Rodney Pat Ramsey’s Story
I’m really tired of the constant rumor-mongering still lingering after several years – and most recently, the March GOP primary – involving Rodney Pat Ramsey.
To give everyone the final “say” – I have posted Ramsey’s entire Ellis County Press series that JoAnn Livingston and the Waxahachie Daily Light failed to report fully on. Honestly, I had no idea some of this information was available, but now, for once, we know Rodney’s story. The articles were published in December of 2000 up until mid-February 2001.
Rodney is now working for the Kaufman County public defender’s office and is the municipal judge for Bardwell, near Ennis. This series gave rise to Rodney’s meteoric and heroic rise to fight against County Attorney Joe Grubbs and the dangerous political corruption Ellis County is a tourist attraction for.

Rodney Pat Ramsey, to me, truly is a hero. I look up to him greatly, agree or disagree. This county has done a great job turning victims into lawyers. Ultimately, we will win. But until then, I will make life very uncomfortable for those who protect the corrupt.
Special Bonus
During my digging for these archives, I came across a load of ECP coverage of the controversial property tax rollback election that split our county. See for yourself the players and current elected officials – or former – who were working against the taxpayers:

DaubenLily | A New Creation
There’s a flower that a scientist named the “Dauben Lily.” Relatives believe I’m related to this scientist, but over the summer at my Messianic youth camp (Camp Yeshua), I met a friend named Lily. We started discussing business things, toyed around with ideas and thus, DaubenLily was born.
We’re currently working on a business/marketing plan, as well as a nifty logo for what this soon-to-be incorporated venture will be known for.

Goals & Dreams | Write Them Down
These goals were originally written in 2005, but I’ve updated them to number in the 30s, 40s, both for public and/or “mental goals.” I’ve got to update this list periodically because I’ve written down goals and dreams in various places.
But statistically, those that write down their goals and dreams end up – 40 percent of them, according to financial gurus – fulfilling them. Of the 41 that I know for a fact I’ve got, I’ve fulfilled 32 of them (the rest will be released as soon as I find where I wrote them.)
Here’s the original list:

Olive Tree Ministries | Waxahachie, Texas
For those looking for a Messianic congregation in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, here are the directions and a map.

RadioMessiah.com The Messianic Internet radio broadcast that I do on occasion. I’d really like to do this regularly. I’m needing co-hosts though!
Messianic Revolutionary: I coined a phrase that describes the war to reclaim our heritage (the Hebraic-roots/Messianic heritage that has been hijacked by Sunday Christianity.) It’s simply this: the people involved in promoting Yeshua – not Jesus – as the Messiah. Jesus is a Gentile in the West. Most of what “Jesus” is to us today cannot be found in the Bible. Yeshua is the Messiah of all mankind. Revolutionaries must be equipped to take that knowledge to the battlefield.

Perish for a Lack of *THE* Knowledge
Hosea 4:6 is oft-misquoted, but sometimes not intentionally. There’s a definitive article in the sentence structure missing in our English translations.
God’s people don’t “perish” for a lack of knowledge. That’s silly. Knowledge? Don’t have it? Ah, oh well. No, when read in the original translation and fully understood, there’s a “the” before knowledge.
So what would Hosea 4:6 look like?
Hosea 4:6 – “My people are destroyed for lack of the knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
So one must ask, what is “the knowledge?” If it’s not worldly knowledge or knowledge what one obtains in school, then what is it? It’s the Torah-based knowledge. Does God have a priest system designed based off of some seminary?
Read the latter part of the quote: “seeing though hast forgotten the law of thy God…
That pretty much sums up what a lack of the knowledge is.
National Sunday Law + Noahide Laws + Vatican Edicts = Non-Biblical

Instant Messaging Screen Names
I used to put out blog threads on old sites I ran informing people of screen names that “IM” (short for instant message, non-Web-savvy friends) friends of mine with variations of my name.
I’ve had to change, alter and re-create screen names a few times because some yay-hoo would IM friends – or worse, family – and say all sorts of things I would never say.

Why New Hampshire?
Friends, family and readers have asked me why of all places, did I pick New Hampshire?
First, it’s more of a spiritual thing. I wouldn’t have chosen New Hampshire had I not believed I was “called” there. Secondly, I remember having a “favorite president” growing up — Franklin Pierce. Oddly, Pierce is the only president from New Hampshire.
More importantly, I need a new chapter in my life in a new place and with a new focus. I’ve got a one-track mindset now that is very clear, and that is to obtain a legal education of some sort (the ultimate goal is to become a lawyer.)
My dealings here in Ellis County for the past 27 years have given me a lot of experience in various fields: public policy; politics; business; social networking, just to name a few.
That about sums it up. I don’t have plans to replicate any part of my controversial life from Ellis County in the great white (as in snow) north. I actually want to come back after school and pick up where I left off. We’ll see.
After visiting Manchester last year for spring break, I knew the state was my cup of tea. You can’t go wrong with a state that has no sales tax or personal income tax.

Domains For Sale: Raising Cash for NH
I want to get to New Hampshire earlier than my Feb. 17 target date. But to do that, I need to raise some much-needed cash (this is separate from my 100 Readers @ $10 gas-card campaign), but I want to get out of Texas by New Year’s Day.
Prices are negotiable for all domain names. The price listed factors in the “future marketing potential” that exists for each name.

My Hearing in Municipal Court
Judge Rodney Pat Ramsey and Bardwell city attorney Don Stout agreed that these documents pretty much negated my argument that the officer who issued me an expired inspection sticker ticket was “illegally appointed” – because he did not get state-mandated city council approval to be representing the City of Bardwell as an officer.
Anyway, here are those documents the city attorney put into the hearing to bolster the city’s defense:
