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.

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

AMERICA - The Two Sided Country

There is a question we all need to think about. It makes no difference if you are a republican, democrat, conservative, or liberal. The question is so important and it is for the American people to think on. “WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO AMERICA?” Is this the same America we all grew up in or are we missing something. Are we a two-sided country? If we look at how things are done in this country that is exactly what we are.

If a white man does not like a black man the white man is a racist. If a black man does not like a white man it is their first amendment right. If an American citizen tells a lie to congress they will be arrested for committing a crime. If a senator lies to the citizen it is called politics. The federal government using the taxpayers’ money spends untold amounts of money on prisons and prisoners, but not a cent on their victims. We can kill a helpless unborn child in the mother’s womb, but people will protest the execution of a mass murder or the killing of a wild animal in some other country. We can use the fetus of an unborn child but you had better not use that of an animal because it would be called animal cruelty.  In the public schools, our children are taught the homosexual is okay, but you had better not mention God’s name in the process or bring a Bible to school.

We do not burn books like some countries did some decades ago. We just re-write history to our liking and make new books. We got rid of the communist and the socialist threat in this country. That was easy. We now call them progressives. Something else I do not understand. For decades American soldiers have been protecting the South Korean border while we cannot protect our own border with Mexico from drugs, illegal immigrants, and gangs that will kill you in a heartbeat.

If you protested against Barrack Hassan Obama’s policies you were a traitor to this country, but if a person burns an American Flag or a statue of Donald Trump it is their 1^st amendment right. The TV, movie theatres, and the internet is loaded with pornography and all sort of filth for our kids to see but you had better not put a nativity scene, a cross, or anything to do with Jesus Christ or Christmas in any public place.

The government takes money from the people who work and gives it to people who do not work. Now in some cases that is the thing to do because some people need help. If a person is disabled we should help them. Sad to say over half the people could work but will not work in a pie shop testing pies. We call riots protest when in fact it is breaking the law. The burning of buildings and destroying property is not protesting. It is breaking the law. The only thing not stolen in a shoe store, during riots, is the work boots. Our country has become a country of handouts for the “WHAT YOU GOING TO GIVE ME” crowd.

All Americans will say they support our constitution but the fact is half the people will only support it when it supports whatever their agenda is and as far as freedom of speech goes you had better be politically correct.  Our kids are being dumbed down by Ritalin when a large percentage does not need Ritalin, only correction and discipline. Kids are started on video games at an early age and the older they become the more violet the games become. America’s children are the future of this country. Parents need to bring them up in the way they should go.  America’s downfall will not come from Russia, China, or some other country it will come from within.

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.

The Real Reason

Americans need to remember that  when you take away all the good things from kids that teach morals and good values in school and it leaves a vacuum in the hearts of young children which causes them being molded into little liberal robots (that believe in nothing good)...no respect or love for your country, no respect or love for your family, no respect or love for your flag and what represents, no respect or love for God or the values projected by this "idea", no teaching respect, responsibility, accountability or love, no fostering of creativity or positive role models and so on and so forth.

The biggest thing is the absence of God in the hearts of not only our children but their parents as well. This is the cause of the evil and devastation we are seeing across our country. How can a person rely on the choice between good and bad on just a "law" written on a piece of paper when the very same natural law (God’s law) is absent in the heart and our government does everything possible to keep it out of schools to be politically correct.

There is no more prayer or Bible reading allowed in school but we allow satanic clubs in school, we prohibit any and all references to God and good values or moral teachings and we promote and encourage all sorts of narratives, everything from homosexuals, lesbianism, to same sex marriages to Satanism and then we wonder what is happening in our schools and in this country.

What kind of reference point can we give a child today in America? They are allowed to have all the false ideas that are promoted by violent video games, the ungodly actors and movies that Hollywood promote, showing the president with his head cut off, actors and politicians calling for the presidents assassination (same thing as murder), it's good to mock and violently (both verbally and physically) attack people who think differently, and then people wonder what is happening to our kids. We are living in a Godless country. The only thing stopping this country from turning into true chaos is a few praying Christians.

