"All comes out even at the end of the day"

2/11/2018

"If a government has no moral scruples, it often seems to gain great advantages and liberties of action, but 'all comes out even at the end of the day, and all will come out yet more even when all the days are ended.'"

-- Winston Churchill, The Gathering Storm

Churchill wrote these wise words in his great history of World War II, specifically in reference to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-Agression Pact, which, via its secret protocols, enslaved the Baltic States and carved Poland into bloody pieces.

Within a few short months, Stalin paid dearly for this most cynical and cold-blooded of all agreements between nations. More than twenty million Russians were to perish in the holocaust which ensued.

Ultimately, Hitler paid for it too, with everything, including his own life. Germany was crushed in a vice from East and West, and was left in total ruin, occupied for decades by its enemies.

But, the greatest irony of all was to wait half a century, when the Baltic States used the illegality of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as the basis for its own bid for liberty from the Soviet Union, a successful bid that ended ultimately with the breakup of that evil empire.

No matter how things may appear, the Almighty remains completely in control.

Always, the only wise course for men, or for nations, is to do the right thing, no matter how things might look, and to leave the results to God.

“This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.”

-- Daniel 4:17

Abolish abortion?

8/27/2017

Tom Hoefling

In terms of God's law, what the founders of our republic called 'the laws of nature and nature's God,' ABORTION IS ALREADY ABOLISHED. His strict command, 'you shall not murder,' contains no exceptions based on the age of the victim, or anything else. No murder means no murder, period.

Our founders rightly asserted this as self-evident truth in our national charter, the Declaration of Independence. All men are CREATED equal, and are endowed by their Creator, from the moment of their creation, with the unalienable right to live. 'That to secure these rights," starting with the right to life, 'governments are instituted among men...' Fundamentally, abortion is a coup d'etat against legitimate government, which means that ABORTION IS ALREADY ABOLISHED.

In terms of all of the stated purposes of our Constitution, the supreme law of our land, ABORTION IS ALREADY ABOLISHED. Among other things, that great document exists, it says, to 'establish justice,' and to 'secure the Blessings of Liberty to our Posterity.' Nothing is more unjust than to murder somebody. And you can't secure Blessings to a Posterity you've annihilated.

And the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments to that Constitution absolutely require equal protection under the law for the right to life of every innocent person, in every state in the Union. No exceptions.

Abortion is completely immoral and absolutely unconstitutional. Therefore it is NOT legal. It is ALREADY ABOLISHED.

Courts have no legitimate jurisdiction to violate the natural moral law or to violate the Constitution. They also have no constitutional authority to make laws. So, in terms of any involvement by the judiciary in this life and death matter, ABORTION IS ALREADY ABOLISHED. Any court opinion to the contrary is a legal nullity. That means it does not exist, in the true legal sense.

So, what does that leave that needs to be abolished? State and federal code sections that in any way grant governmental permission to abort/murder babies. In other words, almost all of what has been put into the statutes, at both the state and the federal levels of government, by regulationist "pro-life" Republicans over the course of the last half century. Any code section that, in effect, ends with 'and then you can kill the baby.'

Finally, more than anything else, what is absolutely necessary is that we put men and women in executive offices who will actively provide equal protection for the right to life of every innocent person, as their solemn oaths require. In other words, executive officers who will again put God's law, and the natural law, and our Constitution, into practical effect, no matter what lawless judges, or oath-breaking legislators, choose to say or do.

Christians, please don't help destroy the American republic with unfettered immigration

8/8/2017

Tom Hoefling

The proponents of completely unfettered immigration make the often-strident demand that those who disagree with them provide scriptural support for their position. While I can easily provide such support (if given the chance without being personally abused to no end while attempting it), in fact the burden of proof is on them to prove their extremely radical, revolutionary, functionally-internationalist proposition.

The right and duty to defend life, liberty, and private property, to protect ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation, is self-evident and intrinsic, and has always been understood to be so, throughout the history of mankind, throughout the history of western Christendom, and, most particularly, throughout our own national history.

In 1772, Samuel Adams rightly called this intrinsic right and duty "evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature."

When God commanded "you shall not steal," He used the negative to highlight the positive fact that He had endowed men with private property rights.

When God created the nations, and marked out their times and territorial extent, He didn't suddenly decide that it is permissible to steal, as long as you do it on a grand, national scale.

Generally-speaking, nations are bodies of people who share a natural common bond of heritage and history, of language, of manners, of religion, of political, economic, and security interests, and of physical territory.

