The BSA Evolution Further Exposes Modern Progressivism as a Regressive Return to Uncivilized Society

In a civilized society, those with conflicting objectives, worldviews, or opinions openly and respectfully present their different perspectives. Each party will prioritize his or her goals and look for some common ground with the other party, be it a similar goal, shared value, or trade arrangement that is mutually beneficial. If one party wants something the other party has, then that party will either develop the skills and expertise to develop it internally, or they will work out a trade agreement. In civilized negotiations, there will be compromise on both sides, with each party giving up some lesser desire(s) to achieve the greater desire. Successful negotiations are built on trust, mutual respect, and a win/win  or even exchange on both sides with the shared goal of preserving or achieving long term peace.

In an uncivilized society, there is no negotiation or compromise. One party may deceitfully promise concessions with no intention of fulfilling those promises, or they may simply steal what they want by force, which may involve brutal, barbaric, inhumane acts. It is impossible to negotiate with a psychopathic liar, lunatic, or terrorist, for there is no trust, no shared goal, no mutual respect, and no acceptable compromise. Radical jihadists are an example. They will not settle for anything less than a global caliphate that rules the earth.  This goal requires the absolute annihilation of the United States, which they call "the Great Satan", and Israel ("the little Satan").



A wise, civilized person knows that all efforts to negotiate with, advise, appease, or seek peace with a lunatic, terrorist, and/or uncivilized nation or individual is not only pointless, but harmful. (Proverbs 23:9, 26:4) England's attempt to appease Hitler and Obama's Iran deal are examples of how foolish and costly such efforts may be.

What concerns me most about the continued spread and increasing momentum of the progressive worldview across Europe and North America is how it is turning civilized nations (particularly America, which was founded upon Biblical morality and the common goal of preserving life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) into uncivilized, barbaric nations.

What could possibly be more uncivilized or barbaric than the abortion procedure? Yet, in 1973, progressives made this practice, which involves ripping off an innocent child's limbs one by one and then sucking out his or her brains, legal in America. Unwilling to settle for that huge win, progressives have worked to expand abortion into the largest form of genocide in world history with the U.S. government helping fund over a million abortions in the U.S. and around the world every year. Progressives continue to battle against state bans on partial birth abortion, which involves fully delivering a child feet first except for the head and then cracking the skull just before it exits the mothers body. Seven progressive leaning states and the District of Columbia have no state bans on late term abortions.

Progressive professors have written extensively in support of infanticide, insisting it is morally acceptable and at times necessary for progress. We have already seen Britain's socialistic healthcare system hold children like Alfie Evans hostage in hospitals where they let them die while refusing other nation's offers to fly them overseas to receive lifesaving treatment abroad at no cost to Britain. The UK also has no problem leaving the elderly to die since they are viewed as a financial burden. Apparently, some human life (an unborn fetus, a sick child, an elderly person) just isn't as valuable to progressives as that of an elephant or a dog. To return to Hilter and Margaret Sanger's eugenics policies is certainly regressive, barbaric, and uncivilized, but societies readily accepts it when it is reclassified as progressive. There was nothing civilized whatsoever about keynote speaker Michelle Wolf's address at this year's White House Correspondence dinner. Her comments were cruel, raunchy, vile, and crude. She tore apart Sarah Huckabee Sanders as Sarah sat nearby. Similar vulgarities have characterized the progressive event for years, offering no mercy or compromise.

Professor Robert George stated the obvious with this quote: When students have an opportunity to engage in civil discourse, they don’t feel compelled to engage in uncivil discourse.” However, most secular colleges and universities are going to great extremes to remove the opportunity to engage in civil discourse, primarily by banning differing viewpoints.  With faculty members leaning Democrat at ratios as high as 23 to every 1 Republican (UNC Chapel Hill) or 11 to 1 on average, followed by decades of bullying and persecution to suppress conservative ideas and to expel Judeo/Christian or faculty (Reference: Expelled documentary), and given the banned words lists and systematic indoctrination throughout classroom instruction, Christians and conservatives have little to no voice on college campuses. Deprived of the opportunity to practice civil discourse, students are encouraged to become radical social justice warriors who skip class (or tests) to mourn or protest what they cannot change, even as the outcome of a presidential election. #NotMyPresident Google, Twitter, and Facebook intentionally limit viewer exposure to conservative viewpoints, and/or deny Christian websites permission to advertise. Most mainstream media outlets spin stories, print fake news, or omit any newsworthy story that does not support their progressive narrative. They have become propaganda mills, not reliable news agencies. Every day, progressive thought continues to dominate the internet, marketplace, and all media platforms, apparently hoping to take over the thoughts and steal the hearts of all people everywhere.
When radical progressive groups bring lawsuits against a conservative and/or Christian, the goal isn't simply to right a wrong or fight for justice. Their goal is total destruction. Bakers, florists, photographers, and wedding venue owners have all been persecuted, severely fined, bankrupted, or forced to cease and desist activities that the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect simply because they refused to participate in progressive venues that were contrary to their religious convictions. Business owners in Charlotte, N.C. were forced by local ordinance to allow men in women's restrooms, in direct opposition to their values and the best interests of their female patrons, until the state legislature intervened.  But then progressives from around the nation, including the Obama administration, threatened, bullied, and chastised the state for daring to uphold long held standards to protect the greater majority. The NCAA refused to hold high revenue tournament games in N.C. and various large businesses threatening to locate elsewhere. Even the Attorney General at the time, now the current Governor, secretly met with businesses to put pressure on the Governor and state legislature to overrule H.B. 2, after he had pledged to serve the governor and N.C. residents. In this case, the media played a powerful role spreading propaganda across the nation which also captured negative attention from foreign leaders. Uncivilized people do not allow differing opinions and will bully or destroy to suppress them.

Each of these progressive "victories" was not viewed as a settled case or a compromise. They were merely steps forward toward their goal of totally wiping away traditional American values. They aren't interested in logical or reasonable discourse. Give them an inch, and they will take a mile. They will not stop until they destroy anyone and anything that stands in the way of a complete takeover of our culture. 

The Boy Scouts of America resisted progressive pressures to admit gay troop leaders for a time, but they eventually compromised, hoping to appease their progressive bullies. That was a tragic mistake, however, because once progressives got a foothold, they demanded more. Then instead of seeking to reform the Girl Scouts to make them equal to the Boy Scouts in every way (programming, opportunities, reputation, etc.), the progressive went after the Boy Scouts again, demanding that they allow girls to join their boys' organization. As expected, the Boy Scouts caved again to progressive demands. Then this week the Boy Scouts agreed to change their name to "Scouts", which signals a complete overhaul of the Boy Scout's identity. Soon, the Boy Scouts will wither and die, having contradicted their original and fundamental values, purpose, and oath. Progressives do not agree with the Boy Scout's oath or values. They aren't seeking to be included and assimilated. They want to seize control and destroy anything that builds, nurtures, and protects (in this case, Biblical manhood and morality) what they hate.

