What Democrats Want, Day 21, Countdown to Oblivion? DISCRIMINATION (Part 3)

As of today, there are 21 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election.

 

IS all discrimination bad? No. When can discrimination be a good thing? First, we’ll look at the definition of discrimination. Next, we will look at when discrimination may be good and even necessary.

 

Discrimination Defined.

According to the www.WebstersDictionary1828.com discrimination is defined as:

Ø  1. The act of distinguishing; the act of making or observing a difference; distinction; as the discrimination between right and wrong.

Ø  2. The state of being distinguished.

Ø  3. Mark of distinction.

Denying a person otherwise qualified a job, housing or education based solely on ethnicity, sex, or disability is wrong. Discrimination is not necessarily wrong in all situations, however. Over the years, discrimination has become and overused and abused word with almost exclusively negative connotations.

 

We All Discriminate and Can Be Good

Discriminating between right and wrong, between best and good, between good and evil are all a necessary part of life. There are absolutes. There are truths and there are lies. There are many things for which we discriminate.

Making Purchase Decisions

We discriminate when we make purchases. Do I use my limited resources and buy healthy, nutritious foods or do I buy junk food?  We discriminate when we buy clothes. Somethings may be too expensive or the wrong size, color, etc. We shop for bargains.

Using an ap like www.2ndVote.com, which researches and published what companies fund by their donations and causes they support, tells us a lot about that company. For example, I used to shop regularly at Kroger Foods, but now I don’t because they support the LHBT (Lesbian, Homosexual, Bi-Sexual and Transgender) movement by sponsoring Pride Parades. I rarely shop there anymore. I vote with my dollars.

Avoiding Going into Debt

We discriminate when we do without items and save our money to avoid paying on credit, for a non-essential item. Be budget our income to avoid having to use a credit care.

Choosing the Best over the Good

We discriminate when we decide to go to church on Sundays rather than to go fishing. We discriminate in selecting which TV shows, movies, sporting event or other entertainment. We avoid pornography and may pick up and read a good book instead.

Exercising Instead of Vegetating

We discriminate as to how we use our leisure time and include physical exercise over TV watching, for example.

Selecting a Spouse and/or Friends

We carefully choose who we marry or who we befriend and hang around with. You become like the people with whom you associate.

Voting for Moral and Principled Candidate

We discriminate between two political parties or between two or more candidates based on their positions on the key issues that are important to us and are important to society when we go to the polling booth. For me a party or candidate who supports abortion or same sex “marriage” or open borders disqualifies himself or herself from getting my vote.

Conclusion

The Democrats have lost all moral objectivity. They cannot discriminate between right and wrong. They think killing pre-born human beings is a good choice. They think sexually perverse behavior is normal, natural, health and “good.” They reject America being an exceptional nation. They even want to #DefundThePolice.

The Republicans, though far from perfect themselves, can somewhat still distinguish between right and wrong, at least more than the Democrats do. Most Republicans at least say they support human life and traditional marriage and they #BackTheBlue.

So, do discriminate when you complete your ballot for the 2020 election and do the right thing. Vote Republican up and down the ballot and #WalkAway from every Democrat candidate!

 

What Democrats Want, Day 48, Countdown to Oblivion? The Constitution (Part 2)

As of today, there are 48 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history. 

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election

TOMORROW is the 233^rd anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. September 17th has been designated “Constitution Day.” What a document! The Founders and Signors of that document were visionaries. There have been forces within this nation that have been and are working to negate that great blueprint. Next to the Bible the Constitution is the greatest guidance that could be provided to any nation

Last month on Day 76 the Constitution (Part 1) we looked at President John Adams' famous quote “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” How far we have strayed from our Constitution because we are for the most part no longer a moral and religious people. Our culture reflects that fact. 

