The Nature of JUSTICE is Thus: "I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work." -- Ecclesiastes 3:17 Justice means not only to punish the bad, but also to reward the good. Vengeance and retribution are not themselves Justice, as what is called "social justice" is unhealthy to the soul.
On SELFISHNESS & SACRIFICE: It has been said, "Self-preservation is the first law of nature; self-sacrifice the highest rule of grace." Without a sense of self, one cannot survive. Without Free Will, one cannot truly give of one's self. Coercion in the name of Sacrifice is not Good--it is Evil. Sacrifice of Things and Sacrifice of Others differ from the virtue of Self-Sacrifice. You must be completely free to give of yourself.

"I do not hesitate to say, that those who call themselves Abolitionists should at once effectually withdraw their support, both in person and property, from the government...and not wait till they constitute a majority of one, before they suffer the right to prevail through them. I think that it is enough if they have God on their side, without waiting for that other one. Moreover, any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already." -- Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience

Protect Marriage Maryland with TFP Student Action
March 11, 2011
Despite the vote of the People of California to amend their Constitution with Proposition 8, despite the Defense of Marriage Act, and despite the 1973 Maryland law which defines marriage between one man and one woman, the legislature pushed forward with trying to re-define marriage for the purposes of catering to one small, angry, well-funded special interest group. Their purpose was not true "equality," nor was the government interested in protecting our religious liberties (which is their job.) In Washinton, D.C. President Obama demonstrated that he is an enemy to God's word and marriage by announcing that he would no longer defend DOMA in court. Phonecalls poured in from the Clinton's as well as the Cheney's to urge Maryland lawmakers to change their law, which would enact religious discrimination by imposing the homosexual agenda on schools and private businesses. Thanks to nothing less than the grace of God, the votes were not there, and the bill was sent back to committee. We must remain vigilant, as they can bring the issue back for a vote at any time, and with all the money and political power on the side of the enemies of God and Liberty, it is up to the people of Maryland to defend their most cherished values by refusing to bow to the will of the Godless, hateful, vindictive, intolerant homosexual agenda.

Marriage in Maryland has come under attack by extremists on the left. Through the dualistic lens of the party and faction, the faith community has been put into a position where we will have to choose -- party or principle; government or God. Sadly, many have been washed away already to the point where God's will is secondary to our political ideology. Despite the false prophets who have drawn us away from God in the name of political power, some of us know better. So if you count yourself among the number who believe in living by God's will, and not the will of man -- that "no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper..." as it says in Isaiah 54:17, and that "every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn," then we can't help but be victorious, for as it is said, "This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD." The can be won, but it needs your help. Please write: help@protectmarriagemd.org to assist us in protecting marriage from those who would destroy it.

Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's Attorney General, and a defender of the rights of his State and of the People of the United States has filed suit against the Federal Government over the Individual Mandate in the Healthcare Reform Law. “If Virginia loses this fight and the federal government is allowed to
cross this line, Congress will be granted virtually an unlimited power
to order you to buy anything,” he said. “That’s not rhetoric. That’s

with Brian Brown, President of the National Organization for Marriage
July 21, 2010
The National Organization of Marriage came to Annapolis, Maryland in its month-long tour of the United States to stand for traditional marriage. Having dealt with intolerant, disruptive homosexual activists in New York and Providence, Rhode Island, the speakers preached against the tactics of the Left. I was very glad to see highly visible Black pastors from Maryland turn out, as well as several members of their churches. Also in attendance was Katherine Nelson, who is running for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 21. Excellent speeches were delivered by NOM's Brian Brown as well as Derek McCoy (Association of MD Famillies), Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse (Ruth Institute), and Bishop Harry Jackson (High Impact Leadership Coalition). Only a handful of gay activists showed up, claiming they were "tracking" the National Organization of Marriage. I delivered an interview with them, in which I made a point to speak about our 1st Amendment right to "free exercise of religion," which is under attack by the "progressives" who hate our Constitution, freedom in general, and the rights of the individual. I implore those who value their religion, fear the Lord, and have a deep and abiding faith in God--not to sit this one out as many Black pastors in Maryland have chosen to do. Please join me in protecting the right of the Church and the Individual to define what marriage is for themselves, and not the government. Please say "no" to the Christian, Jewish & Atheist Socialists (progressives) who do not respect the Bible as authoritative on matters of Faith, and are trying to destroy the family and set up government in the place of God to get more votes with which to control us, and to antagonize our youth against the time-tested values that have brought humanity to its highest point in historical Liberty, and which have made this Union of Free and Independent States more successful and prosperous than any other nation or empire ever to exist on the face of the earth.

The CONSTITUTION provided for ending the Slave Trade. (Click for Video.)
June 25, 2010
I was in the audience for Glenn Beck's 2nd episode on our "Black Founding Fathers." A question came up about preacher Absalom Jones, who declared that the 1st day of January should be celebrated as a day of Thanksgiving for our children's children to remember a great event. That event was established in 1787 when Constitution was written. As can bee seen in Article I, Section 9 which limits the power of Congress, "The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight..." As in other sections of the Constitution such as the 3/5 clause, the "PERSONS" this section refers to were Slaves. As Abraham Lincoln debated in his Peoria Speech, "In 1807, in apparent HOT HASTE, they passed the law nearly a year in advance to take effect the first day of 1808--the very first day the Constitution would permit--prohibiting the African slave trade by heavy pecuniary and corporal penalties." It was also this clause in the Constitution that enabled Roger Baldwin and former President John Quincy Adams to successfully argue for the release of the rebelling Mende Africans who overthrew their captors and commandeered the Spanish Slave Ship, La Amistad. Our true heritage has been in front of us for years, but we have been taught by "Progressives" to resent where we came from, to be ashamed of the United States, to despise our forefathers, and so we have forgotten our roots.

April 15th is the date when Abraham Lincoln died of wounds inflicted by assassin John Wilkes Booth one day prior. The first Republican President, like so many after him, would find himself the victim of those who love neither liberty nor compassion, but only violence and death. James Garfield and William McKinley were also gunned down by assassins; those who attempted to kill Gerald Ford now walk free on U.S. soil; and the man who shot and nearly killed Ronald Reagan escaped conviction on a technicality. Since its founding by former Whigs, Free-Soilers, and Abolitionists committed to ending Slavery, the Republican Party has been slandered by Democrats and its presidents made the targets of those who hate freedom. We should never forget those who stood up to tyranny, racism, injustice, and fought and died so that we could be free.
Today, a Tea Party was held in D.C. David Gregory of "Meet the Press" declared that there are no Black people at these Tea Parties, joining Chris Matthews in such reckless remarks. Yet as I look at their shows, I don't see Black people there, either. Both of these men, as well as all of MSNBC's primetime lineup are white. Watch the video to see if there were any Blacks at Freedom Plaza. Also watch what SEIU thugs do to Blacks like Kenneth Gladney who believe as I do that there is no other option but freedom!!

Despite repeated protests, Tea Parties, Town Halls, and Scott Brown's election in Massachusetts, the "Progressives" (Socialists) in our government convened yet again for a "Healthcare Summit." I went to the Blair House this day to urge not only Democrats, but Republicans as well to uphold our Constitution and the 10th Amendment which prohibits government from making a law mandating we buy health insurance. The simple fact that the Constitution has been violated in the past is not reason to continue doing so. Please help me stand for you and for the Constitution by giving a much-needed boost to my campaign today!

Civil Disobedience: Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted.
January 27, 2010
In President Obama's first State of the Union speech, he re-emphasized his commitment to imposing Universal Healthcare upon the American People in violation of the Constitution. He demonstrated that he does not care about our rights. He demonstrated that the Tea Parties, the Town Halls, and even protests by prominent LIBERALS such as Keith Olbermann will not dissuade him from advancing the agenda of the "Progressives," much like an earlier progressive President, openly-racist Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Democrats have never hesitated to force people to do things against their will, from the days of Slavery to the present-day. They believe that government should be all-powerful and able to deprive you of your Wealth, your Faith, and your Civil Rights. It was a Democrat administration under LBJ who in 1966 charged Muhammad Ali with evading the draft and attempted to jail him for refusing to fight in Viet Nam. Democrats do not believe in Freedom: in fact they believe in just the opposite, and it is time the American People woke up to reality before the Liberty we've fought and died for is just a memory.

This is the day that our nation was ransomed & pushed over the brink toward socialism. Most people, even in Conservative Talk Radio, had gone home to prepare for the holidays. (Sean Hannity had said he would not go on vacation if the Senate stayed in session.) The Senate moved its vote up to 7am to prevent protesters from showing up in force. But I was there--alone at first, and a few others showed up later. I was stopped by Capitol Police 5 times for exercising my right to free speech. I quoted them the 1st Amendment and I continued to speak. They made me turn my megaphone away from the building, but I continued to speak. Then, they made me turn my megaphone off, but I still continued to speak. The most shocking moment was when an aide came out of the Capitol to relay the complaint that I was so loud the Senators could hear me inside! That was the whole point!! After voting to destroy our Republic, all of the Senators snuck out without being seen except Max Baucus, who had changed into street clothes and rode off in a chaufferred limo to enjoy the Christmas Holiday. I made sure he knew how I & over 57 million other American Citizens feel. We will let them all know how we feel in November!!

Keith Olbermann gives a special comment on Healthcare Reform. Though a far-left Liberal, Olbermann realizes the evil inherent in the Individual mandate. He challenges Barack Obama and the Senate not to pass the bill in its current form. He concludes with defiance: "I will not buy this insuracne. Brand me a lawbreaker if you choose. Fine me if you will. Jail me if you must!" Only time will tell if his words were sincere. For those of us who see any destruction of our liberties as unacceptable, tolerating the government mandate was never an option. What will Mr. Olbermann do when the bill passes? Will he go to jail with us?

Appearance on Glenn Beck's show "Time to Be Heard," featuring Black Conservatives. I am in the very last segment. In prior segments, too much time was spent in this episode talking about whether Blacks should be called "African Americans." Let the liberals on CNN & MSNBC have this argument. While the term, "African American" is technically incorrect (as there are many White Africans), we Blacks should never shun our African heritage. As Malcolm X said, "You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree...You can't hate Africa and not hate yourself."
Furthermore, what gets lost when you identify yourself solely as an "American" is pride & loyalty in your State. Our Republic was founded as a federation of Free & Independent States. We have lost this over the years as collectivists & nationalists have sought to centralize us in thought, endearing us to a political philosophy that supports perpetually bigger government that is supposed to always do more for the "greater good," whereas the needs of the Individual & the State are overlooked. Rome ceased being a Republic & became an Empire when its people embraced socialism. Many prominent Black thinkers have foolishly embraced the idea that Democratic Socialism (Progressivsim) is the cure to Imperialism. They are WRONG, as they have failed to examine what socialism has done to every nation which has tried it--turned it into a tyrannical despotism. Socialism is a step backwards away from Freedom & Independence, back towards Monarchy & Empire. The Founding Fathers understood this, which is why they gave us the Bill of Rights. The Constitution PROTECTS us from the government. If we do not prevent socialism from taking over the United States, we will lose our Republic and our Constitution and experience the same fate.

Today marks the 150th anniversary of John Brown's Raid on the Armory at Harpers Ferry, considered to be the catalyst which a year later would set America at war with itself and ultimately resolved the issue of Slavery.
Universal Healthcare is SLAVERY
Supporters of Universal Healthcare want to impose an individual mandate on all working Americans. By doing this, they are sanctioning slavery on the American People. On 09/09/09, President Obama addressed the Congress and the nation, stating that individuals would be required to purchase healthcare. Anyone who does not will be fined up to $1,900, thrown in prison, and fined an additional $25,000. This is a perfect example of government tyranny, and is more properly termed, "fascism." In any program designed to help others, there is always an option to withdraw or not participate. A person who doesn’t want to buy auto insurance can opt not to drive a car. A person who doesn’t want house insurance can rent instead of buying a house. In the case of healthcare, a tax is placed on the right to LIFE itself. We should remember that even the slavemasters of old were interested in the healthiness of their slaves. A person who cannot opt out is not free—he or she is nothing but a slave. Socialist programs like Social Security, Medicare, and the Draft all result in slavery or involuntary servitude. Now is the time to uphold the 13th Amendment by defeating Unconstitutional Healthcare.

The DC Council voted 12 to 1 on this date to recognize same-sex marriages from other States. Although this must pass the approval of Congress, the huge Democratic majority and a President who supports Civil Unions ensures that this measure will not be contested. This will pave the way for gay marriage in DC, and eventually in states like Maryland and Virginia. In the same week, Maine's governor, Jim Balducci, signed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage into law, while New York and New Hampshire are in the process of doing the same. Vermont's Republican governor, fearing for his political career, did not veto a similar bill last month, though many conservatives hoped he would. Also, gay couples in Iowa were able to marry, after having making it legal a month ago. The Stand 4 Marriage rallies were organized by Bishop Harry Jackson, Tony Perkins, and others who support traditional marriage.
On the other side of the nation, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was viciously attacked by Perez Hilton for answering a question in the Miss USA pageant in a manner that did not support the gay agenda. When asked if same-sex marriage should be legal, Miss Prejean respectfully and carefully answered that she believes marriage is between a man and a woman--that's just how she was raised. The firestorm that erupted afterwards was an all-out assault on the rights of the individual and free speech. There was a movement to strip Miss Prejean of her crown over charges that she had violated the terms of her contract by speaking out about her opinions after the pageant. The media also attacked her for taking revealing photos and having breast implants, to the point where a person who has cosmetic surgery or makes a few mistakes in life is never again allowed to have an opinion on moral issues. This is why our country has fallen to its current state--so few of us have the courage to stand up for what we truly believe. Despite these attacks, Miss Prejean courageously persevered and received warmth and encouragement from her supporters. Donald Trump and other members of the Miss USA Pageant decided the allegations were unjustified, and that she would retain her crown.
Meanwhile, California Representative and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked the Intelligence Community, and called the CIA Liars for indicating that she was informed that waterboarding was being performed, which would make her complicit in any allegations that the prior administration committed torture during enhanced interrogation of terror suspects.
It should be crystal clear that the tactics of the Democratic Party and the Left are ruthless, godless, and irreverent. Our rights are being stripped away, and any who dissent are methodically destroyed. A woman like Sarah Palin or Carrie Prejean who speaks for her God and her faith is a threat to them, to be subjected to endless scorn and shamed into silence. Any Blacks who oppose the "progressive" (socialist) agenda of the Democrats are either branded as "Uncle Toms" or are physically threatened, as Blacks and people of faith in California who voted for Proposition 8 banning gay marriage in California. Those among us who wish to keep our nation strong and preserve our rights should band together and work for the cause of FREEDOM by ensuring that in the next election and all elections to come, we make our voices heard in government. It's time to stop lying down and letting others who don't share our values decide how our nation will be governed. For if we do, we deserve whatever fate the anti-Capitalist, anti-Freedom, anti-Constitution Democrats impose upon is. We must begin a Revolution within our hearts and minds, and carry it forth into the streets!

GREAT NEWS! GREAT NEWS! GREAT NEWS! The citizens of California, Florida, and Arizona have voted to uphold traditional marriage in their states. In California, Proposition 8 passed by a vote of the People after an activist Supreme Court trumped democracy back in June and passed legislation from the bench. The People have spoken, and their will has been heard. Certainly, the battle is not over, but people of faith have stood up to the agents of Progressivism today, and shown them they cannot destroy the American way of life. We will have to guard and see if President-elect Obama and the Reid-Pelosi-Hoyer Congress will uphold our Constitution and our rights, or if they will go against the will of the People and the States as well. We should always remember our 9th and 10th Amendment rights!