Progressives also tend to oppose Christianity and the Bible because it stands in the way of what they intend to accomplish, which makes them useful tools of the enemy of our souls. When one honestly considers what the Bible teaches and the impact it has had throughout history, it's impossible to deny that the Bible played a huge role in civilizing the world. Remove the Bible from schools, the marketplace, and the hearts and minds of citizens, and America will crumble into a hopelessly uncivilized, barbaric nation,not unlike the Mayans, Babylonians, and other pagan cultures of the past. Will we stand by and watch our great country regress into a Nazi regime or a pagan culture that burns our first born children as sacrifices to fake gods carved out of wood and stone or to corrupt dictators who enslave us?

Dear friends, leaders, and brothers and sisters in Christ, do not try to negotiate with uncivilized, irrational people who reject America's founding principles, traditional morality, and the Lord, our Creator God and King. Let us make it our aim, through both words and actions, to share the love, joy, and hope found only in Christ Jesus. He is the only answer to our heart's desire for peace and our culture's plea for civility. Pray for the lost who persecute you. Resist false doctrine. Stand firm in the faith. Hope in Christ. (John 10:10)

Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus  (Philippians 4:5-7)

January 2017 Women's March

What exactly is the women's march protesting?

It couldn't be foul comments Trump made over a decade ago because they didn't seem to mind when Bill Clinton was actually DOING the very same things Trump merely mentioned and worse while still in office.

It couldn't be Trump's foul mouth because Lena Dunham, feminist spokesperson who sexually abused her sister and regularly abuses the public by showing off her privates, says FAR worse to bring out the most carnal nature of both men and women.

It couldn't be a march for women's basic human rights because they celebrate the fact that at least 32,000,000 women have been denied the right to live in an excruciating, barbaric manner through abortion. 

It couldn't be concerns over financial support for moms because the plan Ivanka put forth benefits all mothers in the workplace and those working hard to raise respectable children at home.

It couldn't be suppression of women because they have voiced their support for Islamic extremists who bind and hide their wives in burkas and do not allow them to go out into public, speak out, receive proper education, or live in any way as they please so they can focus only on bowing down to their oppressive masters whose militias take women as sex slaves during their violent conquests.

It couldn't be a march for gay rights because they oppose those who want to to wipe out ISIS - the group that inspired the killing of 49 members of the gay community in just one attack in Orlando.

It couldn't be a march for tolerance because they have little to no tolerance for white males, Christians, or conservatives who are persecuted on a regular basis by groups they support here in America. 

What exactly has them so upset, and what will this march accomplish?  I appreciate the efforts to keep it peaceful, though, so kudos for that.

The Paradoxical Progressive Playbook from an Outsider's Perspective

A week after the 2016 presidential election, news networks and liberals are still scratching their heads wondering what went wrong.  There has been no shortage of op-ed pieces written on this matter, so instead of offering up more opinions as to why Hillary Clinton lost, perhaps it would help to present an outsider's perspective of the progressive liberal agenda as a mirror to help progressives see what outsiders' see.

From a pragmatic perspective, the progressive narrative dominating modern American culture does not seem compassionate, logical, or hopeful.  Instead of presenting a dream for a better future, progressive ideals place America on a destructive trajectory. The progressive playbook looks more like a toxic pile of insulting labels and paradoxical talking points than any reasonable or helpful plan for positive change, so those outside of progressive herds refused to support such dismal plans with their votes. An outsider's observations of the progressives' rule book for playing the social change game, with all its many contradictions, are listed below.