Wisdom of the Founders

The Founders researched all the known forms of government throughout history and settled on the Representative Republic form of government. They knew a pure democracy would not work, where the majority rules. The Democratic party constantly refers to America as a democracy. We are not a true democracy. The Democratic Party was incensed from election day 2016 when Hillary Clinton lost the Presidential Election despite winning the total popular vote. The Democrats want to do away with the Electoral College, which the Founders established to give equal weight to all of the states, the big ones and the smaller ones. Each state was represented. The Democrats, if they had their way would govern by the majority, which means California, Illinois and New York voters would determine the Presidential in each election and would give no voice to the smaller states like Montana or Rhode Island.

Based on Biblical Principles

The Founders were overwhelming Christ-followers and they knew both history and their bibles, unlike many Christians today.  Believe it or not the entire structure of our government as outlined in the Constitution was built on the establishment of three branches – the executive, the legislative and the judicial. This pattern was based on the Bible characterizes the Judeo-Christian God:  He is King (the executive), He is the lawgiver (legislative) and He is Judge.

The Founders built in a safeguard, separation of powers between the various branches. The Constitution outlines the duties and responsibilities and limitations of each of the branches.

Straying from the Constitution

What we have today is the accumulation of decades of violations against our Constitution. All three branches under both Republican and Democratic leadership have allowed the culture to influence them more than the Founding Fathers. 

The Legislative branch, Congress, has allowed the Executive Branch to expand far beyond the original intent of the Founders into a mammoth, wasteful unwieldy bureaucracy. The government was primarily designed to provide for the defense of the nation. Now it has its tentacles in almost every aspect of life. Even to the point of limiting the size of soft drinks. I just heard today that one department of the federal government the Department of Labor employs 15,000 people.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is even a bigger violator of the Constitution. They have strayed from its biblical moral framework and have ruled that murdering babies is okay (legalizing abortion in 1973), legalizing sodomy (2003), permitting same sex “marriage,” and redefining sex by entitling gender dysphoric individuals (transgenders) to special rights under Title 7 discrimination rules (2020). These are just a few atrocious – culture killing - rulings in just the last two decades. There were many others leading up to turn of the century.

Conclusion

SCOTUS has been apparently reflecting the change in the culture in permitting its grossly immoral rulings. In doing so they had to destroy by misinterpretation parts of our Constitution. The Constitution was not made for an immoral and irreligious people, which much of America has become.  

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Maybe that is why if the now communistic Democratic Party would win both houses of Congress and the Presidency this fall, we would see the eventual utter destruction of the rest of the Constitution. Tyrannical communism would replace our constitutional representative republic. If you desire that scenario for America than vote Democrat this fall.

If you want a trend to less government, less regulation, more judicial restraint, a return to morality, restoration of the Constitution, then vote Republican this fall.

What Democrats Want, Day 51, Countdown to Oblivion? AMERICAN HISTORY, Part 1

As of today, there are 51 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election

THE Antifa rioting revolutionaries, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization, the Left, the ACLU, the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), much of the Democratic Party leadership do not think America was ever a great nation. These people and organizations agree with former President Barack Obama that America needs to be fundamentally changed. He and his administration worked tirelessly to bring this about. He has left large portions of civil service workers throughout government to continue his legacy of annihilating the America our forefathers gave us.

Changing Hearts and Minds K-12+

When the communists figured out that it would be near impossible to defeat America by force, militarily, they resolved to infiltrate and destroy the United States from within. Since then we have been suffering from truth-decay and much of the dirty work has been done through public education, our seminaries, entertainment, the press, etc.

1619 Project

The New York Times’ 1619 Project is just the latest revisionist American History attack. The NYPost.com article, “What the NYT’s 1619 Project aims to teach your kids,” says that the overall theme of the 1619 project is “out of slavery grew nearly everything that has truly made America exceptional: its economic might, its industrial power, its electoral system.” That article goes on to critique the Project further, “This distorted reading is an educational virus, engineered to infect schoolchildren and warp their understanding of our history — to make that history seem poisonous and evil rather than complex, tragic and noble.” The 1619 Project is an example of the lies being perpetrated by the Left and those involved in propagandizing the fact that America was never great, never exceptional.  

On a positive note, FoxNews.com reported, “President Trump said that the Department of Education is examining the use of the New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project in schools, warning that institutions that teach this version of history could lose federal funding.”

This 1619 is just one example of public school subversive curriculum pushing an obviously Marxist, anti-American agenda.

Howard Zinn

“Howard Zinn’s book, The People’s History of the United States, is one of the most famous American history textbooks ever written. His goal was to change the way Americans saw their own history by writing from the perspective of those he called “underdogs.” In doing so, he thoroughly distorts the true historical record and paints America as an inherently unjust nation.” That is an excerpt from The Federalist’s article, “Debunking Left-Wing Historian Howard Zinn Is Like Shooting Fish In A Barrel.”

LHBT Agenda

LHBT (Lesbian Homosexual Bi-Sexual and Transgender) History is recognized in some public schools. It may even be creeping in the curriculum of some public schools. One of the persons noted is homosexual Harvey Milk who was the first openly homosexual and LHBT activist to win public office (San Francisco Commissioner.) An important fact overlooked is the fact that the man was a pederast.  Increasingly public educators are pushing the LHBT agenda including the youngest children in sexual anarchy. This is a far cry from the purpose of education. One purpose is to teach morality and the LHBT is the opposite of morality.

Tomorrow, in part 2, we will look at other factors in our history that may help to explain some of what is happening in our culture today and which political party has the best handle on and the best perspective of American History.

Federal Bullying is a Three Letter Acronym and a Four Letter Word

In a discussion of the very leftist Alternate.org's article titled, “IRS, DOJ, SEC: Three-Letter Abbreviations For ‘Federal Bully’ Public entities act like playground bullies targeting journalists and whistleblowers,” commenters added the CIA, FBI, HS, NIS, NSA to the list of federal bullies. I added the DHS (Department of Homeland Security), HHS and the EPA.

I argued that Environmental Extremists who are now in control in the EPA and the White House are doing a bang up job of retarding or destroying the economy. The current occupier of the White House constantly calls for a balanced approach on the budget.

How about taking a balanced, reasonable approach to the environment? No right-minded conservative wants to destroy the environment.

How about starting with abandoning the false, unproven unscientific unproven notion of man-caused global warming nonsense? There is a whole industry and an academia dependent on this hoax. Fraudulent Al Gore and those who blindly follow his preposterous pronouncements are deceived.

One commenter, Pope Pisius, remarked to me:

Yes, I forgot. The likes of you reside in that world where up is down, in is out, black is white, war is peace, etc. etc.

To which I made this final comment for the evening:

And what does the Left. of which a big component are the environmental extremists, consider what is

GOOD

(morality,

traditional marriage,

worship of God,

creationism,

free enterprise)

to be evil,

and consider what is

EVIL

(abortion - the killing of innocent human beings for convenience sake,

worship of the god Gaia - or nature,

homosexuality - the wholly unnatural, unhealthy and immoral behavior and lifestyle,

evolution – the unproven unscientific theory perpetrated and promoted as fact, and

Islam - the anti-American, anti-Democratic, intolerant, woman-abusing political, militaristic, religious philosophy)

it considers to be good.

You, my friend, are the one who has an upside down way of looking at things...

Controlling Tragedies Like Newton, CT

I saw the above quote on twitter this morning. It's an answer to the American Leftists, like the President, who will predictably pounce on this crisis  and catastrophe in Newton, CT to push more of their socialist and secular agenda, namely taking guns out of the hands of all Americans.

HOW DO WE PREVENT THESE TRAGEDIES?

If someone was armed at the Newton elementary school like the principal, then lives may have been saved.

Actually, it is not the gun, man, it's not the gun. It's the basic nature of man. In and of himself or herself man is a basically depraved being. Collectively it is our increasingly corrupt culture that nourishes such violence as we see in the elementary school in Newton.

The only meaningful start to an answer is a return to a fundamental respect for life, and letting God and the teaching of moral absolutes (like the 10 commandments) back in our public education system. Without it we are doomed to see Columbine, Aurora, and Newton repeated over and over again ...

