Contradictions #2

A year ago I wrote piece number 2 in a series titled Contradictions. Like most of the posts I wrote a year or two ago, not much has changed since I wrote them. America is in the midst of March Madness while the world around us is embroiled in total madness.
We focus on basketball and all across America young women are preparing to have their unborn children killed tomorrow. Iran is on a spending spree with the $150 billion we just released to them for entering into an agreement no one believes they will honor.
Tomorrow while we toil away at our jobs, 3,000 unborn children will become medical waste at America’s abortion mills. Most of us will go on with our lives, oblivious to the slaughter. When I close my eyes tonight I will see and hear the suffering that will continue on Monday, and I’ll be reminded that my nightmares won’t end until the practice of abortion does.

This week a Wisconsin judge struck down a law requiring doctors working in abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.  His justification was that the benefit of insuring continuity of care for women injured during an abortion was outweighed by the “burden” that would be imposed upon them when trying to find a “qualified” facility at which to have their unborn child killed.  As a country, have we devolved to the point that preventing any inconvenience to a woman seeking to have her child killed is enforceable by law?  An individuals’ right to life, our most sacred founding principle, is being challenged, and won by bottom feeders like Planned Parenthood.

While the abortion industry was winning another battle in their fight to be able to kill more babies, our President was continuing his administration’s negotiations with Iran; negotiations that the whole world knows will lead to Iran developing nuclear…

Degrees of Outrage #13

Honor and integrity are very important to me.  I see living a principled life as the best way to be a positive influence on your family and peers.  I also see an American society teeming with uninformed morons, clamoring to be offended by the slightest perceived provocation.  Friday night in Chicago, a group of self-proclaimed speech censors took it upon themselves to deny thousands of Trump supporters the opportunity to hear Mr. Trump speak.  These idiots hide behind the Constitution when it serves their purpose, but deny the same Constitutional right to free speech they claim to be expressing, to anyone they feel should be silenced.

Mr. Trump’s opponents are now claiming that he is responsible for the MoveOn.org thugs who incited violence and caused his speech to be cancelled.  That’s not how free speech works.  Whether you agree with Donald Trump or not, he has the right to peaceful assembly and free speech.  If you don’t like his message, don’t listen.  I don’t support Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, but I support their right to free speech.

MoveON.org has claimed responsibility for organizing the hostilities Friday night.  Just a reminder, MoveOn.org was founded on behalf the Clintons during the late 90’s in an attempt to have the media and the public move on from Bill’s sordid sexual exploits and Hillary’s mulitple ethical challenges.  MoveOn’s modus operandi is to organize low information individuals, most of whom have no idea what they are protesting against, into unruly mobs.

The liberal wackos disrupting Trump’s speeches and inciting violence have taken it upon themselves to decide who gets to speak and who doesn’t.  They’re all for the 1st Amendment until they don’t agree with what you have to say.  Honor and integrity mean nothing to them.  It’s all about them, and nothing else.  These same idiots and organizations think that Roe v Wade created the right for a woman to choose to have her unborn child killed.  They don’t understand that rights can only be granted by God.  When despicable organizations like MoveOn.org try to shut someone like Donald Trump down, all they do is guarantee that he will dominate the news cycle.   When they promote organizations like Planned Parenthood and fight for what they call abortion rights, they bask in the blinding light of utter stupidity.

Liberals claim to have all the answers and demand that anyone who doesn’t agree with them be silenced.  They field a corrupt felon and a washed up socialist as their Presidential candidates and are willing to blindly follow them to oblivion if they are elected.  Liberal wackos have the right to express their opinions, however misguided they may be; and I have the right to ignore them and to work for everything they are against.  They support an abortion industry that kills over 3,000 innocent children every day in America and I will continue to fight for every life they don’t think matters.

When liberals win, bad things happen.  When liberals get offended, more often than not, I get amused.  If this expression of my right to free speech offends anyone; so be it.

Letter to John Kerry #2

Most of my work on this blog is focused on ending the practice of abortion. Occasionally, I veer off course to call out inept politicians, especially when they perform particularly egregious acts of stupidity. The following letter, written a year ago today, was one of those occasions. When I wrote this letter, John Kerry was in the middle of negotiations with the terrorist State of Iran on the now infamous Iran nuclear deal.
The whole world knows that Iran was cheating during negotiations and continues to cheat after the Obama administration gave them everything they wanted. Just today, Iran test launched two ballistic missiles. Inscribed on the side of both missiles was “Israel should be wiped from the pages of history.” In a couple days they’ll undoubtedly receive a strongly worded letter from the U.N. Good job Mr. Secretary!