The Paradoxical Progressive Playbook
An Outsider's Perspective
  • Truth is relative and tolerance is encouraged, except with regard to progressive platforms.  To join the progressive club, you must hold all views in common with the progressive elites. Comments, questions, or suggestions that oppose the progressive talking points will not be tolerated under any circumstance.  The marketplace of ideas now only has room for our ideas. Progressives value diversity as long as everyone thinks like we do. Freedom of speech is applauded during progressive protest events, but any speech that differs in content from ours must be silenced immediately. Use force when necessary.
  • Even though wealthy Americans and business owners create jobs, build the economy, support their communities, and give generously to charity, they are a menace to society and must be punished.  Exceptions exist for wealthy businessmen who financially support our cause and collude with progressive minded politicians like Michael Froman, a former Citibank executive, did when he purchased the right to appoint Obama’s cabinet members. As for the others who do not advance our new social order, we don’t need the jobs they create anyway since we can choose to not work and live off entitlements or to work for the government or globalist billionaires as community organizers, protestors, lobbyists, and politicians.
  • Facts never matter to us. We are ruled by our feelings, even when our feelings lie to us.  No matter how well people support their arguments with facts, if what they say makes us feel uncomfortable or compromises the validity of our worldview, they are wrong. Remember that there is no right or wrong, but we are always right, and they are always wrong.
  • Progressives are free spirits. We think outside-of-the-box. We will not let conservatives tell us what to do with our bodies! We support socialized health care because the government can make better decisions about our healthcare and our bodies than we can, except with regard to abortion.  We just need to make sure progressive elites maintain control of our national healthcare syste because they are so interested in fanticide and euthanasia, they will tell us to abort anyway, especially if we're poor, black, or some other "weed". (Also note Alan Guttmacher's work regarding Planned Parenthood, abortion, and euthanasia.)
"It means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization." - Margaret Sanger,  8 April 1923 New York Times article
  • To manage conflict, shut-down all conversations involving opposing worldviews. Preferred progressive methods for ending uncomfortable conversations include:  
  1. Make broad sweeping statements to categorize and insult entire groups of people even if the person holding the opposing viewpoint does not characterize that group as a whole.
  2. Use elementary school style bullying as needed.
  3. Complain that your feelings art hurt and start the water works.
  4. Protest, riot, and commit acts of violence that will attract the media and provide free press for the progressive platform.
  5. Apply labels liberally.  Popular progress labels include "sexist", "bigot" "racist", "intolerant", "xenophobic", "intolerant", "supremacist", and "nationalist".
  • People do not kill people.  The NRA and guns kill people, so support all efforts to ban guns and bankrupt the NRA. Allowed exceptions include arming terrorists  and running guns to drug cartels because the progressive government leaders who made those decisions know far better than we do what is best. If we ban guns and set up more gun-free zones, then we will be safe because terrorists and criminals do not break our laws.We can trust the Democrats in federal government (who let our men die in Benghazi despite repeated pleas for help not just from Ambassador Stephens and even from the Pentagon who had reinforcements ready and waiting to defend them) to protect us, so why would we ever need to protect ourselves?
  • Even though America was founded on Christian principles which even Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson (both of whom were not Christians) insisted were vital for democracy’s survival (we're writing all that out of the revised history books), even though Christians continue to be the most generous people on earth with their time and their money, even though faith based ministries provide more effective world relief and humanitarian aid than secular or government programs, and even though Biblical truth and strong Christian faith were what drove William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Abraham Lincoln, and U.S. Republicans to take great risks to free the oppressed, Christianity must be suppressed because it hinders our ultimate goal of suppressing all mankind.
  •  Since so many people have suffered and died in the name of religion, and since Catholics and evangelical Christians oppose our revolutionary ideas, both groups should be punished. To ensure that their influence dies, we will infiltrate their churches with wolves in sheep's clothing who will pretend to be like them but lead them all astray. (Reference "Catholic Spring" in the Podesta emails at WikiLeaks.)  Note how many have died under evangelical dictators in the chart below compared to atheists. Oops, evangelicals are note even listed in the top 10, but we do see 15 million killed under a Catholic dictator who was far more corrupt than he was Catholic.  Just don't look at how many people were killed by atheists, as our globalist minded financial backers are atheists, and we don't want to portray them as mass murderers. This chart only shows dictators, but while evangelicals and Catholics oppose dictatorships, progressives aren't for dictatorships either...well, not yet anyway, but that is where our agenda ultimately leads. It will be fine, though.  While ultimate power ultimately corrupts, these wealthy men who are vying for dictator status are on our side....at least for now. Oh never mind!
Source
  • So evangelicals are not mass murderers, but they oppose our "Constitutionally protected" right to kill out own children which overrules the child's God given right to life (in our minds anyway), and that’s a problem. Imagine what the world would be like if the 58 million Americans* aborted since 1973 had been allowed to live, love, laugh, learn and give back. We are not like the tyrants in the chart above because we only mass murder innocent people whom Planned Parenthood operatives convince us will make our lives inconvenient. 
*53 million from 1973 through 2011 plus approximately 1 million per year since in the U.S. alone 
  • Evangelical beliefs are far more radical than ours, especially in the way they treat women and children. Evangelicals actually teach that children are not an inconvenience but rather, a blessing and a gift from the Lord. They think separation of church and state means the government cannot dictate how they practice their faith, but we will make sure they are forced by law to pay for our abortions. Evangelical and Catholics are barbaric in the way they describe the partial birth procedure. Their medical accuracy and pictures make us feel guilty. (Remember again that anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable is wrong!).  The partial birth procedure is nothing more than turning the baby into a breech position (which is harmful for the mother, but losing sleep because of a baby's cries is no picnic either), and delivering the healthy, full-term baby backward, all except the head, and then while the body hangs out of the mother's body, the doctor simply pokes his scissors into the skull and then sucks the brains out.  It hurts like the dickens, but the full term healthy and vibrant fetal mass does not suffer forever. 
  • Thanks to the federal government’s progressive move to underwrite college education (which drove tuition prices sky high, but we don't care because unsustainable federal debt will bring down America and that is our end goal), progressive academia, college students, and millennials are now the most indoctrinated educated members of society. They are so indoctrinated educated that they can recite an entire diversity training manual from memory.  Some are so versed in social justice warrior skills that they can earn a PhD for a dissertation that labels STEM curricula as sexist on the premise that women cannot think objectively!  Post- doctoral research has become so advanced that one astute professor conducted a study that proved that pumpkins are racist!  While these educated progressives have no comprehension of basic economics, finance, history, civics, logic, or rhetoric, and cannot recite a single line from the U.S. Constitution, they know that Roe V. Wade gave them the freedom to abort babies.  They have no concept of communism or its ill effects. Nearly two-thirds of millennials surveyed agree with Marxist philosophy and 46% think socialism is good while 58% view capitalism unfavorably (view full survey results here), but that's good for our cause because socialism is a prerequisite for world domination, and capitalism works against us since it tends to restore failing economies.  They have no concept of the value of human liberty or of the ultimate price paid by countless American patriots to preserve it, so they would gladly trade their freedom, which has infinite worth, for free stuff the government buys with hard working taxpayers' money. They have no concept of limited resources or the implications of oppressive debt loads, but they have lots of ideas for ways to spend other people’s hard earned money. Progressive college students do not know how to handle disappointment as illustrated by the recent rioting, and they cannot deal with real life outside of their safe spaces, but they are expert protestors and have mastered the art of political correctness.  They will suit our  agenda perfectly.
  • Even though slavery existed in every ancient civilization and continued through the Babylonian, Greek, and Roman empires, all through the Middle Ages, around the Mediterranean region, throughout Arabia and Africa, and grew during the 10th century German expansion during which so many Slavs were taken as slaves that we derived our generic term “slave” from them), and even though slavery spread to Russia and the entire Baltic sea region and on to Portugal, Europe, Britain, the West Indies, and the U.S. colonies, white Americans are the only ones to blame for slavery**, even if white Americans have no genetic connection to slave owners and even if they are descendants of abolitionists. White Anglo-Saxons did not start slavery, but they did lead the efforts to abolish it. Even so, we will punish all whites forever no matter how much they stand up against racial injustice now.
**Please note that conservative Christians hold to a Biblical, benevolent patriotism.  We seek to manage our resources wisely, grow our economy, and honor God so that as He pours blessings upon us, we may be a blessing to other nations.  Our patriotism must never be a selfish, racist, or imperialistic nationalism. It's not about more for us, but about providing more benefits to the entire world through wise stewardship of the resources God has given us. 
  • Even though slavery still exists in America for people of all colors and nationalities here in the U.S. and abroad through human trafficking and radical Islam, and even though conservative Christians of all races strive to set them free out of human compassion and in memory of all who have suffered in slavery before them,  progressives tend to ignore such injustice going on right now all around us because we are so consumed with injustices of the past.  Besides, we rae more likely to stir up the racial division and the violent street drama George Soros wants by rehashing past injustices, making everyone feel guilty, and punishing the majority.  Instead of fighting against current slavery and gross injustice in a way that could save and heal countless lives, families, marriages, and cultures, we will accept financial donations from nations who encourage and support human trafficking. We will preserve and expand pornography and lewd entertainment both in pop music culture and in darker corners of the internet, child pornography, and pedophilia in the name of free speech, free love, and free sexual expression, no matter how violent or inhumane, to increase the demand for trafficked victims. Those who fund us profit most when we support sexual slavery, and those of us who choose to indulge in the lusts of the flesh enjoy the easy access, so it’s a win/win.
  • America is not great and never has been great.  Thus, America must be punished, weakened, marginalized and depressed so that the U.S. can no longer bring freedom, hope, healing, and charity to suffering people around the world.  The weaker America becomes, the more our wealthy, corrupt sugar daddies can radically transform America into vassal nation with no foundation of morality, no respect for the traditional family or the stability it brings to a nation, no rule of law, no respect for others, and no order at all.  In such a helpless estate, America will be poised and ready to become slaves to a corrupt, unaccountable, powerful, tyrannical global government. 

We ordinary outsiders whom progressives failed to consider during the 2016 election, are ruled by truth and common sense instead of progressive indoctrination and feelings, so we see the progressive agenda differently than they do.  It is an extremely clever strategy, especially as it has infiltrated schools, churches, and the media to totally transform how and what people think, but we wonder if the individuals who buy into this movement are being duped by their masters, or if they are deliberately allowing themselves to be used as pawns to dismantle America and to further the globalists' dream of uniting the entire world under their authority.  Such a notion may seem like a radical right wing conspiracy theory, but after 30 years of observing compounding evidence and perusing recent WikiLeaks and FBI reports, it is almost impossible to refute.  This 15 minute video provides a quick summary of all those years of evidence and outlines the globalists' strategy.

The Bible provides God's opinion on globalism in the book of Genesis. God initially created the earth to be one global community under His perfectly loving, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent reign, but the fall of man corrupted that perfect design.  The Tower of Babel account in Genesis 11: 1-11 shows man's attempt to unite as one global community, filled with pride and lust for power.  In His mercy, God disrupted their plans and spread the people out into unique nations with different languages to prevent them from become slaves to all- powerful, unaccountable, corrupt, global rulers.  When Christ returns to judge the earth, He will establish a unified kingdom, but peace, unity, and goodness are only possible under His reign, for only He is completely righteous, all knowing, and perfect in love and grace. Only God Himself can rightly manage that much power in truth and justice. Until he returns, antichrists will come and go. They will deny the truth, reject God, and seek to rule over people as gods.  But believers must be discerning and reject false teaching.  It should come as no surprise that George Soros and his posse of globalists, coming together under Soros' Open Society Foundation (aka Open Borders Society), are secular humanists who despise God and deceive and destroy that which God created for good.
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work. (2 John 2: 7-11)

When Choosing the Lesser of Two Evils Trumps Choosing Neither

To those still struggling (as I have this election in particular) with the question of how to vote if you're not comfortable choosing the lesser of evils because it still feels like choosing evil, consider that we live in a fallen world which regularly presents us with a choice between two evils.  Some choices, such as which route to take home during rush hour when you know both routes will tempt you to have unwholesome thoughts, may not seem as bad as this election.  Other choices involve much higher stakes.  If an intruder breaks into your home with plans to assault your spouse or children, will you choose to shoot the intruder or let him have his way with your beloved family?  Both options seem evil, but you can't just stand there refusing to choose either option because the perpetrator will certainly choose for you!  When given a cancer diagnosis, the choice between traditional chemo treatments vs. another non-FDA approved alternative approach will feel like a choice between evils. If you choose neither, cancer will ravage your body.  Whatever you decide or don't decide in any lesser of evils decision, let us remember that God could intervene at any time in any way he chooses.  Any choice, even a choice between two evils, that is ultimately decided by trusting in God's sovereign will and faithfully following His leading glorifies the Lord.  He sees the motivations and longings of our hearts which matter more to Him than the fact that neither choice is ideal.
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2)
Let us humbly and honestly consider ourselves as we evaluate imperfect presidential candidates.  I asked myself, "Do I consider myself too moral to vote for a platform I know our country desperately needs to preserve democracy, the Constitution, religious freedom, and the very lives of persecuted people around the world simply because the candidate representing that platform offended us with something he said over a decade ago?  Have I no words in my past which I wish I could take back?" I most certainly do, and without Christ I am nothing.  The choices began to look different for me when I weighed the Trump's character in light of my own shortcomings.

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. (Romans 12:2-3)

Eric Metaxas reminded me of William Wilberforce and Dietrich Bonhoeffer who chose to immerse themselves in corrupt worldly systems so they could stand for what was right with the goal of freeing the oppressed.  God's word led them to stand for truth, justice, and life despite the evil they had to encounter in the process. So God's word has great power to bring about change even through corrupt human systems.

I was also reminded of the way God has used wretched men throughout history who He humbled and brought to repentance.  The more I learn from wise God fearing men who Trump has chosen as his advisors, the more encouraged I am that he is closer to repentance than he has ever been before.  I wrote more about how the hope of repentance influenced my decision here.

When Trump first won the RNC ticket, I considered a write-in as a way to voice my opposition to both candidates and to draw attention to the type of leader we truly want.  However, I reconsidered as I learned more about how much is at stake in this election. I live in a swing state where every vote counts, and write-ins are not even considered in my state, unless they are for Jill Stein. If I even want the opportunity to vote for a truly conservative candidate who upholds Christian values in the next election, the I have to focus now on battling the overwhelming corruption that is overtaking our country and plucking away are freedoms.  As sad as it is to admit, Trump is the only candidate with a chance of pushing back the stronghold of corruption in federal government apart from God's supernatural intervention. The more I prayed and learned (not from the media's propaganda machine but through Wikileaks and those with direct information), the more convinced I became personally that I must use my vote, the only earthly power I have, to help stop Hillary Clinton. 

Frankly, this election is not about me or my preferences. It's much bigger that my family and my own personal concerns.  When I consider the slaughters, the persecutions, the unstoppable corruption and outright treason throughout the federal government, the out of control violence and division, the economic crisis, the international crises threatening nuclear war, the freedoms (religious freedom especially) on the chopping block, the expansion of abortion into infanticide territory with Supreme Court Justices (Ginsberg especially) who support eugenics, new support for "post birth abortion" as they call it, the plot to divide Catholics, the attack on conservative Catholics and evangelicals which includes insistence that they change their beliefs about abortion, Hillary's desire to repeal the Hyde Amendment, Obama's attempts to force religious groups to pay for the abortion pill through Obamacare, lawsuits that resulting in fining Christian businesses for refusing to participate in gay marriage ceremonies, and new pressure to cater to Obama's transgender bathroom mandate, it's just all so much bigger than any of my personal objections to a man's temperament or past words. Judge me all you want, but the more I dig up information that clearly counters the mainstream narrative fed to the media by the DNC to smear Trump, the more convinced I am that I have to vote with the "deplorables" even if the DNC election rigging schemes (verified by Project Veritas Action) are not stopped. The vote and continued uncovering of the truth are all we have left in terms of human power.  But prayer is always our greatest resource, for the Almighty God has all authority and all power to deliver us.
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the
majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is
your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. Wealth and
honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might
are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given
strength. (1 Chronicles 29:11-12, (NLT)
But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare...
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:7, 11-13)
Addendum
As I have openly and honestly described my own struggle with this election dilemma, I am concerned that my words or opinions may have offended members of God's precious family of faith.  So I have issued and apology and an appeal for unity on the next blog posting found here.

How to Unify Such Divided People

"Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork automatically are tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to the one standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become "unity" conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship." - A.W. Tozer
Only by looking to God will we regain unity in the church and in our nation. No political leader can restore that unity, but at least one presidential candidate is striving against that goal by plotting to disrupt our worship. Thank God His power is infinitely greater than any man's or woman's on earth.
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6)

The Civil War in the U.S. and the abolition movement led by William Wilberforce in England was ignited when humble men looked to God for truth and direction. Freeing the oppressed is a Biblical mandate.  It was never merely a human movement. God brings unity. 

I should add here that even the founding fathers who would not have called themselves Christians, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, supported unity of the people by focusing on shared values and the common morality placed in the hearts of all men.

But when we rewrite the Constitution (using case law that interpreted an IMPLIED Constitutional right to privacy to include dominion over one's body as greater than the explicit right to life and superseding the 12th, 13th, and 14th amendments) to justify murdering the unborn (which has now been expanded past Roe v Wade to include the most barbaric practice of partial birth abortion at the end of pregnancy), we have lost our moral compass.

When we allow the injustice by one to justify the senseless murder of heroes and violent rioting in the streets, we have lost our moral foundations.

When we allow criminals to go free because corruption is too far reaching to contain and indicting one would bring down the entire Obama administration since all knew about the illegal email server and continued to exchange classified information with her through that server, we have lost the law that holds us together.

When we continue to let our children have free TV viewing and pay for cable TV after learning that in just the two years between 1997 and 1999, violence increased 86%, sexual content went up 77%, and foul language rose 58%, we have turned our attention away from the moral decency upon which our country was founded and chosen to worship smut instead.

When we dishonor our veterans, the flag, or the national anthem, we dishonor the courageous heroes who suffered and/or died to protect us and spitefully put the liberties which made America the beacon of hope for all the world in jeopardy.


When we are more concerned with normalizing psychological ailments, even if it means putting women and children at greater risk of abuse or PTSD, we are steering those in most need of help away from resources that could bring them lasting healing and freedom and instead leading them down a path that is much more likely to result in suicide. We have traded true compassion for a selfish desire to be accepted by a lost and deceived society.

When we continue to support US leaders who are arming ISIS and accepting millions of dollars from countries supporting ISIS, who knew about pending terror attacks and refused to let the FBI stop them - and then refused to acknowledge that ISIS was behind it when ISIS took credit for it, we have lost sight of both the truth and what is right. We have sold the lives of the innocent for fleeting money.  Their blood guilt is on our hands.

When we suppress the poor to keep them poor and to keep them from personal independence so as to buy their votes for selfish gain, we have lost the fundamental value of love for our fellow men.

When we would rather be slaves to a corrupt government than take personal responsibility for ourselves and our fellow man, we have turned away from the chief goals of our founding fathers and have chosen socialism which quickly becomes communism over liberty and justice for all.



21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.  (Romans 1:21-32)

From Betrayal to Everlasting Hope of Glory

Earlier today, I was sitting in my hairdresser's chair feeling betrayed by Hillary and the Obama administration (AGAIN!) as I caught up on the recent Wikileaks, specifically the John Podesta emails, which indicate that Hillary either knew or claimed that "Qatar and Saudi Arabia were providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL".  Meanwhile Hillary continued to collect millions of dollars from both Qatar and Saudia Arabia. (Saudia Arabia has bragged that they funded 20% of Clinton's campaign with estimates over $25 million.) while also running guns (funded by US taxpayers) to ISIL rebels. So we're arming the people who are brutally butchering and massacring innocent people all over the world and right here in America while severing our relationship with the nation that should be our closest ally, Israel.

I already felt betrayed by voters who picked someone with a crude tongue, loose morals, and a wild temper who made some of his fortune by catering to the destructive personal vices of Americans (gambling, objectification of women) as the RNC candidate.  The betrayal that stung was by the evangelical Christians who did not bother to vote at all in the primaries leaving us with the motivated angry mob's choice , who also got help from DNC crossover voters.  All this scandal with Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration, however, was just too much betrayal, or perhaps treason would be the better word, to handle.

But then....I heard the lovely accent of a tall, tattooed, Jordanian hairdresser next to me sweetly sharing God's word and the truth that Jesus is the Messiah with his client. As I heard him say, "He is the Alpha and the Omega", I remembered that Jesus never has and never will betray us or forsake us. God is still at work all around us accomplishing His eternal purposes in the lives of each of us. He hears our prayers. He knows our fears. He feels our pain. He comforts the broken, and He is coming again. Jesus will never fail us! Look up, my friends. Our hope is in Christ alone!
26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  (Colossians 1:26-27)
This picture was taken during our January trip to Israel from the Israeli shore of the Dead Sea and shows Jordan, this blessed, joyful hairdresser's home, in the background. That hairdresser had fled to Egypt all alone at age 12 and surely experienced much heartache and suffering. When I went back later to thank Him for speaking God's TRUTH that saves in love and with boldness, that towering, intimidating looking man, looked down at me with tears in his eyes and with the voice of such grateful humility said, "Don't thank me. Thank Him! Jesus saved me!" Such joy...such unspeakable joy I beheld in his beautiful face!

Trading Trump's Comments for Good

I cannot and will not defend Trump for his lewd comments about women, but there are ways to bring some good out of it. Since Hillary and Trump are such master deal makers, why not make a trade deal? For every stone someone throws at Trump for his comments, that person must do something to push back the objectification or abuse of women.
“...Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone...."  (John 8:7) 
For example, each time you criticize Trump for his comments, delete or destroy any Beyonce' music (especially Lemonade, Rocket, Partition, Blow, and Drunk on Love ...or so I am told as I refuse to listen to her) you own or refuse to patronize her. Her lusty lyrics are even more profane than Trump's comments and further objectify women which only increases the tendency of men to mistreat women. She even references the Monica Lewinsky incident in her lyrics in an obscene way.  Choosing to boycott Miley Cyrus would be another stop in the right direction away from obscenity.

For each stone you hurl at Trump, consider adding one more layer of internet protection (like Covenant Eyes) to keep pornography out of your heart and your home. Pornography feeds lewd thoughts, sexual addiction, harmful words, and rape. It also tears apart marriages and families.

Any woman who finds Trump's comments offensive yet reads erotica like Fifty Shades of Grey is no less guilty than he. That book portrays male domination, emotional manipulation, sexual perversion, and emotional/physical/sexual abuse in a glamorous light while merging religious blasphemy with excessive use of obscene, vulgar language. Erotica novels twist what God created to be a pure, righteous, Christ honoring, pleasurable act which represents the union of husband and wife in mind, body, and spirit into something uncomfortable, lewd, painful, violent, and twisted with more of a severing of mind, body, and spirit than any lasting union. While pornography uses and abuses women who are often trafficked into the industry and therefore physically and emotionally unhealthy, both pornography and erotica fiction set up unreasonable and false expectations that will only result in increased disappointment in real life encounters with one's partner. Porn stars are dolled up with excessive makeup and professional hair styling while trained to assume the most provocative poses before Photoshop editing perfects them into something completely fictitious.  However, erotica books open a woman's mind to fantasize far beyond anything a Photoshop wizard or makeup artist could possibly conjure in pixels, so in that regard, erotica fiction is even more harmful for marriages than even pornography.  So, if you plan to blame Trump for his crude comments, destroy every hint of erotic fiction you own, and fill your mind with what is good. 

To Hillary and Michelle Obama, who are big fans of Beyonce' and have promoted her as a role model, choose instead to lift up women characterized by wisdom, modesty, and integrity as role models. Stop insisting that women's lives aren't worth living if their lives weren't planned through your push for increased taxpayer funded abortion. Stop normalizing perverse sexual behavior through your platforms and allegiance to Planned Parenthood, an organization that deliberately doles out the LEAST effective contraceptives (as verified and reported by Consumer Reports) along with propaganda that encourages young people to act like dogs and treat each other like pieces of property instead of sacred beings to be treasured, so they'll come back for high dollar abortions.
 
If you want men to stop talking trash, stop treating women like trash, especially women who have been abused or trafficked.

And Hillary, for each time you reference this old video, sever a deal or refuse money from those who regularly buy and/or sell women and children into slavery.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but we can push back darkness with light!

 

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."  (Romans 12:21)

Make God Great in America Again!

All last week, we heard convention delegates shout, "Make America great again!" I can certainly empathize, given that what we have now in America is anything but great. It's sad and pathetic in some ways and despicable in others.

This refrain reminds me of ancient Israel. How they suffered under Roman oppressors. How they longed for the promised Messiah to finally come to their rescue and make Israel great again. They imagined the Messiah would be a victorious warrior or political persona who would drive the Romans out of their land and restore their monarchy (from the line of David) to the throne.
When Jesus was crucified, his followers were crushed, perplexed, overcome by grief and loss as they must have cried, "This is NOT how things were supposed to turn out! Why is this happening? I thought He was supposed to fix our national problems."