God and the Bible were expunged from the schools in the sixties and replaced by the repugnant secular humanism religion. God and the Bible are not a religion. There is no such thing in our Constitution as separation of church (or God) and state. It is a contrived notion of leftist activist judges who finagled it through the courts.

We must begin to purge the secular humanist religion from our schools and weaken its influence and grip on our culture.
THE CAUSE OF THE NEWTON MASSACRE

They took God out of the schools.

They took the teaching of morality and moral absolutes out of the schools. The 10 commandments are universal principles to live by. Teaching moral absolutes and character and values based on judeo-christian bible is fundamental to what America is. Other ideoloigies or political-religious-militaristic ideologies like Islam with its attending Sharia Law is not. Nor is socialism or communism.

They took Guns out of the schools.

Evil, Moral Relativism, and the Adam Lanzas of the world enter!!!

What did you expect? Nirvana? A social utopia?

THE ONE AND ONLY SURE SOLUTION TO THESE TRAGEDIES

We must recognize that the basic nature of man is corrupt.

It is just some people manifest or choose to act and misbehave in ways that are more repulsive than the rest of us - rapists, murderers, thiefs, terrorists, politicians, or lawyers...

Only if we allow God through Jesus Christ to intervene in our lives personally and individually are we not destined to remain separated from Him now and forever ... Need Him.

The Election is Over, But Who Cares? Let’s Turn Over a New Leaf

Barack Obama and most of the thieving, murderous, perverts retained their positions in the Government.  So what.  God is more powerful than Obama and the God-haters who voted for him. 

Even though Obama won, we can still defeat him.  No, I’m not talking about impeachment (though I am all for that).  We can defeat Obama and the forces of Satan by getting back to basics of New Testament ethics.  I am not talking about voting and campaigning (though I have nothing against that).  I am talking about how you live your daily life and how to make right choices.   

On the A Good Choice Blog, we often focus on issues like abortion, homosexuality, and the like.  God’s will concerning these issues are evident from the Scriptures.  Most evangelical Christians acknowledge this.  But on other important issues (which are not necessarily political issues), even most evangelical Christians have missed the boat.  Certain things which were not acceptable in the Church 100 years ago are now commonplace.  Little by little, compromise has set in.  It seems like everywhere I go, Christians use human arguments to justify their actions rather than using New Testament ethics.

We cannot expect to defeat the forces of Satan if we are not using the Bible as a guide for our live in every situation.  It’s not just about voting.  Therefore, I am starting a series of articles on this blog about some of the issues which I believe are the most blatantly ignored by most American Christians.  I believe that God is not happy with how we voted in this election, but He is also very unhappy with us in many other ways.  I am beginning to believe more and more that we need to first preach a message of repentance, and then the return of righteous in government will follow.

Courageous (2011)

I saw this movie, Courageous, last weekend at a large shopping mall near Columbus, Ohio. It was at one of those multiplex theaters, 16 theaters.

Courageous begins as the story of four sheriff deputies. Through the stories of their lives and situations that these deputies face, they learn by experience the fact that fatherless children are most likely to get into trouble. Many fatherless children join gangs and end up in jail. Our nation has done a poor job of encouraging and promoting fatherhood. Instead, though what may have been well-intended by some, the welfare state has criminally contributed to the destruction of the family.

These deputies, along with a young Hispanic father, together and individually, discover and decide what kind of fathers that God wants them to be. They begin to take responsibility for their families and children.

The movie delves revealingly into the lives of each man following their evolving decision to become better fathers. Each man faces challenges to his newly acquired beliefs about fatherhood. The movie addresses vital issues in a realistic, serious way, yet with just enough wholesome humor to entertain and inspire.

The men realized their need to spend more time with their families and they begin training them in the Word of God.

This all takes great courage.

RATING
 
This movie is exceptional. It is life affirming and motivation to life live with the purpose for which it was designed by God. It communicates essential and vital issues commonly faced by all men. Courageous is a ‘five star out of five stars’ flick. It can be simultaneously a learning as well as an entertaining event.

