Ever actually read the Patriot Act? Perhaps you should read it and not just listen what the ACLU has to say or members of the other political party, or the mainstream media. The Patriot Acts is a good piece of legislation for the times in which we live.

Hello,

President Calls on U.S. Senate to End Filibuster of the Patriot Act

The USA PATRIOT Act: Preserving Life and Liberty

Why do we need the Patriot Act?

We anticipate a black future for America. Instead of remaining United States, it shall end up separated states and shall have to carry the bodies of its sons back to America.

Osama, Christians everywhere trust in Jesus the Son of God not in your predictions that are from another source.

Our enemy is still alive and well let's catch him. We don't want to be accused of opening a great big hole in our national security.

President Bush wants to protect us from terrorists and the mad man Osama. Let's help him do his job and support and pray for him.

Hummmm, the last time I heard him talk about Osama, he said that he wasn't that concerned with him... he has left our borders wide open and passed laws to allow spying on citizens and detention of citizens..... with friends like George, do we need many other enemies.

I pray for him alright, mostly to open his eyes to understand what he is doing to this nation.

Now it looks like he has broken laws to allow illegal unmonitored spying on citizens, proving that he can not be trusted with any unmonitored powers. He and his administration needs to be tossed out in the street on their keisters....... I'll pray for him alright...... grrrrrrrrrrr

Hello,

Update..

Radio Address by the President to the Nation December 17, 2005

And the Patriot Act allowed federal investigators to pursue terrorists with tools they already used against other criminals. Congress passed this law with a large, bipartisan majority, including a vote of 98-1 in the United States Senate.

All's legal and above board.

The question..

with friends like George, do we need many other enemies.

The only way to the enemies heart is through a secure nation. The Patriot Act fulfill this mission at home.

First of all, I don't follow only popular opinion, I respect Bush's stance on abortion, and stem cell research, but beyond that I have no respect for him. There is a part of the patriot act that really got me, if passed it would have been another salem witch hunt. If you were to say you supspected Joe Schmo for something, the authorities would have legal right to apprehend, take DNA, and even deport someone without even a trial. That agenda leaves room for a lot of mistakes. If they want to get better "terrorist protection" they need to focus on our borders, and I hate to say this, but they should use profiling. It makes no sense that my grandmother gets checked in an airport, but Mohamad goes right through unchecked. Screw being PC at this point, if it comes down to the government spying on us, or Muslims getting searched a little harder I will go with the latter. I have had Muslim friends in the past, I have no hatred whatsoever for them as a people, but when it comes to protecting our country we should be a little more specific in who we are checking out.

The patriot act would most likely fall into the wrong hands and interpretation down the road, probably at the christians expense judging from the growing hostility out there. I'm definitely against it.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

      George,

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

      Shalom everyone,

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
