Christian Patriotism

Since I have started a new Facebook group, Christian Patriot Watch, I thought I'd repost my first blog to help people understand the journey I have been on and why this group was started. I hope to spur others on to do whatever they can big or small to wake others up and become watchmen and prayer warriors for this country.

Patriotic Speech from "The Patriot"


I have posted a youtube video clip above from the movie, "The Patriot," which to me gives you some idea of how Christians were involved in fighting for the freedoms we enjoy in America.( Please click on it and watch it)
I'm not saying we need to go out and physically fight, but what I am saying is we need to become aware, engage, speak out, get involved in what is going on in our country right now, or we risk the chance of losing many of the rights and freedoms we have now.

Being complacent or even just saying you will pray about it or discussing it with your Christian friends is not enough. When I was in school, we could pray in school and actually the Lord's Prayer was said every morning over the intercom, before each assembly, before every football game. Abortion was not legal. You could have the Ten Commandments posted anywhere. Look what has happened over the years. Where were we as Christians? I am as guilty as anyone else, so please don't think I am blaming you.

I believe with all of my heart that NOW is the time we as Christians should continue to pray, but also ask God to, "Send Me," or "What would you have ME do?" It may be as simple as e-mailing or calling your congressmen. It might be attend a meeting of some kind that you feel impressed to go to or contacting your friends and encouraging them in some way to become active. Whatever it is, just become involved. Don't be like I was as a young Christian who never got involved in anything unless it was something at church. As I listed above, those things happened on my watch, when I was younger. Now I'm older, but wiser and I'm trying to make a difference. I hope you will, too.

National Education Standards: Hopeful Change or Hollow Promise?

This is a video event I found on the Cato Institute Website. Very informative debate on the National Education Standards being pushed right now on our states (Common Core State Standards Initiative). This took place back in June. You need to watch this!

Troubling Aspects of Common Core State Standards Initiative:

Only one hearing took place in Congress concerning CCSI and no votes took place on whether or not all of this spending should take place. Can we say unconstitutional?

National standards lead to national assessments

A.      Assessments aren’t like tests.  There is no right or wrong answer.  They are subjectively scored

B.      This will lead to a national curriculum, which is already being written by Bill Gates (curriculum maps) for free.

C.      Teacher’s salaries will be tied to how well students perform on these assessments and in order for teachers to keep their jobs, they will have to teach these assessments  on a daily basis.

D.      This is how indoctrination of our school children will take place.

E.       All information about students and teachers performance will be kept online on a national data base, which is very intrusive. (kept in Washington DC)

How they tricked conservatives/republicans into being silent about this issue:

A.      Promised them charter schools

1.       These will not be traditional charter schools thought of by conservatives

2.       These will be charter schools pushing liberal ideology such as: gay charter schools, environmental global warming schools, social justice schools, etc. like the ones Arne Duncan, Secretary of Ed. was involved with while superintendent of the Chicago school system

B.      Tied student’s performance on assessments to individual teacher’s performance –Value Added Assessments.

1.       These will be online assessments which will have answers that are not graded as right or wrong, but will be subjectively scored

2.       The assessments will take 4-5 days where students will do projects and keep a portfolio and will be evaluated by someone else whose value system may be more left leaning in ideology

3.       If you as a parent have a complaint about his/her evaluation, where do you take it, the Dept. of Ed. In Washington? Where will be the local input?

4.       Teachers will feel constrained to teach to the national standards because they will want to make sure their students perform well so they don’t lose their job.

5.       Teacher’s job evaluation will be dependent on how well her students perform.  In California teacher's job performance were published on the web.

What will be the results of nationalizing standards through the Common Core State Standards Initiative?

A.      Dumbing down of our children

B.      Leftist Agenda –teaching our children to accept climate change, evolution, the gay agenda, anti-capitalism, Islamic ideology; such a Sharia law, anti religious speech, etc….-INDOCTRINATION of our children.

"...any set of test questions that the federal government prescribed should surely be suspect as a first step toward a national curriculum ... In its most extreme form, national control of curriculum is a form of national control of ideas

-Sec. of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph Califano, 1977

Examples of Ideology which could be taught according to things they have said & written:

What's All The Fuss About The States Adopting The "Common Core Standards Iniatives....A Federal Takeover Of Education?"

