America is Spinning Out of Control

In my 73 plus years on this earth, I have seen a lot happened to our country. For decades we have fought communist aggression around the world. Brave men died on the blood-stained battlefields to fight that aggression. Many have come home from the wars with medical or mental problems they will live with the rest of their life, some living on the streets as homeless and others living in veteran homes while illegal aliens cross over the border and are given everything for their needs at taxpayers expense.

 Most in Congress are turning their heads because the real truth is they want the illegals here so they can vote. And they are well on their way to getting it. This is all part of the overall picture to make America a communist (socialist) country. The sad thing is they are well on their way to doing just that. Look at the sanctuary cities, for example, These cities have defied federal law and have opened their arms and what money they have left to the illegals while their own homeless sleep on the streets and the problem is so bad porta potties are being brought in. We have illegals killing people only to be sent back to their country for them to come back again some two or three times committing other crimes. And the beat goes on.

Our nation has become so corrupt we no longer know right from wrong. We can kill unborn babies in the mother's womb and call it legal, but to kill certain animals it is against the law. Since the beginning of time, God has created us male and female but now we have a third checkbox, on most forms of identification, for the ones who can not figure out what they are. There are ones that on any given day can think they are of the opposite sex and go into the other gender's bathroom because in this country the law has said it is now okay to do it. I am sorry but what we have here is a twisted mind. It is a sad day when movie stars and football players can command an audience by the words they say or the knee they bend out of disrespect. They are nothing like the actors and sports stars of years ago who stood up and fought for this country.

While our country is going downhill really fast we have a do-nothing Congress that hates the president so much they will do anything and everything to get him out of office. From day one this has been their primary goal instead of the really pressing issues of our country. These congressmen should be allowed to serve only two terms and then they have to go instead of making a career and big sums of money out of being a politician. 

We must place part of the blame on the preachers and pastors across this country. Maybe not all of them but most of them. It is now all about the money and the big congregations. Corruption has not only overtaken our country but it has penetrated our churches also.  You cannot sing "Oh How I Love Jesus on Sunday" and support a political party that promotes abortion on Monday. You cannot preach Adam and Eve from the pulpit on Sunday and through the week bless Adam and Steve. Our churches, as well as our country, have become corrupt. 

Lastly, we have Major newspapers in our country that we depend on for the truth calling a leader of a terrorist organization an austere religious leader when in fact he was a murderer who beheaded people, buried people alive, kidnapped people and made them slaves, and the list goes on. America is spinning out of control.

America’s Sad State of Affairs

We have allowed the very people who want to destroy this country To move here by leaps and bounds while supporting them with our tax dollars and even elect three of them to Congress where they have access to classified documents. Our enemies are here and in the gate. No wall is needed here because they are already here and demanding their form of government. I will never understand how people can leave their country because of persecution while waving the flags of their country as they come. We must learn their language because they do not want to or do they have to learn ours. We must accept their God. The very things that we have seen in the middle east are coming here and for the most part are already here.

We have a problem on our southern borders that needs to go away. I for one am not against legal immigration. I want people to come to this country and learn our ways, speak our language and be proud Americans. This is how our country was founded. It was not founded by people sneaking over the borders, illegally and demanding everything for free which is, for the most part, what is happening. No matter what some people say, not all the people crossing our borders are legit. Some of these people bring with them a way of life that is not acceptable and should not be tolerated, such as drugs, bad criminal records, let alone the lawlessness that they unleash when they come here. There are many cases in our court system which can back that up. This country cannot sustain the people crossing our borders or the burden it will cause on the citizens in this country. We need the wall.

The Pope, most Tv actors and members of Congress, who are against the wall have walls around their residence to keep people out. Check it out. For them the walls are good but for you and me (The American People), the walls are not needed. The people in Congress that are against the wall are doing it because all these people will vote for them and their socialist (communist agenda) or else they are against it because it is a Trump Promise and they hate Trump. I do not like everything Trump says or does but he is right on this one. We must build the wall or we will have no country as we know it left for our kids and grandkids.

We have people who have come across our borders illegally (not citizens of this country) and are allowed to vote, get a drivers license, tax refunds (Never figured that one out), food stamps, money for housing, and everything else, and it is all for the vote or the cheap labour. This country can not sustain this type of actions from the illegals or the government that allows it.

Evil has overtaken this country and it is growing by leaps and bounds. We have murdered millions of babies in the wombs of their mother over the past decades but now we are murdering them in the mother’s womb up until the day they are born. How evil this is. We have laws to protect dangered species of animals, but it is okay to kill a baby in the womb. The government is saying the baby is not alive or a person until they are born and breath. All through the Bible God tells us otherwise. If this is the case, as the government says, why is Plan Parenthood harvesting body parts and selling them? What is next? Will the government want to call the old folks and special needs people a burden and get rid of them? Do not laugh because if this country last it will happen. There is a darkness coming over this land.

We have the evil of homosexuals, lesbianism, transgenders, and the like being promoted in our land when we know it is wrong. Our kids are being taught in school that it is just another lifestyle. (Our schools are not what they use to be). Most schools and higher places of learning have a liberal agenda.) The Holy Scriptures tell us that. And if you do not want to read them just common sense will tell you none of this is right. God created Male and female, (Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve) I guess soon we will be told that round pegs will fit into square holes.

We have an evil that has come over this land and we need not look at the politicians to solve the problem because they are part of the problem. They need to go. We must clean the swamp. But the real problem is we have, for the most part, are spineless preachers who will not stand up in the pulpit and preach what saith the Lord. They are more worried about money and the numbers of their congregations. When we have a preacher of a church with 40,000 members that will not say homosexuality is a sin on national TV the church is in trouble big time.

The Profound Issue of Our Times

 Recently in a local news paper in the letter to the editor section the following letter appeared and following is my response to the letter.
   

