Sanctity of Life-A-1-A

25 Jan

Overturning Roe vs Wade was not the end but only a shift in the fight. Planned Parenthood  is pushing laws to allow unlimited abortions. They are hiding their involvement by funneling funds through other organizations and disguising their true intensions. In Ohio they pushed through a Constitutional amendment that  would nullify Ohio’s laws to restrict abortion after the baby was able to survive outside the womb. They pushed it on the pretense it would protect women whose health was threatened to gain sympathy, though the Ohio law already included that, but included a phrase that would allow an abortion if the doctors felt the women’s mental health was in danger, which gives them an excuse to perform abortions up to the time of birth, since every unwanted pregnancy is stressful to the mother. They also included a phrase that would not allow anyone to interfere with someone seeking an abortion. That means girls of any age could get abortions and their parents could not interfere with them getting it. Girls only 10 years old could get an abortion and their parents could not prevent it. That is a recipe for disaster. That means a rapist or sex  trafficker could get a girl pregnant and then take her for an abortion to cover it up. There are already numerous instances where rapists and sex traffickers are taking girls to get abortions and the girls are going through repeated abortions because Planned Parenthood has not notified the parents or child protective services. Sex with underage girls is illegal in all 50 States and laws require child protective services be notified when girls request  an abortion. However, Planned Parenthood and other abortionists openly ignore the law. They tell the girl to list her age as eighteen or over so they can avoid the requirements of the law, even though it is easy to tell that most ten year olds are not over eighteen years old. That is a deliberate act to get around the law.  Abortionists would still be guilty of failing to notify child protective services, even if they repeal the laws about notifying parents. The law protects children from sexual exploitation and the child is a person protected by the Constitution and State laws.

Voting-I-A-C

25 Jan

Democrats have been pressing to remove any requirements to require ID’s of people voting and the Obama Administration even filed lawsuits to force States to drop their voter ID laws saying that it discriminates against poor people. However, those who don’t drive can get State ID’s and they have to have ID’s whether they want to get welfare or to get a job so there is no reason for them not to have one. The only reason to try to vote without an ID is if you are an illegal alien or are trying to vote multiple times at different locations under different names. That also explains why the President has been so reluctant to shut our southern border. The more illegal aliens in the U.S., the more they can register illegally and get to vote. Of course, we could always compromise and allow people to vote without an ID if they allow themselves to be fingerprinted to allow the voter registration workers to verify they aren’t trying to vote twice and provide verification of residence and citizenship to verify that they are eligible to vote.

Voting-I-L-A

25 Jan

One of the main questions today is if our elections are safe. While Democrats claim that there is no evidence  of fraud,  repeated instances have been uncovered and numerous people convicted. However, the media has censored any instances of widespread fraud by Democrats while exploiting minor instances where Republicans were involved. For instance a mailman caught with several bags of ballots was hardly mentioned but a person taking several ballots from a nursing home to the election office was blown all out of proportion.  While Democrats have spearheaded efforts to loosen voter laws and open the doors to fraud, unscrupulous Republican candidates have not been above exploiting those possibilities.  America used to have the safest election system in the world. You had to go to the election board, present picture ID, and register to vote at least 30 days before the election so they could send your confirmation to your address to verify you lived there. Then you had to appear in person at a voting poll in your neighborhood, present a picture ID to a Republican and a Democrat election worker from your neighborhood, before you could vote. Since then, Democrats have sought to tear down those protections by allowing registration a wide variety of ways, allowing voting by mail and computer where there is no personal verification, and allowing you to vote anywhere so you can vote in multiple places without being recognized. Those open a wide variety of opportunities for fraud by both Republicans and Democrats, jeopardizing the safety of the ballot box. Americans need to press for returning to more stringent laws to protect their vote.

Third Sunday of Epiphany-Jan 21

21 Jan

Chores-As the elderly get older, they are can no longer do many of the things that they used to do. Relatively simple things like mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, and similar chores may become too difficult. Many do not have money to hire the work done and it is often difficult finding someone to do the work even if they could afford to pay someone. Christian neighbors can easily do the work when they mow their own lawn or shovel their own walk. Children can learn the value of money by charging small fees to do the work and it would cost the elderly far less than if they hired a professional company to do the work.

Voting-I-AX

21 Jan

Even though liberals say the Republicans pose a great threat to democracy, with no proof of any kind, they continue to show their contempt for democracy. Democrat politicians are urging Democrat voters to switch their affiliation to Republican in the primary and vote for the worst candidate so the Democrats can be guaranteed of winning the next election.  They don’t care anything about the will of the people, all they care about is winning so they can impose their will on the people. That doesn’t sound like democracy to me, that sounds like the working of a party that is trying to overthrow a democracy and establish a dictatorship. They are seeking to corrupt elections, discourage candidates from running against them by physical threats and legal harassment, and blackening the reputation of their opponents through frivolous accusations and investigations so voters won’t vote for them. Once in power, they pass legislation that goes against the wishes of a majority of voters They demonstrate open contempt for democracy and the will of the people.  We need to elect people who will respect the Constitution, the rule of law, and the will of the people. If voters don’t pay attention to who they are voting for, the day will come when we will be like China and Russia and a wide variety of banana republics who hold elections but the one chosen by the party always wins.

