Common Core, A Threat to Family & Country


Common Core State Standards a Threat to Personal Liberty — Thomas More Law Center Develops Opt-Out Form for Parents

“This school reform effort is nothing short of a revolution in how education is provided, relying on a technocratic, top-down approach to setting national standards that, despite claims to the contrary, will drive curricula, teaching texts, and the content of standardized tests.  At its heart, the Common Core is a woefully inadequate set of standards in that it limits the understanding of education to a utilitarian ‘readiness for work’ mentality.” -Cardinal Newman Society

ARE WE BECOMING  A SOCIETY THAT NEVER TAKES A STAND UNLESS IT'S GOVERNMENT APPROVED?

How's the Common Core treating you, do you see it's positive impact in the lives of your family and community?

Let me let you in on a not so secret, secret...

Common Core is not about what your children know and how they learn, but instead what they can contribute to the global economy.
THE STUDENT IS NO LONGER FOCUSED ON INTELLECTUAL ENDEAVOR

Forget Classical Education - they have done away with it (because it actually creates thinking, logical,intelligent individuals- who can not be controlled. For Example: The Founding Fathers of this country!)
The goal is to run education into training, so your child can be a cog in a wheel.
No competition, because he is being trained for the state and the corporations, NOT for his own upward mobility.


"Our Founding Fathers recognized the dangers to our freedoms posed by centralized control over public education." -CNS

COMMON CORE CONDITIONING

  • Corporate school to work agenda, about global corporate profits - not education
  • Our children are nothing more than human resources and guinea pigs - being trained like Pavlov's animals
  • The first page in the Global Education textbook is to subvert the authority of the parents. Who do you want in charge of your kids, YOU or the State?


"Department of education is a Marxist factory, designed to destroy any semblance of good values, academics, etc - to make sure our children march blindly into a socialist communist world government that's the goal of the US department of education." Quote from Charlotte Thomson Iserbyrtserved as the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education (whistle blower)

THERE HAS BEEN A DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA. Do you see it?
Over the last few decades, through Federal Grant Programs we have seen;

VALUES CLARIFICATION PROGRAMS: Designed for the government to teach our children morality, values and belief systems. 

BETTER EDUCATIONS SKILLS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY: Programs where we really discovered how the computer is fantastic for changing values.

If you substitute workforce training for education its the end of civilization...
end of the human being as entity opposed to animal
end of soul
end of conscience
= DEATH OF FREEWILL


‘The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will become the philosophy of the government in the next.’ Clearly, Common Core is a threat to individual privacy and liberty, and to our Constitutional Republic.” -CNS

WE MUST REJECT REGIONALISM, A GLOBAL SOCIALIST SYSTEM IS NOTHING BUT A TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM!


LESS 1984 MORE 1776

What can WE do? 
Take a stand, speak out, sign a petition, start a petition, opt-out!

American Dream

"Because he was free to dream, scheme and tinker, 
Joe had a chance to make something of himself and his idea..."

This (creepily prophetic) cartoon from 1948 is cool and nostalgic fun, then gets real terrifying around 7 minutes in or so...

#AmericanDream #freedom #Less1984More1776 #BillOfRights #patriot #capitalism

Hey, remember America?

Wake up John Q. Public!

We bought what Dr. Utopia  was selling, government control = safety and security?! Wrong.
Ism Inc. owns us.

"Everything is fine... everything is fine... everything is fine"

What do you believe?

Dearest Reader,

Life is hard and the only certainty is death.
Doesn't necessarily sound like good news,
but let me assure you -
it's an amazing thing.
That YOU are here NOW - ExTrAoRdInArY -  
That you even exist, is the result of an amazing set of circumstances - MiRaCuLouS really!
Made of all those who came before you...stardust and light.
You are a part of a tale, that told even by Tolkein or Speilberg would be hard to swallow. 
There is a story written in the heavens and YOU have a place in it all.
Before time, God had you in mind.

A lot of us humans have a big grudge against God, if he's so great, why are things so messed up? Here's a secret, it's not His fault - all the good stuff, that's God. The bad stuff? Well, that's another story...

