Inspirational Film For Freedom Lovers: "For Greater Glory"


For Greater Glory is a must-see film for liberty lovers. The story is a 1920's mirror of what is happening in America today ... self-described "progressive" politicians forcing their intellectually-derived values on everyone in the country "for their own good," meanwhile people who feel their spirit rise up and say "Stop!"

No President of Mexico was ever more Obama-like than Plutarco ElĂ­as Calles, a Utopian ideologue determined to force people to live according to so-called "progressive" values rather than their own choices. As one element of his government's Utopian dictatorship his federal troops engaged in secular anti-religious campaigns to eradicate what they labeled "superstition" and "fanaticism." When they tried to wipe out the Catholic Church, it was the last straw for 50,000 brave Mexicans who decided freedom was worth fighting for.

The movie's trailer broadcasts: "When freedom is outlawed, free men become outlaws." A people's fight for freedom is always led most successfully by those who feel and cherish their spirituality. See Thomas S. Kidd's outstanding history works God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution and Patrick Henry: First Among Patriots.  The most successful leaders of this Mexican fight for freedom were JesĂşs Degollado (a pharmacist), Victoriano RamĂ­rez (a ranch hand), and two priests, Aristeo Pedroza and JosĂ© Reyes Vega.

Unfortunately, as with all attempts by men and women to use government force for goals believed to be "progressive," President Calle's campaign resulted in untold misery,  in this story 56,882 deaths on the federal side, 30,000 dead Cristeros freedom fighters, and many Cristeros and civilians killed in government raids after the fighting officially ended.

All who feel their spirit craving for liberty should become thoroughly acquainted with the details of this Cristero War (also known as Cristiada).  There are great lessons to be learned both positive (federal troops coming over to the side of freedom fighters) and negative (government betrayal of truce agreements).  The film For Greater Glory, starring Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria, music by James Horner, will inspire you.


To understand the evil psychology of modern "liberal progressives," read Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"






"God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their laws CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD TOGETHER. The laws of God work only for your good, and there ARE no other laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawLESS, and therefore chaotic." -Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles

Libertarian Mantra Exposes Obama Cruelty

President Obama has no choice but to offer you up as a sacrifice to his god.  His worship of the illusion that there can be a "common good" for society which transcends the good of individuals in the society demands your sacrifice. Yet libertarians fiddle. Are you amazed that libertarians blab about marijuana while the economy of the entire world is crashing?  Are you astounded that libertarians nit-pick about bedroom issues while the entire populace is being reduced to slavery?   Many libertarians spend their time forever addressing puny little issues which (a) make them look to the public like petty teenagers, and (b) serve only to side-track the public’s thought from an infinitely more important underlying truth. Okay, let's suppose you want to do some real good for the libertarian cause.  How about addressing  the one and only truly meaningful issue?  Maybe a little story would illustrate what libertarians should be talking about. One upon a time there was a

Ayn Rand and Jesus Christ: Deep Similarities

Ayn Rand's intellectual genius was great, but far greater still was her willingness to tune in to her spirit, feel her spirit, live by her spirit, and write from her spirit. Her spirit has moved millions. "When I studied Atlas Shrugged I was inspired to change the direction of my life totally. I literally owe my life to Ayn Rand." How many times have we heard a statement such as this? The quality in a fictional work which can change someone's life so dramatically is not the intellectualism of the work, but the spiritual foundation on which the intellectualism is built. Intellectualism without a spiritual base is a painful torture which ultimately leads to terror and death, as Ayn Rand so perfectly illustrated with her fictional characters. But intellectualism which arises out of being in touch with one's spirit is a very different story, as those of us know who have read Atlas Shrugged . Ayn Rand's heroes are fond of saying their antagonists are "mindles

Libertarianism Coming On Strong?

"Americans are increasingly opposed to activist government programs. The most significant social movement of 2009, the Tea Party protests, grew out of that opposition. Libertarian heroine Ayn Rand is as popular today as ever. Rand's brilliant and radical laissez faire novel "Atlas Shrugged," sold roughly 300,000 copies last year, according to BookScan, twice its sales in 2008 and roughly triple annual sales in recent decades." - Conservative Libertarianism's Comeback by David Paul Kuhn The above article would have us believe that a growing resurgence in libertarian sentiment is a "backlash" reaction to the Democratic Party's move into full-fledged fascism. Certainly there is some truth to this, but it cannot be the whole story. Franklin Roosevelt's fascism was far more inclusive. FDR's brain trust had almost to a man visited Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union and liked what they saw . In the Roosevelt Administration there was a
