Miss USA California Responds To Gay Marriage Question at Miss USA Pageant

H/T to Trevor for all this info.

Miss California was asked what she thinks about legalizing gay marriage and she does not give the politically correct answer.

She was the runner-up. I wonder why?

I've included the video from the broadcast and the judges remarks after the show which he posted on youtube right after.

Journalism at It's Worst: "CNN Reporter Harassed at Chicago "Tea-Party"

This is possibly the worst piece of "journalism" I have ever witnesses. CNN should be ashamed and should make a public apology over this "reporter's" behavior.

However, I believe that CNN took up for this so-called "journalist" and said she "called it like she saw it".

Please!!!!! She was making news -- not reporting it!

If you don't mind the "grunt speak", Snooper gives his take if you click HERE.

Bostons Going to a Tea Party

If you see Pastor Ed and Annieb in Indianapolis at the Tea Party, give us a shout out. We are looking forward to this event and seeing Thomas Paine (Dr. Basso).

We will be taking pictures for the blog, and trying to get info for our BTR online show, but most of all we plan to enjoy being with hundreds or thousands of other Patriots who believe that the government is out of control.

We the people are taking to the streets and let me encourage all of you to do it in a manner that would be pleasing to God!

Heavenly Father,

Forgive us as a nation for turning away from you. Please bless us as You have so many times in our history. Help us to return to the ways of our Founding Fathers and to rely on You to guide us.

We pray this in the Holy and precious name of Jesus!

Amen

Glenn Beck "Let me tell you who I am"

submitted by Trevor:

Glenn Beck

FOX News host Glenn Beck opens up to his viewers about everything from his opinions on politics, faith in God and being a recovering alcoholic during a recent segment of his television program where he said. "The media is telling you not to trust me"

During this 15 minute segment Beck told his audience that the media is trying to make him look like "crazy person" and told his viewers that he was not doing this for ratings and when he first started it was "All fun" until it started to matter.

Here's the full video:





Also, here are the two video clips from the movie "Network" which were used during Glenn Becks segment above.

A Christian Music History Lesson

submitted by Trevor:

The year was 1982 and Christian music singer Amy Grant had a piano player in her band by the name of Michael Whitaker Smith. A struggling Christian songwriter needed a way to make some money so he agreed to be in the background as part of a band never wanting to perform himself.

One of his first songs he wrote was called "How Majestic Is Your Name", It was to be understood that the song would be recorded and released by a popular Christian artist at that time by the name of Sandi Patty.

However there were a few occasions where this songwriter would let Amy Grant (his boss) perform these songs. This video captured one of those moments.

Needless to say that this songwriter who played piano the background for a Christian band would soon be encouraged to go out on his own and perform his music. Thus Michael Whitaker Smith became Michael W. Smith and the rest was history.

The LORD truly works in mysterious ways.

NOTE: Watch closely you will see a very young Michael W. Smith playing piano and singing background vocals.

We the People Stimulus Package

We the People Stimulus Package

From the YouTube video by Bob Basso, as Thomas Paine

What would have happened in 1789 or 1942 or 9-11 if a top government official stepped in front of the people and publicly proclaimed America was a nation of cowards? He would have been run out of the country on a rail, packaged in tar and feathered, at least. But that’s what happened in two thousand and nine.

And you did nothing!

Have you become a nation of cowards, America?

In the greatest show of arrogance and disdain any congress every showed any citizenry, your dysfunctionally elite, self-interested, non-representing representatives passed the largest spending bill in history without reading it. And you did nothing!

You want them to obey your constitutional mandate and secure your borders. And they ignore you. You ask them to enforce your immigration laws. And they ignore you. You say stop the madness of handing three-hundred-billion dollars of a bankrupted Treasury to illegal alien welfare, rewarding them for making a mockery of your laws. And they ignore you.

And now in open defiance of the overwhelming will of the people are preparing more amnesty programs.

You say stop exporting my nation’s vital industry to foreign shores. And they ignore you. You say no to using your money to bail out failed, corrupt and greedy businesses. And they ignore you. You say implement the E-verify system so American jobs go to American workers. And they ignore you.

If your self-serving Congress were a business, they’d all be in jail now. The biggest traitors among you hold elective office. Only when they feel the almighty wrath of We the People, marching in the streets from California to New York, shouting “We’re mad as hell and we want our country back,” will they get the message they work for you.

Wake up America!

While you were playing with the toys of your consumer wealth you lost much more than your bloated economy of living beyond your means. You lost representative democracy. Your servants have become your masters.

Taxation without representation is tyranny. But still you look to government to solve problems they created in the first place. You’re sucking at the hind tit of a dead cow.

Why isn’t there a three-million-person We the People march on Washington, a nationwide taxpayers’ revolt, thousands of cars and trucks surrounding your nation’s capitol, bringing your failed government to a standstill?

Democracy doesn’t repress power, it unleashes it to we the people. Take it now! They dictated an economic salvation plan to you. Now it’s time to stick it to them with a We the People stimulus plan.

Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country to equally apply to Congress. Start by first removing the elite privileges that place your non-representing representatives above you, not with you. Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country to equally apply to Congress. Repeal Congress’s right to vote for their own raises. Balance the federal budget. Force your legislators to do what you now have to do – live within your means.

If you don’t, you’re committing national suicide.

Make Congress pay into the Social Security system. They make the laws for it. Now, they might be interested in thinking twice before allowing twenty million illegal aliens to reap the benefits of a retirement program the legal citizens paid into all their lives.

Long-term power corrupts. Limit Congress from serving more than two terms. That’s all you give your President. Let them search for their own 401(k) plan, instead of the gross unfairness of awarding them their full salary for the rest of their lives, after only serving one term. Stop paying for lawmakers’ insurance premiums. After all, they’re only part-time employees. They might pass some laws on insurance companies if they had to find one themselves.

Throw out of office every congressman and woman who didn’t bother to read the biggest spending bill in history before voting for it.

With the money you save from all of the above, put it into increased salary and benefits for the men and women of the Armed Forces. They never fail you.

Start no war unless you intend to win it. Make English the official language of America. You talk of united we stand, but do nothing to make it happen. Give every legal immigrant a chance to succeed. Not one cent of taxpayers’ money for illegal aliens. We are a nation of laws and do not reward lawbreakers.

Abolish the Electoral College and put the election of the President back in the hands of we the people.

Bring back universal service … two years in the military or two years in community involvement. Ensure your future. Rekindle the spirit of America. Service, honor and duty to country. Give your young people a chance to understand they are entitled to nothing they don’t earn.

Wake up America! You’ve allowed yourselves to become little more than cowering spectators watching the nation your grandparents built, the richest, most powerful, most self-sufficient republic in history with the highest standard of living any nation ever achieved, now in the middle of the greatest unprecedented decline in modern history.

The world’s only superpower can’t defend its borders, balance its budget, win its wars, manufacture its own products or protect its own currency. The total debt obligation in the next several years is approaching the gross domestic product of the entire world.

You’ve diminished the future of your children, grandchildren and 10 more generations of Americans.

On September 11^th, two thousand and one, three-hundred-million Americans put aside what divided them and rallied around what united them.. You proudly flew your flags, wore T-shirts that said “These colors don’t run!” Then your leadership told you to do nothing. Let your professional Army do the fighting. Perhaps you learned to do nothing too well.

Two-hundred-thirty-three years ago, the silent majority in Boston got fed up with taxation without representation and held a little tea party to prove the anger of We the People is on the march. It started the first American Revolution.

Now, it’s time to start the second American revolution.

Take an envelope, put a tea bag inside. Simple. Seal it and send it to your non-representing representatives in Congress. They’ll get the idea. We’re mad as hell and we want our country back.

Look in the mirror. There’s your leader. Phone your talk radio hosts. Call for a tax protest. Set your Internet communities on fire with the idea.

But if you decide to do nothing again, then buy a gun. You’ll need it.

My name is Thomas Paine. Don’t give up hope America. Your country needs a new greatest generation.

Answer the call. Get into the fight. It’s a good time to be a patriot. The second American revolution has just begun.

"The Best President Reagan Speech Ever!"

This was sent by our good friend Trevor......

God Bless this great man of God! Pray the people of this country will one day remember these words.

Hello "Do The Right Thing"! -- My Name Is Trevor

Hello "Do The Right Thing"! -- My Name Is Trevor

First off I want to say hello to everyone at the "Do The Right Thing" blog. The crew has offered me the chance to share my thoughts and to be an "adopted" part of their "Cyber Crew".

My political views are shaped by my faith in Jesus Christ. My faith in him shapes everything I believe in and do in my life. So you will hear alot about how faith plays a part in many of my posts here on this blog.

If it is alright with you I might from time to time post things on the lighter side such as a Christian music video or something if I feel the LORD put it on my heart. I might be younger then many of the crew on this blog but I see this as a good thing and I pray you do as well?

I want to share something with you in regard to what I thought of CPAC. I was very proud and yes even somewhat amazed at the impact of CPAC this year. I may be wrong here but I think this is one of the first times the main-stream media has covered as much as they did of this event.

Lots of things got my attention. Yes, there was Rush, Mitt and others but the one person who got my attention was the 14 year old conservative author Jonathan Krohn. He reminds me so much of myself at his age. He may be young but I think he could have a good chance at being a big force in the GOP if he stays on this path.

Although he only spoke for a few minutes he echoed my exact feelings I had around his age and what the basics of conservatism for me were.

I'm sure many of you have already seen his CPAC remarks so I am posting this video from this mornings FOX & Friends" broadcast.

God Bless to everyone and thank you for letting me be a part of this grassroots movement for conservative principles.

Nobama: We Are No Longer a Christian Nation

H/T to Mike Thayer for this email that got me to looking into this comment.


From a Dear Pastor friend of ours:

Dear Friends: As I was listening to a news program last night (Note: date of the original email is not clear) , I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride... we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .

As with so many other statements I've heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I'd see the day that I'd hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation--and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that.

How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.

I hope that each of you will do what I'm doing now--send your concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list.

With God's help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation!

Please pray for our nation!

Pray that God will give us CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP to guide our nation to be one nation under GOD.

End email.

Then there is this article, "Obama: America is 'no longer Christian' " at World Net Daily.

Here is a You Tube clip:




While Nobama's point of there being Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and non-believers who are a big part of this great and wonderful nation (my emphasis) is stating the obvious; giving the comments meant to take away the emphasis of America being founded upon and BEING a Christian nation is totally unacceptable (once again).

Latest from the Russell Brigade

Dear Brigade Member:

I want you to be the first to see our new television spot, "Defend the Heroes," which answers Congressman Murtha's public indictment of United StatesMarines. The video is a "worst of" highlight reel from his 2006 national media tour - much of the footage beamed the world hot spots in the Middle East.

As you may know, after a thorough military investigation, nearly all of the men Mr. Murtha accused of having "killed innocent civilians in cold blood" have been exonerated. Still, he refuses to apologize or correct the public record.

Friends, I'll fight for any citizen's right to speak, including Jack Murtha. But I also believe it's our obligation to correct the record when elected leaders stray from the facts.

That's what this ad is about - setting the record straight, and honoring true heroes.

We're asking Brigade Members like you to help us get this spot on the air. Would you please consider an immediate contribution of $100, $50 or even $25? We've set a goal of $200,000 by 9.11.08.

Thanks in advance for your help. It's time to answer Congressman Murtha.

For the Cause,

Lt. Col. William Russell
Candidate for Congress
12th Congressional District

P.S. In addition to your financial help, please forward this email to as many people on your address book as possible, and post the YouTube link on your personal blog or website. Thanks so much.

I Didn't Go YouTube Crazy

I'm not exactly sure what happened, but over the last couple of weeks I've tried to post several videos from YouTube, which didn't post on our blog. Last night, all of a sudden, those videos showed up here at Do The Right Thing.

Now I love each of the videos, and they are all still important, but the timing isn't as important as it would have been.

Any way, enjoy - I did!

Maria Sue Chapman (2003-2008)

Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed Wednesday night in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.

Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again. - Jim Houser (Manager)

Meet Maria

For those who never had the chance to meet this special little girl, we invite you to get a glimpse through this "goofy" blog video shot with her Daddy just two months ago. It'€™s a wonderful recording to help us remember Maria. We miss you so badly already. We'll see you soon Maria.

Obama on Iran

Thanks to Spree for the tip.

Do we want this person as our CIC? And how dare he even mention the name of Ronald Reagan. He and his 145 days experience (or whatever the actual number is). This video alone should exempt him from taking the oath of office!

He is off in so many ways in this one 1:45 snippet!

LTC William Russell For Congress

Please watch this video and then go to Colonel Russell's website: http://www.williamrussellforcongress.com/  and show your support. Let's send murtha packing for a trip back to PA with no return ticket needed.

New Feature at Do The Right Thing (Updated)

Doing a post entitled Win One For The Gipper, gave me an idea so I ran it past all of the contributors here at Do The Right Thing. Let me share the email and the responses.

I was on YouTube, and there are tons of great Ronald "The Gipper" Reagan videos. I was thinking of posting a series of them on the blog. I know there are a couple of schools of thought on this. Some think that there will never be (probably won't) another Gipper so quit bringing him up. Another (mine) is to keep fresh in people's minds what a true Conservative is.

Comments, suggestions, disagreements are all ok.

Cyber Pastor

From Dean:

CP,There was only one RR and though he is gone now viewing video's of him couldn't hurt anybody. For conservatives it would be refreshing perhaps to watch the man we all respect. He was a real character and a man of honor despite his human flaws, he overcame great obstacles to become one of our greatest presidents.In light of the current picks for WH residency a reminder of our basic core values may be in order to help us maintain focus. If nothing else it could give some of us hope during the next 4 years.A reminder of what we have lost might help us get it back. Just my $0.02. Dean

From NJ_GOP:

Oh like I guess we shouldn't bring up Abraham Lincoln ever again because we'll never have another one of those either. Hey, I know, we should dismantle the Lincoln memorial and replace it with condos.

From SFBert:

One of the benefits of a study of history is to remember the heroes (of both physical and moral courage) to helpthose of us in the present stay on the right track. Nothing at all wrong with watching the Gipper. After all, his rise wasn't without roadblocks and detours either. Might help some like me remember what is important and what's only a temporary set back. -- Bert

From Roger Metzger:

True national heroes seem kind of scarce these days ... I wouldn't be worried about giving President Reagan his due. A video series sounds like a good plan to me. Roger M

From Boaz:

Ronaldus Maximus was not perfect (gasp!) re: immigration and the amnesty thingie. BUT... he was as close as it gets to being right for the time, and would also be right for this time. He had a knack for being able to maintain a clear view of the big picture and not getting lost in the details. The American public have had pitifully few iconic politicians worthy of being remembered for what they were able to accomplish.


So, with all those great minds in agreement I've posted the first video already. I thought it was interesting that Carter is talking about government healthcare!!!!

Hope you enjoy.
