The Root of our Failing Society

Far too many parents, grandparents and great grandparents fail to hold the younger generation accountable. Some are worried about maintaining a “good” family relationship. Some use the excuse of looking out for the grand or great grand children. These are all signs of weakness and excuses to hide it.

When family relationships are the most important thing they fail to be good. You enable bad behavior, at best and evil into the relationship. Discipline and accountability can be hard but they encourage growth. Enabling prevents growth because it prevents someone from suffering the consequences of their actions.

If you are raising or otherwise caring for your grand children because their parents won’t you probably need to look in the mirror for the root cause. Maybe you have and that is the real reason you are an enabler. Don’t let guilt of past failures prevent you from stepping up now. To do so just keeps dooming generation after generation. You can provide for your vulnerable grand and great grand children with out enabling the bad behavior’s of their parents. You can make sure the kids have what they NEED without bailing out the parent.

That is true Love.

Didn’t have to end this way

Last week 1819 News posted an article outing the Smith Station Alabama Mayor and Lead Pastor in a Baptist Church for his online transgender profile. The profile contained sexually explicit content.

In the interview he said that it was just a private personal hobby to relieve stress and it didn’t interfere with his job as Mayor or Pastor. This is not true. First, anything posted on the internet is not private. Second, there is a credibility issue from both a Christian and Political perspective. You can not stand and preach the Bible with any credibility if you are living a lifestyle that is contradictory to the teachings. Do as I say not as I do carries no water with people. As a politician, your values just came into question.

When this all came out he should have resigned from the church and as Mayor. Let the citizens of Smith Station, with the new information, decide if they still wanted him as their Mayor.

Sadly this didn’t happen. I can only imagine what his life may have been like after being exposed in todays social media life. I imagine the hate that filled his social media pages was unbearable. The disappointment and betrayal felt by some and disgust felt by others probably overwhelmed their compassion for a fellow man. I could be wrong on these assumptions but anyone who spends even a little bit of time on social media knows I’m probably right.

There is no sin that will not be forgiven by God, if asked. As a pastor he should have known this but his alter life makes me wonder if he believed it. I wish he would have stepped down and turned to his family to work through this. Tragically he chose to end his life.

Pray for his family and friends as they struggle with first the exposure and then the loss.

More Information has come out. Here and here. Keep praying for all involved.

Hamas is a Terrorist Organization

Is there any doubt? When you target civilians rather than military and government people and institutions. You are a terrorist. When you hide among civilians including tunnels under hospitals and refugee camps, you are a terrorist. Hamas looks for mass civilian casualties for both terror effect and news headlines. Terrorist organizations need to be eradicated.

I have sympathy for those who do not support the terrorist and just want to live their lives but are caught in the middle. I have no sympathy for those who support, protect and enable the terrorists.

New House Speaker and Maine Shooter

Well we have a new Speaker of the House. Sadly, based on his voting record, he is very similar to the old Speaker but it could have been worse. Time will tell if he is just another establishment system first hack or if he will move the party towards a more Constitutional footing.

Well another mentally ill person has shot and killed a bunch of people in Maine. First lets pray for the individuals and their families who have been killed or injured. Now it’s just a matter of time before we start hearing politicians wanting to take our guns again. It is reported that this individual is an ex-military firearms instructor who is mentally ill and was recently institutionalized. This is not a gun issue. It is a mental illness issue and a law enforcement issue. There is no way this individual could have legally acquired a firearm.

Leadership

I got a call yesterday from an old friend from my Air Force days in Alaska. During the call the discussion briefly turned to leadership or the lack of leadership in many if not most civilian organizations. I am a member of several organizations and the only one that doesn’t suffer from a lack of leadership on some level, as far as I can tell, is the American Legion.

Leadership can be summed up in three words. Service before self. If you volunteered for or were elected to a leadership position you are obligated to be the example to others. If the organization has a function you should be there unless work or illness prevent it. Everyone needs or think they need a vacation. Just don’t schedule it over the organizations activities. You’re the face of the organization. You also don’t allow self interest to alter the direction of the organization. The organizations wellbeing comes before your likes and wants.

Organizations struggle to keep active members. Part of the reason is that the “leadership” is not leading. If they skip the organizations activities the rank and file members see no reason to show up either. The members are not children and “do as I say not as I do” doesn’t work. If you show a lack of commitment the membership will too. It’s that simple.

The House Speaker Fight

What is currently playing out is a fight between the status quo and some trying to force Republicans to live up to their platform.

Republicans get elected by preaching small government and traditional family values. When they get to DC they fold like napkins and become institutionalized swamp creatures. In general they just go with the flow to keep their cushy tax payer funded gravy train.

We have an opportunity to make a huge step towards upholding the platform if not the Constitution with Jim Jordan. There are a few who just want to keep the status quo and a few who have gotten their feelings hurt by the way things have played out. Both need to step up and put the country ahead of their personal feelings and ambitions. Sadly that is not likely to happen unless their constituents make their phones ring.

I Support Israel

The Bible tells us of a time just like this. Is this the beginning of the end or just another act of evil? God only knows. I sure don’t.

What I do know is, what HAMAS has done is an atrocity. Not an act of war. The civilians killed were not collateral damage. They were the primary targets. Including the butchering of children and babies. This is very similar to the savage massacre of Jews in Bagdad in 1941 known as The FarHud.

Some have inaccurately compared this to our 9/11. It is much much worst. Just numbers alone. 9/11 would have had to have been about 25 times worse. Can you imagine if we lost 75,000 to a terrorist attack?

Israel should level and then reacquire the Gaza strip. Then allow or disallow access the same way they do the rest of the country.

Abortion

Since the 1960’s we have become a more and more narcissistic society. Everything is about “me” and my wants.

Well, when you create a life it is no longer about YOU. It’s not about your job, your beach body, your status, you getting in trouble with parents, your lifestyle, etc,…  It is about a BABY!

Abortion is Murder and murder is EVIL.

Anyone who has had an abortion after consensual sex for anything other than a Life Threatening Issue was both selfish and a murderer.

Anyone who has had an abortion after non-consensual sex for any reason other than a Life Threatening Issue was both selfish and just a week person.

Anyone who repeatedly uses abortion as birth control is a mass murderer no different than someone who shoots up a school. At lease the children can try to get away and hide. The babies have no defense from the forceps and vacuum coming at them, ripping them limb from limb.  

Anyone who supports abortion on demand and in turn wants gun control citing killed children is a Huge Hypocrite and EVIL. It is estimated more than 63 MILLION babies have been MURDERED since 1973 when Roe was created. The TOTAL number of Americans killed in ALL Wars from 1775 to today is 1,304,597. Let that sink in. Nearly 50 times as many Americans have died by abortion since 1973 than ALL of our wars combined.

Anyone who supports late term abortion and infanticide is EVIL and there is a special place in Hell for you.

Even with all of this the Constitution grants the individual States the authority over this issue. The Founders were collective geniuses in the Creation of the US Constitution and then the Bill of Rights. Specifically the 9th and 10th Amendments that further strengthen the limits on the Federal Government. Sadly they have been ignored by activist judges for several generations. Thankfully there may be a shift back to the Rule of Law but it won’t be without protest from the selfish and Ignorant.

Lost Lives and The Year That Wasn’t

2020 was a Presidential election year. I could stop right there.

That alone makes an entire year go off the rails but this election year was different. We, the American people thumbed our collective noses at the power grabbing Globalist Elitists back in 2016 and they lost their collective minds. The Coup was in full swing from the start. The previous administration spying on the new administration even before they took over and it didn’t stop after. Members of the administration were targeted with false allegations including the new President himself. Wasted years and millions of dollars just to create a narrative that the accusers and anyone paying attention knew were false. One by one the accusations were proven false and new ones created. The President was even Impeached by the House and acquitted by the Senate for a crime he didn’t commit but the previous VP did and admitted on video of doing.

January 2020 the economy was booming all was well in America, for the most part, but there was something brewing behind the scenes. The Coup was still working full speed ahead. This President could NOT be allowed to win reelection and as usual for this group “The End Justifies The Means.” The final piece fell into place when the Chinese either accidentally or deliberately released the Covid-19 virus onto the world.

The machine kicked into high gear. It didn’t matter what the President did the narrative was that it was wrong. He shut down travel while others were saying all is well don’t worry. Later on they would say he didn’t act soon enough. He asked that we go home for two weeks to “Flatten the Curve”, but the elites saw an opportunity and seized upon it. They pushed a “Sky is Falling” narrative and the fear grew and two weeks turned into a marathon. This effectively killed a booming economy. Businesses closed. Some to never open again. People lost their jobs and livelihoods. Depression, domestic violence and suicide rates went through the roof. All in support of a narrative designed to remove a popular President. They also pushed mass mail in voting. Can’t have a bunch of sick people standing in line to vote. It didn’t matter that many of the states were holding primaries with in person voting with no spike in new cases. Have to have no questions asked mail in voting. Something that both parties have always said was a disaster looking for a place to happen. To easy to introduce fraud into the system and very hard to prove. Just what the doctor ordered. The President CAN NOT WIN!

Any possible treatment was ridiculed as a hokes and anyone, medical professional or other wise were silenced and in some cases fired from their jobs for even bringing it up. Now that the election is over it has been admitted that these treatments had merit. The President worked with pharmaceutical companies to “fast track” a vaccine. The narrative was it couldn’t be done. As the election got closer The President said we have it, any day now. Two weeks after the election the drug companies announced that the vaccine was ready. What a coincidence.

Mail in ballots went out all across the country but especially in a select few swing states. The ballot stuffing was in full swing. Signature verification was either non-existent or nearly so. In a normal year the mail in ballot rejection rate was about 2%. This year with exponentially more mail in ballots the rejection rate was about .06%. Just one example of the problem was Wayne County MI. 70% of the voting precincts were out of balance, meaning the votes cast were higher than registered voters. In some cases there were more votes cast than people living in the precinct. When members of the canvasing board refused to certify the results they and their families were threatened. This was the standard operating procedure after the election. Anyone questioning a result was chastised, threatened with harm and or job loss. Several lawyers who were helping the President with legal challenges received this treatment as well and some caved, withdrawing from the cases. This is not how Americans do things. This is what happens in other places like Russia, Iran, Venezuela, ect,…

Independence or Dependence

In order for you to allow someone else to be responsible for you, you first have to give up the ability to be responsible for yourself. Let that marinate for a minute.

From the time we are 12 or 13 we can’t wait to be 18 so we can do it our way. Be responsible for ourselves. Take control of our lives. Yet some of you chose to relinquish your rights to make your own decisions for your life based on your personal goals and aspirations to a Government who unlike your parents only cares about your vote and your tax dollars. You are willing to give up your rights and worst of all the rights of others and future generations for the appearance of safety and security.

With each passing generation we have watched the Federal Government grow and grow to the point that it dictates nearly every aspect of our lives. It tells you what you can eat. Who you bust do business with. What you can do with your own property. If you can go to work or open your business. The list is endless. The current push is to make that complete. You do as the establishment wants or, your insurance will be cancelled, your business license will be revoked, your power will be cut off, your ability to communicate will be terminated, your ability to carry out business financial transactions will be terminated. All of these have happened and will continue to get worse as long as we allow it.

History has shown us that once you give a power to the Government, any Government, they don’t give it back without a fight.

I resent with every fiber of my being having to say “Mother May I” to some Government Bureaucrat.