There is no good death.
In the beginning in the garden, God planned death for no one.
We live in a Creation gone awry.
The one who wrote our code did not intend for the virus that kills us to exist....
God has not 'taken' anyone from us - He gave us life.

We live during an unprecedented era in all of recorded human history.
Unlocking the genome, understanding DNA, AI, space exploration, the world wide web...
For 6000+years humans traveled at the same speed, in the last 100 years we have seen the speed at which we can move (physically through space, but also sending information and thoughts) increase EXpOnEnTiAllY!!!

Why are you here now, in this age of wonder? Look around you, see this place with new eyes.
You are no accident, descended from a series of randomness - you have a great destiny and are here to change the world.

Join with me my friend,to no man is promised tomorrow and we have much work to do!

Love always,
Jennifer


What do you believe?


Everybody needs something as proof;
something in hand;to know the truth;everybody needs something to see;something to feel;and something to be, yeah


There's a way that seems right; 
in the heart of a man; and many angels of light; 
in disguise destroyin' man;
 so most choose to refuse; the absolute truth; replace it with lies; use ignorance as excuse; it's hard to conceive; what the mind can't comprehend; and harder to believe; what the eyes can't understand; we look to theory, philosophies and thought; for a sure foundation; in a belief we once sought; 
while the shadow of truth; cast an image so clear; the closer it gets; we reject it out of fear; 
if we really wanted truth; we would give our lives for it; walk in its direction of light; 
for God's glory; the saga continues; ‘cause most hearts are deceived; 
if we really wanted truth; we would live and believe; 
so the saga continues; ‘cause most hearts are deceived; 
if we really wanted truth; we would live and believe in it.

From #Kiev to #Ferguson: Stable Words in an Unstable World

From Kiev to Ferguson: Stable Words in an Unstable World



"At the square in Kiev there is a section dedicated to the “Heavenly Hundred” memorializing the dead but with pointers to heaven. These died so that others may live. It is a reflection of a greater truth. Gospel truths sneak upon us in strange ways. It seems as though death is the loudest voice calling for life." -RZ

Where is the voice of Dr. King? #Ferguson



Despite having Constitutional rights blocked, basic civil rights denied and facing arrest or lynching - Dr. King led the people to non-violent action, civil disobedience.  
Police brutality, fire hoses and dogs employed on a regular basis Dr. King never shouted "burn it down, burn it down", instead he instructed us to use our freedoms!  
Freedom of ASSEMBLY
Freedom of SPEECH
Freedom of PRESS
THE GREATNESS OF AMERICA IS THE RIGHT 
TO PROTEST FOR RIGHTS.

WE MUST USE OUR FREEDOMS:
Not to sit idly by as our Country runs itself in to ruin.
Not to loot, burn and vandalize our own communities when outrage takes hold.
Not to continue to be complacent, but instead to stand vigilant.



Where are the voices of men like King today, 
speaking for  common good? 
It's time to speak out America. 

We watch as civil unrest, 
joblessness and hopelessness descend on the masses. 
We watch as our children are terrorized in their own schools. 
We watch as our local police becomes militarized.
We watch as government grows more corrupt, simultaneously useless and yet increasingly powerful.

WE MUST USE OUR FREEDOMS.

The Offence of the Cross - Dr. Billy Graham (1958)



1 Corinthians 1:22-25Amplified Bible (AMP)

22 For while Jews [demandingly] ask for signs and miracles and Greeks pursue philosophyand wisdom,
23 We preach Christ (the Messiah) crucified, [preaching which] to the Jews is a scandaland an offensive stumbling block [that springs a snare or trap], and to the Gentiles it is absurd and utterly unphilosophical nonsense.
24 But to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile), Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God.
25 [This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men.

#FREESPEECHMATTERS


The left, the right, the middle, atheist, agnostic, anarchist--- its not supposed to matter if you agree or disagree! You are blessed to live in America and are free because some really brave folks got together and had a Revolution based on their belief they were endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights - among them the right to worship God as you want and run your mouth as you damn well please!!! (Remember sticks and stones & all that jazz?!)
Being politically correct is Anti American in every way shape or form.