I'm sure many people when they see headlines or articles posted about this subject just scroll right past it, not really thinking through what could happen to our children if a federal takeover of education takes place.  The far left liberal ideology of this president, all of his czars,  people he surrounds himself with, things he has said, things they have said, etc., GREATLY concerns me.

Kevin Jennings, Safe School Czar on goals for school curriculum

Secretary of Ed. Arne Duncan on mission to make your kids "green citizens."
Secretary of Ed. campaigns for democrats?             

Should the Secretary of Education be campaigning for democrats on our tax dime? He should at least be outwardly non-partisan because of his high position of authority in our government.  Should we trust him and others who are like-minded to overhaul our education system? Do you think if our government develops education standards, they might possibly incorporate certain ideas, subjects and philosophies into those literature books the kids read, the history which is taught or the science/health curriculum? (Kevin Jennings has already stated in the above mentioned video what some of his goals are.)

Earlier last year we saw videos floating around the internet of small examples of indoctrination of our elementary age kids.

Young school kids praise Obama

The Story of Stuff (anti-capitalism video showed in schools across the US) -Produced by the Tides Foundation funded by George Soros

This is only two examples. There are all kinds out there on the internet and in school textbooks and teacher lesson plans.  Remember right after Obama was elected before school started, he was going to address the nations school children and the US education department actually came out with lesson plans for the teachers to use with the students after he gave his speech.  There was such an uproar about it, I believe they ended up pulling the lesson plans.  Don't get me wrong.  I think it's fine for the president to address school kids and his speech was an encouragaing, inspirational speech, but I also read through the lesson plans before they were pulled and some of the activites (in my opinion) did cross the line of appearing to encourage the kids to almost idolize the president.  This was just another example of the blind ideology of this liberal administration and those in the education system who seem to worship him.  The Mmm, Mmm, Mmm video and The Story of Stuff are examples of the beginnings of indoctrination. 

Another concern is whether the local school board and parents will lose their voice and authority over curriculum content.  What will be the process involved when parents have a problem or objection about content?  Will parents be allowed to pull the student out of a class if they object to certain content?  I think not, especially if the content is one of the standards he will be tested on.

Right now they're talking about math and english, but the other subjects are being added and I just don't trust the people in charge enough to know for sure political ideologies that push the homosexual incoctrination, safe sex, abortion, anti-capitalism, etc.,  will not be incorporated into the textbooks and lesson plans.  I know what you're thinking....Alot of that stuff has been in the textbooks and is being taught now.  That's true, but if we allow a federal take-over of our schools it will only get worse and local school boards won't have any say in what is taught. Kevin Jennings, the Safe School Czar can hardly wait to push his homesexual agenda on our kids all the way down to kindergarten age.


Americans are awake now and we realize some of what's been going on with our education system.  That's what the big battle this past year down in Texas was about where the state school board argued for months about what was going to be put in or taken out of the social studies books.  For now it seems "conservatism" won one battle, but there are so many more.


Please parents, grandparents, concerned adults, get involved.  Make your voices heard. Speak out for the children's sake...for our nation....   * Sec. of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph Califano advised Pres. Jimmy Carter in 1977: "...any set of test questions that the federal government prescribed should surely be suspect as a first step toward a national curriculum ... In its most extreme form, national control of curriculum is a form of national control of ideas."  We should be very concerned about the future of our children and thus the nation.  We have to speak out about what is going on in our children's schools because the next generation is being desensitized about good and evil and indoctrinated to believe liberal ideaology. The schools have become Godless zones promoting "political correctness" and an "anything goes" attitude in the name of tolerance.   Our kids will be the future adults and voters of tomorrow. Christians have been silent for too long. We have to become engaged in civil dialogue and what's going on in our schools and nation.   I'm preaching to myself, too.  I joined in the game late, but I'm not going to give up fighting for my daughter and my one day future grandchildren's future and for this nation.

Here's what Gov. Rick Perry and Texans decided for their state concerning "national standards."
