We Have No One to Blame but Ourselves and By The Way, This is a Republic!

What is the law for?  In general, the law is to protect the general citizen from those of no or limited moral values.  "They" say that you can not legislate morality.  I say that is a short-sighted self-serving view of what the law can and does do.  It really does legislate from a moral point of view.  While we may now live in an amoral society, the founders had a different idea. 

Primarily law is based upon some sort of religious foundation.  The laws in most of the Western civilization are based on the Judeo-Christian beliefs.  The Ten Commandments comprise the majority of our laws here in the United States.  Although the government has dispensed with the first 4 which refer to the worship and adoration of The Lord God Almighty, the others are intricately woven throughout the very fabric of our country. 

As we wander from the basic tenets of our roots, we find the social structure disintegrating and becoming infinitely more complicated.  Gray areas tend to muddy the waters rather than clarify. The politically correct climate creates an atmosphere of anxiety and distrust and promotes disharmony between groups of people.  Opinions can no longer be spoken openly because they fear reprisals from another group.

The ACLU has grown exponentially more powerful because of this climate of fear.  They prey on the populace's inability to be offended.  The circle of fear grows like a cancer subverting the foundation laid July 4, 1776.

They label the Constitution of the United States a "living" document.  (Pardon me while I giggle.  Have you ever seen a piece of paper breathe and when you cut it, does it bleed?")  The Constitution as it was written is a solid document.  It, like the Bible, does not change to suit whims and whimsies, which is probably what gets the left all knotted up. 

Unlike the Bible, it can be amended.  Presidents have found ways around the Constitution with the use of Executive Orders, the placement of judicial activists in the Supreme Court and other lesser courts throughout the country.  Our Constitution can also circumvented by making treaties and agreements with foreign powers, such as the UN, Interpol and the EU to allow them access as a police force within the United States borders.  Portions of our country may have been designated as World Sanctuaries under the guise of our National Parks and other areas. 

Are you paying attention?  Have you actually gotten off your butt, turned off the games and the TV and looked into what is going on?  You can find out a bit by going to the White House website and check out the Executive Orders if they still allow access to them when you read this.  You can find the list in the Briefing Room under Presidential Actions. 

Barak Obama has issued 67 Executive Orders since he has been in office.  I noticed that 2 are in Spanish.  Executive Orders are not necessarily made public, but they are available for the public to read after they are in effect.  He had made more than 200 Presidential Proclamations.  Judge for yourself what he is doing to circumvent the system and what type of agenda he believes in. 

This country, the United States of America, was never supposed to be a democracy.  Democracy, basically, is mob rule.  That means that whatever the majority of the mob wants it gets.  A Republic is different as during the process, statesmen (not politicians) are voted into office.  They have the best interests of the country at heart and while they listen to the voters, they vote their conscience.

The disconnect has come about due to the fact that the people (who have no idea what a republic is and do not care) refuse to vote in men and women of conscience and, instead, vote in those that can give them the most in return for getting their vote.  The decline of the country started when the people found out they could vote themselves "stuff".  The special interests have been piling higher and higher and that "War on Poverty" which we never won (the Lord said that the poor would be with us always) has become the "War on the Middle Class."   The really, truly wealthy remain wealthy (and always will) as the middle class becomes lost as the poverty level goes up and the Government taxes us into oblivion so they can give us 10% or less back to keep us voting for more stuff that the Government deems important to our health and well-being.

After all is said and done, we have no one to blame for the shape our country is in but ourselves.  The more we vote for our special little projects that benefit our little group, the bigger the deficit grows and the more power we give the Government to run our lives and the less power our country has to actually govern and protect the population.

Historical or Hysterical?

It was difficult.  High school was not quite a total misery, but it did come in second only after home life.  There is a phrase for you.  Two simple words - home and life.  It assumes that you live in a home and not a house and it assumes that life is something pleasurable.  A pleasurable time at home was not exactly what any sane person would use to refer to my formative years.

Life began for me technically on my birth day.  I chose to remember the part that started when I was six.  I left my father's house to live with my mother.  There are anecdotal incidents that I remember with great clarity.

I remember being dressed up in a light blue dress with tiers of ruffles, a ribbon around my hair with a bow on top and my hair down to my waist.  I do not remember the occasion.

Another instance I remember playing outside at the apartments we lived in.  My playmate was a little older than me and we were out back playing.  She suddenly started picking her nose and she turned to me and said, "Watch me eat it."  I watched, repulsed and shocked, as she did just that.  I never played with her again.  I remember my father asking me why I did not play with that nice little girl and all I could say is, "I don't want to."

I remembered once when my mother came to visit me with her new husband that I was terrified of her and I hid and would not come out and talk to her.

I remember my father said that he married Lucy and we moved to a house to live with her.  She introduced me to neighborhood kids, laid out my clothes for me and taught me that if you are bigger than the other person, you can make them do things they do not want to do.  I was playing outside with some of the kids when an older boy hit me and threatened me.  Of course, I ran home and told Lucy and she told me that I needed to hit him back.  She explained that if I did not go back and hit him that she was going to whip me.  After carefully weighing my options, I ran out, popped him a good one and ran back home.  

But I found myself at the age of 6 on an airplane going to Washington, DC to live with my mother.  I threw up on the plane and mostly it was just misery.  I did not know what to think about this woman I was to call mommy.  She was a scary figment of my nightmares and suddenly there I was.

I remember inconsequential things before I was 6 but after my 6th birthday, life took many turns.

Abortion - The Aftermath

Do you think it should be legal to have an abortion?

Do you think it should be legal for a woman to choose abortion?

Do you think it should be legal to kill unborn children?

Each of these questions means the same thing.  They are phrased differently and evoke different emotions in each individual but it means the same thing.  You are asking if murder under special circumstances should be legal.  Murder should never be legal.  The rallying cry has been that you cannot legislate morality.  There are laws against stealing.  There are even laws against murder.  Those are both moral issues.

There is also the idea that it is keeping women safe.  How do you think abortion legalized or not keeps women safe?  Most modern abortion clinics are not even required to pass any state health department inspections.  In many high schools and grade schools a girl can ask for birth control or an abortion and no one HAS to tell her parents.  In many states a perverted step-father, uncle, neighbor or teacher can take an underage girl to get an abortion and no one bats an eye.  There are many things about the Abortion Industry that are appalling.  The fact that tax dollars have gone to planned parenthood to promote the killing of children is equally appalling.

Why is the United States of America in such dire financial straits?  Could it be that since 1972 we have killed 40 million children who might have grown to adulthood and produced another generation?  Has it occurred to anyone in politics that we have killed off our tax base?  Is there anyone in government who can sit down and work the numbers and realize that what is killing this nation is the fact that we allow, no we PROMOTE this genocide?

On a national scale, we are oblivious to the destruction.  We think we are immune to repercussions.  This country, in general, still thinks that if it feels good, do it.  The people of the 60's revolution are now governing.  And it appears that they smoked way too much pot back in the day or they are still hitting the weed.  After seeing all that has transpired in DC in the years since President Reagan, it is painfully obvious that we have left our spines in the nursery.  We have ceased rational thinking.  We have given ourselves over to being green when, in fact, we are mainly yellow with a big hint of RED.  Communism is not dead!  Neither is Socialism!

The nation is politically correct and morally and financially bankrupt.  And what are we worried about?  Our morals?  No.  We are concerned about our declining finances.  I propose that if we get our moral house in order that the financial side will follow.  Morally stable people work and take care of business.  They take care of their neighbors and they give to the poor.

This has been a bit of a rant but sometimes you have to rant.  Not only does it do a body good, sometimes is is essential.
