GEORGE W. BUSH REVEALED

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH:

_______________________________

[For documented proof see links at bottom of this page.]

Definitely is pro-choice and has appropriated more money for the abortionist cause than any president in history, and he refuses to secure our borders, labeling the heroic ‘Minute Men’ as vigilantes.

Is pushing hard toward a one-world-government (NAFTA etc.) just like his father did years ago.

Attacked Iraq, a nation that had not attacked us and where no weapons of mass-destruction were found.

Kept close friendship with Saudi Arabia who supported 19 of the terrorist that attacked us.

Uses ‘futurist Bible prophecy teaching’ to uphold Zionism which is both unfair and upsetting to the Muslims.

Supports the Patriot Act that strips away our rights and makes us subject to control from all levels of government and eventually the United Nations itself! (Much more control on the way no doubt).

Allows the ‘laws of eminent domain’ to be stretched to the very limits and beyond, taking our property for any reason, causing us to be servants and bondmen.

Encourages run-away inflation and property taxing. Once again only the very rich will be able to participate in the outdated “American Dream,” with rights, power, and privileges taken from the fast eroding middle class.

Has run up a fiscal deficit to the highest point in American history, outspending every other president that came before him, even after pretending to stand for limited government.

Has become a 'rubber stamp president' signing legislation that includes outrageous spending with never a veto!

Has appointed to high office more openly homosexuals than any president in history, surpassing even Bill Clinton.

And what about refusing to secure the borders both here in the U.S.A and in Iraq not only for our protection but for the protection of our troops and allies?

Are We Witnessing The Rise Of The Fourth Reich?

By Chuck Baldwin

February 7, 2006

Without a doubt, comparisons to Hitler have been overdone. It seems that when a writer disagrees with the policies of a sitting president, be he Republican or Democrat, there exists a ubiquitous temptation to compare him with the ignoble German leader. Some will no doubt charge this author with having succumbed to this temptation. Perhaps I have.

However, as a student of both the Bible and history, I believe we in America are living in times that are eerily reminiscent of the days leading up to the rise of the Third Reich. If after reviewing this thesis, the reader wants to dismiss its conclusions as insipid and irrelevant, he or she is certainly free to do so.

On the other hand, it would do the reader good to heed the words of George Santayana who said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." If America is truly flirting with any semblance of the fallacious and fallen Reich (which I believe it is), it is incumbent upon each and every true American (especially Christians) to renounce, reject, and repudiate such flirtations as early and as vociferously as possible!

There are many facets and aspects of the Third Reich which could and should be analyzed. For the purpose of this column, however, I want to focus on the attitude and actions of the ministers and churches of Germany at the time of Hitler's rise.

My focus upon the German church is predicated upon the fact that as a Christian pastor (I have been the pastor of an Independent Baptist Church for more than 30 years), it is my studied opinion that any western nation will rise or fall according to the attitudes and actions of its Christian leaders and churches. Scripture says, "Judgment must begin at the house of God." Therefore, while any nation might survive corrupt politicians, greedy merchants, and sinful citizens, it cannot survive cowardly, compromising churches! As the churches go, so goes the country!

In the case of Nazi Germany, it was the German churches first and foremost that failed their country. It was the churches that provided Hitler with moral and spiritual cover. It was the ministers and churches that allowed Hitler to seduce the nation. Some ministers were no doubt deceived themselves. Many others, like Adam, partook of the forbidden fruit with their eyes wide open. Either way, without the help and assistance of Germany's churches, the Nazi Party could never have become such a horrible leviathan. Therefore, let's examine the attitudes and actions of Germany's ministers and churches and compare them to America's ministers and churches today to see if there is any similarity.

As we delve into this material, I want to strongly recommend that the reader purchase and devour a book to which I will repeatedly refer. The book is entitled, "Hitler's Cross." It is written by Erwin Lutzer and published by Moody Press. The book is absolutely phenomenal! If you do not read any other book this year (beside the Bible), read "Hitler's Cross."

Now, let's examine the evidence. It is a fact that when Adolph Hitler began his ascent to power, many, if not most, of Germany's Christians believed he was an answer to their prayers. Lutzer says many Christians replaced pictures of Christ in their homes with pictures of Hitler. They truly believed Hitler was "God's man" for Germany. They believed that to resist Hitler was to resist God. And why not?

As Lutzer notes, Hitler revived Germany's collapsed economy. He eradicated the shame of Germany's defeat in WWI by reclaiming the Rhineland. He gave generous vacations to the German people. He created numerous trade schools that trained and equipped Germany's workers. Thus, almost overnight, Germany's vast unskilled labor force was replaced with highly skilled workers. In fact, under Hitler, Germany had virtually no unemployment. Furthermore, Hitler brought crime under control. He built freeways and highways that were the envy of Europe. He literally brought the German people out of poverty and despair and made them a great and proud people once again. As a result, the German people, including German Christians, loved him!

