On Religious Liberty in Texas

“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Matthew 22:21

Cahnman's Musings wasn't planning to comment on yesterday's Supreme Court rulings related to homosexual 'marriage.'  Spiritual deception runs deep on this topic and it's easy for words to be twisted.  We can get in enough trouble warning about the perils of opposite sex promiscuity.

Then the Governor called another special session.

During the general session, there was talk of amending the Texas constitution to protect Religious freedom.  The bill died in committee.  Now is a good time to bring it back.

Homosexual 'marriage' has nothing to do with freedom or love.  Homosexual 'marriage' is the camel's nose under the tent of government censorship of Churches.  Once homosexual 'marriage' receives legal protection, it gives activist groups a new weapon to bludgeon Churches.  That's what happened in Canada and Denmark.  Something similar has already begun in New Mexico.

Yesterday, the organized homosexual movement spoke openly about where they intend to take Texas:

“The first stop is to pass a statewide fair employment act, and then to move on freedom to marry. More than 90% of businesses already have policies protecting LGBT workers, but Texas’ increasing reputation as a hostile place for certain groups is a threat to economic development.” As for marriage, “It would take 100 votes in the House to repeal the constitutional ban, and 75 to repeal Texas’ statutory marriage ban, both of which must go for marriage equality to be possible in Texas. We need the votes. It will take time and lots of work, but we’ll get there."

We already have a special session called.  We already have the votes.  While we're discussing issues related to God's word vs. the folly of man, we ought to bring back the religious liberty amendment.

Rumors of War

"Therefore suddenly shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue...." Proverbs 6:15-17

"As the welfare state collapses, we see the emergence of brute conflict between those who desire order and those who don't." The Invisible Committee, the Coming Insurrection, p. 6

Today, the European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize.  This is bad.  This is an arrogant, prideful move that future historians will mock.

It's not a secret that Europe has been on fire for two years.  Greece is a mess.  Spain is almost as bad.  France is teetering.  Great Britain is crippled by political correctness.  The only thing (barely) holding the situation together is the grace of German taxpayers.  That won't last forever.

Against this backdrop, the European elite chose to hold a self-congratulatory circle jerk award itself the Nobel Peace Prize.

You can't make that up.

This is the type of arrogance you see before major wars.  Suicides are skyrocketing, people are eating trash, yet the leaders are throwing themselves a big party.  Comparisons to Emperor Nero are apt.

The situation in the Middle East gets attention, but Europe is almost as bad.  Nazis are rising in Greece.  The President of France is a Marxist.  When the European house of cards finally collapses, the situation will be dire.  Pray for leadership with discernment.

War is coming; whether we like it or not.

1400 years of Islamic Conquest: William J. Federer

This past Saturday, I saw the presentation Islamic Conquest: Past and Present; in no particular order, these are my takeaways:

• Moderate Muslims aren't a threat.  While all Muslims believe the world must ultimately submit to Islam, they disagree over the timing.  Radical Muslims believe that time is coming soon and that they must usher it in; moderate Muslims believe the time the world must submit to Islam is far enough in the future that they can peacefully coexist with the infidels.

• The purpose of Christianity is to give people as many chances as necessary to repent; Muslims send people to hell.

• Mohammed couldn't read; he had the Christian gospels told to him through heretical sources.  As a result, Muslims believe the Christian trinity is God the father, Jesus, and Mary.  Muslims have no conception of the Holy Spirit.

• Medina was originally a Jewish city before Mohammed conquered it.

• There are two sets of verses in the Koran.  The early verses, from the Meccan period, are (relatively) peaceful; the later verses, from the Medinan period, are violent.  Much like the Old Testament and the New Testament, the later verses supersede the earlier.

• You can't split the Religious part of Islam from the Political and Military.

• Islam is financed by slavery and plunder, not wealth creation.

• Mohammed's conquering strategy -- Immigrate, Increase, Eliminate.  This means that they come to a new land, establish enclaves where local laws don't apply, stay on the down low while they build up their strength, then eventually take over violently.  In the United States, we're currently in the increase phase.