Every father, every man should see this movie now while it is playing in a nearby theater, or purchase or rent it when it is available.

The movie has its own website: http://www.CourageousTheMovie.com/.

Big (Joke) Whoopi

Cartoon by Glenn McCoy as found on Townhall.com 10/5/09

“Whoopi Goldberg said that film director Roman Polanski’s statutory rape charge of a 13 year-old girl was not a case of ‘rape rape’.

“Now does that make Whoopi just an idiot, or an idiot idiot?”

- - NewsBusted, Episode 10/6/09

.

COMMENT
.
Whoopi Goldberg and other Hollywood elites have recently come to the audacious defense of the criminal, decadent, and immoral behavior of one of their favorite comrades, film director Roman Polanski. This makes Whoopi and Polanski's defenders complicit in the crime. How in the world can such an egregious crime be overlooked, condoned or ignored?

New Prez Making More Pro-Death Moves

Demise of America

STEM CELLS
.

As fellow blogger, Matt, wrote on Friday, the American Pro-Death president wishes to appease and fulfill promises made to baby-killing scientists to fund the evil practice of embryonic stem cell research (ESCR). He is doing so despite the fact that little or nothing has been achieved through ESCR. However, virtually all stem cell breakthroughs and accomplishments have been made using ethical adult stem cells.

Not only is ESCR unnecessary, it is wasteful of funding that could go to adult stem cell research were there has been noted success. There has been little private funding of ESCR. There is a reason. It is also morally repugnant to kill human beings for the purpose of some pie-in-the-sky unproven hope for future cures. What does this say about our society, our culture? We are barbarians at best, baby killers at worst. Shame on you President Soetoro (a/k/a Obama), because your wicked intent to allow the creation of life in order to kill it in some unfounded hope to cure some. Really, you are only enriching some research centers and scientists you will allow to blatantly murder innocent human beings.

Both the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/) and ABC are reporting that President Soetoro (a/k/a Obama) plans to rescind the Bush policy limiting federal funding for destructive human embryonic stem cell research on Monday (March 9, 2009). According to news reports, a signing ceremony will take place on Monday at 11 A.M. This despite the progress made with ethically noncontroversial stem cells, which makes expanded taxpayer funding of human embryonic research untenable.

According to the Washington Post, “proponents expect Soetoro (a/k/a Obama) will simply lift the restriction without caveats and let the NIH work out the details.” Obama has said, "I strongly support expanding research on stem cells. I believe that the restrictions that President Bush has placed on funding of human embryonic stem cell research have handcuffed our scientists and hindered our ability to compete with other nations."

OneNewsNow.com ran an AP story on its website over the weekend which quoted Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council (FRC). He spoke in opposition to this move to provide funding to misuse human beings in experimentation. He said, "Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for experiments that require the destruction of human life. President Soetoro's (a/k/a Obama) policy change is especially troubling given the significant adult stem cell advances that are being used to treat patients now without harming or destroying human embryos."

I conclude that either the president is a fool or he is so bent on marginalizing life that he will stop short of nothing to degrade and disrespect it.

CONSCIENCE CLAUSE

The following information was received from the Life Legal Defense Foundation (LLDF).

The Soetoro (a/k/a Obama) Administration is also taking action to rescind Conscience Clause regulations enacted under the Bush Administration by the Department of Health and Human Services. The Proposed Rule to rescind the Conscience Regulations has been published in the Federal Register.

The proposed rule can be read in its entirety at http://www.federalregister.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2009-05067_PI.pdf.
Excerpts of the regulation state, “The Department is proposing to rescind in its entirety the final rule entitled “Ensuring That Department of Health and Human Services Funds Do Not Support Coercive or Discriminatory Policies or Practices in Violation of Federal Law,” published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2008 (73 FR 78072, 45 CFR Part 88).

Commenters asserted that the rule would limit access to patient care and raised concerns that individuals could be denied access to services, with effects felt disproportionately by those in rural areas or otherwise underserved.