I find myself saying the same thing about our current political situation, and I'm living in the land of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity!

Just after His resurrection, Jesus showed some of His followers the Old Testament Messianic prophecies, all of which He fulfilled perfectly. (Luke 24).

(Note:  There are over 300 Messianic prophecies with 29 fulfilled all on the same day He was crucified, and the probability of one person fulfilling only 8 of those is 1 x 1017. )

Then they realized why He first had to die and that God's first priority is saving the souls of men which last forever. He is more concerned about our hearts and souls than our politics.

Christ is coming back to as a conquering King to set up His new kingdom in righteousness, but for now, He's waiting for more to acknowledge His first coming and receive His free gift, the redemption we could never earn or deserve on our own. Through Him (and Him alone) our hearts can be made new.

What good is powerful earthly nation when the hearts and souls of its people are desperately wicked? Don't give me a strong army if it is directed by those with a lust for power that knows no bounds or who consider themselves accountable to no one. Don't give me a wealthy nation if the riches come through the oppression of others. Don't make America a world leader if her influence will be a corrupting one, leading nations astray.

We don't need gun control, immigration reform, a wall, free handouts, or more government. What we really need instead are PURE HEARTS!

No political figure can give us new hearts, but we can pray for leaders at every level who will model moral uprightness and make decisions with wisdom and integrity. But only Christ can change our hearts and save our our souls. If we want to make American great again, it must begin with repentance.  Let it begin with me.


Addendum
After sharing these thoughts with my friend Marie, she reminded me of one of Ronald Reagan's great speeches in which he said, "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

She also shared with me this familiar, profound, and most excellent quote:  
"A French philosopher who visited our shores when America was a new young nation left a similar warning. Alexis De Tocqueville said he came to the United States to learn what magic quality enabled a handful of people to defeat the mighty British Empire twice in 35 years. He looked for the greatness of America in her harbors and rivers, her fertile fields and boundless forests, mines and other natural resources. He studied America's schools, her Congress, and her matchless Constitution without comprehending America's power. Not, until he went into the churches of America and heard pulpits "aflame with righteousness" did he understand the secret of her genius and strength. De Tocqueville returned to France and wrote: "America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

A vote for Hillary is an act of betrayal

Brave men and women serving in the armed forces and police and fire departments put their lives in danger every day out of love for their fellow men.  Soldiers pay the ultimate price to preserve our freedom as Americans. Police officers are blown to bits in an effort to save one person from the fires of another person while the public casts stones, calling them racists.  Firefighters stand ready to touch the flames of death in an effort to save a single life or a home. The value of something is measured by what someone is willing to pay for it, and giving one's life is the highest price we can pay.  The principles upon which America was founded are dying out across the globe.  If we lose our freedom, self governance, preservation of life, and Constitutional law in America, there will be no where else to run.  We are the last hope for the world, and we are squandering it.  By electing Hillary, we would be handing over everything our servicemen fought for over the past 240 years.
Patrick Henry convinced Virginia to join the Revolutionary War with this famous quote: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" As America teeters on the brink of forfeiting all her freedom to a godless, totalitarian state, to vote for Hillary Clinton is to choose the death of liberty and to betray the founding fathers and patriots who served, sacrificed, and suffered for the liberty Americans are forsaking.

But what about the system of checks and balances?  How could I possibly expect one branch to tear down everything America stands for when the other branches were established to hold the executive branch accountable?  The system of checks and balances is broken, particularly when it comes to the corrupt and lofty power of the Clintons. We have a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court, but five of the eight members of the court currently presiding have started rewriting the Constitution to suit their whims and legislating from the bench.  Hillary is determined to appoint a liberal justices who will continue the systematic dismantling of the U.S. Constitution and the degradation of it's authority over the government elite.  Congress cannot agree on anything that will pass socialistic minded officials like Obama or Hillary, nor have they been successful in convincing the AG to prosecute Clinton or her untouchable cronies, although they certainly have tried.  The current ruling from the SCOTUS on Texas' abortion safety regulations and the failure by the FBI and AG to indict Hillary Clinton for a lifetime of felonies, with the most recent felony putting national security at great risk, while ignoring her incessant lies, both under oath and to the public, have shown the utter contempt for the rule of law in America and proven just how powerful and corrupt the Clinton machine has been in nullifying any efforts to hold them accountable or bring them to justice.

Hillary is the antithesis of all that America represents, so it would be better to take a bullet as a patriot than to vote for the one who would undo all that remains of American liberty.  I could never vote for her with a a clean conscience because she is profoundly corrupt.  She is a liar, murderer, and traitor.  She defies the U.S Constitution and the system of checks and balances established by our founding fathers, and has illustrated her lust for totalitarian control by placing herself above the law instead of being subject to it, throughout her years at the White House.

"Wait a minute," you say, "if this is a Christian blog, you should not be saying ugly things about her." Indeed it is wrong to slander, but is it not loving to point out the truth when the truth can set us free.  Armed with the truth, voters can protect and preserve liberty and life for all Americans.  Real love sacrifices for another. (John 15:13)  Fake love says whatever someone wants to hear and avoids uttering anything that could put him/her in disfavor with authorities, no matter how corrupt those authorities may be, for fake love serves self. Fake love seeks the approval of others and lacks the courage to stand for truth and justice.  As I recall how beauty pageant winner, Miss Turkey, was thrown in jail for words spoken against a current leader years before he came into power, I remember similar comments spoken from Clinton, seeking to silence anyone who would say anything negative about her. It's a risk to speak out, but it's a risk worth taking out of love for Americans and for all who may seek to flee to the U.S. for shelter, liberty, and opportunity to start a new life.

So the truth is that even Hillary Clinton was made in the image of God, but she has spent her life as an idolator, bowing down to the gods of power and narcissism. No man can see her heart, but we can see her deeds which reveal the substance of her heart, and her deeds are evil. 
43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."   (Luke 6:43-44)
Her deeds show her to be an enemy of freedom, American values, the rule of law over the political elite, and the American people.  I see a vote for Hillary as an act of treason for the following reasons which I would support with recent examples below.
  1. She is a liar and a murderer of children.
  2. She is a liar and murderer of American men and women.
  3. She is a lifetime criminal and traitor with no regard for national security.
  4. She has repeatedly abused her power and squandered taxpayer dollars for selfish gain. 
  5. Due to corruption and fraud, she is above the law, accountable to no one.
  6. Despite her many powerful government positions, she has accomplished nothing to benefit Americans.  Her only accomplishments involve her mastery as a con-artist with some sort of immunity to legal justice.
She is a liar and a murderer of children.  
She not only supports abortion, she defends it with lies while seeking to expand abortion services and taxpayer funding for such services. Her campaign ads suggest that she cares about women, children, and minorities, but her infatuation with Planned Parenthood proves otherwise.  It is impossible to care about about children, minorities, individuals with special needs,and  the poor, while continually fighting for more taxpayer funding of the abortion industry. If Hillary really cared about children and orphans, she would tell and show the world that all life is sacred and that children are a reward (Psalm 127:3) worthy of protection and love. She would not keep insisting that the best way to help minorities or kids with special needs is to kill them before they take their first breath.
She spews forth outrageous lies in her efforts to defend the brutal dismemberment and the sucking of babies' brains while in the womb.  Consider this screen capture from her own Twitter account.
 