As a sovereign body of individuals who have joined themselves together, those nations have a right to defend themselves, and, in the interest of the weak and helpless among them, and in the interest of their own posterity, have an intrinsic duty to do so.

And that necessary nationalistic, self-protective, defensive function, which was appointed by God Himself, shall not cease until the Lord Himself returns to rule and reign personally.

It's not a perfect system, not by a long shot, governed as it is by weak, sinful men. It's very messy and deeply flawed, even in the best cases. But it is one of the necessary, God-instituted restraints on evil in this fallen world full of fallen men.

Remove those restraints, remove those moral boundaries, remove those physical borders, and the only thing that can ensue is destruction.

"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth...From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being...'"

-- Acts 17:24-28

Stop trying to undo what God did. Providentially, this amazing American republic exists, for your own protection and the protection of your children and grandchildren. Defend it. Don't blithely turn your heritage, and the heritage of your earthly posterity, over to those who would invade and destroy us.

We know from scripture that in the end of history, all of God's restraints on men will finally be broken down, to their mass destruction. But, in the meantime, America can continue to be a peaceful place for men and women to seek the Lord, to take care of their families, and can still serve as the wonderful platform it has been throughout the last several centuries to take the gospel to the rest of the world. Inevitably, its destruction must someday come, but Christians should not be willing agents of that destruction. They should instead help ensure its preservation as long as they possibly can.

The judicial oligarchs will take an oath they can't keep -- TOM HOEFLING

12/21/2016

Tom Hoefling

Almost none of those who will be sworn into office next month in Washington, DC understand what sort of government we are supposed to have under our Constitution. They think we live in a judicial oligarchy instead of in a republic with required constitutional checks on arbitrary, illegitimate power.

Why is this so?

Because almost none of those who elected them understand what sort of government we are supposed to have under our Constitution, and even among those who actually know, a large percentage of them are willing to sacrifice morality and constitutionality on the altars of abject fear and perceived political expedience.

They say that a fish rots from the head down, and in America the sovereign body of the people are the head.

Our sovereignty is rooted in God's Sovereignty -- TOM HOEFLING

12/21/2016

Tom Hoefling

A people that scoffs at the Sovereignty of God will inevitably lose their own sovereign ability to govern themselves in liberty. Hatred of God, and the denial of His natural moral order, can only produce tyranny, destruction, abject poverty, and servitude.

Without this understanding you know nothing about America, or how to save it -- TOM HOEFLING

12/21/2016

Tom Hoefling

To truly understand the essence of the concept of UNALIENABLE rights, and therefore to truly understand the essence of the American republic and our national claim to self-government in liberty, you have to first understand that you are entitled to absolutely NOTHING that God hasn't given you title to, and that even if God gives you title to something, it's only as a tenant.

As the Sovereign, eternal, absolute Owner of everything, He can repossess anything He's lent you - including your very life itself - whenever and however He pleases, while remaining perfectly righteous, holy, and just in doing so.

But, as long as you are His lawful tenant, living within His legitimate grant of tenancy, no other man can rightfully, legitimately, lawfully, strip you of God's generous gifts, which include your right to live, your right to live freely, and your right to own and possess private property -- all, of course, within the natural moral limits posed by the legitimate exercise of the rights of others.

In summary, legitimate human government exists to protect your legitimate God-given rights, and the legitimate rights of everyone else, while acting as a punisher of evil, and an adjudicator of conflicts that may arise between your exercise of rights and the exercise by others of their rights.

Human governments that violate God-given rights, or fail to resist evil, or that act unrighteously or unjustly, only delegitimize and destroy themselves. They don't, they can't, change the natural law as created and instituted by God.

This, my friends, is the first principle, the cornerstone principle, of our country. If this understanding is not soon fully restored in the hearts, minds, and political and governmental practices of America, this building cannot long stand. Our national destruction is inevitable. Our fall may come by degrees, or it may come all of a sudden. Only the omniscient, omnipotent Creator of us all knows that. But you can be sure, it WILL come. The laws of nature and nature's God will not be mocked nor ignored for long.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

Tom Hoefling: "Is it right? Is it constitutional? Is it absolutely necessary?"

6/14/2016

Tom Hoefling

Yesterday I was asked by a new friend for my thoughts on Limited Government.

My response:

I have a simple three part test of all laws and public policies:

1) Is it right?

2) Is it constitutional?

3) Is it absolutely necessary?

Much of what our federal government does today fails all three parts of the test.

