I have strayed off topic in this thread too far already but I would like to ask you another question. You state:
In my opinion, what Jesus Christ actually said about Moses does not allow us to give any amount of short shrift to Mosaic Law...

The underlined emphasis is yours. Ok then, here is a requirement of the Law of Moses:

Exodus 23:
14 “Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.

15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.

“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.

16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field.

“Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.

17 “Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.

Deuteronomy 16:
16 Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.

GoldenEagles, if you bother to study these, they involve offering sacrifices at the only place authorized for such - at the temple, and the only temple was in Jerusalem. All the men of Israel were to assemble as commanded by God at the location specified by God on those three feasts. The Law of Moses included all the sacrifices throughout the year at the temple.

My question to you is this; do you offer those same sacrifices Golden Eagle? If not, why not, as they are codified in the the Law of Moses?

Cordially,

Bingo... And there you have it.. The reason for so much of this anti-Mitt crazed hate. Sick, twisted, irrational... So much so, that you'd rather have a Kenyan Marxist in power- who is destroying our great country

You have JimRob who despises Mitt based in his views, and that's fine.. He'll sit out... But folks like yourselves- with your blatant religious hate, are something else.

I would guess 85-90% based on what I’ve read here.

What position does a conservative presidential candidate have to take to energize this great slumbering giant into action?

First of all, IMHO, I believe the primary elections are manipulated so that a 'Reagan' never happens again.

Secondly, I think that without Reagan Conservatism, the loosing of the Conservative juggernaut is nearly impossible. Anyone who endeavors to hyphenate Conservatism (including Palin btw) is hyphenating it in order to change what it is:

It is Goldwater libertarianism combined with the Judeo-Christian ethic (primarily Evangelical) in it's conscience, with an adherence to certain and defined principles which, when held ALL TOGETHER, are inclusive of the 3 major Conservative factions (Social Conservatism [SOCON], Financial/Libertarian Conservatism [FICON], and Defense/Foreign Policy Conservatism [DEFCON]).

What Reagan positively defined is the proposition that it does you, the voter, no harm to vote for a candidate that holds not only your principles, but the principles of all of the conservative factions - together in ONE candidate - And Reagan Conservatism is just that:

As a social conservative, you will natively uphold the purposes and principles of the vast Christian Right, but you may well have no interest in financial/libertarian conservatism or defense/foreign policy conservatism... But if you understand what Reagan wrought, you should forego a purely Christian candidate for a candidate which can stand astride all three factions and harness them together. Those factions harnessed together ARE the Conservative juggernaut, which IS unstoppable, and which speaks truths that 60%+ of Americans will hear like a pealing bell.

That candidate will not only hold the principles that you adhere to (inherent within the Christian Right), but will also be acceptable to the FICONS and the DEFCONS, because he adheres to their principles too. Without that 'harnessing together', the juggernaut cannot be formed, and the factions go their separate ways, falling powerlessly back into the vast sea of voters.

So, you see, despite what most folks here cry for, pragmatism, ABO, lesser of 2 evils, it is the purity candidate that is the only chance at a real victory - But not a pure SOCON, not a pure FICON, and not a pure DEFCON - What is needful is a pure Reaganite.

Unfortunately, the NeoCons hold power - NeoConservatism is a euphemism to describe the Baker wing 'moderates' of the Republican Party (Bush, Bush Jr, McCain)- They claim Reagan, but gain their power by division, not by inclusion. They have historically feigned allegiance to the principles of the Christians and Defense conservatives, but have successfully omitted the inclusion of Financial/libertarian conservatives, and with that, have omitted civil-libertarianism from the conscience of most conservative folks today - Something a Reaganite would never do.

But in doing so, NeoCons gain just enough voting power to hold on to power, and without the necessary civil-libertarian element, we spin ever toward the left, as Neocons attempt to consolidate by trying to gain votes form a largely imaginary middle. This is why pragmatism is preached.

But there is hope: The TEA parties are American Conservatives crying out, and it is no coincidence that it is formed largely of civil-libertarianism combined with a still burgeoning Christian Right component. And it is no surprise that they are insistent that their candidates adhere to the principles of those two factions... This is Reaganism's core re-consolidating beyond the reach of the Republican party. And it is my hope that they stand true to their cause and get behind a Conservative presidential candidate, even if it means that a 3rd party is employed.

Clearly, the Master Jesus Christ taught respect for the Lawgiver Moses, and that is because Moses framed the doorway that would lead the people to the Heart of Christ.

AMEN!

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

(e-Sword:KJV)

Jim Baker? James A. Baker III? The Reagan-Bush guy?