Unfortunately, as Hitler was building Germany's economy and strengthening its military, he was also taking away the rights and liberties of the German people. Remember, Germany was a republic before Hitler came along. The principles of individual freedom and constitutional government were at one time precious to Germans. However, most German people were willing to gladly trade their liberty and freedoms for Hitler's promise of security and strength. It was a bad trade then. It is a bad trade now!

Lutzer documents the fact that at the time of Hitler's rise, there were some 14,000 evangelical churches in Germany. To win the support of these churches, Hitler literally wrapped himself and the Nazi Party in the Cross of Jesus Christ. Even today, one can view photos from Nazi parades showing the Cross of Christ highlighted in the heart of the Nazi Swastika.

In short order, Germany's pastors and churches were convinced that the Nazi Party was God's party and Hitler was God's man. By the time Hitler consolidated power and became Germany's Fuhrer, the Nazi Swastika was displayed proudly on the walls and halls of Germany's churches, both Catholic and Protestant.

Germany's pastors often preached sermons supporting Hitler and the Nazi Party. They told their congregants that to support any other party or any other potential leader was to "fight against God." Very soon, congregants who refused to swear loyalty to Hitler were denied last rites and Holy Communion by Catholic priests, while Protestant pastors excommunicated such members. Romans chapter 13 was often quoted from Germany's pulpits as scriptural justification for demanding loyalty to Hitler.

Even the famous Canadian pastor, Oswald J. Smith (Pastor of the People's Church in Toronto), was taken with Hitler. In 1936 Smith wrote, "What, you ask is the real attitude of the German people toward Hitler? There is but one answer. They love him. Yes, from the highest to the lowest, children and parents, old and young alike, they love their new leader. They trust him to a man.

"What about your elections? I asked. 'We don't want another party. We are satisfied with Hitler.' And that feeling exists everywhere. Every true Christian is for Hitler. I know, for it was from the Christians I got most of my information, and right or wrong, they endorse Adolph Hitler." (Source: "Hitler's Cross" by Erwin Lutzer, pp. 109, 110)

One German pastor, Julius Leutherser gushed, "Christ has come to us through Hitler. [T]hrough his honesty, his faith and his idealism, the Redeemer found us." (Source "Hitler's Cross" by Lutzer, p.101)

Lutzer writes on page 102 of his book, "[I]n Hitler's day being a good Christian involved being a good German nationalist. God and country were practically one and the same."

Germany's Christians forgot that Christ's kingdom "is not of this world." Their desire to restore Germany's greatness and their patriotism somehow dwarfed their commitment to Christ and their fidelity to republican principles. Accordingly, their trust in God was supplanted with trust in Hitler, and their allegiance to principles of freedom was replaced with allegiance to the Nazi Party.

Of course, Hitler knew exactly what he was doing. He knew he needed the support of Germany's churches and pastors and he played the role of Christian leader magnificently. Privately, however, he despised Germany's clergymen. He said, "The parsons will dig their own graves. They will betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable jobs and incomes." How right he was!

Out of 14,000 German ministers, all but 800 gave Hitler their unequivocal and unflinching loyalty. Among the 800 was the great Christian patriot Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was later assassinated by Hitler's henchmen. Virtually all of the 800 courageous pastors who refused to support Hitler were sent to concentration camps.

What would have happened had 10,000 ministers in Germany resisted Hitler? What would have happened if 10,000 ministers would have refused to compromise their loyalty to Jesus Christ, their commitment to republican principles, and their devotion to sacred duty? What would have happened if 10,000 Christian ministers had not allowed the National Socialist Party to supplant their loyalty to God's Word?

It seems clear to me that the attitudes and actions of Nazi Germany's ministers and churches are being repeated in the United States today. To a large degree, Evangelicals have wrapped the Cross of Christ in the banner of the Republican Party. They quote Romans chapter 13 to justify their unflinching, yes, even blind support for President Bush. They are willing to surrender their freedoms and liberties so that President Bush might protect them. Pictures of the president almost universally line the halls and walls of our churches, Christian schools, and pastors' offices. They castigate and denigrate in the most caustic terms anyone who dares to challenge or even question President Bush. They are willing to let the president lead them into multiple wars, even wars of aggression, based solely on Bush's word. They refuse to hold the president accountable to the principles of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It seems to me that President Bush has taken on the aura of an American Fuhrer in the minds of many Evangelicals.

Just how far are Evangelicals willing to allow Bush to go? They already support unbridled spying on American citizens. They have gladly surrendered their Fourth Amendment rights. Would they be willing to support the imprisonment of fellow Christians who don't support Bush if the Department of Homeland Security ordered it? I believe many would. And if so, how is that different from the attitudes of Christians in Nazi Germany?

Again, readers may dismiss my observations as inane if they want to. However, please notice that the focus of this column was not so much on Hitler but on the attitudes and actions of Germany's ministers and churches.

