If I were the Devil - Paul Harvey (Warning for America) - Sermon Videos
The prophetic words of Paul Harvey from 1965
If I were the prince of darkness I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness and I would have a third of its realestate and 4/5ths. of its population but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree—Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first—I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to pray after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’
And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors on how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches that war that themselves, and nations that war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography—soon I could evict God from the courthouse, and then the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the devil I’d take from those, and who have, and give to those wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work, and Patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were to devil I’d keep on doing just what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good day.”

Measure E, Tax, Salinas
Tax Measure
Is it possible the city has been spending more then it takes in? Is it possible there has been
Irresponsible use of taxpayer money? There are businesses that have closed their doors permanently, there are those that have moved completely out of this insanely run state to such areas as Oregon and Texas to take up residence in a more favorable business (friendly) environment. The fisca...l condition here is catamount to a 2nd. Term under BO. Jobs are leaving by the thousands. For those that are left doesn’t it make sense to make the area inviting to them? To provide them a one-up on other cities that are plying for them to set up shop? The problem here, in my opinion, is spending. We have always had Mayors and City Councils crying the blues and trying to beguile the public into siding with them to bring on a new tax or in this case to make an existing tax go on into perpetuity and place its removal on the backs of the voters just as it is on the backs of the voters to bear it.
There is no understanding how there could be even 50 people who are that excited about paying over more of their money in taxes. Apparently for these people there is no tax they do not love, they are either very well off, doing well in their chosen field and somehow still have throw away money or personally have something to gain from such perpetuity or are politically and economically ignorant.
There is just no understanding, in the light of the cold, hard facts of reality why the Chamber of Commerce would back such a measure. Could it be out of fear that if Obama is re-elected that by 2016 the economy of this country could be so incredibly devastated that a vote to extend this tax measure, in its present form, would be foolishness? Why else be pushing this now, as opposed to its sunset date, if not out of fear? We all are aware of the 6 trillion in added debt Obama has placed on us, more then all Presidents put together since George Washington, and he did this in less then 4 years; can you imagine where we will be in another 4 years when our current indebtedness has already reached our GNP? Talk about Greece? We’ll be Greece many times over under this Marxist who has already stolen our children’s inheritance, their heritage for a happy and successful future. Yes, they know it’s now or possibly never, to hell with the electorate as long as the city continues to get theirs.
I remember, not that long ago when a certain lady mayor under similar and I believe perpetuating circumstances was trying to humiliate the public into voting for a tax measure for the libraries, then the police, then the fire department and so on it went and to enhance her methodology on an unsuspecting public she went around with a coffee can to her meetings, as though for handouts for the General Fund, hey, her chicanery actually worked, she was an adapt performer, so much so she has been able to continue to hoodwink the still unsuspecting public to not only propelling her into a state office but to keep her there in spite of her lack of credible credentials to be there.
“Honestly, given all the good this sales tax does for our community, I am a little surprised that anyone would be opposed to it. That said, we have to educate and remind people about it.” REALLY, a great segue from reality to great expectations, all balanced on the backs of an increasingly financially exhausted electorate.
Has anybody ever thought of a reduction instead of an increase and that it might actually go further? We can not bear any further tax burden, we can not sustain what we have. I know one mayoral candidate brought up adding 10 police a year until we reached a hundred more then we currently have, well that sounds great until you start adding up the added costs, the vehicles, computers, uniforms, training, incredible benefits packages all pushed under the guise of public safety. Well tell me, how many of you can easily sustain what the cost of living is doing to you and your families now? Do you actually want to permanently add the financial screws to your families life and happiness and doing without or have, hopefully just enough to get by, forget the little extras, so the city can continue to grow, have great salaries and benefits packages and enjoy their life financially? Well if the answer is to say yes to the continuing, endless stream of tax measures that flood over us every election period then go ahead and vote YES on this Measure. If you want to see those currently and those to be soon in office begin to use some commonsense, utilize good judgment, show wisdom in their actions with understanding then you need to vote NO.,, Gordon Avery, Sept. 28, 2012

The Way It Once Was and The Way It Is Now
In the news today the libs. are saying desks and seats for school children must be made bigger in order to accommodate their increased girth. They are also dictating what children should eat and actually have taxpayer funded people who go around and inspect lunches mother’s make for their children, as recently heard in the news.
The problem is today kids lead a very sedentary life, the only thing that gets any exercise is their mouth and thumbs. Parents today are to dull-witted when it comes to being able to tell their children to go outside and play and to make matters worse children no longer know how to play. Back in the 50’s and 60’s kids were always active.
I remember when I was going to high school back in Portsmouth, N. H., I would have to walk approximately three miles whether in sunshine or sleet and snow. There were times I would get to school and be so cold I would have to stand next to the heater in the classroom to thaw out enough to bend my knees to sit down, now that may be a exaggeration but not by much.
Weekends were filled with chores and going out to try making money mowing lawns,
I also worked six days a week doing a paper route whether I felt fine or sick with the flu..
When it snowed I had the driveway and the whole front of the house to shovel out, only to have the joy of doing it all over again once the snowplow came through.
I fit playing ball and other kids games and activities in after my responsibilities were completed.
I ate everything placed in front of me, Mom’s homemade pies, doughnuts, cakes and man oh man those big Saturday morning breakfasts of bacon, eggs, pancakes and syrup or french toast, I can still see her cooking in the kitchen and smell the cooking. Kids then didn’t put on weight. Today kids sit and eat, they exercise their thumbs on their stupid electronic games instead of their body’s by going outside and having fun. I have seen that to ask a kid today to go outside and play they just kind of look at you with a puzzled look on their face, playing tag, touch football, hide and go seek, or girls playing hopscotch, or playing with their doll houses, or kids playing marbles or games with football cards are as foreign to them as, well, finding a toy cap gun in the department store. In school their learning capacity has dramatically fallen, kids today are actually dull witted compared to the day of their grandparents, and this worsening trend is growing exponentially till someday, and I fear not all that long away, the proud, intelligent, hardworking people and country we once were will be only a figment of the then current generations imagination as they go through their dumbfounded, dull-witted lives, living under dictatorial rule, with no ambition or desire to fight back. It scares me to think how far this country has fallen and it is only hanging on as though from a precipice.. Gordon Avery, Feb. 18, 2012

WHY OBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED IN 2012
We can’t let this become a reality.
IN GOD I TRUST
WHY OBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED IN 2012
Dr. Williams' prediction: Maybe you have
read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative
economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities
and is currently teaching at George Mason University .
No Matter What
By Dr. Walter Williams
Can President Obama be defeated in 2012?
No. He can't.. I am going on record as saying that President Barak
Obama will win a second term.
The media won't tell you this because a
good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case
billions) of dollars to them in advertising.
But the truth is, there simply are no
conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.
The quality of the Republican candidate
doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected.
Nine percent unemployment? No problem.
Obama will win.
Gas prices moving toward five dollars a
gallon? He still wins.
The economy soars or goes into the gutter.
Obama wins.
War in the Middle East ? He wins a second
term.
America's role as the leading Superpower
disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama!
The U.S. government rushes toward
bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price
of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's
extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.
You are crazy Williams. Don't you
understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic,
government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do.
And that's why I know Obama will win. The
American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is
the key to why Obama should be defeated.
Even when Obama's policies lead the nation
to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe
the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will
use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much
worse than understood when he took office.
Obama's reelection is really a very, very
simple math problem. Consider the following:
1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly.
Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of
us,
2) College educated women will vote for
Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory.
It's really not more complex than that,
3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is
their great hope,
4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is
the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory
nationwide,
5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is
the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders
recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,
6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly
for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and
local politics,
7) Big Business will support Obama. They
already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse
gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining
more every day. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access
to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political
agenda,
8) The media love him. They may attack
the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love
him would be racist,
9) Most other minorities and special
interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of
Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican.
American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote
Democratic. And lastly,
10) Approximately half of independents will
vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because
he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win
an overwhelming victory in 2012.
-- Dr. Walter Williams, Jan. 2012
IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE
MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE GROUP: THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO "SHAKE THE BOAT" TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVES
It's believed the United States is now
somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of democracy,
with some forty percent of the nation's population already having
reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship
to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote -
then we can say goodbye to the USA.