The Department believes that the comments on the August 2008 proposed rule raised a number of questions that warrant further careful consideration. It is important that the Department have the opportunity to review this regulation to ensure its consistency with current Administration policy.

Accordingly, we believe it would benefit the Department to review this rule, accept further comments, and reevaluate the necessity for regulations implementing the statutory requirements. Thus, the Department is proposing to rescind the December 19, 2008 final rule, and we are soliciting public comment to aid our consideration of the many complex questions surrounding the issue and the need for regulation in this area.”

You may wish to submit comments by email at proposedrescission@hhs.gov . (See the proposed rule for detailed information about other submission options.) You can also call or write letters:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
200 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20201
Telephone: 202-619-0257
Toll Free: 1-877-696-6775

According to the Proposed Rule comments should address the following:

1. Information, including specific examples where feasible, addressing the scope and nature of the problems giving rise to the need for federal rulemaking and how the current rule would resolve those problems;

2. Information, including specific examples where feasible, supporting or refuting allegations that the December 19, 2008 final rule reduces access to information and health care services, particularly by low-income women;

3. Comment on whether the December 19, 2008 final rule provides sufficient clarity to minimize the potential for harm resulting from any ambiguity and confusion that may exist because of the rule; and

4. Comment on whether the objectives of the December 19, 2008 final rule might also be accomplished through non-regulatory means, such as outreach and education.”

Information on the Conscious Clause was taken from information received from the Life Legal Defense Foundation, P.O. Box 2105, Napa CA 94558, (707) 224-6675 (http://lldf.org)

Obama & the Social Issues

Cartoon by Glenn Foden found on Townhall.com 1/6/09

Does Christian America Respect Life Anymore?

". . . without Respect for Life, what is there left to respect?"

- - - Bishop Richard Lennon, Diocese of Cleveland

Protecting and preserving life is real moral and ecumenical issue, because abortion stops beating hearts. Hear their cry, America! So called Catholics or "Christians" like Barack Hussein Obama, or Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi claim to be followers of Christ. They claim up and down to be "for the least of these," but by their actions, their votes and their platforms demostrate something very different.

Here is an email I received from the North East Ohio Value Voters today:

"Cleveland Catholic Bishop Richard Lennon issued a statement today
aimed at clarifying the USCCB document Faithful Citizenship and dispelling the errant thinking that has resulted in some from its faulty presentation:

""I am concerned about many things that are being said about the teaching of the bishops. From listening to many good and sincere people who are preparing to fulfill their duty to vote as Catholics and citizens, I realize they are confused in light of what is being said by certain people. For example, we hear from some that the issues and concerns raised in Faithful Citizenship are all equally important as they all impact human life. This is not at all what Faithful Citizenship taught" (emphasis added).

"Bishop Lennon goes on to differentiate between issues which involve intrinsically evil actions, which "must always be rejected and opposed and must never be supported or condoned," and what he terms "life-enhancing issues" which "only matter if human life itself is a value of fundamental priority and is always protected. If human life is expendable, then these other issues really lose much of their significance."

""Certainly, abortion and euthanasia, direct attacks on human life, stand out as intrinsically evil actions," states the bishop. "(The Church's) teaching on intrinsically evil actions admits of no exception or compromise."

""(The) teaching of the bishops on immigration (and) other life-enhancing issues . . . fundamentally differs from that on abortion and euthanasia. The teaching on abortion and euthanasia are based on "God's truth" regarding the dignity and sacredness of all human life," he emphasizes. As such, these issues are "essential and foundational and can never be compromised."The statement concludes with a directive for all Catholics who are preparing for Election Day to be guided by this teaching, "for without Respect for Life, what is there left to respect?"

"Cleveland Right to Life is sincerely grateful to Bishop Lennon for the pastoral concern he has shown his flock in issuing this statement. With this definitive guidance from the bishop, who alone has the authority to teach the mind of the Church within his diocese, all conflicting theories regarding Faithful Citizenship can be thrown away. Where a candidate stands on the fundamental Life issues of abortion and euthanasia cannot be glossed over by his relative position on other, lesser points. Every Catholic is called to place these Life issues in their proper place as the most essential of all voting considerations -- and not to compromise."

