Why You Should Cry Today on the First of May
FIRST OF MAY
Album: The Very Best Of The Bee Gees
(Written by Gibb)
The Bee Gees
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.

What Happens Next?
After the Supreme Court Imposes Same Sex
Marriage, You Will Lose Your Church
Obama's Solicitor General admits that the feds will treat orthodox
Christians like racists.
By JOHN ZMIRAK
Here’s what to expect after the US Supreme
Court unconstitutionally imposes homosexual marriage on all 50 states.
Orthodox American Christians will
fall to the status of dhimmis, the third-class
Christian citizens of sharia Muslim states. Those who
object to homosexual marriage will be classified as bigots and considered like
racists and be ostracized as dhimmis. Dhimmis have bare freedom of
worship, but pay special, heavy taxes and are excluded from any positions of
influence. They are not allowed to speak in the public square and have no
freedom of religion to express their opinions in public. They will be
subject to fines and imprisonment for “hate speech” if they are heard
criticizing sodomy or homosexual marriage.
Obama will target non-compliant churches. If the Supreme Court
votes against natural marriage, it will free up the
feds to aggressively target organizations such as the Catholic Church
and the Southern Baptist Convention. In theory, the feds might also take
aim at every mosque in America, but something tells me that the mosques are
likely to get a pass.
Churches will lose their tax-exempt status. If the court
imposes same-sex “marriage,” it will be exposing the churches attended by
the majority of Americans to sustained legal attack by the government and LGBT
advocacy groups such as the ACLU. Does that sound like crazy alarmism?
The Solicitor General of the United States agrees with me. Except that he is in
favor of it. Justice Samuel Alito asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli
whether acceptance of same-sex marriage would subject orthodox Christian
churches to the treatment once accorded Bob Jones University, which lost its
tax-exempt status because its ban on interracial dating contradicted federal
policy. Verrilli seemed a little taken aback, then answered yes, “it’s
certainly going to be an issue.” Remember that the Obama administration
has already tried to force these same churches to provide
abortifacients to their employees. Attacking their tax-exempt status over biblical
sexual ethics is peanuts next to that.
Most churches will close because of tax burden. In case you don’t
follow tax policy as a hobby, see Joe Carter’s detailed account of
the grave consequences this would have for churches. Put briefly, most
would close. Unless, of course, they caved. Imagine if
your house of worship needed to turn a hefty profit, so it could pay the same
taxes on its property and income as a casino or a strip joint — unlike Planned
Parenthood, since that abortion business is a tax-exempt (and
federally funded) “charity.” Imagine if none of the money you gave your church
were deductible from your taxes, unlike the money you sent to Greenpeace. Many
if not most religious schools and colleges would also shut their doors, unable
to pay the same business taxes as for-profit diploma mills. The
First Amendment won’t prevent any of this. When the dictates of a religion
conflict with what courts have ruled is a constitutional right, the church’s
claims give way every time.
Obama will create a two-tier system of
churches.
If the court hands the Obama administration the bully stick it is requesting,
it will be creating a two-tier system of churches in America — those that “obey
the Constitution” and those that don’t. The first set of churches, including
“mainline” denominations such as the Episcopalians, would enjoy benefits much
like those of “registered” churches in China. They have gleefully worshiped
Caesar, and so he will leave them in peace. He will continue their tax
exemption. He will even reward them with lucrative government contracts for
their charities. Expect many local congregations to leave the embrace of
“outlaw” conventions such as the Southern Baptist, and strike out on their own
with Caesar’s smile.
The Catholic Church in the USA will have a
schism.
With this much money at stake, I will be shocked if some Catholic bishops
don’t start performing same-sex marriages in their cathedrals. As we saw from
last year’s Synod on the Family, a surprising number of prelates seem
sympathetic to the practice. By American law, each diocese is sovereign, and
each bishop controls its property in a corporation quite independent of Rome.
(That’s why plaintiffs in sex abuse cases can’t sue the Holy See.) If a pope
deposed a bishop for violating church doctrine, and the bishop thumbed his nose
and stayed in place, American courts would very likely side with the bishop —
especially if the fight centered on a constitutional right, such as same-sex
marriage. A large slice of ordinary Catholics (like those picketing Abp.
Cordileone in San Francisco) would back any local bishop who defended “American
values” and “equality” against a suddenly backward, foreign pope. German
bishops have already threatened to flout Rome’s authority over communion for
the remarried — again, there’s money at stake, the German church tax — and it’s
not clear what power Rome has to rein them in. So expect an American Catholic schism.
What can you do?
When presidential candidates
come to our states to court us during the primaries — the only time
faithful Christians exercise any real leverage in this country — the issue of
same-sex marriage must now rival abortion in its importance. Any hopeful should
be pressed repeatedly to give a straight, unambiguous answer to this
question: “Do you
support a constitutional amendment restoring natural marriage? If not, then
what exactly will you do to protect my religious freedom? If nothing, why
should I support you?” We should
print that question on cards and distribute it in Iowa and New Hampshire, and
candidates should hear nothing else from us till they answer.
We need to know whether a
year from now we Christians will be living like Americans, or increasingly like
the suppressed Christians in China.

Obama-Soros Plan To Create Millions Of Democrat Voters Before 2016
Spread This Everywhere . . .
ALERT:
White House Teams Up With Soros for Disturbing 2016 Plan
Last year, as part of his imperial decree of amnesty for millions of
illegal immigrants, President Barack Obama created the White House Task Force on New Americans, the goal of which was
to vastly increase the number and rates at which immigrants were naturalized
and granted citizenship.
This task force works hand-in-hand with
the George Soros-funded Migration Policy Institute,
an open borders organization, as well as the openly racist group La Raza,
a Mexican nationalist organization that has called for the mass murder of white
Americans and a return of the western states to Mexico.
The task force is headed up by Cecilia Munoz, Obama’s domestic policy adviser,
who also used to serve as vice president of La Raza.
The name of La Raza, a group that
receives millions in taxpayer funding, means “The Race.”
Although the Obama administration has
claimed it lacks the money to deport illegal immigrants, it apparently
found enough to fund a marketing campaign targeting specific cities in swing states aimed at
encouraging swift naturalization and citizenship for immigrants.
One can’t help but notice the timing of
this action by the task force, just ahead of the 2016 election, as they push to
create as many new voters as possible, the majority of whom will be undoubtedly
be swayed to vote for whoever the Democrat nominee is.
According to The Daily Caller, this is
actually nothing new, but remarkably similar to a project launched in 1995
during the Clinton administration called Citizenship USA, which was run by
then-White House Director of Special Projects Rahm Emanuel.
CUSA’s main goal, in Emanuel’s own
words, was to “produce 1 million new citizens before Election Day” by relaxing
the rules, regulations and fees surrounding the naturalization and citizenship
process.
Although there was an incredibly damning
inspector general report after the fact, nothing much was ever done about it,
and evidence of voter fraud in the 1996 and 2000 elections was covered up and
ignored.
Essentially the same thing is happening
yet again, as the Obama team is seeking to flood the country with new Democrat voters, diluting the voter pool and
more or less disenfranchising conservative voters by cancelling their votes
with those of unconstitutionally naturalized immigrants.
The goal of Democrats is to create
as many new voters for their party as possible, new voters dependent upon the
government who will vote for the Democrat Party that helped them
stay in the country and draw benefits when they should have been deported.
These people are criminal and are
actively working to weaken and destroy the country in any possible way they
can.
