Democrat Rob King

Friends, the next 24 days will prove decisive.

If the switch to the Democrat side of the Political spectrum "pays off" (I was, after all, raised as a staunch Jimmy Carter fan from 1976 - 2007 and always will be . . .), then I could very well become the next President of the United States of America.

Consider the 'facts' . . .

At Davidson College, my regular colleagues (sometimes friends even) were literally the sons of Senators. From Senator Strom Thurmond's son, Strom Thurmond Jr. (actually a much nicer man than his Dad!) to Secretary of the Navy's son John Dalton I was surrounded by the political elite. In fact, when I got to Notre Dame to study Ethics & Church History, it was a Davidson grad who befriended me. His name was George Brinkley and he was a professor of Condoleeza Rice when she attended Notre Dame to study Political Science.

At Duke University, again I was blessed by Divine Providence to meet and become a pupil of my Theological Mentors, Dr. Geoffrey Wainwright (a friend of John Paul II) and Dr. Stanley Hauerwas (recently named Time magazine's "Best Theologian in America").

At the University of Notre Dame, I studied Church & State relations, studied at the Law School, researched at the Law School, and then eventually settled into teaching philosophy, critical thinking, religious studies, cultural diversity and Christian ministry.

During 2005, I first began making 'political connections,' first with Bernice King, daughter of M.L. King, Jr. Next, I attended the Leadership Institute (traininge center that produced Karl Rove) and finally attended Chaplain's Officer Basic Course just as George W. Bush and other Presidents have similarly served in either the Reserves or National Guard in order to gain a practical understanding of the U.S. Military (2006 - 2007 is when I attended Political & Military Training).

Currently, I teach and am scheduled to continue teaching Applied Ethics at a state college. In this role, we have examined the thought of Justice Antonin Scalia, have talked endlessly about Constitutional rights and protection of Freedom and the American "way of life," and are set to (in our respective spheres) make a difference in turning this country back around.

But, I am only one man. Like Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, I come from a Christian Activist background, and as such I have suffered like Mr. Mandela has for our shared Christian convictions. Due process under law. Equal Rights for ALL citizens. Protection of religious freedom.

So, if you wish to see a good, honest man serve then please begin the process.

Love in Jesus Christ,
Rob King '08 undeclared

Get up, Stand up, Stand up for your rights!

I just received an e-mail from an African American Activist network about racism being subtly overlooked at a school in the South. A mock "lynching" symbol was placed on school property and little is being done about it.

Bob Marley, the great reggae musician (the Father of reggae actually) has this great song that says, "Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights . . ."

I don't know about you, but I am plain sick and tired of my rights being trampled!

I am sick and tired of children being stolen from their God-fearing homes by secular humanist America with its psycho-therapeutic witch-doctors (Freud, the grandpa of modern psychology labelled religious belief itself as "delusional" which would make 90%+ of the world's population "mentally ill.").

I am sick and tired of the Federal Government snooping on we ordinary American citizens. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had wire-taps on his telephone. Now, I have even had a freemason grandmaster one time "threaten to call Dick Cheney" on me because as a Spirit-Filled Catholic Christian I am opposed to masonry.

I am sick and tired of lack of due process under law in the United States of America. The rich can afford lawyers and so they are "above the law." The poor, whether African American, Anglo, Hispanic, Asian, et al cannot afford such legal representation and so the legal system literally rapes us.

I am sick and tired of a Democrat Party that makes high-sounding promises, but then once elected looks little different from the conservatives in the Republican Party. It's all about the money on both sides of the political spectrum.

I am sick and tired of a Republican Party that stands for absolutely nothing other than who will line their pockets.

FOR JESUS, FOR THE PEOPLE, FOR NATURAL LAW RIGHTS UPON WHICH OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION IS BASED

Comfort, Safety and The Role of the Military

Lately, I have been increasingly grateful for the role that our military has historically played. I recently finished a book written by Senator John McCain called Faith of My Fathers in which Senator McCain recalls the many daring maneuvers that his grandfather and father made during WW II in order to protect FREEDOM from Nazi aggression and Japanese Imperialism. From staying submerged on a U.S. submarine for as absolutely long as back-up electrical power would hold (in order to avoid detection by enemy Japanese ships) to bravely equipping the Marines in the Pacific with much needed supplies in order to hold on to key strategic positions, the McCain Family was quite adept at out-maneuvering the Japanese.

Fast forward to 2007. Whereas the enemy of the U.S. in 1945 was pretty straight forward (Germans who butchered 10 million people in gas chambers and concentration camps), today the "enemy" is less noticeable.

Sadly, not only do we have Islamic infiltration in the domestic U.S. (some of the 9/11 hi-jackers actually trained at flight schools right here in the state of Florida . . .), but we also have many hidden dangers within our very own Federal Government. Abuses of due process under law. Military leaders who can be corrupt. War profiteering by the Vice President.

Our enemies to the U.S. Constitution truly are foreign and now domestic.

In spite of this murky situation as a super-power crumbling (i.e. out-of-wedlock pregnancies, rampant drug use, sky-rocketing divorce rates, etc.), we nevertheless are being shown mercy by the LORD Almighty. I can comfortably go to the public library and check out a book written by a Supreme Court Justice and read it without fear, unlike places like communist China. I can similarly walk to Starbuck's coffee shop, bring my Bible and openly read the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ and even share the Gospel with other people openly, seeking their conversion, unlike places such as Tehran, Iran.

We live in a free country, but more importantly a country with a strong heritage of Jewish and Christian teaching, law and culture.

Thank you Senator McCain for faithfully upholding and defending this Nation's Judeo-Christian identity.

