‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Nancy Pelosi Abandons Halloween For Kwanzaa

December 14, 2012

Typically I would be more inclined to believe Nancy Pelosi would associate herself with Halloween rather than a fake seasonal holiday like Kwanzaa. Celebrating the day of the dead, ghosts, skeletons, ogres, witches, teeming caldrons, and broomsticks would seem to be more in keeping with her character, behavior, and, yes, her looks, as well.[quote style=”boxed” float=”left”]Al Sharpton said it performs the valuable service of “de-whitizing” Christmas.[/quote]

But since she has injected herself into the realm of a faux holiday like Kwanzaa, I think it only right that I address her complaint.

Pelosi is feigning insult in a brazen attempt to foment racial discord: claiming that the GOP has a lack of concern for Kwanzaa. Seeing that the only thing the GOP has been successful at in recent years is losing presidential elections, if Pelosi’s lies were true, I would count the GOP having no concern for Kwanzaa a victory for reasonable minds.

Truth be told, I would feel better if no one had any concern for the phony observance. Why should America be forced to observe a made-up holiday conceived in the mind of a racist liar, who savagely beat and tortured women? That little point obviously doesn’t matter to Pelosi. To her the savagery inflicted upon at least two women, is trumped by the opportunity to foment racial anger. After all, why would Pelosi care about two black women viciously assaulted by the racist, heathen, black Marxist who invented a make-believe holiday that she can use to falsely malign white people?

Since there are times that it is difficult to improve on something I’ve said before, I thought the easiest way to explain why we shouldn’t give a rat’s tail about Kwanzaa was to reprise an article I wrote which was published December 30, 2003.

There was a time in the recent near past that all one needed to do to bilk a church or Christian organization was to say “praise the Lord, the Lord told me …” or “the Lord has revealed to me …”

Those words, or any combination thereof, were enough to get the snake charmer the keys to the treasury. And many a church’s treasury has been pillaged through the use of such cunning.

Yet that is exactly what Ron N. Everett, Paul Scott and their votaries are guilty of.

Ron Everett, also known as Maulana Karenga, is the creator of Kwanzaa. Scott is a minister and founder of New Righteous Movement.

Scott’s ignominious claim to fame is his perspective of Jesus. He has been quoted as saying, “The image of a white man portraying the Messiah is more dangerous to black children than gangsta’ rap.”

Forgetting color for a moment, how can a man who says, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised” (Luke 4:18), be more dangerous to black children than “gangsta’ rap”?

Snoop Dogg, whose lyrics include oral sex, pimps and whores; R. Kelly arrested for allegedly having sex with underage girls and videotaping the same, including reported footage of his using a minor for bathroom practices; Ice-T, the pimp-gangster turned rapper turned actor-rapper, whose lyrics include killing cops; Suge Knight, gangster, convicted felon – these people are less dangerous than a white Jesus?

Black illegitimacy is at 70 percent and black-on-black crime numbers are frightening. In black urban communities drugs, guns, illiteracy and HIV are at staggering levels, and this “minister” is worried about the color of Jesus?

Everett invented Kwanzaa in 1966, as a black alternative to Christmas. His idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered Christmas-season exploitation of blacks.

Al Sharpton said it performs the valuable service of “de-whitizing” Christmas.

Were his racist sensibilities offended because blacks participated in yuletide cheer, or was it that he saw an opportunity to capitalize on a bogus holiday? Kwanzaa not only has no roots in Africa, it is not celebrated anywhere in Africa. It is a complete fabrication from the mind of Everett.

Everett said, “I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods would be partying.” “Bloods” is a ’60s California slang term for black people. (Paul Mulshine – Happy Kwanzaa, Dec. 24, 1999).

Businesses in America, however, celebrated it to the tune of mega-millions of dollars in Kwanzaa sales each year. So much so that the International Black Buyers and Manufacturers Expo and Conference, sent a scathing letter to firms like Hallmark Cards and Giant Food telling them to stop selling Kwanzaa-related products. The organization found the sale of Kwanzaa products by non-black enterprises “arrogantly exploitative of the culture of African people.” They found “it insulting and disrespectful to the actual spirit of Kwanzaa.”

How do they justify their actions against Everett’s words?

While I may wonder how Italians feel about black-owned stores selling spaghetti, the bigger question is Everett, himself, and how a he landed in the position he now holds.

In 1971, Everett was sentenced to one to 10 years for brutally assaulting two of his (black) followers. After forcing them to strip, they were beaten with an electrical cord and a karate baton. He put a hot soldering iron in the mouth and against the face of one of the women and crushed the big toe of the other woman in a vice. He then put detergent and running hoses in their mouths.

Christmas is singularly a Christian celebration commemorating the birth of Christ. All other aspects are purely perfunctory. Self-segregation – whether the work of a lost minister or Ron Everett, now a Marxist and a professor at California State University at Long Beach and the chairman of the Black Studies Department – serves only that master with that doctrinal whip.

Feel free to forward this Daily Rant to Pelosi and her staff. Maybe they’ll understand that we don’t want the GOP concerning themselves with lies and fraudulent activities, unless it involves impeaching Obama and throwing her and her broom collection out of our office buildings.