Evangelical Protestants and their Preachers would do well to follow the Bishop’s counsel on this matter.

Gambling on the Ballot Again in Ohio

The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch newspaper runs a regular feature called the Hot Issue, where they ask their readers a question of interest and ask them to answer the question and comment on their answer. The following question was asked yesterday.

The Hot Issue: Should Ohio allow casinos?

My Response: Absolutely NOT! Gambling that Ohio voters will tire of voting no, one outside casino owner is playing his cards again. Issue 6 is nothing but bad news. It promises the world, but it will just open the door for Indian casinos to enter the state. If they do, then this casino between Columbus and Cincinnati will pay no taxes.

Gambling leads to all kinds of problems. The lottery was supposed to solve our educational funding problems. It did not. Gambling is a get rich quick scheme, benefiting only the owners, so just vote NO to casinos and gambling in Ohio.

.

Read today's Cleveland.com article, "Fight brews over Ohio's Issue 6 casino measure." Vote NO on Issue 6.

Teenage Pregnancies

The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch newspaper posed today’s Hot Issue: Do you think society has been too accepting of teenage pregnancy?

Comment: Yes. However we should really ask, “Why are there so many teenage pregnancies?” Why is virtue and abstinence-based sex education such a bane to the education elite?

I call it the Planned Parenthood Federation of America mentality. The secular humanists, which control our educational system, have seen fit to remove all moral absolutes, so long held in this nation, and replaced them for moral relativism and situational ethics. If it feels good do it. We are reaping the consequences what we have foolishly allowed to be sown in our grossly inept and inferior (when compared to other industrialized nations) government indoctrination centers.

But the alternative to teenage pregnancy, abortion, is much more abhorrent. Not in the eyes of Planned Parenthood which feeds on a culture of death, but in the eyes of moral persons everywhere.

Abstinence, virtue and morality are much more palatable, much more reasonable, much more beneficial to a free and God-honoring society, but they are apparently totally unacceptable under the secular humanist worldview.

nor drunkards,

nor revilers,

nor swindlers,

will inherit the kingdom of God.

“Such were some of you;

but you were washed (clean),

but you were (set apart for God-like living to do His work),

but you were (made right with God)

in the name of the Lord (through) Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

--- 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Yes, we are all sinners. We are all separated from God. We all need Jesus to overcome our sins and our sinful natures.

Scouts Honor

Words To Live By

I never was a Boy Scout. My brother was one briefly. Compared to gangs member, drug pushers, gang members, porn, drug, gambling and game addicted youth Scouts stand up and out. Instead of belittling and making life difficult for the Boy Scouts of America, we should be supporting and encouraging them in every way we can.

Here are twelve words that appear in the banner header of the Cradle of Liberty Boy Scout Council website:

Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent

These words almost seem out of place in 2008, or at least the secular humanist elite in academia and their politically correct educational, governmental, and science bureaucrats, judges, politicians and assorted leftist activists would have you believe and they often act as if they are obsolete and unfashionable. They laugh at traditional American values, principles and virtues.

However, these remain wholesome, virtuous words and ideas and character qualities.

These are the virtues and qualities that apparently are unwelcome in downtown Philadelphia nowadays. The Boy Scouts are being asked to reject and surrender their mission and standards in order to be permitted to continue to occupy the building which they honorably built, renovated and preserved for 80 years.

Essentially the Boy Scouts are being held hostage until they conform to those that hold ideals of an immoral, unhealthy, unnatural and abnormal behavior set. Unless they conform they are gone. The Boy Scouts are being asked by the PC mayor and his political cronies to stop doing good and to start conforming . . . Ridiculous

More fitting words, apparently more pleasing and acceptable for downtown Philadelphia today are:

Mistrust
Disloyal
Selfish
Unsociable
Rude
Rebellious
Morbid
Wasteful
Cowardly
Immoral
Irreverent

Is that what you want, Philadelphia? Well that is what you will get, if and when you drive the Scouts out.