If we don't understand our freedoms and defend them- they will be taken away from us.
Look at whats happening around you folks - really look.
When your government has taken on the majority of characteristics as the Ministry of Truth, and the general public sounds like their using Newspeak, we may need to start paying attention. #Less1984More1776

Jefferson called for a Revolution with each generation, we're long overdue.
Being politically correct is Anti American in every way shape or form.
Who we are is offensive. We are Cowboys, Rebels, Independent Thinkers!
#Freedomisoffensive and it should be.
The most offensive thing this world has ever seen was an innocent man, beaten-humiliated and strung on a cross 2000 years ago - they're still talking about it. #Hediedtomakeyoufree

Remember who you are America. But most of all I implore you, do not perish for a lack of knowledge.

With my apologies

I have never struggled with saying 'I'm sorry', I do however have a real difficult time admitting I'm wrong. Stubborn, willful, stiff necked - yup that's me. On this eve of Yom Kippur  it's time for me to reflect on that negative personality trait, and do my best to fix it. I have some work to do, but God knows I am getting better all the time. I am grateful for His grace and mercy in my life.

"The Talmud, an ancient collection of Jewish law and stories, claims that God created repentance before creating the universe. Whether one believes in God or not, it's a compelling concept, one that emphasizes how we are fated to misstep, but that we also have the capacity to undo some or all of the harm we cause." - Elissa Strauss

I was recently asked why I observe the "Jewish" holidays. I was not born a Jew and it has caused moderate discomfort to family and friends at times over the last 5 or so years that I no longer participate in traditional Christian observances like Christmas.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the prophesied Jewish Messiah, for many years I did not. Spending my early twenties as a soft boiled atheist I was however, always seeking, looking for answers. As an avid student of history, I compared the world's mythologies discovering there were some common themes. For many years I lumped Jesus of Nazareth in with all the other 'wise teachers' of the ages. This was until I read the scriptures with different eyes - examining them in the context in which they were written. My personal discovery was that this itinerant poor preacher from the Galilee, was different. The whole book, from beginning to end, was unique in the world. The God of the Hebrews stands out among all the other gods, this 'myth' is not like the rest.
Coming to understand the significance of the seasons and cycles, commandments and times of the Lord has added richness, depth and substance to my faith. Making the leap of faith was a difficult one for me, understanding the Hebrew roots of Christianity helped to provide me with a foundation of evidence from which to make that leap. This knowledge is not reserved for the Jews, these are the feasts of the LORD, Jesus came for everybody. Hallelujah and AMEN!

I recommend:
ARTICLE Why even non-Jews should celebrate Yom Kippur
Elissa Strauss writes:
"The act of teshuvah discourages such thinking, pulling us away from the idea that misunderstandings and indiscretions can be so easily resolved. Here is how you do it:
1. Be regretful: This involves thinking hard about what you did wrong, and what kind of harm was experienced as a result.
2. Stop the offending behavior: You can't sincerely apologize for something you are still doing.
3. Confess to the sin and ask for forgiveness. Jewish law prescribes that this be done verbally, and that we remain humble and contrite in our request.
4. Commit to never repeating it. This one is tough."

#Resurrection


Revelation 17-18 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; 
but he laid his right hand on me and said, 
“Don’t be afraid! I am the First and Last, the Living One who died, who is now alive forevermore, who has the keys of hell and death—don’t be afraid!

#Passover


"Then came the day of the unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed. And He said to Peter and John 'go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat...'" Luke 22:7-8

"And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, blessed and broke it and gave it to the disciples and said, 'Take, eat, this is my body' " - Matthew 26:26

"Christ came as high Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle...not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood He entered the most holy place once and for all, having obtained eternal redemption. " -Hebrews 9:11-12

Grace Family Sushi Night



The greatest speech of all time


I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men---machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural. 

Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power. 

Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

We will get to the promised land

"Somewhere I read, of the freedom of assembly.
Somewhere I read, of the freedom of speech.
Somewhere I read, of the freedom of press.
Somewhere I read, 
that the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights." -MLK