Anyone who has read the Texas law (HB 2) the SCOTUS shot down knows that it simply required that abortion facilities meet the same regulatory standards that other medical facilities must meet. The law was designed to make this barbaric procedure safer for women. A law like this one could have prevented the horrific abuses against women performed by Gosnell and others. Wasn't the whole justification for Roe vs Wade to move "back alley coat hanger abortions" to safer conditions? So what kind of conditions do these abortion clinics provide if the Texas regulations would have shut down half of the abortion clinics in the state? 

If Hillary truly cared about women's safety, then she would support the Texas regulations that were written in the interest of women, and she would stop trying to push baby killing, particularly among the non-white, as they are the primary recipients of abortion propaganda and abortion services.  Abortion kills minorities at three times the rate of non-Hispanic white children, just as Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger, mother of eugenics and extreme racist, intended. As the recipient of the Margaret Sanger award, Hillary knows exactly what Sanger stood for, and she praised her! 
 
As is typical of Hillary, her celebratory post is a bag of lies intended to mislead the people. There is one truth in her statement, however. She did rejoice over this ruling just as ancient Babylonians celebrated as they threw their first born children into the fire as a sacrifice to Molech. It really isn't all that different.  Abortion sacrifices children on the altar of personal convenience or bigotry whereas ancient pagans sacrificed their children with the hope their false gods would bring them something they selfishly desired. The ancient pagans through their children into the fire.  Modern pagans (abortion doctors) through other people's children into the toilet or trashcan.

Hillary's support of partial birth abortion (the procedure is described here but it basically involves delivering the baby's body with arms and legs moving outside the body but then stabbing the head with scissors and sucking the brains out before pulling the head out) proves how little she cares about how barbaric the procedure is, and her opposition to standard safety regulations on abortion facilities shows that should doesn't care about the mother either.  Apparently, Hillary does not care if the woman starts hemorrhaging or develops a serious infection and cannot get to a hospital in time to save her life.  Margaret Sanger would not have cared either, especially when the woman having the abortion was of "lesser stock" according to her wicked assessment. It is fitting that Hillary received the Margaret Sanger award, for they are two peas in a pod, but at least Sanger was honest about how she felt, depraved as her opinions were. 

Hillary likes to say that women need access to abortion everywhere regardless of the abortion facility's conditions because abortion saves women's lives, but even Hillary is intelligent enough to know the truth. 44 million babies died via abortion during just the first 30 years after Roe v Wade, and 47,000 women die each year from unsafe abortions. But only in rare cases is an early stage abortion a threat to a woman's life. In the few cases where a late term pregnancy puts the woman in any danger, it is almost always safer to deliver the baby or perform a C-section than to put the woman's body through the abortion procedure. Then there are all the other risks and side effects on the mother following the abortion procedure itself. These are life long implications that far exceed any inconvenience the pregnancy and delivery may have incurred. But women aren't told the truth in abortion clinics, and now that this law has been shot down, they will continue to be fed lies and treated as revenue streams instead of hurting souls in need of life giving hope and love.  

This past week, we celebrated our national independence. The Declaration of Independence states our founding fathers' intent, to preserve the right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS. The Constitution was written to protect these rights, not to make sure baby butchers can set up abortion clinics at every street corner without meeting basic medical regulations. As for liberty - for those who claim, "It's my body, my choice!", yes, that is YOUR body and except in cases of rape, you chose actions that enabled conception, but that baby growing in YOUR body is not YOUR body. Last I heard, humans only have one heart and one brain. That little life growing inside of you is a unique and precious soul who will be denied the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness when severed into bits by the abortion provider. Abortion sends many women into deep depression, but bringing a new life into the world is one of the greatest joys on earth. 

The SCOTUS clearly and blatantly obstructed justice with this ruling. They acted as judicial dictators rewriting the law instead of interpreting it. Read Clarence Thomas and Alito's dissents for more evidence proving this point.  The founding fathers established America as a country where life is protected and where children can live and grow, but Hillary's stance on abortion reflects contempt for any life that is inconvenient which evidences her humanism and worship of self. 
 
Clinton wants to remove religious liberties for Christians.
Hillary is so set on expanding abortion that she has insisted that Christians will have to change their religions views to accommodate more abortions.“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed" in a speech at the 6th annual Women of the World Summit. Obama and Hillary have both pushed for Christians to fund abortions through Obamacare which violates religious liberty, and both have sided against Christians in cases where business owners refused to provide products/services for gay weddings while gladly providing services for any other venue gay couples may have that does not violate the shop owners' religious convictions.  There were plenty of other competitors nearby who would provide these services but in each case, the gay couples targeted the Christians in search of law suit money.

She willingly let four heroic American men die at Benghazi and lied about it.
Plenty of evidence brought forth from the teams investigating the Benghazi attack  prove Hillary's despicable betrayal and dishonesty before, during, and after the attack.  She knew security was inadequate and refused to increase security measures after repeated requests from the ambassador at Benghazi.  She knew a terror attack was highly likely, yet she continued to do nothing as if wanting the men to die.  Troops were close enough and eager to come rescue our men at Benghazi but they were ordered to stay, allowing our heroes to perish at the brutal hands of our enemies along with evidence that would incriminate her.  Investigations have proven without a doubt that she knew the attack was premeditated terror, yet she called it a retaliatory attack due to a YouTube video.  Susan Rice was instructed to continue spreading that lie to conceal the fact that the administration was running guns to terrorists.

She continues to lie and let men die to cover her own skin.  She has no allegiance to Americans, liberty, justice, or her own job assignment.  She has proven over and over that her only concern is amassing more power for herself. Our founding fathers risked everything for the sake of the country they loved.  Our early presidents served humbly, sacrificially, and out of love for country, not love for self. Hillary belongs at an AA meeting for her addiction to the drug of power which compels her to lie, steal, kill, and destroy for the next hit that will make her high on power.  Putting her in the presidency is like putting every American in a car with a drunk driver.  A wreck is inevitable; something will be destroyed; and people will surely die.
 
Hillary oppresses women and brings shame upon the female gender.
Hillary's primary selling point for her campaign is that she is female.  The women's suffrage movement was all about elevating the rights and value of women in society as being equal with men.  Those of equal value should be given equal opportunity, but when equal outcomes are guaranteed instead without actually earning that outcome or demonstrating the skills and knowledge required, then the one who cheated is cheapened.  Any position a woman holds simply because she is female without earning it the same way a man would is oppressive and degrading to women.

True feminism supports women as being valuable, concerned contributors to society, not merely as objects to ogle.  True feminism values a woman as a whole person with a heart, soul, mind, and body.  I find it highly insulting that Hillary would suggest that women vote for her simply because she has (or had) a uterus without considering her qualifications or her character.  A strong woman of dignity votes with the collective union of her heart, mind, and soul, evaluating candidates based on track record and integrity.  No thoughtful voter only looks at gender or believes whatever a politician who lies far more often than she tells the truth says during her campaign events.

As a woman, I want the first female POTUS to be someone who represents women with responsible leadership, wisdom, selflessness, honesty, and integrity. Let her be someone who loves America and seeks to protect and preserve both Americans and the core values that founded our nation. Hillary is the polar opposite of what a woman and a leader should be and brings great shame to our gender.