Most of what our federal government does today fails to meet one or more parts of the test.

We have to get back within the bounds of morality, constitutionality, and common sense or this great republic cannot possibly survive.

Self-government in liberty cannot be preserved and delivered to our children and grandchildren unless we soon return to the basic principles America was founded upon.

More than 40 years of codifying immorality and unconstitutionality - TOM HOEFLING

5/27/2016

Tom Hoefling

Regulationist abortion bills are virtually all codified violations of "you shall not murder," "we hold these truths to be self-evident," and "no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

The regulationists assure us that they are "saving some," but in fact their God-less, faithless, immoral, unconstitutional, Utilitarian "strategy" has instead, for more than forty years now, accomplished absolutely nothing except to assure the continuation of abortion on demand, for the very simple reason that these lawless bills intrinsically surrender the only real moral, constitutional and legal argument against murdering babies, which is EQUAL PROTECTION for the supreme God-given, unalienable right, the right to live.

Builders who build crooked houses - TOM HOEFLING

5/27/2016

Tom Hoefling

The plumb line and level allow the builder to build according to the laws of nature which were enacted by nature's God.

Would you hire a builder who scoffed at the use of the plumb line and level?

Would you hire a builder who didn't even own a plumb line or a level?

Of course not.

So, why in the world would you support a politician who pays absolutely no mind to God's laws, or the laws of nature, or the obligations of his sacred oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States?

It's a fair question.

Tom Hoefling responds to an honest question about electability

5/9/2016

From the desk of Tom Hoefling:

A very interesting email I received this morning...

Dear Mr. Hoefling,

First, thank you for embracing the Christian values that I believe God wants us to embrace. But let me ask plainly: while I personally believe in the principles you espouse, the world does not and will not. It therefore brings into question the fair assertion that the number of people who will vote for you seems mathematically unrealistic. How and why do you think you have the ability to overcome the odds that the majority of people will not vote for you?

Thank you.

Peace and grace,
xxx xxxxxxxx

My response:

Thanks for your inquiry, xxx.

According to Gallup, about 70% of the American people still self-identify as Christian. Now, you and I both know that much of that is cultural, not spiritual. However, if even one-third of that 70% would stop compromising self-evident truth, and America's core moral and constitutional principles, and vote for me, I would win.

It's really that simple.

In any case, we're trying to turn American Christians back to morality and principle, win or lose. That is bound to bear good fruit, no matter the outcome of any particular election. Isn't it?

For Life, Liberty, and the Constitution,

Tom Hoefling: Why the Republicans are a failure on spending and debt

5/8/2016

Tom Hoefling

The reason Republicans can’t get spending under control is because they have no actual regard for their oaths, and they are therefore not ever at all interested in asking the key question: “Is this bill constitutional?”

Put government back within its constitutionally-enumerated limits, and the spending and debt problems disappear.

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”

— James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution

Tom Hoefling: A clear and present danger to the United States

5/4/2016

Tom Hoefling

A "clear and present danger" to the United States is something that immediately threatens the lives, the liberty, the property, the sovereignty, the security, or the borders of our country, and therefore requires immediate, energetic action to remedy.

There are currently several things that represent such a threat. The first on the list is the practice of human abortion. TODAY, once again, more than 3000 innocent children - more people than were killed by the terrorists on 9-11-2001 - will be slaughtered by the abortionists.

The second most pressing immediate danger to our country is the continued flow of foreign nationals over our open borders. Every couple of days the equivalent of the manpower for an army division is invading our country.

If elected president, meeting and neutralizing these threats will be my top two priorities.

Tom Hoefling: The first and most important reason government exists

4/6/2016

Tom Hoefling

The first reason human government exists is to protect the God-given, unalienable, individual, equal right to live.

This is the first reason the presidency of the United States exists.

This is the first reason the Congress of the United States exists.

This is the first reason the courts exist.

This is the first reason the state governments, in all their parts, exist.

This is the first obligation of every individual who takes the oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

And it is an obligation not only to the born, but to those who still reside in their mother's wombs, and to our Posterity.

Stop acting like this is optional. Stop voting for any candidate who does not fully understand this, and who has not credibly demonstrated a full commitment to restoring equal protection for every innocent person in this country, from their creation until natural death.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."

Official candidate statement by Tom Hoefling, June 7, 2016, California A.I.P. presidential primary

4/2/2016

This official candidate statement was submitted to the California Secretary of State.