By now, "neocons" are all things to all men, but the foreign policy "neocons" hated and still hate Jim Baker.

As politicians go, he wasn't awful. As I recall, he didn't have much to say about social conservatism one way or the other.

I know it is bad form to answer a question with a question, but in part, the answer you are seeking must include the following:

If one follows the great prophets, one will find that they predict a time when the law will go forth from Jerusalem, where David's throne is established eternally. At that time, those same feasts (sacrifices included) are being practiced, and all of the men in the entire world (ie: father and first born son) are required to attend... else they will get no rain.

My question, FRiend, is: "How do we get from here to there?" And with my previous post in mind, did the prophets get it wrong? Did Yeshua change that?

Jim Baker? James A. Baker III? The Reagan-Bush guy?

Yes. This Conversation tells a lot of what was happening @ Reagan. It is lengthy enough that I really don't want to make you read the whole thing, nor do I care to take the time to count the paragraphs in order to properly ID the specific link - But you can go to the page and search 'Jim Baker Wing' in the text to arrive at the passage quoted below.

This particular part of the transcript is a conversation between Mike Church and Tony Blakely:

Tony: Let me tell you specifically regarding Federalism because the Reagan White House was divided into the Meese Wing and the Jim Baker Wing. The Meese Wing were the Reaganites. I was part of the Reaganite Wing. The Jim Baker Wing were the pragmatists. They were the Washington operatives who knew how to get things done. Reagan, who I believe was a wonderful man and a principled president, wanted both because he understood that if he just had the keepers of the flame, just the principled people, he wouldn’t get anything done. And if he just had the operators, it wouldn’t matter what you got done because you wouldn’t be acting according to principle. He tried as best he could to bring a balance.

By now, "neocons" are all things to all men [...]

That is true... But only because the definitive concepts of Reagan Conservatism have been removed for the sake of the pragmatists - if the self-evident truths of Reagan Conservatism were adhered to, it would be easy to tell the Conservatives from the NeoCons. For the purpose of this discussion I will define NeoCons as those holding to pragmatism gone amok, yet distinct from the liberal wing of the Republicans. They tend toward a 'moderate' stance, and preach an !UP! the middle campaign strategy. They are concerned with principle as an end to a means, and the win is more important.

[...] but the foreign policy "neocons" hated and still hate Jim Baker.

Accepted. But I think the above quote suggests that Baker is not the point, but rather he and his fellows' powerbase...

It is difficult to track this wing of the Republicans - It is too bad that pissant is gone from here, as he had gone to the monumental effort of compiling a huge link-base explaining the whole thing. While I am very aware of the usurpation which began with Bush the elder, it isn't something I have tracked personally.

Further Observations on
The Relationship Between
The Law and the Lord Christ

Diamond says, "GoldenEagles, if you bother to study these, they involve offering sacrifices at the only place authorized for such - at the temple, and the only temple was in Jerusalem. All the men of Israel were to assemble as commanded by God at the location specified by God on those three feasts. The Law of Moses included all the sacrifices throughout the year at the temple ... My question to you is this; do you offer those same sacrifices Golden Eagle? If not, why not, as they are codified in the the Law of Moses?"

The particulars of religion are never off topic in the religion forum. And especially where we are confronting the question as to whether we can serve the purposes of God as we are required to do, in the current election cycle, by turning our back on God. By taking a little time to run the fingers of the mind over important scriptural passages, this helps us to tune our mind into the spirit domain, from whence all illumination comes. And we need illumination in this hour.

As to your question. The Requirements of the Law, as given to the people of that day, through Moses, are given to them in a form that corresponds to the practical requirements of their life circumstances. As I understand it, they were a nomadic people. They made their living primarily through their flocks of sheep and goats and so forth. These flocks were kept moving to find appropriate grazing lands, and the people had to move with them. Moses, and God, had a great challenge in bringing a religious structure to their lives as the community was so fluid and dispersed. The passages from Exodus that you quoted represent this effort by God to meet these challenges. Ritual is extremely important to the religious life of a people, and these rituals had to be structured in such as way as to dovetail with their life circumstances. All of their sacrifices were given in the "currency" which they valued in their day, the life of their flocks. They did not have money as we know it.

All that was required by God of these people, are required of us today, but we meet those requirements according to the circumstances of the culture that we live in. It is part of the process of establishing rituals that give expression to our Love for God and our Devotion to his Purposes. We can't conform to the letter of the law, because the letter of the law does not conform to our circumstances, but we can and we are required to conform to the spirit of the law.

"three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me" In America, Christians do that in Christmas, Easter, and the Fourth of July.

"No one is to appear before me empty-handed." Have your wallet with you, and please put something in the collection plate. (tithing) And so forth.

In every case where Moses has delineated God's Law, where the law is expressed in a manner that reflected a certain cultural fabric, because the circumstances of our society are so different, we must discern what the spirit of the law is looking for, and obey the spirit. The requirement to obey and to fulfill the law is always before us. The law is life. All disease is the return current of disobedience before the law. All people are required to process the return current of their own folly in this regard, in times and places that the Law determines.

Jesus Christ spoke to this, and his statement should be branded on our forehead to constantly remind us of it:

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:18)

And that statement should be remembered along with its companion:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."(Matthew 5:17)

I explained above how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the law. First we study to show ourselves approved unto the law. We know what the law is. Then we make our effort to be obedient to it. Finding that we are not able to achieve a substantial degree of obedience,we find that we need the intercession of Christ to destroy the momentum of sin in us. We call out to Christ in the here and now, and ask for freedom from a particular sin pattern. And Christ gives us freedom. But we are tested. And we will need to call out to Christ again and again, until the Power of Christ lives in us, and his power, has overcome the sin pattern in us. When you read that scripture, this is what it means that Christ came to fulfill the law.

Whenever we are confronted with an opportunity to explain to someone why the law, by itself, while important, is not enough, that we need the Intercession of Christ as well, this is always the explanation. The Law and Christ go hand in hand. We must choose by freewill to work with Christ, so his power to fulfill the law in us can become active in us.

Jesus made it a point that we were not to make the Law of Moses into a dead letter:

Matthew 15

1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Is Jesus Christ a hypocrite, who will chastise hypocrisy in these people, but look the other way as those who purport to follow him, in the same manner make a dead letter of the Law of Moses? Nay. The Law is essential.

All of this must be understood in the context of the goal that Christ set before us:

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

The Master is looking for us to become perfectly obedient to the law of God in every respect, as that is the only way a soul can be allowed back into heaven. People say, well, perfection is beyond me. But that thought makes a dead letter of the goal Christ set before us. And therefore represents the spirit of anti-christ in our world. We can become perfectly respectful, loving, and obedient before the law of God, if we understand that it is only the Power of Christ that will make that possible.

The following passage ties all of this together:

"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."(Matthew 7:21-23)

This phrase "I never knew you" applies to those people who refused to submit their sin patterns unto Christ, for the purpose of being set free from them. In like manner, this phrase "ye that work inequity" refers to those who have chosen to live within their sin patterns, not having any desire to part from them, and not believing that Christ has the power to set them free anyway. It is Pride that blocks the individual from admitting that they need to change their ways. And pride blocks the formation of the necessary spirit of repentance in the heart. Pride is always reinforced by the dark side, the demonic realm, it is a power that has opposed, from the very foundation of the world, the movement of the Children of God in the direction of salvation.

The homosexual movement is composed of a veritable army of fallen souls who fit solidly into this category of rebellion against God and Christ, who refuse to hold out their hand for help, even as they are being dragged deeper and deeper into the bottomless pit.

The parable of the wedding garment was given to reinforce this teaching.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen. (Matthew 22:11-12)

The wedding garment is a metaphor for a garment of Light, that surrounds the soul, composed of freewill decisions to surrender sin patterns, and to have those patterns replaced by the Power of Christ, which Jesus Christ is empowered to give to us, even as THE dispenser of eagle wings. The soul must be wearing this garment as a prerequisite for its re-entry into the domain of heaven, and its eternal life.

This phrase, "Many are called, but few are chosen,", refers to the fact that the requirement of perfection is before all people, in every culture, and God calls all people to perfection, because he wants to bring all of them home to their original divine estate. But only a relative few, in a given time and generation, will hear this call, understand it, and understand how to act upon it. These few bring into embodiment a more tangible sense of the reality of heaven, they want to return there, but they know that sin cannot live in the heaven world, so they are ready to work with Jesus Christ to be set free from their sin patterns, all of them, to establish that wedding garment, which alone will allow them to reenter the heaven world at the end of this life.

To sum up, the following reality check was given to us by the Lord Christ, to help us be clear in our minds, as to the progress we have made towards the goal of weaving the aforementioned wedding garment, a glowing consciousness of light, transferred to us by the Master Jesus Christ, of loving respect and obedience before God's Law in every particular, which is the prerequisite unto salvation:

Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that beleiveth on me, the works that I do, shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. (John 14:12)

Indeed, there it is. This forcefield of Light, the wedding garment of loving and respectful obedience unto the Law of God, as it has been articulated by all the Prophets, into which the Lord Jesus Christ would restore us, has all of these powers inherent in it. This is our reference point for determining whether our belief structures are correct, or contain flaws that must be removed.