 Guns. The profoundest issue of our times.And why such near universal misapprehension and indifference to the most supreme of all human values, the reality and meaning of life itself? Life, the majesty of existence.How do we forgive ourselves so naively for our careless, uncomprehending ingratitude, when the greatest of all our treasures, beloved life, so tough yet so fragile, so valiant and indispensable, is cavalierly extinguished daily, blindly, mindlessly, the world over? Guns. The paramount reckoning.  Star Democrat News Paper  {July 16, 2018)

              __________________________________________
I disagree agree with a statement made by Georgie Morris Garbisch in the Monday addition to the Letters to the editor section.  The profound issue of our time is not guns. Liberals make it their issue. I do agree with the statement she made in which she said Life is the most supreme of all human values and for one I think it should be taken very seriously. I agree that Life as we know it is taken away daily and it is a shame. But truthfully the letter was not about life but about guns as being the culprit that takes away life. Guns do kill, but so does knives, boxcutters, ice picks, screwdrivers, and many other things. The problem is you never hear about them on national TV or the news. For example, in the state of Idaho, last week nine children at a party were stabbed with a knife and very little was heard about it. If a gun was used we would still be hearing about it. How many murders and killings happen in our major cities by other means than guns? They happen all the time but we never hear about it because it is not gun involved. There is a paramount reckoning coming to this country for all the killings gun related or by other means. The gun is not the most dangerous issue in America today. The most dangerous place in America today is the womb.

There are more babies killed by abortion a day than all other combined killings and that includes guns.The number of abortions reported by the Guttmacher Institute in the U.S. for 2014 is 926,200. This equates to 2,538 abortions each day. Induced Abortion in the United States . This is so staggering when you think about it. Close to a million babies are killed a year by abortion in America, but to the writer of the Star Democrat article the profound issue of our times is guns.

AMERICA -The Reckoning

Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more (Judges 10:13)

I have really been thinking about our country a lot lately and how this once beautiful land filled with God's Blessings has turned her back on Him and on just about everything that is right and good. This reminds me of Israel in Biblical days and how she turned her back on God. We all know what happened to Israel for turning her back on God. Will America be any different? No! The effects of all the sins past and present in this country are mounting up and all America will feel the effects. This country is about to be called to account for the sins and trespasses committed by the government and her people. We must not forget the church and her failure to cry out against the sin and lift up a standard against it.

Most people in this country cannot decern right from wrong. They think good is bad and bad is good. In America, it is good to promote homosexuals, to allow them to become members of our churches and in some cases stand behind the pulpit as a church leader. It is against the law to cry out against it because it is a hate crime to do so. Most churches remain silent and because of this the Holy Spirit has left the church and you see no one healed or set free from their sins. It is sad when there are megachurches with thousands attending and all they hear is a motivational speaker and go home the same way they came. LOST AND UNDONE WITHOUT GOD OR HIS SON!

To take God's beautiful rainbow that He has given us as a promise and use it to promote sin is blasphemy against God and His Word. The Government tells the people that transgenders, crossdressers, homosexuals, lesbians, and the like of such are just another lifestyle.  This is even taught in our public schools. It is no longer Adam and Eve, but now it is Adam and Steve when the Bible clearly tells us God made them male and female. What do we want to be "politically correct or "Biblically correct"?

The killing of unborn babies in their mother's womb (better known as Abortion)  in this country has destroyed millions of unborn babies during the last decades. It started out first the killing of the unborn babies had to be done in the first few weeks of pregnancy but now it is done in many cases when the baby is full term and ready to be born. We are bombarded on TV with people wanting laws to stop the killing of animals and laws passed to protect them which is all fine and good. The question is where are the people's priorities? The aborting of a baby is called a choice, the women's right. The question is what about the rights of the unborn baby. Did anyone stop to think how many Billy Grahams, Billy Sundays, Bert Clendennens, George Washington, Abe Lincolns and the list goes on that have been aborted.

America, just like Israel was in The Bible days, Has been warned over and over and over, yet does not regard or heed the warnings and will eventually be paid the price of sin and losing God’s protecting hand. This country can look for a severe judgment coming very soon because, like Israel, we have been warned, yet we continue to go downhill to the broad road that leads to and invites destruction.

When is it UnAmerican

Our country was founded on principles that all men are created equal. Our founding fathers were visionaries and sought to assure all citizens the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, today we have groups that will deny others the right to life, deny others their liberty, and only think they themselves should be able to pursue happiness. Friends, so much of what I see in our country today crushes these values America was built upon.
When a senator can shed tears on the senate floor because there is a policy to vet refugees from terror sponsored countries but remains dry eyed when millions of innocent babies are murdered in the womb—that is un-American.
When our homeless go hungry while illegal aliens can come into this country and receive food stamps, welfare and shelter—that is Un-American
When our elderly must choose between eating or buying their medications while abortions and transgender surgeries are paid for with tax payer money—that is Un-American.
When our troops go without proper equipment while celebrities and athletes protest our country and national anthem—that is un-American.
When our veterans go without benefits that were promised but billions of dollars are given to countries that hate us—that is Un-American.
When Christian companies are forced to compromise their faith and values by serving same sex weddings while other businesses can say, “if you support traditional marriage, don’t shop here.”—that is Un-American.
When radical groups like BLM and anti fa can riot, burn cities and kill or injure people but citizens are prosecuted and persecuted for speaking out against them—that is Un-American.
When a black criminal disobeys law enforcement and is shot by police and there is a public outcry while police officers are shot everyday for doing their jobs and media is silent—that is Un-American.
When the media takes it upon itself to slant the news and tell us what to think instead of reporting the news and trusting us to decide for ourselves what to think—that is Un-American.
When liberal head explodes at the use of a word in describing a third world country while cities in this country resemble these third world countries and nothing is being done to improve the lives of citizens in these cities— that is Un-American.
When a political party would rather protect 8,000 illegal aliens than protect the citizens of this country and even go as far to threaten a government shut-down and deprive the elderly and military of their money— that is Un-American.
It appears that some of our leaders are more concerned about themselves and the special interest groups that has bought them  than the citizens that elected them and that is not only Un-American but unacceptable to the the citizens of this country that are counting on the leadership.
Friends, I have been told that, as a Christian, I should not be political. I am not a political person but what I see goes beyond politics. It is now about our survival as a country and the fabric of our way of life. I once read “All it takes for evil to spread is for good men to do nothing.” I am only trying to do my small part to stop the spread of evil.
As always you are free to disagree but I am free to express my opinion. May God bless you all. . Just saying

Just The Facts

Remember the old TV program “DRAGNET” with Jack Webb? One of his famous lines was “Just the facts”. So let us deal with just the facts today in this article.

