The Kitty Werthmann Story

George Santayana. "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

Something to think about.

This is an opinion of a friends/friend. I believe it is shared by MANY. It's long and for some reason I wasn't able to just share it from FB. Nor was I able to copy and paste it.


I'll be honest; this is not my written work - it is from a very dear friend of mine who is a soldier - she is from Texas and is very aware of what the rise of a dictatorship looks like; she protects her people from them. All the countries around her are trying to "rid the world" of her and her people, but she is strong, courageous, brave and kicks ass with an M16!! Whoever said women don't belong in combat, never met a woman in the IDF!! GO ISRAEL!!

I'VE SAID BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN ...

Do not make the mistake made by the tens of millions who, fatally,underestimated the resolve of Stalin, of Hitler, of Mussolini, of Pol Pot, of Chairman Mao.....do not underestimate the seething malignancy in Washington DC who wrap themselves in the American flag but behind their backs are daggers held in clenched fists.

No doubt you seek answers........go to the mirror and there, ironically, you will find not only the cause of, but also, the solution to, America's grief..........go to the military graveyards across America and listen to the voices of those who gave you your freedom, listen to their words......visit the old war memorials and battlefields and hear the anguished cries of those who poured sweat and spilled blood in the forging of a great nation.....read your history books, read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and hear the voices of those who bled rivers and sacrificed all they had to set you free........listen, truly listen, to the words of the national anthem and be moved........then, in the quiet of the evening, look into the faces of your loved ones and find the unspoken expectation of your strength and courage in not only their defense but in defense of the greatest republic in the history of Mankind.......and then look towards the heavens and feel the warmth of His smile as he steels your spine, strengthens your stride and thickens the blood that courses through your veins.......stand on the great plains of this nation, in sight of the majestic Rocky mountains, stand as the morning sun comes up and watch as the Stars and Stripes snaps and flutters in the early morning breeze........and in that......in all of that.......you will have your answer to the strangled cries of that which birthed and nourished you, the cries of your nation, on her knees, with the knives of the treasonous and treacherous at her throat........wrap your arms around her, protect her...........she needs you now more than ever.

But, I fear, you will not........and why.......because you are, save for a few honorable men and women, self serving cowards.....each and every one......and in spite of my words that goad and sting you....you will simply turn away from the injurious obscenity of the man who wants to enslave you .....and drown your sorrows in a sitcom and a beer....shaking your fists at the talking heads that gleefully bring you news of your demise........how utterly wretched......

Allow me a few more words.........

As this world develops and moves forward, the gains we have made with respect to technology and the intellectuality and humanity of Mankind have been nothing less than stunning and exponential........but for as much as we have gained we have also lost an equal amount in depth of character.....we have lost the power of original thought....we have lost the desire to remain the plotters of our own lives..........and we are much less for that......evidence how just how much less found in re-electing obama.

We have given over stewardship of our lives, nay stewardship of the two greatest nations in the history of Mankind, to the criminally socialist, the self absorbed, the sneeringly Liberal, to the sociopaths, self loathers and to those whose hatred of freedom and the entrepreneurial spirit are the very definition of their every waking moment.

We have placed our children, the very future and foundation of our democracy, in the hands of the mediocre, the perverse, the incompetent and the uninspired and allowed them to whisper the blackest of lies in their ears.....lies that pave the road to our nation's ruin as new generations wander our streets, functionally illiterate, historically crippled with a seething hatred of both self and the values, ethics and courage which provided our country and countless generations, light and stewardship through the darkest of times.....

We have allowed a socialist Mainstream Media to engage in a nonstop campaign of misinformation and propaganda that obscures the ominous threats we face both as a nation and a culture.......we have allowed the media to offer us fear mongering "experts" like David Suzuki and Al Gore, conniving grifters who are only to willing to tell us of the latest junk science, polls, trends and surveys, the methodology of which is never questioned, in order to, stroke by stroke, destroy our resource and energy independence.....we have allowed mainstream media to stoke a burning desire for the superficial and useless........that which gave us strength and independence, our manufacturing base, has been reduced to dust rendering us solely dependent on others for even the simplest of goods........we have allowed socialists to force us to remain dependent on the muslims, the very definition of murderously inhumane and brutal, for our energy needs whilst our very independence lays at our feet.

We have allowed a self serving bureaucracy and their enablers, the capricious, vain and self serving politicians, to destroy what we took over four centuries to build. We have allowed criminals to rule our streets and our prisons and we have allowed our courts and the legions of predatory and parasitic lawyers to enthusiastically facilitate the same. This, done in the name of progressive enlightenment, political correctness and multiculturalism.

