When we talk about the liberals in politics today we wonder where they came from.  The answer is they come from grade school right on through the halls of higher education.  These places of education have been systematically deprived of God’s influence and truth.

Abraham Lincoln said, “The Philosophy of the school room in one generation…will be the Philosophy of Government in the next.  Thomas Jefferson said, “A nation that refuses to teach its children right from wrong, good from evil, will become a corrupt nation, where sin prevails, evil abounds and children do as they please!” When those children grow up and become leaders, corruption and tyranny will become the norm.  America will move away from freedom to a state which has more control and restrictions on its citizens.  Are we seeing any of this today? 

Ben Franklin made this warning, “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.  As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”  Our future freedoms are directly related to public education which should include teaching of moral values.  From the time the Pilgrims landed in 1620 until the Supreme Court rulings of 1963, (a span of 343 years) School prayer and Bible reading was considered religious freedoms!  Why did this change?  I would like to validate my position with the following information. In 1636 Harvard College is founded by John Harvard, a Presbyterian minister. In 1693 Rev. James Blair establishes William and Mary College to train ministers. In 1699 Yale University was founded by 10 ministers.  In 1746 Princeton was founded by Presbyterians.  In 1769 Dartmouth College is established.  Of the first 108 colleges and universities founded in America, 106 were founded as Christian schools.  Over the course of time the Christian founded, Christian based schools have become bastions of liberalism.

In 1642, 1781, 1887, 1802, 1844, 1890 and 1925 the Congress and the Supreme Court made decisions and passed laws allowing reading the Bible in school and teaching morals and religious training.

In 1948 things started to change.  The Supreme Court rules time set aside for prayer in public schools is unconstitutional.  In 1962 the Supreme Court rules that children may not recite state written prayer in school.  In 1963 the Supreme Court bans individual school prayer and Bible reading in public schools. In 1980 Supreme Court rules that the 10 Commandments cannot be posted in classrooms because children may read them and obey them. In 1992 the Supreme Court rules clergy may not offer prayer at graduation ceremonies. In 2000 the Supreme Court rules student led prayer at football games is unconstitutional.

All of the schools in the beginning were Christian based in their teaching, using the Bible to a great extent.  This all started to change in 1948 with McCollum vs. Board of Education.  Even better known is the 1963 case of Murray v Curlett.  In this popular case a militant left wing atheist with close ties to the American Communist party named Madelyn Murray O’Hair filed a lawsuit against the school board of Baltimore After being defeated in the lower courts the case ended up in the Supreme Court.

To the surprise of many, the National Council of Churches and several Jewish organizations favored O’Hair’s case. Not a single Christian organization filed a brief to support school prayer. 

From this point on the government had basically free rein to change the message and method of teaching the future generations. God had been taken out of the schools and parents were slowly removed from the education picture. A process of dumbing down students was begun. Text books were changed to express liberal views.  Teachers taught students that there were no wrong answers, if it seems right to you its O.K… History that is taught was changed to comply with liberal points of view which meant students’ did not get a true and accurate account of American or World History which explains the misconception about our rights and freedoms today.  At this point a new term showed up. “Politically Correct.” Discipline was a thing of the past and eventually the campus became a battleground. I don’t have room on this blog for the whole story, but I hope you get the picture, or at least part of it. I want to leave you with this thought. The battle we are in is very real and critical. If you let the enemy take God away from you …… you cannot win!

God Bless

I thought I would give everyone a little insight as to who “The Poppy” is. First of all I am proud to say I am the “ Old Block” from which Patriot and Buzz were chipped. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and believe the Holy Bible to be the Word of God without error, God breathed and perfect. Although many disagree with my calling God’s Word the instruction book for man, I believe when all else fails read the instruuctions.

I am now and always have been , proud to be an American and a flag waver. I think even with all Her problems there isn’t anywhere else I would want to be. I believe if you don’t vote you are giving  up one of your basic freedoms, and if you don’t take the time to vote then you just  ought to keep your mouth shut about what needs to be done to solve our problems, because you aren’t doing anythhing!!!

I am married to a wonderful lady who is still my girlfriend and I am deeply in love with her, and yes I even like her after 43 years. If you haven’t guessed I don’t approve of the marriage standard for today’s society, get married and if we don’t like it get a divorce. I believe  marriage is ” one time for a lifetime.”

The last things you should know are as follows; I am honest, blunt, to the point, give my opinion when asked, sometime when not asked. I can be your friend or adversary, but believe things should be kept calm and civil at all times. I will close with Romans 12: 18 ” If it is possible,as much as depends on you , live peaceably with all men.”

God Bless you All

Hello and greetings to all of our fans and listeners out there.  This is Buzz and I just wanted to first off thank each and everyone of you that make our show a sucess each week, secondly I would like to say that it is unfortunate that I will be missing this weeks taping of the show due to illness

I love the show and am very dedicated to it’s future but I have a bad chest and bronchial cold that would keep me from talking for prolonged periods of time or doing my voices.  I do not want to get the other Garage Kings sick either so I must refrain from participating this week.  I will miss all of you listeners out there and look forward to a speedy recovery for the next show.  The good news of all of this is we here at the Garage are looking in to doing a couple of different 15 minute shows throughout the week done by each member.  My segment would be called the Weekly Buzz.  WOW, cool a 15 minute show with your host…..ME…haha.  Well God Bless each and every one of you and remember, stick to your morals, trust God in everything, Liberals and Liars both begin with L and mean the same thing, and most importantly listen to Garage Politics.  Actually God is most important but that was my punch in for the show.  Take Care.