We Need More (John) Freshwaters

"The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion."

--- Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence

This is the third in a series of articles about the middle school teacher ordered by his principal to remove His Bible from the top of his classroom desk. See the first article, "The PC Police Go Freshwater Fishing" and the second article, "More Freshwater News" as well as a related article, "Bible Now a Banned Book in U.S.A."

AGAINST FRESHWATER

[MOUNT VERNON, OHIO) Thursday, April 24, 2008 - "Freshwater controversy continues" – MountVernonNews.com reports this controversy has poured out into the Mount Vernon community. There are supporters and detractors of Mr. Freshwater.

According to an online article on the MountVernonNews website, “Retired middle school science teacher Jeff George (who) worked alongside Freshwater at Mount Vernon Middle School in the late 1980s and early ’90s . . . said there may be substance to other allegations that Freshwater used the classroom to advance his own personal beliefs. “The school administration has known for a long time that Freshwater was crossing the line, and he should have been fired a long time ago.”

“George recalls several occasions when Freshwater “didn’t always stay on track with science. What he was teaching was not true, and there have been numerous complaints over the years.” (On more than one occasion, evaluations in Freshwater’s file indicate that Freshwater was directed to work more closely with George in following the course of study.) . . .

““He (Freshwater) was promoting a particular belief system,” George said, “and preached against other religions, not just Muslims or Jews or Hindus, but also any Christian denomination that was different from his.””

FOR FRESHWATER

(MANSFIELD, OHIO) Thursday, April 24, 2008 - "We need more teachers like John Freshwater" – The following is a Letter to the Editor which appeared in the Mansfield News Journal on April 24, 2008. The following are some very enlightening words by David Green of Lexington, Ohio the Pastor, Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Mansfield. I took the liberty to bold some of the words for emphasis.

“The Mount Vernon school district ought to be ashamed. I read in disbelief the story about Mr. Freshwater's Bible. The part that amazed me is that he was not accused of teaching from the Bible, he was accused of having his Bible on his desk. I think this teacher ought to be commended for having his Bible in the school, and I wish there were more teachers like him.

“The First Amendment does not grant people freedom from religion, but it grants freedom of religion. The Founding Fathers did not intend to keep religion out of school. In fact, it was just the opposite. I own reprints of such 18th and 19th century schoolbooks as The New England Primer and McGuffey's Readers. These books are full of references about God and the Bible.

“Now the schoolbooks do not mention God, and teachers are apparently not allowed to even show their Bible in the classroom where the kids can see. During the early years of our nation, it was unheard of for one child to rape another. They had guns, but they did not shoot each other. Now, God has been "expelled" from the public schools and rapes and school shootings are much too common. Coincidental? I think not.

“These kids need to know the Ten Commandments, the golden rule, and the fact they were made in the image of God. The Bible was good enough for our Founding Fathers, and it is good enough for our kids today. I appreciate Mr. Freshwater's stand on this, and would encourage him to continue fighting.

“Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence wrote, "The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion." And in the Bible, we read a warning that we all need to pay attention to: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." (Psalm 9:17).”

MY THOUGHTS

Mr. Freshwater is a very excellent teacher. He is a remnant of the America of our Founders, a dying breed. Instead of condemning him as Mr. George clearly did above for living his faith during the week and not merely on Sundays, we should commend Mr. Freshwater for having the courage and integrity to say no to the PC police who told him to remove his Bible from the sight of the children. These same children have been exposed to far worse sights on vile video games, global warming propaganda films, immorality on prime time TV, the violence and sex in movies and music.

Churches, parents, students and the citizens of Mount Vernon and anywhere else in this country where faith is ridiculed, ostracized, demonized, stifled, persecuted and prosecuted need to stand up now to defend Mr. Freshwater's freedom. We need to say enough to the political correct, the homosexual crowd, the pro-abortion crowd, the ACLU, the education elite and all evil and leftist forces working to destroy the fundamental beliefs, the moral and the spiritual underpinnings of this nation. Here is a line in the sand.