 Mr. Secretary:

Let’s begin by assessing your skills as a negotiator.  To date, the only successful negotiations you have ever been a party to consist of you talking 2 rich women into marrying you.  An admittedly impressive feat, but I would postulate that this skill-set does not necessarily translate into you being able to save the world from a nuclear holocaust.  The word on the streets is that the Iranians are handing you your ass on a daily basis as you negotiate a timetable for them to obtain nuclear weapons.  Yes, I said a timetable for them to obtain nuclear weapons.  You and the Obama administration are so desperate to cut any kind of deal with Iran; there is no longer any doubt that they will be able to develop…

The Problem With Abortion

The following piece that I wrote a year ago brings to mind the choice that America has in November. If we elect Bernie Sanders or Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife, we continue the string of pro-abortion, pro-Planned Parenthood Presidents that we’ve had under B.O. America’s children deserve better than being conceived in a country where the likelihood that they will be intentionally killed before they are born is a little better than 1 in 3.
Both choices on the Democrat side promise freebies to everyone and punishment to anyone with the audacity to be more successful than the government thinks they should be allowed to be. They promise to support Planned Parenthood and to make abortion more accessible, and to pay for it with our tax dollars.
Bernie will never be President, and based solely on her position on abortion, I’m voting for ABC (Anybody But Hillary).

Contrary to popular opinion, the problem with abortion isn’t that it’s legal; the problem is that otherwise rational people don’t have a problem with it.  Abortion is the end result of a systemic erosion of basic values in our society and a conditioned response to a no consequences mindset.  We got to this point by entertaining ourselves with senseless acts of violence, and in the process became desensitized to senseless acts of violence; like abortion. We’ve abandoned the concept of personal responsibility and bought into a herd mentality that we’ve been tricked into thinking will absolve us of the consequences of our individual actions.

In January of 1973, five out of nine old white guys in black robes declared that Roe v Wade was the law of the land. Over the last 42 years nearly 60 million unborn children have been legally killed under cover of law.  The law isn’t…

Elections Have Consequences

When the cattle call for President began, I really liked Carly Fiorina, but she didn’t catch on and eventually dropped out.  Since Carly dropped out, I’ve been bouncing between Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.  Any of the 5 men still standing on the Republican side would be a much better President than the socialist, pro-abortion, Bernie Sanders or the lying, pro-abortion, criminal, Hillary Clinton.  Trump, Cruz, and Rubio claim to be pro-life, and I take them at their word.  Trump claims that he has evolved from being pro-choice to pro-life, and once again, I accept that he is sincere when he says this.  The problems I have with Trump are many and varied.  His condescending and derisive attitude towards his opponents is off putting.  He speaks in generalities and has yet to be specific on how he intends to”Make America Great Again.”  He praises Planned Parenthood and states that they do great things for millions of women.  At Thursday night’s debate he made the statement that abortion only represents 3% of the services provided by Planned Parenthood.  This tells me that he has bought into Planned Parenthood’s convoluted bookkeeping logic that classifies an abortion as 1 service, and a visit where you walk in and receive 5 packages of condoms and 5 brochures as 10 services provided.

The hysteria surrounding Trump reminds me of the same blind faith that was given to a man named Barack Obama.  On nothing more than one good speech and a slick PR campaign, he was elected President.  We have to get it right this time or the America our founders envisioned will be lost.  Under two terms of an “American Idol President” our national debt has doubled, our stature in the world has diminished, and those who would wish to do us harm have been emboldened by a President who projects weakness.  While I’m not saying Trump would be another Obama, the parallels between their campaigns are unmistakable.  They both commandeered the news cycle. They’re both proficient in saying just enough to convince their supporters that they have all the answers, and they both heap scorn on anyone who dares to disagree with them.  If nothing else, Donald Trump deserves credit for shaking things up.  His lack of political correctness is refreshing, and has changed the course of this campaign, and campaigns in the future. If Trump is the last man standing on the Republican side, I’ll hold my nose and he’ll get my vote, but he’s not getting my endorsement.

