Ensuring Separation of Chuch and State

This blog kind of goes hand-in-hand with my previous blog, "Divide & Conquer". Religion is another division the media and politicians use to get elected.

However, under the Bill of Rights we Americans are guaranteed Freedom of Religion, and in the U.S. Constitution, the separation of church and state are protected, yet today are not enforced.

Take Barack Obama for instance. This is taken from Obama's Election site

"Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian"


Why does this matter to American voters? Personally, I don't want a man or woman, with ANY religious endorsement elected into any political office. Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Buddhist, Muslim and other religious leaders ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO RUN GOVERNMENT. These leaders are only qualified to run their respective congregations. Religious leaders should guard their right to practice religion. Most importantly, these leaders should clearly draw lines between religious and government powers to their followers.

Politicians actively seeking a religious endorsement should be publicly humiliated and removed from office. Once politicians begin leading the United States under ONE religious endorsement or another, our freedom of religion will disappear.

Bottom line: Religious groups are not equipped to run government. However, powerful religions ARE running/buying politicians to rule America. This is unconstitutional and a severe infringement to our American liberty to freely practice any religion we chose. When the religious standing of our political leaders is important to voters, it is fair to say we have lost our Freedom of Religion.

Already, America has begun persecuting "radical" Muslims and Mormons, because of their belief in plural marriage. What does it matter, as long as no one is being hurt. Radical Muslims are doing nothing but fighting for the sovereignty of their countries! They don't want Western Ideals in their Islamic countries. Polygamist Mormons are merely prosecuted because of their success--IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY TO SUPPORT 3 WIVES AND 10 KIDS.

More on this later...gotta go to work.

HR 2755

After all the bailouts, we Americans are indebted to over $8 trillion now. This means the Federal Reserve has increased the supply by 75 percent. This money does not come from some rainy day fund tucked away in the budget somewhere – it is created from thin air, and devalues every dollar in circulation. Dumping money on an economy, as they have been doing, is not the same as dumping wealth. In fact, it has quite the opposite effect.

One key attribute that gives money value is scarcity. If something that is used as money becomes too plentiful, it loses value. That is how inflation and hyperinflation happens. Giving a central bank (Federal Reserve) the power to create fiat money out of thin air creates the tremendous risk of eventual hyperinflation.

People talk about toxic assets, but the real toxicity in our economy comes from the Federal Reserve System. Today’s bankers are poisoning the economy with accelerated fiat money creation. Fiat money is not based on gold, instead, the government (Federal Reserve) orders that the money must be accepted for payment--translation: all of our dollars equal NOTHING...it cannot be guaranteed by gold.

Throughout the ages, gold has stood the test of time as a consistently reliable means of exchange, and has frequently been referred to as “God’s money”, as only God can make more of it. Free people today should be sending the message to the Federal Reserve that this power and control over our money is no longer acceptable.

Our fiat currency system is crumbling and coming to an end, as all fiat currencies eventually do.

Congress should reject the central bank as a failure for its manipulations of money that have brought our economy to its knees. I hope the 111th Congress will support HR 2755 and abolish the Federal Reserve System so that the central bank can no longer destroy our money.
