Please pray for Dr. Kent Brantly and all those involved with the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Praise the LORD! Dr. Brantly was released from the hospital on 8/21/14!
According to Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Brantly did what a medical missionary would do, he praised GOD!
Yet, ABC radio, which is my news source, edited out ALL references to GOD in it news broadcasts!

“Congressman Channels His Inner Reagan; ‘The Federalization of Education is Unconstitutional’
By Matthew Burke
August 26, 2014
During the 1980 presidential election campaign in which he shellacked failed former Democrat President Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan made abolishing the federal Department of Education, created by Carter as a political favor to teachers’ unions in 1979, a major part of his platform (Unfortunately, he did not end it! It is NOT a constitutional Department and it is not the only one that is unconstitutional!—my addition).
Reagan said about the Department of Education:
‘‘I have never believed in federal control of the schools (Nor should there be!—my addition). The vast majority of parents can figure out for themselves how to educate their children and how to provide them with good values (And that is the parents parental responsibility! It is NOT the responsibility of the federal government!—my addition). And if some parents can’t do so, well, there’s most likely someone nearby who can step in. That’s what I mean by local control and by the wisdom of letting the fifty states—all those separate laboratories of democracy—chart their own courses on education. The challenge of good schooling, I firmly believe, is best addressed as close to the student as possible (‘Tis true!—my addition).’’
Unfortunately, Reagan never had the votes in both Houses of Congress to abolish the dreaded bloated bureaucracy that began the decline of education in America, once considered the very best in the world, But now, there’s a congressman who’s channeling his inner Reagan and calling for an end to one of the Democrat Party’s favorite boondoggles (As have I!—my addition).
Congressman Jim Bridenstine (Oklahoma-01) hit the issue straight-on in a statement, while the rest of Congress was vacationing last week, pointing out that education was never intended to be a federal role by our Founding Fathers, and is nowhere to be seen in the Enumerated Powers of the Constitution (Absolutely true!—my addition):
‘The federalization of education is unconstitutional,’ Bridenstine correctly asserted. ‘The Constitution grants certain enumerated powers to the federal government such as collecting taxes, maintaining a military and establishing Post Offices, but education is not mentioned (No it is not! Neither is agriculture and a few others which I will cover in a later post!—my addition).’
The Department of Education, which has become more dictatorial over states’ education policies using thuggish bribery-like tactics (Follow the money!—my addition), will spend roughly $66 billion in 2014, which represents $537 for every U.S. household. It employs 4,100 workers and operates a whopping 120 different subsidy programs (Seriously!—my addition), according to Cato Institute education experts.
Bridenstine asserted that education was, and should be again, a states’ rights issue under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution where all ‘powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people (Correct again! For all practical purposes, the Tenth Amendment has been removed from the Constitution! It needs to be put back in and FOLLOWED!—my addition).’
The only way mankind has been able to consistently improve any product or service is through free-market competition (Government by its very nature picks winner and losers not based upon free [freedom] enterprise principles! In fact, overwhelmingly, government programs are established in opposition to free [freedom] enterprise principles!—my addition), and Bridenstine makes the case that federalized education programs, like the ill-conceived, heavy-handled Common Core monopoly, is ‘quite the opposite of anything resembling a free market (Of course it is! That which is imposed from above can not be based on freedom!—my addition).’
Bridenstine also points out that increasing the budget at the federal bureaucracy has not resulted in a measurable improvement in education (Nor could it!—my addition), and he blames heavy-handed bureaucrats, not teachers, for this inconvenient truth.
No one with a straight face can argue that our education system is better than it was prior to Carter’s boondoggle.
Anyone sincerely wanting to return education to the local level is falsely accused as ‘being anti-education’ by the controlist teacher unions and others who benefit from Carter’s boondoggle.
‘Abolishing the U.S. Department of Education would return power to the states where it belongs,’ Bridenstine continued. ‘I am not an advocate for eliminating public education (Nor would that be a power of the federal government! Education belongs at the State level and below depending upon how each State determines to do education within that State!—my addition); I am an advocate for eliminating a top-heavy, inefficient Washington-based bureaucracy that is burdening the taxpayer (And is NOT a constitutional power of the federal government! Me too as I have said in previous posts! And mind you, I am a former public school teacher and a former public school board of education member!—my addition).’
‘It’s time to eliminate the Department of Education (It is past time!—my addition),’ he concluded.
Please share this article on Facebook and Twitter if you believe Carter’s Boondoggle, the federal Department of Education, should be abolished.
Done!
If not now, when?
If not now, why?
If not us, who?

The Obama Administration: How NOT to govern a nation!
CLOSE THE BORDER! NO REFUGEE STATUS!
NO AMNESTY! DEPORT THEM ALL!
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
Impeachment IS the answer!
Galatians 6: 7-9 (NIV)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! In the end, VICTORY belongs to GOD and HIS people! HIS people are, by definition, CHRISTIANS! Followers of JESUS, the CHRIST!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
