Suck it Up: An Open Letter to Congressman Louie Gohmert

 Dear Congressman Gohmert,

Thank you for taking the time to read this correspondence.  We've met previously.  I'm the guy with long blonde hair who made the incautious double entendre about Janet Napoletano last summer at Restoring Love.

I'm writing because John Cornyn just voted to fund Obamacare; you need to suck it up and run against him.

I know you don't want to do this; unfortunately, I also know that you are the strongest candidate we could run against Cornyn.

Freedomworks loves you, so fundraising won't be a problem.  You have more name recognition than Ted Cruz at this point in 2011.  Glenn Beck has already spoken favorably of your candidacy:

In 1975, at a similar ebb of American history, Ronald Reagan said:

As stated above, Congressman Gohmert, I know you don't want to run.  Guess what?!?  George Washington didn't want to run either.

Congressman Gohmert, with all due respect, suck it up and go to Ninevah before America ends up in the belly of the fish.

Sincerely,
Adam Cahn
Austin, TX

Could Pat Gray successfully challenge John Cornyn?!?

On tonight's television broadcast, Glenn Beck vowed to find a primary challenger to John Cornyn; this gives us an idea:

How about Pat?!?

One thing Glenn Beck will discover, if he's serious about finding a challenger to Cornyn, is that none of the obvious candidates wants to run:

• We asked Louie Gohmert last summer (at Restoring Love): he said no.

• We asked Rafael Cruz in April: he said he was too old.

• We asked Wayne Christian in June: he's running for the railroad commission.

• We asked Katrina Pierson in July: she's running against Pete Sessions, which is a good thing because she's got at least a 50/50 chance to win.

• We haven't personally spoken to Ron Paul, but a source who shall remain anonymous told us he wasn't interested in this race the same day we posted the blog linked above.

 All of the folk listed above have been asked, all have said no.

Which brings us back to Pat.

Pat would enter this race with instant credibility.  Freedomworks already sponsors the radio show and, knowing Freedomworks as we do, we strongly suspect they'd endorse him.  There's your fundraising.

If Glenn Beck is serious about finding a challenger to John Cornyn, he can do a lot worse than the guy sitting next to him during the radio show.

Matt Maher: Hold Us Together

I haven't forgotten you dear readers, just been busy (posting could will be light this week). I'll be back on Tuesday evening with a neutron bomb, and I might have a second on Wednesday, but in the meantime here's Matt Maher:



Update: When I posted this, it was the day after Pastor Danny's post-election sermon on tithing; with help from God, I got thru the next month.

2 Chronicles 7:14 and Hurricane Sandy

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will hear their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:17 

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose."  Romans 8:28 

I was  going to write a political piece about the chaos in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and New Jersey, but the political problems are obvious; I want to say something else.

The solution is humility, not defiant pride.

New York is great at defiant pride.  New York was defiantly proud after 9/11.  New York continues to be defiantly proud.  How's that working out?!?  The economy still sucks, people are eating out of dumpsters, and the Yankees have only won the World Series once since 9/11.

No government activity or politician will solve this; not even Rudy.  The only way out of this is through our churches.  In humility there is hope, but defiant pride will continue to bear bitter fruit, and it will get worse.

That being said, pray for Michael Bloomberg.  We're stuck with him for another year.  As much as I agree with Glenn Beck's sentiment, potty mouthed tirades won't help.  Michael Bloomberg needs a radical change of heart, and there's only one way that will happen.  What's the alternative?!?

One final note: if you play fantasy football, I have a funny feeling that this could be a really good week to start Tim Tebow....

Matt Maher: "Hold Us Together" from Restoring Love

If you weren't there live, here's the final number:

Under God: Indivisible

Yesterday, as part of Restoring Love weekend, I went to the Dallas Under God: Indivisible event.  I wanted to post the videos from the event, but they're not yet online (GBTV has the full event, for subscribers, here).  In the meantime, however, I want to share the biggest message message I took from the event.

Conservatives need to pray, and Christians need to vote; it's really that simple.

The most quoted line of scripture last night was 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will hear their land. (KJV)."  If you believe the government is out of control, and it is, then step on is to turn to God.  If we can get back on His side, then He will take care of the rest; I'm more convinced of that than I've EVER been.

After we pray, then we need to register, then we need to vote.  The voting statistics for Biblically observant Christians are pathetic.  One-third of Christians aren't registered to vote, and another third don't bother to show up at the polls.  That translates to 15 to 20 million people.  It's worth noting that the Left is already mocking these efforts, so it must terrify them.

As Glenn Beck said last night: "If these men [meaning America's Pastors, Priests, and Rabbis] come forward with the sword of righteousness, the world's leaders will pee their pants."  Amen to that.

FreePAC: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)

"You might be an economic illiterate if you think roads cause business success and not the other way around":


Highlights:

• Obamacare isn't about Health Care, it's about limited government of any sort.
• The General Welfare clause was meant to be limited, otherwise why enumerate?!?
• The Feds sent $600 Million to dead people over the last decade

FreePAC: Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)

Awesome speech from Sen. Lee:

Highlights:

• Had the Boston Tea Party been a one off event, it'd be forgotten.
• From the Boston Tea Party (1773) to Constitutional ratification (1788) took 15 years.
• "What's coming up this fall and in future cycles is going to make 2010 look like a Sunday picnic."

FreePAC: The Five Steps to Repeal Obamacare

Last night, Dean Clancy, spoke; for some reason, I can't find any video, but he spoke about the 5 steps to repeal Obama's Health Insurance Protection Racket.

• Stop the Exchanges in Your State --  The exchanges created in the law have to be established at the state level and they can be stopped there; we've taken care of that in Texas. 

• Stop the Medicaid Exansion in Your State -- Again, we've taken care of that in Texas 

• Hold the House

• Win the Senate

• Win the White House 

It's really that simple.

FreePAC: Glenn Beck's Hyperactive, Goober-tastic, Keynote Address

Glenn Beck in fine form:

FreePAC: Dana Loesch

Dana Loesch kicks the corrupt media's ass:

Highlights:

• Today's headlines are tomorrow's history.
• "We are the counterculture movement."
• We'll police the government AND we'll police the media.
• We don't need the press.
• "We'll report on us until we force you to as well."

For the record, I also love those pink heels, and I'm not ashamed to say so!!!

FreePAC: C.L Bryant

Wow, just wow:


Here's the preview for Runaway Slave:

FreePAC: John Fund on Voter Fraud

Last night, I heard John Fund speak at FreePAC
 A few highlights:

- Not only is voter fraud a problem, but our elections systems are sloppy as well.

- In 2008, Al Franken won (and became the 60th vote for Obama's Health Insurance Protection Racket) by 312 votes; 1200 Felons voted in that election.