• Most Muslims don't know the Koran or their own history.

• #1 crime in Scandinavia is Muslim men raping European Women.

• Radical Marxists and Radical Muslims both want to eliminate the Judeo-Christian foundation of Western Civilization.

• Islam is not a redemptive religion; you have to earn salvation through works.

• The only way to guarantee salvation in Islam is martyrdom.

• A large percentage of Sharia concerns how you treat people outside the faith.

• The Islamic conception of Jesus is the Christian anti-Christ.

• Islam spread from eastern Afghanistan to Spain within 100 years of Mohammed's death.

• It took 700 years to drive the Muslims from Spain.

• Islam is a 'religion of peace' in that there will be peace AFTER the world submits to Allah; thus, when George W. Bush repeatedly said Islam is a religion of peace, Muslims interpreted it to mean the U.S. President was saying the world will submit to Islam.

• Jesus never lied; Mohammed specifically advocated lying to advance Islam.

• Jesus never forced anyone to follow him; Mohammed did.

• Jesus forgave insults; Mohammad didn't.

• Muslim Brotherhood strategy -- Like Mohammad's strategy listed above, their strategy is to peacefully assemble a presence, bide their time and weaken us from within, then ultimately attack.

• Mufti of Jerusalem, 1930's -- Told Hitler "I don't want the Jews, kill them."

• Muslims are taking over Latin American drug cartels; Hugo Chavez is teaching Jihadists Spanish.

• If someone says Sharia is compatible with the United States' Constitution they're either: Ignorant, Afraid, Profiteering, or Lying.

• Dearbornistan -- "We will use the freedoms of the U.S. Constitution to destroy the constitution."

• Islamic Subversion is a Women's issue.  Women are treated like property in Islamic Culture.  Thus, if you believe in a society where men and women are treated equally, you cannot support or appease Islamic subversion.

• Sex Depravation Syndrome -- In their culture, you can't marry until you have enough money for a wife, so the sexual motivation of 'martyrdom' is REALLY powerful.

• Christian women witnessing to Muslim women is the best way to rescue people from Islam.

• Love the individual Muslim, stop the agenda.

Mediterranean Update Tuesday: Greece, Spain, and Internal Islamic Subversion

Mediterranean Update Tuesday kicks off this week with the IMF suspending its Greek bailout.  Spain is also looking worse.  The Chaos about which we speculated in February might be rearing its ugly head.

Cahnman's Musings will continue to monitor the economic clusterfornication in Southern Europe.  In the meantime, I want to comment on a domestic controversy that will impact U.S. policy in the region.

On June 13, five conservative members of Congress sent letters to the Inspectors General of five federal departments.  The letters, based on credible reports of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. government during the Bush (2nd term) and Obama administrations, inquired about the efforts the government was making to get to the bottom of the controversy.

The letters were met with silence until last week, when John McCain threw a hissy fit on the floor of the United States Senate over one aspect of the controversy.  In so doing, Sen McCain called the questions "nonspecific and unsubstantiated," a claim directly contradicted by the text of the original letter.  Shortly after Sen. McCain's hissy fit, House Speaker John Bohener followed suit.

(Author's note: You can see the original letters here; this 16-page letter from Congresswoman Bachmann alone outlines the controversy)


This controversy offers a unique opportunity to set the historical record straight about communist subversion in the 1940's and 50's.  In the 1940's and 50's, the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were infested with Soviet agents; Alger Hiss being the most prominent.  Strong circumstantial evidence suggests something similar with the Muslim Brotherhood today.  We need to get to the bottom of this controversy.  No hissy fit from John McCain or John Bohener will stop us.

We voted for Michelle Bachmann in the Presidential Primary and we re-affirm our vote today.  We stand unapologetically and unconditionally with the five conservative Congressmen calling for these investigations.  We urge our readers to contact their Congressmen and support the five conservatives.

Contact Speaker John Bohener here.

Contact John McCain here.

Contact your own Congressman here.

In the past few days, we've seen significant developments in the Mediterranean Zone of Chaos.  It's a giant cluster-you-know-what, but in the past week we've seen:
