CLASSIC brainwashingJean Valjean Vandruff Brainwashing was foundational to the atheistic Communist and Nazi parties. It brought them to power and kept them in power until, at enormous expense in blood and wealth, they were militarily defeated. They believed, and proved, that something repeated incessantly, over and over again, will be believed. If people hear that the Jewish race is the cause of all their problems enough times – literal vermin that must be exterminated – most will become convinced that it's true, and eventually they will act on that belief, not questioning it. That is a perfect example of brainwashing, and it has happened, in this illustration, almost worldwide. Brainwashing has become common practice in the United States of America. The Democratic Party – which is actually the Socialist Party – is presently using it blatantly with one word, 'CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE.' That deafening demand for change does not refer to change from the socialist takeover of our nation, corruption in government, high taxes, insane government deficit spending, or from the stifling controls of government on free enterprise businesses. Their goal is to gain complete control of our nation: both houses of the legislature, the presidency, and the judiciary. They have done a fantastic job of destroying President Bush and the Republican Party ... with considerable help from both, to their own destruction. Both greatly departed from conservative principles, compromising themselves, caving in to the brainwashing ... let's just get along.America's CLASSIC brainwashing has been the claim, 'Separation of Church and State.' A perversion of that term has been repeated innumerable times until it is now generally accepted as absolute truth, and the results are proving to be catastrophic. The purpose of this discourse is not to elucidate the catastrophe of crime, corruption, immorality, a destroyed school system, family disintegration, etc. ... only its cause, so we move on. The entire basis for claiming Separation of Church and State were a few words stated by Jefferson when he was delivering an address at the Danbury Baptist Church, saying there was a wall of separation built between the church and the state. Yes, he did say it, but what he was saying has been turned 180° from what was intended. Jefferson, who regularly attended church services held every Sunday in the U.S. Capitol Building, in Washington DC – a perfect picture to prove the false, diabolical, application of that statement – was referring to the fact that churches were protected from their most dangerous enemy, government. That solid 'wall of separation (protection) was entered into the U.S. Constitution in the 1st Amendment, where it states, Quote: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof' The founders of our nation knew, first hand, the oppression that can come from government. Government is usually, worldwide, humanity's most dangerous enemy, and they were determined to rein it in. The first part of that simple, but profound wall of separation was to declare that there will never be a 'government sanctioned, a government favored, church' – not the Baptists, the Methodists, the Church of England, or any other institutional hierarchy. The second part of that wall of separation was that government was absolutely prohibited from restricting the freedom of exercise of religion, be it Christianity, Hindu, Catholicism, Muslim, or any other. Our nation was founded by Christians as a Christian nation, but it was determined to protect everyone's freedom to worship in whatever religion they desired. That protection worked for almost 200 years, until the Democratic Party's legal organ, the ACLU found a way, starting with the public schools, to brainwash America and destroy it. That wall of protection was to safeguard churches from government, not government from churches. Originally, church services were held in most public buildings, including the Supreme Court building in Washington and schools everywhere. The government authorized Christian chaplains in all military branches and the congress, held prayer before convening, took oaths on the Holy Bible, put 'IN GOD WE TRUST' boldly on every piece of currency, and many other testimonies of endorsement of God, the Ten Commandments, and his Holy Word. We have an election coming up soon, and you will have ONE more choice. Personally, I believe it can be the last. If the DEMONcrat Party gains control of all 3 (no, it's 4) branches of government, that will be the end of free elections. Things will be changed to ensure that they will never again lose control.