The Washington establishment is broken and dysfunctional.  The good ole boy network on both sides of the aisle doesn’t want a President who makes waves.  They want to keep things the way they are and to keep doing things the way they’ve always been done.  Doing things the way they’ve always been done has given us an America that is broke, overregulated, and over taxed; and a citizenry that fears its government. Our founders never intended it to be this way.  The people shouldn’t fear the government.  The government should fear the people.  The ideal President should be someone the establishment fears.  He or she should be a principled individual, willing to do the people’s bidding, and committed to preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution.  Our President must be unbeholden to special interests and merciless when it comes to trimming the fat from a morbidly obese bureaucracy that is collapsing under the weight of its collective incompetence.  He or she must be committed to protecting the right to life from the moment of conception and unapologetic for looking to God for strength.

No one on the Democrat side of the ticket even remotely meets these criteria.  Four of the five men still standing on the Republican side do.  All these criteria are my litmus test for the candidate I support for President of the greatest country on earth.  These men and women are applying for George Washington’s job.  When we make our choice for the 45th person in history to hold this job, we can’t view it as a popularity contest and we can’t sit home and not vote if our candidate doesn’t end up being the nominee.  This election will determine what kind of future our children and grandchildren will have.  American exceptionalism is alive and well but it’s buried under an oppressive government and incompetent leadership.  The one man who can right the good ship America and get her back on course is Ted Cruz.  I support everything he stands for and offer my humble blog’s endorsement of his candidacy.

 

Courage

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that killing innocent children for money is wrong. You don’t have to be a bioethicist to know that taking the life of an innocent human being is wrong. Most of us know the difference between right and wrong but many of us lack the courage of conviction to defend those who are not able to defend themselves. Many of us wish we had the courage to stand up for innocent babies but most of us will leave that task to others.
You don’t have to be a super-hero to be courageous, you simply have to know what you are willing to risk everything for. I’ve reached the point in my life where I no longer care about money and possessions or being one of the cool kids. I know that speaking out in defense of life is the right thing to do and I’m willing to accept the consequences of my actions. That’s why I wrote the following piece on Courage last May.

Pro Life Pop Pop

Cour-age: the quality of being fearless or brave; valor; pluck.  I believe that the courage of one’s convictions is the true test of character.  How many who will read this have the courage to defend an innocent life, whatever the cost?  Too many of us choose to dwell in the past or rely on the future; ignoring the clear and present opportunity to save lives and to change the world.  With all due respect to Webster’s New World Dictionary, I disagree with their definition of courage. Courage, in my view, is doing what you know is right and of benefit to others in spite of your fear of failure, ridicule, or risk to your wellbeing.  It is taking a leap of faith and knowing that the cause you are willing to risk everything for is worth it.  It’s wanting nothing for your efforts other than the outcome you seek.

Contradictions

Over the last 3 years I’ve written and published so many pieces, when I go back and read some of them I don’t remember writing them. The following piece, written a year ago today, is one of them. Even though I may not remember writing a particular piece, I’ll never forget what I’m writing about. Most of my work on this site is focused on two things; closing the doors of Planned Parenthood and ending the practice of abortion.
As I wrote in this piece, the world is full of contradictions and obvious truths. I live in a country founded on divinely endowed rights, such as the right to life. Contrary to our founding principles, we allow over a million tiny human beings to be killed in America every year, just as their lives are beginning. The obvious truth is that that we can’t violate these basic principles without shattering ourselves against them.
If my life is to be judged by what I did or did not do for those who were defenseless to help themselves, I’ll accept my fate.

Pro Life Pop Pop

Planned Parenthood and its ilk promote what they call “safe abortions.”  They rely on our ignorance and gullibility when they try to convince us that a procedure specifically designed to kill a human being is safe.   They know that practicing truth in advertising would be a much tougher sell if they called the service they provide “brutally murdering your unborn child for money”.  The abortion industry is very good at what they do.  They should be.  They’ve had nearly 60 million opportunities to practice.

The abortion industry survives on contradictions, deception, and lies.  They accuse the pro-life side of waging a war on women because we don’t believe a woman has the right to choose to have her child killed.  They say we’re waging a war on women when over half the babies they kill are little girls.  Planned Parenthood’s motto is “Care, No Matter What”, when all they…

Character

As Justice Scalia is laid to rest today, for the first time in history, a sitting President will not be attending the funeral of a sitting Supreme Court Justice.  This is just another peek behind the curtain of a man devoid of character and integrity.  While my focus in this forum is ending abortion, I refuse to shy away from its enablers and leaders like President Obama who represent the worst when it comes to helping our fellow man and simply doing what is right.  Before the body was cold, the President was injecting politics into a national tragedy; just like he always does.  Antonin Scalia was a staunch defender of our Constitution and deserves better than the President sending crazy Uncle Joe to represent him at the funeral.