There are so many articles in the local newspaper lately about gun control that would make a person think that there is an agenda by the left to remove guns from this country. I never realized or knew how big this movement was until I read several different articles in the paper. There are never are any articles about pro-gun just anti Gun. People, especially teenagers, will protest without knowing all the facts, without even knowing why they are protesting. Some teenagers were asked what they were protesting and they could not even answer. They only protest what they hear or see and because other people are doing it, without ever checking the facts. These teenagers are better known as the Tide-Pod generation. It is called the dumbing down of our kids. Before they protest about anything, including guns, they should be required to study the Constitution of the United States.

For example, we had school kids all over the country [on a certain day] walking out of school protesting the recent shootings in schools. I wonder how many of these students would have protested if the protest were held not during school hours. The media was all over the story about kids walking out in protest but nothing was said about some kids in schools having a walk in instead of a walk out. What more can you expect from a liberal press? There was some difference of opinion over the issue of gun control and the violence caused by these shootings but the American people read only one side of the issue. How in just a short time could there have been such a walkout all across this nation? The answer is, it was planned and put into effect as soon as the school shooting happened by liberals and progressives who want to see the confiscation of guns in this country.

 At one school kids were so unruly during the walkout they destroyed an American flag which is all a part of the liberal agenda and then tried to assault a police officer. The very flag they destroyed represents the very means that allows them to protest.

They were protesting, if that was what you could call it, and most of them knew nothing of what they were protesting. By that I mean the deep roots of why they were protesting are not being brought to the front. I am not afraid to say there is a bigger issue behind all of this and it is not about gun violence. There was a picture in the paper of a girl holding a sign that said: “Eighteen Century laws can’t regulate 21st-century weapons”. Down through the history of this country, our constitution has done a pretty good job so far. What law or amendment does she want to go next? These signs are right out of the communist playbook. After the guns go the liberals will have the Holy Bible gone and their version will replace it.

How about the fact that there are 11 kids a day killed in this country a day because of texting on their cell phones while driving. That is over 4000 thousands kids a year being killed by texting and driving. I guess we should ban cell phones from kids and while we are at it automobiles too because they are part of the blame for this sad waste of human life. Another sign held by another kid said; ”we want education without fear of annihilation”. I also would like that same thing whenever I drive to the store or drive to church without the fear of being killed by a teenager texting while driving.

The sad truth here is most kids are being dumb down by a liberal agenda that are using gunning violence as a platform to promote their agenda. It is sad when liberals’ have to use our kids to promote their communist agenda. It is the liberals’ in this country that are trying to mobilize our kids for their cause. More time should be spent on teaching the history of this country and what it stands for. But what is happening is some of our histories is being deleted out of our history books and our school curriculum. What percentage of kids in this country even know what the Constitution is and what it stands for, sad to say a very few if any.

The issue is not about gun control. It is about controlling a nation of free people by taking away the only means of keeping ourselves free. Some people will laugh at that statement. But it is the truth. History is trying to repeat itself right in our backyards and most people cannot even see it. We only need to look at Russia, Germany, China, Cambodia, Cuba, and many other nations. Look at what happened to them. The guns were taken and then the real slaughter began. Millions were murdered because they protested the governments of these countries. This is the same road America is going down. A gentleman from Scotland wrote, to the local newspaper and said This; America has no need of people running around with guns. He also stated we have a most capable military to protect us. This is true. We have the finest military to protect us from all outside threats but not from the Trojan horse which is getting bigger in our country.  That is the reason for the second amendment and the reason for our Constitution.

Lastly, I read an article in the local paper about a church that was having a prayer vigil against gun violence. That may be fine, but the church [all churches] needs to go above and beyond this. The sad thing is their mind is dull and they are being deceived. Any Bible believing church knows there is more to be done than just a prayer vigil against gun violence. The roots of the problem go a lot deeper than gun violence. It is called THE SIN PROBLEM; which is an all-inclusive word for Rebellion against God and His Word. The history of the world, as eyed through the Bible and some other good history books, plainly show the fact that when God is in control the nation prospers and when God is not in control there is evil, violence, and every sin a person can imagine. My friends God is not in control of America. We have forsaken Him. We as a people have turned our backs on him and now we are reaping what we have sown.  America is now reaping for the killing of millions of unborn children in the womb, the removing of anything that pertains to God from our schools and government buildings, and the promoting of homosexual lifestyles in the schools and in government, which clearly are against God’s laws. Our government and sad to say most of our churches are falling short of preaching and upholding the truth and the Constitution of this country.

It is true that the United States is 3^rd in murders throughout the world, but if you remove Chicago, Washington, DC., Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans look what happens. The United States comes in at 189^th out of 193 countries in the entire world. And what is more amazing is the five cities mentioned here have the most strict gun control laws in the nation. Now please tell me about people wanting to pass more gun control laws. The true problem in this country is not the need for more laws. It is THE SIN PROBLEM.

When A Nation Thumbs Its Nose At God

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5-20)
All decent law abiding citizens need to look at America and its present way of life to see how our country is completely thumbing its nose at our God and His warnings to us through His Word. The degree of apostasy in America is totally shocking and unbelievable. Most people in our country do not know what sin is or to make it plainer the difference between right and wrong.
When a person is too lazy to work in our country it is called good and the reward for this laziness is with welfare and government benefits while the hard working people who work and provide for their families and some work enough to become rich and that is called bad. Because the liberals in this country say this is bad, the rich people and the person who works hard every day must be taxed to give their money to people who don’t work because that is what is good and right. The lazy in America get free everything from free food to free cell phones, free rent, free everything and it is called good by our government. This is the opposite of scriptural teaching that if a man doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat. This does not mean we are not to help the ones who are truly poor.
In today’s America if you are a pure virgin, a chaste woman you are seen as bad and a women who dresses and acts the part of a whore is good. Her pictures are on TV, magazines, and you name it. An unwed mother gets all kinds of benefits from the government because she has had a child and is not married. The government calls this good, and a woman who is married and trying to make ends meet are not given the same breaks because she is married and this is bad, what is wrong with that picture? This is not putting down the single woman but the system by which the government penalizes the married women. It has nothing to do with the woman personalty. People thought the Marlboro man was good and the man taking his children to church was bad. Marriage that was once solely between man and woman is now called bad because homosexual or same-sex marriage must have the same right. It is called good. Even though the scriptures call it sin people and our government are calling it good. Churches are marrying same sex people and calling it good when the Bible calls it sin in other words bad. God’s judgment is coming and soon.
Killing some types of animals, birds, whales, etc is called bad and evil but the murdering of innocent, babies that are still in the mother’s womb by abortion is called good. Not long ago a lion was shot in Africa and there was a public cry against it. A gorilla was shot in a zoo to protect a child and the public once again cried out, calling it bad. At the same time we were told of unborn baby parts being sold by Planned Parent Hood and that was good. America will most certainly pay for this crime against our Lord. America is now embracing transgenders and calling it good.  What will be next? Will it be sex with animals or being married to an animal? Do not laugh at that statement because whoever thought that a man would be allowed to use a woman’s bathroom? We are fast becoming a nation without God!
America is on a downward spiral with sin and as we all can see it is picking up speed as it goes. America, as a nation considers its self to be  civilized, and educated, but the truth is she is spiritually dead.
And this is just scratching the surface. So with America embracing evil and shunning good, is it any wonder we have so many problems today? How could we have so quickly changed from a nation embracing God and morality to a country literally begging to be destroyed by sins that are being called good? The scripture at the top of this article needs to be repeated “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Take A Stand in 2016

I will be casting my vote for Donald Trump in November. I will not be casting stones at him because I live in a glass house. He might be rough around the edges and sometimes he cannot keep his mouth shut when he needs to, but he tells the truth and he is not a Washington insider. That I like.

If Hillary is an example of good character, decency, charity toward all, and a high degree of integrity; I have been grossly misled for my entire life. Trump was not my choice in the primary; however I will vote for him rather than live through more of what has gotten us to where we are in this country. I can see now it makes no difference if it was Bush or Clinton because for the most part they stand for the same thing, a one word government.

I cannot understand how people will vote for a liar, thief, and just plain evil person like Hillary Clinton. She has been that way all her political life. It now seems she is above the law. She tells us that Christians will have to change their way of thinking. How can true born again Christians vote for a person like that? Peoples minds in this country are becoming seared and they just do not know right from wrong anymore. I truly believe the end is near. God be with your people. How can a country that was founded on Christian principles get to where it is now? This country is so far off base it will take a revival across the land to bring us back to our roots. We must seek the cross of Jesus Christ and put back the ideals that our country was founded on. Those ideas are not the ones that Hillary Clinton is looking at or would put into place.

If this nation elects Hillary Clinton as president they are excepting homosexuality, abortions, the White House being lite up in rainbow colors, transgenders, someone who lies every time their lips move, and a person that is anti Christian. Any true born again Christian cannot and must not vote for her. Those that do will answer to God. To know good and do it not is still sin. Lord God I pray and stand in the gap for this once great nation. If their be but a handful of your people in each state of this union please spare this country. Even so Come Lord Jesus!

America Without God

This past January I turned seventy years old and as I look back on my life I have come to realize how much America has changed and not for the good either.

I remember in my younger years how much school was a part of my life. I went to school on a bus and never once had to worry about it being rowdy. If it was the bus driver stopped and the person who was behind it all was made to get off the bus, and when he got home he knew that he was in trouble and what is waiting for him. Now kids for the most part can be rowdy and do what they want on the bus and if the bus driver steps in most of the time he or she are the one in trouble.

When we got to school and went inside there was no presents of a police officer walking the halls. There were no drugs sold there, only a happy bunch of kids for the most part wanting to be there. There was no disrespect for teachers and if there was it would not be a next time. We all said pledge allegiance to the flag, prayed, and  each student to their turn each reading from the Bible the Bible which was always found on top of the teachers desk. You will not see it there today and we wonder how our schools are in the shape they are in today.

At Christmas time we had school plays about the birth of our Savior. We were told the reason for the season. We sang Christmas carols such as Silent Night and Away In A Manger, but not no more. For the most part there is no Christmas in our schools any more just Happy Holidays. And we wonder why our kids are like they are. You soon see the reason why so many thousands of parents are home schooling their kids. No the liberals are trying to change the history books, and now we have a new system of teaching which is called common core. Hillary Clinton says that it takes a whole village to raise a child and you can look out if she is elected president, it is the parents that have the responsibilities for raising a child but the government wants to do that for you. No village raised my kids nor will they raise my grand kids.

I was taught when I was growing up that if you did not work you did not eat, how that is changed now. People depend on the government for everything, including free cell phones, free food, free everything because they are told the government owes it to them. For the most part we are living in a worthless generation run by a worthless government. People are being deceived everyday and they like it. We have whole families living in government housing today that is the third and fourth generation that has never worked a day in their life. The government has given them their way of life. Free food, free housing, free medical, free pocket money, and free everything. Now we are giving freebies to illegal’s and freebies to people coming from the middle east while our seniors and veterans go without. This is not the America I was raised in!

Back in 2006 Obama said “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation."  I hate to say it but he is just about right. Christians in this country are being persecuted more all the time for what they believe in. we have a ungodly man as our president and just about anything is okay with him.  Abortion {late term}, homosexuals, transgender, and men using women’s bath rooms. I do not know if he is not right in the head or just pure evil. You just have to wonder.