Tom Hoefling:

I'm a conservative, husband, father of nine, and grandfather of three. I'm running because I deeply fear for my children's future. Our republic is in peril.

I'm asking for your vote because the elites in the Republican and Democratic parties have lost sight of the original principles that made America the greatest nation on earth. They no longer feel obligated to fulfill the primary duties of their sacred oath of office.

A vote for me is a vote for the natural law principles of the Declaration of Independence, the fulfillment of the stated purposes of our Constitution, and the keeping of the oath to fulfill that precious Constitution's explicit requirements.

If you care about the equal protection of our God-given, unalienable, individual rights, the equal protection of the unborn child, the preservation of the natural family, the preservation of our right to keep and bear arms, and the protection of our national sovereignty, security, and borders, I represent you.

A vote for me is also a vote for fundamental tax, monetary, and regulatory reform. It's a vote for educational freedom. It's a vote for responsible, constitutional spending.

And, last but not least, a vote for me is a vote to rein in our out-of-control judiciary, which is running roughshod over our rights, and over the checks and balances that are supposed to be built into our republican, constitutional system of self-government.

Tom Hoefling: Judges, and politicians, behaving badly

2/25/2016

"The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour..."

-- Article III, Section One, U.S. Constitution

Most people think federal judges receive a lifetime appointment to the bench. But the Constitution doesn't say that. It says that they hold their offices "during good Behaviour."

How many of you seriously think that the "Behaviour" of our judges has been "good"?

It's time to elect leaders to Congress who will act correctly, according to the obligations of their oaths, and begin to make the practice of the impeachment and removal of judges who behave badly THE RULE, rather than the exception.

If we don't rein in the courts, and if we continue to elect politicians who think we live in a judicial oligarchy instead of a free constitutional republic with checks and balances, we can't possibly save the country.

Tom Hoefling: Abolishing abortion is the priority

2/18/2016

Tom Hoefling

Without an accurate sense of proportion you can't have a decent view of what should be the priority, and if your priorities are askew your best efforts, no matter how well-intended, will be diffused and wasted. So, ask yourself the question: What is the greatest evil of our age, the one thing that is destroying America more than anything else? The obvious answer is: The daily denial of equal protection and due process for the supreme God-given, unalienable right, the right to live, of innocent, helpless, defenseless little children in our country. Nothing else even comes close. Thousands more are being slaughtered TODAY. Restore respect for the rights of the preborn children, not just in words, but in fact, and you will be well on the way to restoring the foundations for American justice, American peace, security, and prosperity, and the American claim to republican, constitutional self-government in liberty. Fail to do this, and America will continue its inevitable slide into the abyss.

Tom Hoefling: The folly of attacking the natural moral law

Tom Hoefling: We can end the slaughter of the innocents, if we only have the will

1/29/2016

Tom Hoefling

I see that the new governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, has ordered the closing of a Planned Parenthood abortion mill. What is his stated reason for doing so? Their paperwork isn't in order. They don't have their LICENSE, or permission slip, from the state, to dismember and destroy children.

So, if a governor can close an abortion mill for lack of appropriate paperwork, why on earth can't he shut it down for MASS MURDER?

Why can't he shut it down for violating the most important fundamental principles of our republic, the principles upon which our very claim as a people to liberty are premised?

Why can't he shut it down for the gross violation of every clause of the stated purposes of the United States Constitution?

Why can't he shut it down for the gross violation of the explicit due process and equal protection requirements of that Constitution?

Why can't he shut it down for the gross violation of the explicit equal protection requirements of the Kentucky constitution?

Why can't the President of the United States shut down every abortion "clinic" in America, for such egregious violations of the supreme law of our land, a supreme law that he himself has sworn an oath before God to support and defend?

The answer, of course, is that our chief magistrates, our governors of any and all of our states, or the President, could shut them down in a day, if they only had the will to do so.

I repeat: We can end the slaughter of the innocents, if we only have the will.

Please read the following article.

Thank you.

Tom Hoefling: "I will close every abortion clinic in America"

'Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.'

Tom Hoefling on Government:

"Just as 'good fences make for good neighbors,' good government is mainly about knowing where the legitimate boundaries are, and having the courage to defend those borders forcefully. This is true in terms of the defense of our territory, our security, and our national sovereignty, but it also applies to the sworn duty of all of those in government to equally protect the God-given, unalienable rights of each individual person, from their creation onward, their sacred obligation to stay well within the enumerated powers of our constitutions, and of the role legitimate government must play in balancing the competing rights and interests of the people, in order to establish justice."