Petreaus, Power, and Foucault

Knowledge is power. According to Michel Foucault, post-modern French philosopher, whomever controls the "categories" of knowledge can essentially control the world.

Economically, whomever can know when to buy low and sell high can quickly out-position others in the market so that the wealth literally flows toward them, rather than away from them. Bill Gates of Microsoft was able to "out-think" the competition by coming up with the brilliant idea of including "bundles" of software in one package so that he could produce his "set of products" at a lower overall price than buying operating systems that were separate from Internet explorers, etc.

Militarily, whomever can out-think their opponents has also won. Iraq is a dead-end for the United States now, and so General Petreaus' idea of doing more with less is actually a BRILLIANT idea. My own suggestion is in the projected troop draw-down to maintain special forces presence and numbers and then consolidate the major bases into more easily defensible zones thereby easing the burden placed on the troops who will be deployed there to replace the troops who are coming home.

Politically, whomever can out-think their opponents has also won. Barack Obama, although a dashing young African American leader would have been a horrible President because he is not able to out-think Hillary Clinton. Every move Obama makes, Hillary quietly has Obama's number and already has functionally eliminated him from the race. Check-mate Obama, Hillary is a better chess-player than you are.

So, if you wish to win at the game of life, NEVER allow yourself to be defined by your adversaries. Sure, they may label you something that you are not, but never allow such a label to stick. In College Football I quickly learned that the enemy could easily look at his depth chart and see "Rob King, Offensive Center, 6'O" 212 pounds" and then he would label me a lightweight. Of course, after having shattered the knee of one 300 pound nose-guard, such statistics soon came to be regarded as much more irrelevant than "Rob King, 340 pound bench press, 605 pound squat and 275 pound power clean" (in other words, although only 212 pounds, I had an "Arnold Swartzeneggar-type physical body" and could even hang with our own Davidson College nose guard, a 300 pound Behemoth who was even looked at by the NFL (at 300 pounds, we would always "battle to a draw . . .").

So, if you want a Candidate who will not crumble under pressure, if you want a Candidate who can actually outsmart Hillary, go for Davidson College, Duke University and University of Notre Dame, not just some guy who may look nice in a suit and tie. Otherwise, there will be a whole new Clinton enterprise in 2008. Even Karl Rove seems to think that it is Hillary vs. the G.O.P. Candidate . . .

How to LEAD when others think they know it all . . .

It must be extraordinarily difficult to be President of the United States. Back in March 2003 when President George W. Bush sent our Nation on the warpath (ill-advised as Pope John Paul II stated at the time), his approval ratings were at an all-time high.

War does gets one's adrenaline pumping.

Well, now here we are four years later, still at war in Iraq, and the People of the United States no longer desire war.

Fickle people we Americans are. One moment we desire war and listen to the anti-Sadaam Hussein propaganda, but now in 2007 even President George W. Bush himself made a passing allusion to Iraq being similar to Vietnam.

So how is one to lead a Democracy?

After all, even the first world democracy, the democratic state of Athens, after it was founded eventually ostracized and even exiled the Nobleman Cleisthenes who helped to found Athenian democracy!

Well, rather than fickle democratic regimes (something that Plato even critiqued in The Republic), the truest form of government should be a Divine Right Monarchy, especially as this form of Christian Government is a direct instantiation of the Kingship of Jesus Christ.

But, since we live in a Republic that is pluralistic, supporting everything from Buddhism to Islam to Mormonism to Classic Christianity, Divine Right Monarchies would not be well-received right now. So, I guess the U.S. Constitution will have to do for now, at least prior to Jesus' Return to earth.

Thus, since we are no longer a Christian society, nothing really holds us together. We have no common morality. We have no common concept of law even. All we have are shards of a by-gone era. With these shards, the ghosts of our Christian past, we will now have to re-build. Whereas places like Mexico and Korea will remain Christian, we will be continually arguing with each other, suing each other, dragging each other into divorce court, and essentially destroying ourselves until Jesus comes again.

So, if you want a different choice, try Jesus out for a while.

Blessings in Jesus,
Rob J King, Candidate for Jesus only

The King Ultimatum . . .

The other night, I went to see my all-time favorite movie character "Jason Bourne" in the third movie in the series called The Bourne Ultimatum.

For fantasy and conspiracy buffs, such a movie is a MUST SEE!

I won't ruin any of the details of the movie except to say that this movie series concerning the ficticional former C.I.A. agent "Jason Bourne" is illustrative of how our Federal Government, its recent surveillance campaigns and secret "inner workings" are increasingly being viewed by a majority of the United States of America's population.

Our people as American citizens simply no longer trust their own government, and sadly, with the exception of fellow Republicans such as John McCain and myself, the Democrats simply are right about many key issues.

No, surveillance of the American people without warrant is NOT Constitutional.

No, the different branches of government (e.g. the Vice President's Office) ARE to be held open for review by the other branches.

No, killing by our Nation state for a murky set of political and economic reasons (cheap oil!) is NOT a just war.

So, here it is, as an ultra-conservative Bible-believing Evangelical, the following points are what I call "The King Ultimatum."

First, ALL three branches of Government, Judicial, Legislative and Executive MUST be open for review by the other branches.

Second, NO, the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. are not to be used for seeking to wrongly "criminalize" the other side (Democrat or Republican) for partisan political reasons.

Third, the military should be withdrawn from Iraq IMMEDIATELY and replaced with more highly skilled "black op" operatives (not Army Reserve nurses or public school teachers turned soldiers!) in assisting Iraq in its transition to a multi-cultural modern Nation State.

Fourth, government surveillance of ordinary American citizens must cease immediately.

Thank you for your time.

Blessings in Jesus, the ONE Who sees and Knows ALL,
Rob J King, the new "Jason Bourne" Presidential hopeful