If the reader can honestly and objectively look at the history of Germany's ministers and churches and see no similarity to the attitudes and actions of America's ministers and churches today, so be it. To me, however, the similarities are striking!

Cracks in White House

James N. Clymer

Constitution Party National Chairman

After almost five years in office, the Bush welcome in Washington is beginning to wear thin. More than four years after the event which set the tone for his presidency – 9/11 – the evidence is mounting that both President Bush’s grassroots base and his political allies in Washington are wearying of a one-note presidency apparently more interested in destroying and rebuilding Iraq than in protecting our own borders, and with perpetuating the big-government, anti-constitutional agenda of his predecessor instead of reducing the size of the federal government.

In the immediate wake of 9/11, President Bush and his handlers refocused all of America’s attention on hunting down the enemies who had committed the worst act of mass murder in American history. As our bombs began raining on Afghanistan and later, Iraq, many Americans seemed content to applaud the war effort and ignore other aspects of the Bush agenda. President Bush’s enthusiasm for opening our already porous southern border even further by granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and for propelling America into the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA), went almost unnoticed. His pandering to environmental extremists in the proposed Clear Skies Initiative – which would have provided a framework for regulating American industry even more severely than the Kyoto Pact – was virtually ignored. President Bush has made it very clear he is a fervent supporter of more and more federal involvement in education, health care, and a host of other sectors where the federal government has no constitutional authorization to legislate. Yet, because of the aw-shucks, down-home, church-going persona crafted by his sophisticated team of handlers, many among his conservative base have continued to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Until recently. Suddenly, with U.S. war deaths in Iraq over 2000, and no end in sight for the bloody mess we’ve helped to create in that tragic land, the gung-ho boosterism of the war hawks is losing credibility. Americans are beginning to realize that George Bush has no exit strategy and fully intends to stay in Iraq for the duration of his administration, leaving the mess he created for his successors to clean up. Bush’s economic policies, which have consisted mostly of a series of temporary tax cuts with no corresponding cuts in the size of government, have been losing their luster thanks to a stagnant stock market, soaring gasoline prices, and stunning numbers of job losses. The recent Hurricane Katrina debacle showed the country that Bush is more committed to policing and rebuilding Iraq, half a world away, than with protecting our homeland against natural disasters. The levees that failed to protect New Orleans were denied an upgrade, which might have enabled them to withstand a Category Five hurricane, because the money was diverted to Iraq. Finally, the now-withdrawn nomination of Harriet Miers, a stealth attempt to replace Sandra O’Connor with another liberal on the Supreme Court, shows that Bush is no conservative on social issues either. In short, in President George W. Bush we have, as we had with his father, a big-government conservative with no interest in upholding his constitutional oath of office. Bush’s well-meaning but ultimately misguided base is finally beginning to wake up to the fact. But what is to be done about it?

It is important that everyone interested in returning our federal government to America’s constitutional and moral roots understand that the Republican Party is never going to do the job. They had a chance during the Reagan years, when we had a president who at least made great speeches about the Constitution, the value of truly free markets, the evils of communism, and so forth. But they blew it because party insiders and the liberal Democrat majority in Congress made sure that Reagan never had a chance to implement serious reforms. The GOP had another, even better chance to show they were serious about reforming the federal government in 1994 when, for the first time in decades, they captured both houses of Congress. Now, in control of both houses of Congress and the White House, instead of showing leadership in the face of predictably shrill opposition to any intention to trim government fat, they have lapsed into muttering me-tooisms. Most of those conservative, avowedly constitutionalist warriors from the grassroots who got elected in 1994 are either gone or have, in quaint beltway parlance, “grown in office,” happy now to play the game they were elected to stop.

While the conservative Republican base has waited – for the right Supreme Court nominee, who never seems to come along; for an elected leadership that will finally abolish unconstitutional departments like the Department of Education; and for a President and Congress who will finally get serious about both cutting taxes and balancing the budget by genuinely reducing government spending – America continues to lurch further and further down the road to serfdom. The national debt continues to soar, the American military is stretched more and more thinly across the globe, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants continue to pour into the United States, and the usurped, unconstitutional powers of the federal government continue to expand at an alarming rate.

Sooner or later (and we pray it will be sooner), grassroots conservatives will fully awaken to the fact that they have been sold a bill of goods by the Republican Party. They will recognize that the American ship of state will not be returned to her proper course without true constitutionalists at the helm. And true constitutionalists – who will cut taxes, eliminate government waste, avoid unnecessary military entanglements, defend our borders, and appoint fellow constitutionalists to the Supreme Court – are to be found in only one political party, the Constitution Party. As the Bush Administration continues to founder and the scales fall from the eyes of our well-meaning Republican friends, let’s take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to see that, in the next elections, we send some Constitution Party candidates to Washington, and begin to win back our electorate and our country from the entrenched bipartisan elites.