I worry so much about the future of my grand kids and your kids and grand kids in a nation without God, because amazingly, there are some people in this country who approve of the direction in which America is headed. They see nothing wrong with the anything goes’ mindset. Their focus is on outward appearance, or selfish pleasure, rather than inward integrity. “He who dies with the most toys…wins” could very well be their motto. Any moral standard is okay if it gets them what they want. I think they are called the “Whatcha goanna give me crowd”Sad to say there are others, who do not approve of what is happening in our nation, know the cause, but continue to stand by in silent submissiveness, as decisions are made that directly affect them and those they love.  These people, knowingly or unknowingly, are still part of the problem. There is a solution to this problem and that is to live by the standards that God gave us. He made us and He made us to live in a certain way. We were created to live in a Holy loving relationship with Him and His Son. Any other way of life is a distortion of the ideal. Living any other way than God what has prescribed will end up in heartache, sorrow, misery, and disappointment.One more thing that I want to add before I close is this, If you claim to be a follower of Jesus Christ you sin if you vote for anybody that does not condemn abortion, same sex marriages, and any other thing that is a sin. Don’t forget that my friend. Woe to you who call good evil and evil good.

The Failure of A Great Country.

Our government leaders kick God out of everything and then try to blame everybody and everything under the sun for what is happening in our country. Every time some kind of tragedy happens in this country  the blame is put on everything except what it really is. When God is kicked out of everything anarchy soon comes and it is gaining a stronger foot hold in our country everyday. We are becoming a nation without God. Killing unborn babies in the womb and then selling their body parts, promoting homosexuality when God says it is wrong. We have the most ungodly president ever leading this country. This country reminds me of Nineveh, except the people of that city repented. Will this country repent and turn back to God?

Our government, along with the most of judges and the ACLU (Against Christian Liberties Union), and the Supreme Court have kicked God out of the schools, out of public places and off government property, and all because one person may be or is offended. Does that make sense? Because some do not believe in a supreme being, that the whole world revolves around them?  And yet, their rights are upheld while the rights of the majority and of Christians are being trampled on.

If anyone can find in the Constitution of the United States, separation of church and state, please let me know on what page it was found. These people, who in my book are fools and are deceived, have their own holiday which is April 1 (for the fool has said in his heart, ”there is no God”),  For the sake of peace in our country I wish they would leave ours alone. If you are a true Christian you will know in your heart it is Him (God) who keeps you.

There was a time when church services were held in the halls of Congress and the Supreme Court and the great men who founded this great country, wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights did not see any conflict with regards to religious freedom or liberties that were outlined in those documents.

However, all that being said, here is what God has to say, “Because I have called and you have refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my correction, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you — when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind. When distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and have the fill of their own devices.”

Where does this all end? The answer is, we need to go back to our roots, the very foundation of our nation, The Holy Bible. Until we as a nation get back to our roots we will face more and more tragedy. We need to stop blaming the mass murders on guns, the rioting and looting in our streets as nothing less than lawlessness.

Silence In The Face of Evil is Evil

As a Christian and a follower of our Lord Jesus I cannot get over the latest evil from "PLAN PARENTHOOD". Dietrich Bonheoffer, a German Lutheran pastor and theologian, said that "Silence in the face of evil is evil". I can't help but believe, in my heart, that most people whether they be conservative, liberal or have no political views would not, and cannot, find the words that were spoken in the recent Planned Parenthood video not only disturbing but evil! I'm sixty-nine years old and to think someone would  casually talk about crushing the life out of an unborn child no matter at what stage of development makes me wonder just how far into inhumanity of man we, as a country, have fallen. Take away the legality of the action of harvesting infant body parts and just concentrate on the action itself and the uncaring way in which it is described should make all of us tremble! Their very innocent blood cries out to all mankind! It has been proven that a developing fetus (baby) can feel pain at least 20 weeks in the uterus. We can only begin to imagine the horrific anguish, and the pain, these children go though as they are being destroyed, murdered, for their body parts? What has our nation come to? How can we expect God to bless a nation that would allow this to happen? As Christians, Americans, and as caring people we must cry out against this evil.

For those of us that find this practice sick and disgusting, remember this thought: “All American taxpayers are helping to fund the agency (Plan Parenthood) and to sees no wrong in this practice is truly upsetting and evil in itself! I believe the time has come to stop funding Planned Parenthood with our tax dollars. I have a strong feeling that there are many others that feel the same way about this that I do. Now is the time to stand up and let your voice be heard! This is not about a war on women, as they would have you to believe. It is an cruel inhuman and sadistic attack on human race itself!

Why Obama is silent On Killing Babies?

After reading ghastly headlines about recently
convicted Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit
Gosnell, such as “Gosnell Jury Hears About
Baby Surviving Abortion in Toilet” (Steven
Ertelt, lifenews.com, May 9), there was this
sudden message: “White House: No Comment
on Gosnell ‘Beheading’ Babies in Abortions”
(Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com, April 15).
Why was Barack Obama silent about this
“house of horrors”? Maybe because, as I’ve previously
reported, he didn’t want it known that as a state senator
in Illinois, he had persistently opposed a bill, the BornAlive Infant Protection Act, which would have provided
medical care for babies who survive botched abortions.
He had voted “No” on the bill in March 2001 and
“Present” later that same month. Explaining Obama’s
vote, WorldNetDaily reports, “in the Illinois senate, voting
‘Present’ is the equivalent of voting ‘No,’ because a bill
must have a majority counting only ‘Yes’ votes to pass”
(“Gosnell Conviction a Setback for Obama,” May 13).
Jill Stanek, an Illinois nurse and pro-life advocate whom
I had previously interviewed, testified in 2003 before the
Illinois Senate Health and Human Services Committee
on the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. She told of a colleague who “accidentally threw a live aborted baby in
the garbage who had been left on the counter of the
Soiled Utility Room wrapped in a disposable towel.
“When the associate realized what she had done, she
started going through the trash to find the baby, and the
baby fell out of the towel and on to the floor.”
As president, Obama has steadfastly supported lateterm abortions. But he doesn’t need to worry about the
public being reminded of his rejection of the Born-Alive
Infant Protection Act. That’s because of the unyielding
media attention that’s been concentrated on his Justice
Department’s invasions of the Associated Press’ First
Amendment freedoms, as well as the Internal Revenue
Service’s questioning of citizens’ political groups, focusing, for example, on those with “patriot” and “tea party”
in their names. The IRS was also curious to know if any
of these groups had publicly opposed specific policies,
like Obamacare.
Of what country does Obama think he’s president?
As for Dr. Kermit Gosnell, his case is done. In the May
15 Wall Street Journal, Peter Loftus reports that he has
been sentenced “to spend the rest of his life in prison for
the murders of babies who were born alive at his
Philadelphia abortion clinic, avoiding a potential death
penalty in a deal with city prosecutors.”
But the horrifying details of his case have startlingly
educated many Americans, including this one, about the
extent of other “houses of horror” throughout this
nation.
The Washington Times’ Jeanneane Maxon writes:
“Gosnell’s clinic is not the only ‘house of horrors’ in our
nation. In recent years, 15 states have investigated substandard conditions and providers” (“Why Big Abortion
shares Gosnell’s guilt,” May 15).
For one of many examples, Helen Pow reveals in the
Daily Mail that “Houston doctor Douglas Karpen is
accused by four former employees of delivering
live fetuses during third-trimester abortions and
killing them by either snipping their spinal cord
(the Gosnell method), stabbing a surgical
instrument into their heads or ‘twisting their
heads off their necks with his own bare hands’”
(“Second ‘house of horrors’ abortion clinic
where doctor ‘twisted heads off fetus’ necks
with his bare hands’ is investigated in Texas,”
May 16).
Pow, citing anti-abortion group Life Dynamics’ video
interview with one of the doctor’s former employees,
writes that in these latter murders, the fetus coming
completely out “was still alive because it was still moving
and you could see the stomach breathing.”
The Texas Department of State Health Services is
investigating.
As for Gosnell’s “house of horrors,” we now know that
his “abortion center was inspected only after a federal
drug raid in 2010. It was the first time the facility had
been inspected in 17 years because state officials
ignored complaints and failed to visit Gosnell’s Women’s
Medical Society for years” (“Kermit Gosnell Jury Hung
on Two Counts, Doesn’t Say Which Ones,” Steven
Ertelt, LifeNews.com, May 13).
While some states didn’t need Gosnell to be awakened
to the need for strenuous oversight of abortions, what
about the many others that do? As WorldNetDaily senior correspondent and author Jerome Corsi insists:
“After the Gosnell conviction, no state health official
can rest comfortably that abortion doctors are acting
responsibly, unless the state has a history of rigorous
health standards applied by abortion clinics operating in
the state.”
This includes, he adds, making sure restrictions on
late-term abortions are actually being followed.
Because I am among the many pro-life and pro-choice
Americans mourning those babies who were assassinated by Dr. Kermit Gosnell, I will end with this:
Notorious late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart “was
awarded the 2009 William K. Rashbaum, M.D.,
Abortion Provider Award by Physicians for
Reproductive Health ... NARAL Pro-Choice America
(which no longer stands for National Abortion Rights
Action League, given that some people might think that
name icky) gave him its Hero Award that same year”
(“Kermit Gosnell Is Not an Outlier,” Shannen W. Coffin,
nationalreview.com, April 12).
Coffin contiues: “There’s very little difference between
what Carhart does on a regular basis and what Kermit
Gosnell (stood) on trial for.”
When is NARAL Pro-Choice America going to demand
the return of that Hero Award?
I’m a pro-lifer who agrees with Jerome Corsi: “Now that
murder charges have been found to apply to abortion
practices in Pennsylvania, no state should assume a
health department trying to be politically correct can be
assumed in the future to be free of criminal liabilities.”
Including murder.

Where are your tears President Obama?

Of course President Obama
got pretty emotional
addressing the recent
tragedy of the brutal murder
of young school children in
Sandy Hook, Conn.
Weren’t we all sad and
shocked? Of course the
President judged that deadly
rampage as horrible, illegal
and distressing. Didn’t we all
agree? Who among us
wouldn’t denounce such violence against our young?
Indeed, a part of our
nation’s shock was how very
young the innocent victims
were. Probably for quite a
while, we will be able to
recall in our mind’s eye their
fresh, beautiful smiling
faces. We will grieve over
and over again that their
young lives, so full of potential and bright promise for
the years ahead were
snuffed out by one man executing a devious plan born
from a mind not at all sound
or good.
Obviously, what kind of man
would the President be if he
didn’t declare such brutality
as intolerable? Regarding the
Sandy Hook children, from
the Oval Office to the home
office, from Maryland to
California, we all agree:  the
murder of children is wrong,
horrible, distressing.
Unless, of course, the children are very, very young. If
the children killed are really
little, then President Obama,
with the blind support of millions of other pro-choice
Americans, stops weeping
and actually starts planning,
promoting and funding the
increased slaughter of millions of innocents, not just in
America, but all over the
world.
President Obama and most
all Americans would rightfully weep over the slaughter
of innocent kindergarten-aged children in a
school shooting and, of
course, over the death of a
week old infant abandoned
in a trash pile.
But if that same infant was
brutally slain just a few
weeks before, while still in
their mother’s womb at a
federally-funded Planned
Parenthood Center, then
there is no outrage, no
shock. For President Obama
and blinded others, a literal
genocide of the very young
is not at all wrong or brutal
or distressing; it is a right
protected by law.
I was once blind, until I saw
a film of an actual abortion.
Now I see, and my tears flow
freely for the  56,000,680
snuffed out to abortion here
in America. Where are your
tears, Mr. President?
This was copied from a local news paper. It was written by a church pastor

The Truth Hurts

What a great blessing that we can still turn on our TV and have someone like Glenn Beck to give us truths that most Americans do not know or do not want to hear! I believe that God is using him, in his position, in these last days to show America the road that they are on. He has opened up a door that is full of truth. Most of us already know what he is saying, but it needs to be said over and over again until it sinks in to the American people. We, as a nation, are on the broad road that leads to destruction and he is simply telling it like it is. Some people are calling him everything in the book, but the truth hurts them and it is cutting them to the quick! I have yet found anything that he has said that is not the truth! His basic message is this: “America must return to God” and it is the truth!
The American people have a responsibility and a duty to step out from the shadows, the gloom, and the darkness that has come over our land and to help lead in rescuing our country from the chaos and deep mess that it is in, just like Glenn Beck is doing. There is no time for a silent majority who says and does nothing. First we as a nation must realize what has got us, to the point we are at. The answer is so simple that a blind man can see it. This nation has turned its back on God. This nation may have a form of godliness but that is about it. Just a outward appearance. We are fast becoming a godless nation and in due time (if it is not already happening) “We will reap what we sow”. When a nations moral fiber is missing, destroyed, or misplaced trouble will always come. If you are a reader of the Bible you can see this as well as I do. The American people must return to their first love. The love of God and His commandments. Yes! God’s commandments and laws have everything to do with it.
To put everything in terms that everybody will understand let us look at the history of this country. This country was founded on Christianity and the teachings that are found between the pages of that Book. The founding fathers of this country knew that and based every decision that they made accordingly. Because of this our nation (that was under God) prospered. We have lived better and prospered more than any other nation in the world. God did indeed shed His Grace on us. We prospered and became strong. We became a world leader. Just research what some of our great leaders from the past have said about God and His Word. There is more about George Washington than him crossing the Delaware. He was a spiritual man. Just read some of his writings and speeches. The same can be said about the rest of our forefathers. For the most part they were also godly men. The walls of our nation are broken and the enemy floods in. I am speaking spiritually. But not only that there is a enemy from within that would destroy us.
But now because of the sins of the people, the sins of the leadership, and just plain turning our back on God we find ourselves in a cross roads. What the people do in the very near future will make or break this country forever. We can go into bondage to serve other nations and other gods or we, as a nation, can repent return to God and ask His divine help in restoring this great nation. What will it be America? Will you be one of the ones who stand up?
How does anybody expect God to bless a country that has turned their back on Him? The laws of this nation was founded on His word. Now any sign of Christianity has been taken down. The ten commandment, pictures of Christ, and you name it are now not allowed in our court rooms or government buildings. Christmas carols about the Lord are no longer allowed in our schools and if you are politically correct you will say happy holidays instead of “MERRY CHRISTMAS”. Once there was Bible reading and prayer in school, now it is not allowed. We allow abortions on demand, Homosexuals parade our streets, get married in our churches, and it is being taught in our schools that it is okay for Adam to marry Steve. A persons mind has to be deranged to even consider this let alone allow it! No wonder home schooling is growing by leaps and bounds among the Christian community. We have heard our president telling other middle east countries that we are no longer a Christian nation. He also has said that the Bible and our constitution is out of date, and the list goes on and on. The scripture says “Forever thy word is settled in Heaven” and also “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet” Yes this nation has turned its back on God.
I have asked this question before, but it needs to be asked again. Will our nation be like Sodom and Gomorrah? Will we continue down the same path of ungodliness, as we are going now, or will we be like Nineveh that repented of their wicked ways? We must take the blinders off our eyes and see where we come from and what ready made us a great nation. Then we must look at what we are doing now and where we are headed. We as a nation must chose this day who we will serve! As for me and my house, well we will serve the Lord. We will abide by and keep His commandments.

SIXTY FOUR – and so tired - second posting

This article was posted in December 2009 and after many request it has been reposted

I will be 64 years old real soon and have been writing this blog for a year. Most of the people who read my blog know that I'm a conservative person and my writings are conservative. What you may not know about me is that I have lived on Delmarva all my life and I am now semi retired and I have worked, hard, since I was 16 years old. I have done every kind of work in my live from working in the farm fields as a teen ager, to being a police officer for years, to owning and operating my own electric company for many years. Despite some major health issues during my last years on the job, I was still putting in 50 to 60 -hours a week, and did not stopped working because I was sick or did not feel good. My father taught me to work hard. I worked hard and made a good living, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and it was not handed down to me, on a silver platter, by the government, or anybody else. I have worked very hard and put in long hours to get where I am and what I have. I have no great amount of wealth, But the point I want to make is I have worked for what I have. I taught my three sons to work hard for what they have and what they want. No one has give me or them any free rides. We have worked for it. But the fact is this, given the way the economy is today, there's is now no full retirement in sight for me, it is back to work to make ends meet and I'm tired. Very tired, tired of giving a large amount of my hard earned money to the "Great Society" of "no show" workers so they can live free of charge, buy more drugs, and laugh as they do it. I'm sure a lot of you who read this feels the same way. There will be no full retirement for the most of us that have worked hard all of our life.

I'm so tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people who don't have my work ethics or standard and principles. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it. The people who will not work in a pie shop eating pies, but want to be a part of a great society. This is who we are spreading our wealth {hard earned money} around to. Sometimes as I sit and think about it, it just makes me sick. I work and other people {the ones who could work like I do} hold their hands out with a serious case of the give me s.

I'm so tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." If they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help them because that is the duty of every American. I would truly give my last dollar to someone that needed it. I would want them to do the same for me. We should be a caring people, But to those people that bought mansions at three and four times the price that my little acre cost me, on one-third, or less, of my salary, then, I say this, let the left-wing Congress-liberals who promoted and passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created this problem help them with their own money, not mine or any other hard working American. We have give and give until there is just no more to give. When are we going to say the free ride is over? If we as Americans do not speak up soon and let our voices be heard in unity it will be over for everybody, because we will not be able to keep up.

I'm so tired of being told how bad  America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros, and  Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities  our great country has offered and give to them. In thirty years, if they get their way, the  United States will have the economy and financial system of Zimbabwe {which is zero} , the freedom of the press that China has {which is none}, the crime, bloodshed and violent behavior of Mexico {that is already spilling over into our country}, the tolerance for Christian people that are in Iran {which is none}, and the freedom of speech of  Venezuela {which is also none} . Won't multi-culturalism be wonderful and magnificent? What a wonderful country that we will live in! You may laugh at what I'm saying but just look around you. Are you living in the same America that you lived in fifty or even twenty years ago?