Make no mistake, whenever Jesus Christ referred to the benefits that accrue to the person who believes in him, and he did that often, he always had in his mind a very specific set of criteria for what it means to "believe." We must find that belief structure in his teaching, and we must integrate that belief structure into our lives. If we do that successfully, and we are not led a astray by false doctrines, even the commandments of men, we will be able to fulfill the promise give by the Lord Christ in John 14:12.

Finally, as I noted before, if the statements of an Apostle cause a person to create a conclusion in their mind, which would make a dead letter of the clear Teaching of the Lord Christ, as he himself expressed it, then we know that the interpretation is incorrect. All interpretations must harmonize with ALL the words that came out of the mouth of Jesus Christ.

“What is the alternative? Pray everyday with your whole heart for an alternative to step forward. I will pray for the resurrection of the Newt Gingrich campaign specifically.”

If you're gonna pray for a miracle, maybe pray for a better candidate with a little more integrity than Newt Gingrich. “

Correct. There are much better people than Newt to look at if we are putting our cards in looking a miracle to happen. Newt is not miracle material.

Palin on the other hand.....

HereInTheHeartland, "There are much better people than Newt to look at if we are putting our cards in looking a miracle to happen. Newt is not miracle material."

I appreciate all the good words said by Sarah Palin about Newt Gingrich. And they were many.

The core of Newt Gingrich's career, was congruent and conjunct with the core of Ronald Reagan's career. He served the Reagan cause in an admirable manner. Newt Gingrich has a deep reservoir of experience serving in the U.S. Congress, from the ranks and eventually to the leadership, during those years. His heart and Reagan's heart were one on the core challenge of stopping the advance of the forces of World Communism in those years. Newt Gingrich stood on the front lines of that battle. He has proved time and time again that he has a heart that can grasp the problems that America faces. This is especially exemplified by the college courses he taught, during those years, on the Renewal of American Civilization. He is the nearest thing to the candidate described by Roamer_1 above, that embodies the Reaganesque capacity to harmonize the three distinct segments of the conservative coalition. He has this potential, but it is not yet realized.

Newt Gingrich has no ethics issues. When he became speaker, the Democrats determined to bring him down, in the same way their Speaker Jim Wright was brought down. Though they had nothing to work with there. They had to fabricate a zillion falsehoods, and forced an ethics investigation to resolve them. How many of the charges were found to be valid? ZERO. That is a fact.

All the charges the Democrats leveled had to do with the course Newt Gingrich was teaching on the Renewal of American Civilization. They charged that this course was not tax extempt because it was created for the purpose of political partisan gain. These charges were all found to be baseless. For those who knew the situation, here was a warrior in Reagan's army that took several dozen poison arrows to the heart, and remained standing. But they did manage to snag his heel on what I would characterize as a procedural issue, an error made in the process of defending himself, where he signed a letter to the ethics committee drafted by his attorney that had a falsehood in it. They focused on that, blew that all out of proportion, and were able to walk away with a piece of raw meat in their mouths.

To magnify this into such a large mountain of condemnation, that completely blocks out the Light that would otherwise bear witness to the overwhelming amount of good that Newt Gingrich accomplished, bringing about a majority in the U.S. Congress of the Republicans for the first time in 40 years, bears witness to the pathological thirst the forces of darkness have in the destruction of any politician who carries a lamp of brightness unto the people.

That Romney attacked Newt Gingrich on this, proves that Romney has a heart of absolute darkness, a heart of lies, and falsehoods, with no capacity to recognize a hero of the conservative movement, and make no mistake about it. Newt was a bonafide, battle scarred, hero of the conservative movement in those days.

I believe that Newt Gingrich can rise again and should rise again. He has a lot to offer America. His heart is like a treasure chest in that regard, that could overflow with gold and jewels of every kind, unlike the clogged up toilet that Romney represents, which has never seen a visit by the rotorooter man.

Make no mistake. When Jesus Christ referred to that generation of vipers, his all-seeing eye had Mitt Romney directly in front of him. Whited sepulcher to boot full of dead men's bones.

In engineerng his comeback, perhaps Newt Gingrich will work behind the scenes to harmonize his return with Rick Santorum at his side. That would be a good idea. If they are carrying the right banner when they emerge back on the scene, the conservative base will enthusiastically cast aside their barf bags, gas masks and clothes pins, and rally around them. But they both have to move to higher ground. The principle of Unity under God needs to be held high in a manner that integrates perfectly with the needs of America.