Marriage-E

17 Jan

The institutionalizing of marriage protects the partners from infidelity by the other. If a member of a couple who are not married finds another partner, they can simply leave and take up with their new partner. If the couple is married, they must divorce their current partner or they may be charged with adultery. Prior to the changes of the 1970’s, divorce was hard to get. It was only allowed in cases of abuse or desertion and adultery was a serious matter with stiff penalties so the wife was protected. Today, society often turns a blind eye to adultery and there are very few penalties for adultery. In addition, divorce has become so easy, one partner can end the marriage fairly easily. By allowing easy divorce, we are not protecting women who usually end up shouldering the heaviest burden of child care in the event of divorce or desertion.

One important factor is that marriage normally provides a safe, secure sexual outlet. If someone doesn’t have one, they are more likely to seek alternatives, such as pornography, prostitution, incest, and short-term sexual relationships. Our society is overrun with rapes and child molestation because people do not belong to healthy marriages that provide a safe sexual outlet. Fathers turn to their daughters for what their wife won’t provide, and mothers turn to their sons. Loners seduce or force themselves on strangers, both adults and children. Many then kill their victims to cover up their crime. In addition, many children growing up today without clear sexual rolls are confused about their sexual identity and turn to others of their own sex for the satisfaction that they should be getting from normal sexual relations. Many seek Gay and Lesbian relationships because they can not develop normal sexual relationships.

Immigrants-VI-R

16 Jan

President Biden has claimed he is concerned about the border crisis and has been attacking those who say he isn’t doing anything about it. In fact, he has been doing a lot about the border crisis, however he has not helped the situation. He stripped away all the money set aside for building the border wall, and in spite of his claims, he has not built any new wall. The governor and legislature of Texas got tired of waiting for him to do something about it and has begun building a wall on their own. In return, President Biden has ordered the border patrol to cut holes in the barbed wire to allow illegal immigrants to get through. He has also gone to court to stop Texas from building a wall and deploying buoys to prevent migrants from swimming the river. Everything he has done has been to hinder the efforts of border States to stop the inflow of illegal immigrants. He has also attacked those who claim that it allows drugs and terrorists to cross the border, yet many immigrants are being financed by drug dealers who enlist them to transport drugs into the U.S. in exchange for assistance in reaching the United States. In addition, an increasing number  of Mid Eastern terrorists have been intercepted at the border trying to slip in among the immigrants while border patrol agents are busy chasing other immigrants. In addition, he attacks those who say they take  jobs from Americans and result in increased crime. Many immigrants are hired by companies and paid low wages knowing they cannot complain without risking being deported for being in the U.S. illegally. In addition, they are virtually invisible because their I no record of their presence and are forced to steal to survive since they can’t get legal jobs.

Second Sunday of Epiphany-Jan 14

13 Jan

Many elderly worry about what would happen if they fell and there was no one to help them. Many get no visits except for those that come to deliver groceries or pick up and deliver laundry. They might lie for days before someone came. Others able to get out might become sick suddenly. A couple years ago, an elderly man in lower Michigan became sick and could not get out to the post office. The checks to pay his utility bill lay on his table but he could not get out to mail them. The utility company sent a shutoff notice when they didn’t get any payments and eventually shut off the utilities. The man froze to death without heat. There was a great uproar about how the utility company should have tried to contact him. Yet, it all could have been prevented if someone had called or visited him and mailed his letters for him. Calling and visiting the elderly regularly can prevent such tragedies and ease their minds.  I once visited an elderly lady who told me how thankful she was that God was watching over her. She lived alone and her only outside contact was a young woman who visited her every Thursday and washed her clothes. There was a bad winter storm on that Monday and the young woman felt God urging her to check on the elderly lady. She resisted at first because the roads were bad and it was ten miles away, but she finally decided to go. She knocked on the front door but got no answer so she went around back to knock on the back door in case the elderly lady was in the back part of the house. She found the elderly lady laying on the walk outside the house. The lady had gone out just before the young woman arrived (she didn’t remember why) and had fallen on the ice. Had the young woman not arrived when she did, the elderly lady would have quickly frozen to death. God had told the young woman to go even before the elderly lady went outside. Had the young woman ignored the call, the elderly lady would have died, because no one knew she was there.

Values-D

The fourth lie is the one that says everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It is a lie because they obviously don’t believe it, not because it isn’t true. They say everyone should be free to believe what they want. They feel differently and feel they should be able to hold their opinion regardless of what others believe. They claim they should not be punished for going against the majority. While there is basically nothing wrong with that, the problem is that they feel society should accommodate their beliefs. They use it to justify their actions which violate the rights of the majority of people. Transexual men feel they should be able to use the women’s bathroom or play in women’s sports because they feel they are a woman and feel society should allow them to. If they want to believe they are a woman, that is their right, but they violate what they say they believe when they try to force society to accommodate them. According to what they claim, society should be free to believe what it believes just as they claim the right to believe what they believe. If they want to go to a deserted island and practice what they believe, nobody will stop them, but they should not force their beliefs on society.