One has to wonder why a President who is able to make time to visit Cuba next month to pay his respects to a radical Communist regime, can’t seem to find the time, on a day when he has no events on his schedule, to pay his respects to a true patriot like Justice Scalia.  Character, honesty, and integrity mean you do the right thing, whether the whole world is watching or whether you are the only one who knows you are doing it.  President Obama has an extensive record of doing the wrong things as the world watches.  One can only imagine what he is capable of doing off the record.

During next month’s trip to Cuba the President will be glad handing with the leaders of a regime who murdered every property owner in the country when they seized power.  During the 2 days he is there, over 6,000 unborn children will be killed in America by Planned Parenthood and their partners in crime.  President Obama is Planned Parenthood’s most enthusiastic cheerleader.  The man who swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, claims that a woman has a “core Constitutional right” to have her unborn child killed.  The printer seems to have left that passage out of my copy.

Like many things in life, character isn’t something you can touch or put your hands around, but you know it when you see it.   You know it when you see the people you should be able to trust the most saying and doing things that a reasonable, principled person would not.  President Obama and his friends in the abortion industry continue to say that abortion on demand should be the norm.  They would have you believe that killing your child as a matter of convenience is no big deal.  They’ll tell you that people like me are crazed ideologues because we believe every human life is priceless.

Character is strengthened or abandoned in the face of adversity.  We can choose to stand on principle when the going gets tough, or we can choose to go along to get along; denying the fact that tough choices are inevitable.  President Obama has assumed the default position of those without character.  He’s content with a legacy of ineptitude and incompetence; content to leave the mess he has created, to future generations to fix.

Letter to President Obama #102

When I wrote letter #102 to President Obama almost a year ago, I had already begun the countdown; 2 years until the worst President in our country’s history is shown the door. If we ever needed principled leadership, it’s now. Today, 7 years after he took office, everything he has done has diminished the greatness of the country I love. As I’ve written many times, everything he has done can be undone once he is gone; everything but the deaths of over 8 million unborn children who will have been aborted on his watch.
As I’ve also written many times, the true test of a leader is how he treats those who are powerless to oppose him. The most abortion-friendly President we have ever had, has done nothing as millions of unborn children were being slaughtered by an abortion industry that he openly endorses.
January 20, 2017 can’t come soon enough. Until then, I’ll continue to send him letters and I’m pretty sure he will continue to ignore me.
The following letter, written on February 22, 2015, like all my letters to the President, most likely suffered an untimely death at the hands of the White House shredder.

 Mr. President:

Radical Islamists are threatening to launch attacks on America’s shopping malls and, as you’ve done throughout your political career, you’re voting present. You abandoned the most vulnerable among us, our unborn children, years ago, and now you’re content to just play golf and attend fundraisers as the world implodes around us. You ignore our allies’ requests for military assistance in the war against ISIS, yet you have time to meet with clowns like Al Sharpton and seek his advice on race relations.

Mr. President, the over half a billion dollars you will send to Planned Parenthood this year would go a long way towards wiping out terrorism.  Apparently, you would rather see it spent wiping out the lives of over 1 million unborn American children.  Sir, if you spent a fraction…

Through the Eyes of a Child

The day before my oldest grandson and best buddy turns 5, I’m thinking about a piece I wrote last May. Him, along with his little brother, are my main inspiration to work on behalf of the pro-life movement. Watching a hungry child eat, or a happy child at play are two of the most beautiful things in life. Observing them noodling out a problem through the perspective of total innocence is a lesson on how to live.
While we twist ourselves into knots over problems that really aren’t problems, they’re happy playing with the box their latest toy came in.
Children know how to prioritize: sleep, eat, play, repeat.
Watch a child. View your next so called problem through the eyes of a child and learn again to approach every day with a sense of awe.

I marveled on Mother’s Day at the look of sheer joy on my grandson’s face as he romped barefoot through the lawn sprinkler in my backyard.  He wasn’t thinking of the thousands of innocent children who would die in America’s abortion mills just a day later.  He was living in the moment, and feeling the joy of being alive; knowing that he was safe with me.  I shared his joy, but knew that by the next Mother’s Day we spend together, over 1 million unborn children will have been intentionally killed in the country I love.

We can learn a lot from our children and grandchildren.  I watch my grandsons as they experience, for the first time, all the things that most of us take for granted.  They haven’t been taught how to hate anyone or to be biased against anyone who looks different or speaks in a different language…