Romney and Obama - Two Sides of the
Same Piece of Counterfeit Currency. - (Part 2)

Second, a step back shows the larger scene:


 

Where do these roads lead? The heart knows. And our eyes and ears bear witness, even as the culture continues to crumble. Romney is a facilitator of the crumbling culture, in the same manner as Obama, as their hearts both support abortion, the abortion of the physical unborn child, and God's purpose and plan for that child, and the abortion of the soul (enslaved to homosexuality), and the abortion of freedom in government mandated health care, of which Romney carries this dubious distinction of being the founding father.

Nature itself testifies to the Truth: After a long and fruitful morning walk in the local national park, I drove over to the local Del Taco to get some breakfast. They have a great sausage, egg, and cheese muffin sandwich that competes with, is better than, and less expensive than McDonald's breakfast McMuffin. On the way there, I had to stop at an intersection for a red light, and I was behind several cars already. When the light changed to green, the traffic began to move forward slowly, and this gave me an opportunity to notice a little squirrel, of the bushy tailed copper brown variety, laying in the road, just off to the left of the traffic lane. In this Southern California coastal valley, we see them all the time in their flamboyant and highly flourished romps across the landscape. Are they not one of nature's greatest adornments? I think so. But this squirrel could not have been ok, as he was not moving very much, only a little bit. He was face down, but I didn't see any blood on the road. He acted like he had been stunned by a car encounter, rather than actually run over. My heart went out to this little creature. I wanted him to wake up, and get off the road, so he would not get hurt worse. Just as I thought that, a big black crow landed near the squirrel. And the crow stabbed the squirrel with a sharp quick poke of its thick and sturdy beak. The very instant I saw that, I thought of Mitt Romney. Really. The squirrel had life in him yet and he lifted his head, and that was enough to make the crow jump away. But the crow attacked again, cruelly, with another stab of its thick pointed beak. But again, the little guy reacted and that drove the crow to back away. But I think that was all he had in him. He did not move much after that, as he was triple stunned at that point. If the crow had left him alone he might have made it to safety if had the time to gather his senses. But the Mitt Romney's of this world are always there to make sure that the easy meat will adorn their own dinner table. That is when the traffic got moving and I had to pass him by. On the way back, I looked for the squirrel, there he was, and we surely dead now. I am so sorry. But honest to God that is how I see Mitt Romney's business career.

Facts are Interesting Things

The fact is that the child that Romney so cruelly abused in prep school went on to become a mortician, licensed in three states no less, a career dealing with dead bodies.

The fact is that Romney's chosen career path was to feed off the carcasses of dying businesses.

The fact is that Romney's chosen campaign slogan happens to have been spoken by a mortician in the organized crime movie, "The Godfather".

The fact is, that in France, in 1968, the car driven by Romney was involved in a crash that killed the wife of the leader of his Mormon mission. How many Americans were involved in the death of the wife of their church leader? That is a fairly unique point on anyone's resume. God did not lift a finger to help him or has passengers. This is a warning to all of us. If we let him drive, God will do nothing to protect us.

The theme of death is written onto the soul of Mitt Romney. It is woven into his identity. The warning signs are there.

Romney and Obama - Two Sides of the
Same Piece of Counterfeit Currency. - (Part 3)

Third, there are any number of scriptural passages
that properly characterize these two roads. This is
one example:

 

Indeed, who is the father of lies? And who are his followers who use lies to gain wealth and power?

For the Left Handed Path, I have chosen, "For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (MT 16:26)

(This fits Romney like a glove. Those who follow him, will follow him down that path, like the leadership of NRLC, which knows Romney is NOT pro-life, but who will tell the lie that he is pro-life thinking they will advance their cause thereby. Check out the veritable parade they are creating of those who are so willing to throw truth to the wind thinking they can somehow make progress in God's work thereby. I do not judge them. If they had a bright light to lead them, I am sure they would prefer that. As it stands, if this Romney candidacy persists much longer all those who are pro-life will require nasal surgery to reopen their nostrils.)

For the Right Handed Path, I have chosen, "Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven." (MT 16:26)

This is the path of truth.

Ronald Reagan's belief of America as the Shining City on the Hill was based in large part on the hope and promise of the fulfillment of this prayer. The American heart used to have faith, and more than anything else, Ronald Reagan gave voice to this faith.

In Part 4, I will give these two divergent paths further dimensionality.

(Part 1)  (Part 2)
