“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 NIV
Once again the immorality of the earth worshipers raises its evil head in Oregon as a Governor gets caught with his hand in the $olar cookie jar. Fortunately, thanks to the corruption of the Democrat Party activists in the state media they were able to divert his guilt long enough to get him re-elected for his 4th term beginning last month and keep the seat safe. Now they have a Stalinist in place of this Leninist who will maintain his graft and corruption schemes for another decade or two. Welcome to Moscow on the Willamette.
John Kitzhaber was Governor beginning twenty years ago when he used his Robert Redford looks to win the election after election with the ladies and maintained it then for two four year terms. He was as he called it a failed Governor taking the state from the middle of the pack to near the bottom in every category you could measure. His economic programs were to protect the spotted owl and closing state forests to proper management and running the lumber industry pretty much out of the state. Now those lumber towns have around a 30% unemployment rate with all of the drug, divorce and addiction issues that go along with them.
Once he completed his two terms he changed his occupation, but not his passion which was damaging the forest industry and renewable energy. During the eight year hiatus from Governor he struck up a relationship with another dirt worshiper who had a smalltime renewable energy company in Bend Oregon. Cynthia Hayes owned a pretty shaky operation from the start that specialized in solar energy. She has always been money hungry and even talked one of her boyfriends into investing into a pot growing operation that failed and nearly was arrested. She is an attractive woman who sells her assets to the highest bidder and when she met this John she saw a sugar daddy she could not pass up. He divorced his 2nd wife who he has a son with and they became a couple destined for the high lifestyle of Salem Oregon.
Once he regained the Governorship they became the consummate corrupt politicians. Using the smokescreen of Global Warming he began fleecing the state with a fury. Like all Dems in this state he thought he was being cute by funneling it through his spouse so he could keep his hands clean. She set herself up as a lobbyist while working out of the Governor’s office and even had business cards printed as the State First Lady even though they were simply shacking up. He was a huge proponent of solar and wind energy to protect mother earth and satisfy all of the dirt worshipers in Portlandia. These companies all lost money like Solyndra, but the Dems were able to deflect the blame from Kitzhaber since he was a Marxist just like them and needed to make Oregon more Marxist.
The interesting part of Oregon is that although it is considered a very liberal state, once you leave the twenty mile circumference of Portland the rest of the state is very conservative. Like most western states outside of California, the vast majority of the land mass is either independent or conservative it is simply overwhelmed by all of the gummit workers in P-Town.
The only reason they are able to maintain their Soviet model is the Repubs are so inept they cannot offer a decent alternative. This election they ran 120 year old man who tried to mirror Romney right down to being a Mormon who would not go on offense. He was so bad, like Romney in the final debate he was Mr Nice and actually read his final statement of why he should be elected off his laptop. He couldn’t even come up with a reason why he was running so why should the voters.
So Kitzhaber sailed to victory, but a funny thing happened as they left the coronation, one of the communist rebel newspapers actually did its job. The Willamette Weekly which is the most liberal paper in the state was the only newspaper that stayed on the story through the entire campaign and forced the floundering bOregonian to cover parts of it. The shoes began to fall and then a boot fell out when it was reported his fiancée did not report $180,000 in fees from a renewable energy firm on her taxes. All of the sudden tax evasion became something even people in Portland could understand and then his attempts to destroy evidence was revealed and jail time became a real possibility so the Party deserted him and he had to resign.
This is the problem when you have Marxists in control of your state for thirty years. They are the party of relativism and hate the Bible with all of its antiquated rules. These are fundamental cultists of the earth which gives them a sense of well being, but no moral direction. They simply make it up as they go and cover every lie or theft with moral justification. This Party has been in power for so long they have written all of the rules and laws to maintain their control so he believed he was a protected class and would get away with it. The problem he ran into is he did not want to report her tax returns to the elections board and so they hid the income from the people, but that type of income is going to be reported on the other side and eventually will be revealed and was.
This is what happens when you do not have Christians or God leading your leaders’ lives. Oh they may look and sound cool with their Robert Redford mustache, hair and blue jeans, but under that façade is a lie. He had no problem leaving his wife and kid for a younger wife to match his youthful looks, since she was hot for him and why not? He was able to kick business her way since it was helping the environment or saving the earth. After a while he was saving the earth more and more while Oregonians were losing jobs and money in his boondoggles. One windmill farm in Eastern Oregon cost Oregonians over fifty million dollars. Finally, he was making so much money in his little scratchy, scratchy system he could not launder the money fast enough and finally they were caught by the IRS. Now he is going to join some of his friends from big Chicago.
John Kitzhaber is the perfect symbol of a radical environmentalist. He worships a man god cult which all of the rules are made by man. He believes man is a god and he is godlike so he makes the rules. The problem is man is evil and will do things that are evil to satisfy the flesh. He of course is all about the environment and satisfying his needs which became more craven until he could not maintain his cravings for money and the hot younger wife. He believed his gods would satisfy and found they simply made him more and more empty, so now he is simply a hollow shell on his way to a very ugly trial. The Cinderella wedding and a final ride into the sunset have been upset by a collapsed bridge and a tumble into the Columbia. God is good, all the time and all the time God is good in his time. So much of this godless Marxism is being exposed that there may be an opening for his power to be revealed to his second favorite land, America. Oregon is America starting to change and this small state is taking a huge step in that direction.
Pray America is waking

Gov. Kitzhaber holds the record for the shortest time in office: 1.12.15 - 2.18.15? Yikes!
He’s already served 12 prior years in office (1995-2003; 2011-to date).
I have lived in Texas and known and worked with people from Oklahoma. I have also lived in Eastern Oregon. What you write is a libelous pack of lies and nothing that resembles any Christian I ever knew from any of those states.
that is what is known to educated folks as sanctimonious self righteous pontification
It’s not that there are not true committed Christians in Oklahoma and Texas, from what I’ve seen ... it’s more that it PERVADES the entirety of society so that there “appears” to be a large number of Christians. You will hear Christian discussions at MacDonalds, or with people walking along the sidewalk, or like a political campaign I saw once, where one of the “bullet points” for “qualifications of the candidate was that he was a Christian.
Those are the kinds of things that would be rare in Oregon. In fact, if you were talking about praying with someone in MacDonalds in Oregon, you would have everyone in the place stop and look at you. If you put down as one of the “qualifications for candidacy” that you were a Christian (in Oregon) you would likely lose the race on that basis.
So, the point is that it pervades the society in Texas and Oklahoma, whereas it does not in Oregon.
BUT ... when you “drill down” with a lot of these “cultural Christians” as to things of the Bible, how or why you’re saved, you get “startling answers” with many of these cultural Christians ... like, “I try to do right!”, “I go to church,” or they accept many unbiblical positions like thinking that you have to respect homosexual lifestyles and it’s not unbiblical, because they can be good people, too, or thinking that abortion is something okay and that God does not form people in the womb ... many things like that.
You then realize that there is a “large segment” of the population who are simply cultural Christians and are not in the knowledgeable and committed category. On the surface, they do “stand for God” verbally, but when actions and issues come up (either in their life or in discussions) they don’t know the right thing according to the Bible and are not committed to it, even if they know what the Bible says.
SO ... overall ... it “seems” like a very large Christian majority, but it’s not. And I would guess that Christians in our society (across the country) consistmof no more than 20% of the population at most. The rest are really not Christians, but “Christians in name only”.
I know what you are saying but the narrative you propose is more consistent with another part of the country, like the NE. Check out the Numbers in southern Baptists churches in Texas and Oklahoma. Southern baptists adhere to the Bible, not religious political correctness.
That’s the thing about the “churches” here in Oklahoma, they are all over the place. And so I’m not saying that people don’t show up in church, but that it’s more cultural for a large segment of them.
People “are” involved in churches more here, as there’s no doubt about that, but being involved in church in NO WAY, SHAPE or FORM makes anyone a Christian. You can have someone sitting right next to you in church, and be there week after week, and they have no idea what the Gospel is.
AND ... many of these churches are competing with each other with big “media events” that they’ve got going on. I’m in Tulsa (the “buckle of the Bible Belt) and that’s the way it is here, and there are a lot of Christians here.
I’ve been in Dallas a lot and it’s that way, too. The church I was going to in Dallas was a Southern Baptist Church — First Baptist of Dallas. Right now there is Pastor Jeffress there as a pastor (and he’s a good one). He wasn’t there when my dad and I were going there, though. And “doctrinally speaking” I know what you’re talking about with their teachings ... but ... I’m not talking about the church teachings (although I think a lot of churches are slipping here in Texas and Oklahoma in that regard, too) ... I’m talking about the “people in the pew” ... they are not necessarily in accord with the doctrinal teachings of a church like First Baptist. And believe me, when you go there, you can certainly tell it’s “cultural” with a lot of the people — although First Baptist Dallas is an excellent church, I think ... especially so now with Pastor Jeffress.
The churches I went to in Oregon were part of the “Northwest Conservative Baptist Association” with “Western Conservative Baptist Seminary” (in Portland, Oregon) supplying a lot of the pastors for these churches. I would rank them right along with the Southern Baptist Association.
BUT ... as a side note, a whole lot of churches are slipping in regards to teaching people in their congregation what the Bible says in all that it does say and teach. I won’t go into a lot here, but it’s really really getting “bad” out there in “Christianity-ville” ... :-) ... and I would expect that to be the case, the closer we come to the time of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, returning and setting up his one-world government and ruling in his new government, over the nations of the world, including all of the people in the good ole USA ... but without operating under the US Constitution anymore, as that will be scrapped. The time is here now when we (in this world) are like the time of Noah, before judgement came. The seven-year Tribulation, just prior to the Messiah of Israel’s return, is that severe judgment rendered upon this earth ... and then Jesus sets up the new one-world government.
I understand what you are saying. People may not know everything about scripture and some people do go to church just for appearances, but many who are there are seeking God because it is in their nature to do so. Some are lost and will never accept, these are satan’s brood and they will follow him to hell. God sent his Son, and if we believe, that is all that is necessary. Keep him in your heart and he will keep you in heaven.
Who is the greatest evangelist of our time?
Religious church goers, most of them, has been my experience in southern Oregon. Very nice people, just lack an understanding of the truth of Gods word, spiritually clueless. They would not be able to take a stand if prosecution should ever rear its ugly head. But how many could? Would the OK and TX believers convert to islam under penalty of beheading? Or would they die for their belief in Christ, like the Coptic Christians have over and over.
Good piece. I live in the Roseburg area and I am kind of a news junkie, I knew very little about all this until after the election. The D party and their PR group the press knew it all and failed in their duty. We have to have an R government, it is the only government that has a check on it in the form of the fourth estate.