I'm so tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when that is a plain lie, when every day you or I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense that in all trueness and reality does not mean a hill of beans; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they are infidels and are not "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls because they consider women second class and sub-servant to them; of Muslims stoning young women who are rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari' a law tells them to do it, while some Americans turn the other way. Can you call this a religion of peace. I hardly think so. This country did not use to be that way. Of course this is the way it was before we as a nation started to compromise our standards and our new form of "political correctness"

I believe "a man should be judged by the content of his character and his heart, not by the color of his skin." I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Barrack Obama, when all that matters is affirmative action jobs, lower standards for college admission and lower graduation standards for minorities (which is harming them the most), government contract set-asides for minorities only, tolerance and acceptance for the ghetto culture, and the society of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone else. I'm tired that if you speak out on these issues or do not agree with the president you are labeled a racist, a want to be terrorist, or anti government. I'm just sick of it. I am a American!

I'm so tired of being labeled by the president and his liberal followers as a person that clings to my Bible and guns when both have been part of my life since I can remember and a part of this country's heritage since it was founded. Like a lot of Americans I will always embrace them both. I'm not a bad person because I have a Bible in my house {and use it daily} and keep guns in my house for self defense, hunting, and to defend this country if necessary. I'm tired of being looked down on by our government and the liberal press when I say that: "It is the person and not the gun that causes problems and deaths. There is coming a day when everybody is going to want a Bible and gun in their house. Many a person has said that this nation was built on God, Guns, and Guts. I'm afraid to say that with the majority of this nation this is not so anymore. They have got rid of God, they are trying get rid of our guns, and guts have gone out the back door. These three things have been replaced by a God-less government, the gradual disarming of our country, and the spineless politicians that will not stand up for what is right and then people wonder what is happening to our great nation. 

I think it's very good and shows the world how far our country has come that we have a black president and that a black child is most likely doing her homework at the desk where  Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. How far we have come in creating equal rights for all races. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, Michael Steele, or Thomas Sowell, or someone who believes more in freedom and rights for the individual and less being the arrogant all-knowing government who wants to control all parts of our life. Someone who is not a narcissist like our current president. Someone that does not want to turn this country into a socialist {communist} country. I do not care if our president is black or white, a man or women, as long as they do not dismantle our nation piece by piece as Barrack Obama is doing.

I'm so tired of a news media that tried to make people think that the former president Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene and to much, but that they think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records trying to discredit him, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Sarah Palin with two years as being governor, for being too inexperienced for Vic President, but lay it on thick and heavy that Obama with three years as senator, and one who voted present most of the time, as being the best president this country has ever had. Why is the media so one sided? Why can't they report the news and let us decide? Do you wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions to the local newspapers or why they are switching to Fox News? Let me give you a clue, I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the news media and Senator Kerry drove me to vote for him in 2004. I saw the light!

I'm so tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money {our hard earned money} to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools, right here in America, to preach hate in our country, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in  Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. Where is the give and take on their part? I'm tired of my country being "political correct" I want this nation to stand tall.

I'm so tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do to themselves and others. Let me ask you this question: Did a colossal germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, throw them to the ground and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I sure those drug addicts chose to take the drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from people, who think they are so cool' treating me like and calling me a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.

I'm so tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. I have friends that are Hispanic. They work hard, pay their taxes, come to this country legally and are good neighbors. I'm okay with citizenship for any Hispanic person who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, one who is not in a gang, or one who serves honorably for three years in our military...those are the kind of citizens we need. The ones who come hear the right way. There is a right way and wrong way of doing things.

I'm so tired of liberals and journalists, who have never worn or who will would never wear the uniform of this country themselves, or let their , as they think, entitlement-handicapped kids, who they think are privileged, near a recruiting station, to trash our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than they are. People who die for their freedom so they can do as they choose. Do bad things happen in war? Yes they do. Do our soldiers sometimes do wrong? Yes they do. Does this compare with the carnage, violence, and killing that were and still are the guiding principle and course of action of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? It is not even close. So here's the deal. I will let myself be subjected to all the humiliation, embarrassment, shame and abuse that was laid on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity and imprisonment by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. As far as I have read and researched the British and American soldiers are the only troops in history, to my knowledge and study, that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from them in fear of their lives.

I'm so tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and integrity while the other party has a corner on dishonesty. Read the papers; Bums are bipartisan and they will always be useless and worthless. They come from both sides of the isle. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bi-partisanship. Look at the crooks who live in  Illinois , where the politicians in Illinois has worked to loot and take from the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet as well and other tax cheats in the past.

I'm so tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when all of us know they really think their only mistake was getting caught and how not to get caught again. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement or privilege, rich or poor. We {the hardworking tax payers} pay for our mistakes and so should they. What are they entitled to that which we as hard working Americans are not entitled to?

Speaking for the truly poor, we need to help them because it is the American way. No one in this country should go hungry or have no place to live, no one should be denied a doctor or health care, no one should be looked down on in this country because of race or financial position, but I'm tired of seeing people pull out food stamps to pay for their two carts of food and then pull out a wad of money that would choke a horse to pay for their beer and cigarettes. I'm so tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars being called poor, living off of our tax dollars. The majority of Americans didn't have all that in 1970, but we didn't think or considered ourselves poor. The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing for them to be re-elected. It is whatever it takes, right or wrong, to get re-elected. That is how they look at it. It is not what is best for the country, but it is what is best for them and their re-election.

I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems that they themselves has caused. We all know {the majority of us} that it is time to stand up and get these people the heck out of our government and elect people who are honest and truly care about this country and its citizens.

Yes, I'm really tired. But I'm also glad to be 64. Because, I'm not going to have to see the country these people are making or not much of it anyway. I'm just sorry for my grand kids and your grandkids who will receive the benefits of these people who control our government. Freedom as we have known it, our grandkids will never see if this country is not turned around soon.