It will take more than police patrolling the halls of our schools. It will take more than passing more gun laws or taking guns away altogether, it will take more than new mental health laws to stop all this. When we as a people realize there is a higher law that our country was founded on only then and only then will our country become what it should be.

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!”

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.

WHEN SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN

What an honor it has been for me and many other people to be an American, but the problem with me these past few years is the people in America are far from being who Americans really are and living by the precepts this country was founded on. It hurts me, and other Americans who believe in this country and how the founding fathers set it up, to see what is happening to our great nation. A nation that was founded one nation under God and the principles and laws found in God’s Holy Word.

In most places we are not be allowed to say a prayer at a public gathering, because we might offend someone. The truth is the people who do not want prayer as a part of their meetings should be more worried about offending our Creator. For He is the one who has blessed this country and made it work for over two hundred years. Now we offend people by saying the pledge of allegiance to our nation’s flag while illegal immigrants, in this country, display their nation’s flag and step all over ours. Prayer and any visual signs of our God are slowly being done away with. Only what we hide in our hearts will we be able to keep. The American people have been silent for too long.

The things that were once against the law are, in today’s world, now okay. It is now okay for the killing of millions of unborn babies, Homosexuals parading the streets, being married in churches, and in some cases standing behind the sacred desk. Americans may soon be able to choose to use either a men’s or a women’s bathroom when they go to a public place. Crosses are being taken off a lot of churches and they are now called campuses. We have a president that has said we are no longer a Christian nation. He said the constitution is flawed and out dated. It is time for Americans to wake up. They have been silent for too long.

It’s time to realize what is happening to our country. We need some powerful Americans (Godly Americans) in our government to begin to stand up for what the majority of the citizens want and believe in. As voters, we need to find out who they are and vote them into office. Don’t go along with elected officials just because they’ve been in office for a long time. They are part of the problem! Know who and what you are voting for.

The Politically Correct Boy Scouts

The national leaders in charge of the rules and regulations for Boy Scouts of America, voted yes, in May of this year, to allow the membership of openly gay Boy Scouts. They can now come out of the closet. Professor Beth Galley said, “It brings the Boy Scouts back into the mainstream of America.” In other words it now makes the Boy Scouts Politically correct in the country that we live in. But in fact this ruling will destroy the Boy Scouts as an effective moral compass for our youth. Just like giving condoms and birth control pills to children will destroy their moral compass. What is really going on here is there are people in this country that wants to get rid of God and His biblical standards. They have succeeded in our government, most churches, and many other groups. 

Scouting is a private organization that has been around for at least a hundred years. It teaches young men a standard of living, a belief system and a moral compass to live by. I remember when I was in the scouts and at that time it was a place where parents could send their young men to learn moral and spiritual values plus many other earthly values that would help them as they grew older to become a good moral fiber in our society. Because of the latest ruling from the leaders of the scouts those things are now going to go down the drain. Another victory for the politically correct crowd that it seems is trying to dominate our culture and to do away with God’s standards.

Now as a direct result of the pressure from activists of the gay community, the Boy Scouts have lowered and changed their mission statement. The Boy Scout oath of “On my honor, I will do my best to keep myself physically strong, mentally alert and morally straight.” On my honor, mentally alert and morally straight are strong words with high standards and keep values high. What will happen now?

The Boy Scout’s national committee said, “The organization will not sacrifice its mission and allow the organization to be consumed by a diverse and unresolved societal issue.” I’m sorry but that's precisely what has happened. As a society this country, for the most part has started to change the meaning of words today to meet the needs of being politically correct, doing away with many years of living by God’s standards and His moral compass. As I remember Boy Scouting stood for something; but let me say this, when you change your standards, you will stand for nothing. The Scouts, as well as the people of this country, need to lift up a standard.

Changing and twisting the rules, giving a new definition of words, which are the core of Scouting, is wrong! Boy Scouting will never be the same as it once was! The Scouts at one time was a mark of excellence! This country is no longer at a cross road. The country has chosen to take the broad road of destruction.
