girls to date at a young age, and even marry very young. It was common to be married by 19 so they would be dating long before that age. This is true in history. According to Jewish customs, a young woman became betrothed to a young man as early as 12 years of age, although the consummation of their marriage did not happen until they were legally married in a few months or even years.

The Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible points out, “It appears that both boys and girls were married very young. Later [after the New Testament period] the rabbis fixed the minimum age for marriage at twelve for girls and thirteen for boys.”

Jewish boys were expected to marry at sixteen or seventeen. In the Roman Empire, boys wore a white toga trimmed in red as a symbol of youth; however, at 14 to 17 years of age, they threw off the red and white toga and wore the pure white toga of a Roman man.

Screaming feminists have always insisted that women don’t need protection; after all, they can do anything a man can do–you know–spit, smoke, and swear. But now we are told that the teens Moore dated were violated just by the dating! Ladies, you can’t have it both ways. You told us that females are not helpless creatures who need doors opened for them or to be treated as breakable objects. Feminists have demanded that prostitution should be legal and the age of consent should be lowered because females have a right to control their own bodies. Therefore, lower the age of sexual consent.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote (with a feminist co-author) Sex Bias in the U.S. Code in 1977, demanding the reduction of the age of consent for sexual acts to persons who are “less than 12 years old.” She also wanted laws against bigamy, prostitution, the Mann Act, women in combat, and segregated prisons be revoked. She also wanted government-funded comprehensive child care and the traditional family concept of husband as breadwinner and wife as homemaker to be eliminated. Ruthie is a real sweetheart and promoter of female equality. She was paid with federal funds to write the book. Wonder if I could get paid by the government for writing my books.

The age of consent in Canada is 16 and, in Mexico, it is 12. In the various states, it is between 16 and 18. But Ginsburg wants girls to have the right to legal sex at less than 12 years of age! Yet teen girls were in danger when dating Moore even though he, in southern tradition, asked permission of their mothers! I don’t think Moore is a danger to morality: Ginsburg is the danger.

While Moore showed a lack of wisdom in dating young girls, he has proved in his adult life to make wise, yet very difficult, principled decisions. Like all of us, he learned from his past.

If Moore wins the Senate seat, he should walk into the senate chamber like a king going to his throne. Then he should thank Alabamians for sending him there and give his philosophy of serving. He should say he will vote with Republicans when they are right and with Democrats when they are right–maybe about every blue moon. Then he should give his reasons why he will vote for or against a proposed bill–the same reasons I gave when I was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives. Each bill must meet these standards: Is it Constitutional? Is it family friendly? Do we really need this bill? Can we afford this bill? Will this bill expand government control and bigger government? I also added, “Is it biblical?” but then I’m shameless.

So most of his votes will be no, reminiscent of Senator Jesse Helms, known as Senator No.

While the Republicans and Democrats sit grinding their teeth, he should say that a southern gentleman never goes where he is not wanted and since the GOP has explicitly said they do not want him, that he will henceforth resign from the Republican Party! He will be an Independent. He won’t wait for the GOP to cast him out of their party. He will take the principled position of leaving the Grand Old Progressives to slowly decay, dwindle, decline, and die a natural death.

By his informed, balanced, and conservative record, he will show the nation what a true statesman is–since statesmen are as scarce in Washington as white dinosaurs in Kentucky.

If Moore wins the senate seat and is expelled from the senate for what he allegedly did 40 years ago, then every member of Congress will suffer many sleepless nights. What senator wants to set the precedent of being judged for his past sins? I mean, the senators may be cowardly, crass, crude, and cranky but they are not stupid. Well, all of them aren’t.

Americans will realize that we have at least one senator dedicated to truth who is as independent as a hog on ice.
