Why 2012 is the most important election for the USA
If video fails, click here or go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-2012-is-most-important-election-for.html
This is the most recent video (Unedited Version) from our friends at TeaPartyBrief.com -- one of the best news aggregation sites on the web. In our opinion, much better than Drudge Report and HuffPost.
It is important to note that the powerful flag burning footage after the quote "No--It's a harder choice than that." is symbolic of what will happen to our great nation if the majority of American's choose the wrong side. As far as we know, the flag burning footage is not from any 'Occupy' protest in the United States; however, you can find a plethora of images and video of US flag desecration by just searching Google for flag burning, occupy protest, occupy wall street, flag desecration, etc...
My comment:
The coming election is not just about 2 parties with different flavors of the same politic. Rather, it is a more radical choice of completely different, nay opposing visions. These visions will form our children and their children and change our way of life. Now more than ever, we need to know and help others be informed correctly. Vote GOP.

Obama "spreads the sunshine" to Solyndra. Third world graft and corruption gone wild - in the USA.

President Obama spent $535 million of taxpayer stimulus money to prop up Solyndra, a solar panel company run by his political campaign contributors. Even though Department of Energy and White House staffers warned that the company's business model would never work, the loan was rushed out the door anyway. Now that Solyndra has gone belly up, taxpayers are left holding the bill. Learn more at http://americansforprosperity.org/green-energy-scam
My comment: This is how politics work in the third world: "Spreading the sunshine." It is also called graft and corruption. I wonder why people just watch and shake their heads while he goes robbing the nation to bride his cronies.

Newt Gingrich is the only candidate with a national record of job creation, balanced budgets, and conservative government reform.
Leadership now. Newt now.

We all know how important it is to talk to others about Christ. But we shouldn't forget about the impact of how we live our lives as well. Just think, you may never meet the person whose life you helped change.

No More Common Godhead: Muslim Leader "Grand Mufti" Declare All Christians Evil - "Infidels"

Top Muslim Declares All Christians 'Infidels' by Raymond Ibrahim Pajamas Media October 28, 2011
To what extent was Egypt's Maspero massacre, wherein the military literally mowed down Christian Copts protesting the ongoing destruction of their churches, a product of anti-Christian sentiment?
A video of Egypt's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ali Gomaa (or Gom'a), which began circulating weeks before the massacre, helps elucidate. While holding that Muslims may coexist with Christians (who, as dhimmis, have rights), Gomaa categorized Christians as kuffar — "infidels" — a word that connotes "enemies," "evil-doers," and every bad thing to Muslim ears.
After quoting Quran 5:17, "Infidels are those who declare God is the Christ, [Jesus] son of Mary," he expounded by saying any association between a human and God (in Arabic, shirk) is the greatest sin: "Whoever thinks the Christ is God, or the Son of God, not symbolically — for we are all sons of God — but attributively, has rejected the faith which God requires for salvation," thereby becoming an infidel.
:
In short, yes, many religions "share basic tenets," but they are secondary to the differences, which are more final and define the relationship. Or, to put it in Ali Gomaa's paradigm: Fine, Christianity and Islam have commonalities — but, by the way: "Infidels are those who declare God is the Christ, son of Mary."
The fact is, this Quranic verse is as much a cornerstone of Islam's view of Christianity as the unity of God and Christ is a cornerstone of Christianity, articulated some 1700 years ago in the Nicene Creed. The issue is clear cut for all involved.
Accordingly, how can one fault Gomaa? As Grand Mufti, he is simply being true to Islam's teachings. Indeed, his consistency is more commendable than the equivocations of Western ecumencalists who, by falling over themselves to assure Muslims that they all essentially believe in the same things, demonstrate, especially to Muslims, that they believe in nothing.
Incidentally, if Gomaa upholds the plain teachings of the Quran concerning who is an infidel, is it not fair to assume he also upholds the Quran's teachings on how to confront them, as commanded in Quran 9: 29: "Fight … the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] until they pay the Jizya [tribute] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Of course, prudent Muslims, undoubtedly like Gomaa himself, know that now is not the time to talk openly about such things.
Either way, here is another reminder of how Quranic verses and terms that Western people brush aside as arcane or irrelevant have a tremendous impact on current events — such as Egypt's Maspero massacre: For the same word Gomaa, the nation's Grand Mufti, used to describe Christians is the same word Muslim soldiers used when they opened fire on and ran over Christian Copts; the same word twenty Muslim soldiers used as they tortured a protesting Christian; and the same word Muslims hurled at Christians during the funeral procession for their loved ones slain at Maspero: Infidel.