She has zero regard for national security or the rule of law, even when her job description ultimately requires that she protect both
Costly legal battles and criminal investigations have been a constant companion throughout her career, yet rarely, if ever, has the full measure of justice been meted against her.  With the recent Benghazi and email scandals, she received no punishment whatsoever, and those were possibly her worst scandals to date.  She should be rotting in jail for life, but her power is greater than that of the justice system.  Leaders lift up their constituents for the greater good.  Criminals destroy their fellow citizens for their own selfish gain.

The failure of the FBI to indict her after proving her guilty of perjury and of violating the espionage act resulting in grave consequences for our national security, while a sub sailor guilty of a much lesser crime without hindering national security was sentenced to 5-6 years in jail (which could have been 10-30 years), was the last straw for me.  My initial reaction was as follows:
The FBI described in great detail all the evidence proving that Hillary Clinton is GUILTY of violating the espionage act. Add that to the long list of felonies in her past which all went unpunished. Her crimes are far worse than those committed by military officers whose innocent mistakes, which did not compromise national security in any way, have them locked behind bars. Because of her crimes, innocent lives of some of our best officials have been lost (Benghazi is only one example), and now the identities of undercover agents around the world and of everyone close to them have been leaked to our enemies. Their lives and the lives of their family members are in great danger thanks to the Clinton machine. She has made herself an easy and prime target for blackmail! Try to imagine what damage can be done if she is elected POTUS while blackmailed ... totally under the manipulation of our enemies! 
The government's #1 job is to protect Americans, and she has spent her career compromising national security, sacrificing lives of American heroes, and throwing anyone who stands in her way under the bus for the sole purpose of protecting her own narcissistic lust for power. Throw in the secret conversation between the highly corrupt AG and Bill Clinton just before the FBI's pronouncement and you have the most obvious and ridiculous case of obstruction of justice imaginable. But Clinton will not be charged for any of the grievous crimes of her past, you see, because she is above the law, and no one else matters except to the extent she can use them for her own selfish gain.
The FBI says she did not intend any harm, and I'm sure she's promising not to do it again, but that's like Bill Clinton saying he never intended to become a womanizer, violating hundreds of women, and that the Monica thing was just one more honest mistake and that he'll never look at a woman lustfully again. When your most predominant characteristic is "scandalous liar", such an excuse is laughable. If even the most upright citizen, someone like Billy Graham, commits a felony accidentally (and we all know Hillary knew exactly what crimes she was committing - she was warned by staffers and was the Secretary of State for crying out loud), they go to jail. End of discussion. Yet the FBI accepted her lame excuse even though intent is not even a consideration in the law, nor did it keep others from paying harsh penalties for lesser crimes. 

If the FBI, AG, and SCOTUS will not stop her tyranny, then voters, it's up to you! I know Trump is a jerk, but at least he is willing to surround himself with wise counselors and is not above the law. Look how things went for the Egypt when Pharaoh followed Joseph's advice or for Babylon when Nebuchadnezzar listened to Daniel. We can count on Hillary surrounding herself only with these same corrupt, cowardly officials who are already squashing justice while under her thumb. 

If we have no accountability and no justice, then we have no law, no freedom, and no Constitutional republic. We are but pawns under the iron fist of a mad woman. Ask Germans what that was like before and during WW2.

It's time for the people of America to stand for truth and justice. Express your outrage with courage and conviction. And for the love and honor of every soldier who fought for your freedom, please do not vote for her. A different POTUS would choose a different AG (Cruz would be my pick) who would likely indict her bringing some semblance of law back to America. This is so much bigger than party allegiance. No matter which party holds office, we must have law and justice equally served to all citizens or we have nothing. Hillary must be held accountable.
So no one truly expected Hillary to be indicted for her felony. The Democratic machine would not have made sure she got the nomination if there was even a hint of fear she could go to jail. But knowing what will happen does not remove the outrage upon seeing it happen. However, when we consider  the in-your-face blatant fix put in place through the series of events (Bill meets privately with Lynch, Lynch is assured she can remain as AG if Clinton is elected, Obama hops on a plane to help Hillary campaign, suits are filed against the head of the DNC for rigging the primaries, etc.), it shows how unnecessary it is to bother hiding the corruption.  The voters expect it and seem not to mind at all anymore.  To continue supporting Hillary now is a betrayal of justice.

As Comey detailed each of her crimes, clearly and seemingly deliberately pointing out each of her lies to the public throughout the investigation, yet refusing to indict....it reminded me of those cases where those held hostage sent cryptic or blatant SOS messages via on-line pizza orders begging for help. He obviously wanted the whole world to know that she is guilty, presumably to preserve the integrity of the FBI to carry out the investigation thoroughly (costing taxpayers millions) but to what end? Maybe detailing her guilt was also his way of assuaging his guilt when he did not indict. But could it also be an SOS - as he felt trapped, held hostage by whatever powers constrain him - with the hope that someone with more courage and power would indeed indict her - such as the next AG when Hillary loses? It's all speculation, but I can't get the image of a hostage sending out a secret 911 message out of my mind when I hear his testimony. There has to be more to it than just another fix to protect Hillary. I think it's a cry to every American voter to stop her and her socialistic regime. We are the only EMTs left.

The double standard is appalling. Nixon, Petraeus, Snowden, and Martha Stewart all paid for their much lesser crimes while Hillary, whose crimes far exceed all of theirs combined, goes free.


Early last June, I shared a news story about a major OPM security breach. OPM maintains extremely confidential, highly detailed personal information for all who obtain federal security clearance. The records for over 21.5 million people were stolen during a cyber hack in early 2014, yet OPM did not discover the hack until April 2015. The announcement of the breach in June 2015 was not carried by most mainstream media, likely because the news story casts Obama in a negative light. Obama had appointed the head of OPM at fault who had ignored earlier warnings regarding the compromised security of OPM systems primarily because she was a minority female and would be the first Latina Director of OPM.  He continued to defend her even as both Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives forced her to resign. 


Those records provide everything needed to commit identity fraud or to hunt down and take hostages. At risk are not just federal agents whose info was stolen but also their family members, children, and significant others. The damage that can be done with that information is beyond measure.
The story received so little media coverage that few heard about it and even fewer actually believed it. But you better believe it happened because over 21.5 million people have received letters from OPM just like this one we received.

We just saw how inept Hillary Clinton is at handling classified information and our national security, and since she was not punished we can expect her to continue compromising our security and our privacy for the sake of her own convenience for as long as she has the power to do to so.  Voters must stop this inept, corrupt madness in the White House for the sake of national security, personal freedom, and each person's own identity!

Hillary's entire career is consumed with traitorous acts, gross abuses of power, fraud, and ongoing criminal activity.

This video has been updated to include her tenure as Secretary of State and cut from the previous version which was over an hour, so this 20 minutes only covers a small portion of her career of corruption. For those who do not remember her past or were too young to be aware, please watch this video for all the evidence needed to understand that her election would be a treacherous act of treason.  Should she win the election, there is every reason to believe it was through outright fraud using the resources gained by a lifetime of criminal activity and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Fools believe a liar's lips when the truth is obvious through the con artist's actions.