We have lost the election, the free world hangs in the balance, we stand on the edge of the blackest abyss.........in order to step back from that abyss the time has come to clean from our schools, from our courts, from our media and from the halls of government those whose singular focus is the complete annihilation of Canada and the United States. The time has come to once again chart our own destiny....to decide what is good both for ourselves and families and for our country......the time has come to relegate the Obama's, Clinton's, Suzuki's, the Trudeau's, the Davies's to their rightful place.....the lunatic fringe.....where they can provide us with occasional comedic relief but from whence they can never again chart our course.

We need to seek out those amongst us whose very definition of life harkens back to a time of strength and independence, we need to seek them out...these slowly dying embers in a dwindling legion, and breathe into them the desire to wrest from the hands of charlatans and grifters, the heart and soul of our nations....we need to do this now.....for if we do not...if we wait till they have been crushed into dust by the Obama's, the Suzuki's and Trudeau's.....we will have missed our last chance....and when gone they will be greatly missed...and we.......as a world, as a culture and as a democracy, will be so much the less for their absence.

What we are experiencing now is what our forefathers experienced with Hitler.....we are now as we were in 1935 in Europe....but this time the fight is on our front door......it is on every continent.......storm clouds are gathering on the horizon and they are a mirror image of that which devoured millions......we have a choice and little time in which to decide.......we must chose between everything we hold dear, everything our forefathers placed in our safekeeping, we must chose between human rights, democracy, freedom, love of life and the rule of law or the vulgar filth that will consume us all.....each and every one......

Tonight, as you surround yourselves with friends and family.......I want you to go to the washroom and close the door behind you.......I want you to look into the mirror and into the eyes of the person in whose hands sits the fate of Western civilization......and then I want you to make a choice.....the right choice....if not for yourselves then make it for the countless generations to come, countless generations who depend on you to find your voices and to find your courage, countless generations who count on you to not let the light of civilization be put out by the smothering cloak of socialism and islam......The Religion of Peace......

To each and every one of you I say this: We were given a gift by our forefathers.........we have betrayed their trust.........we have broken a sacred bond.......and as sure as I draw breath into my body I know that at the breaking of the dawn 'or the fields of Flanders can be heard the stirring of angered restless souls......They are your fathers, brothers, grandfathers and the like, and never, in their wildest dreams, in their dying moments, as, with shattered bodies, as their tenacious grip on life loosened and failed, thought for a moment their gift to you of freedom, would be met with such obscene mockery, such ingratitude, such injurious and miserable treachery........I know that they turn away in disgust, sickened by the knowledge that honour can only be found amongst their brothers with whom they perished and not.......for whom they perished.

And so, in closing I leave you with a quote from "The Devils Advocate" and with a few questions that beg answers......

Where is your line in the sand?

What will you do once that line is crossed?

What does your country mean to you?

Will you pick up a weapon and stand a post in the face of tyranny?

Can you look your wives and children in the face knowing the depths of your cowardice and timidity?

Are words like honor, duty, country and remembrance just cinematic punch lines?

What will your answer be when you are asked to join the legions that form to remove treason and treachery from the White House?

Food for thought............

Just My Opinion

I am writing this in response to Rachel Maddow's victory speech given on election night 2012. You can read this with the same sarcastic monotone style that she gave hers. Like Ms. Maddow, I have an opinion. And today I still have the Freedom of Speech to be able to share it. This is just my opinion.

We will continue to have a Supreme Court that will uphold Roe verses wade, killing our children because it is our right to do so. Regardless of how this right will affect the mothers of these children both physically and emotionally for the rest of their lives, the blood shed will continue.

We also will be paying for other peoples right to do so regardless of how it affects us financially, emotionally and spiritually. It will be money taken from our families, and blood on our hands.

No where in the near future can we hope to have a Supreme Court Judge be appointed, that has any biblical morals or real constitutional knowledge.

We now own Obamacare, and you will find out much of it has nothing to do with healthcare. We may find that instead of treating Grama for kidney disease; it might be better to put her on a death pathway, like in England. http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/obama-adviser-admits-we-need-death-panels/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Care_Pathway_for_the_Dying_Patient (Skip on down to Controversy)

We will also probably find that our visits with our health professional (as in England) will be a much shorter time frame. Dental Cleanings and exams might get you five minutes in the chair. If a lump is discovered in your breast and you have a history with it in your family say with your mom and sister, you might just be told to go home and not worry about it. Think I'm joking? Ask someone who lives with England National Healthcare System. I have.

We will now have taxes raised much on the so called rich, and then we can fund the federal budget for 8 days. The fair share that is spoken of is not fair, but we will have to accept it. A certain same percentage taxed across the board for the lower, middle and upper class would make too much sense. We must have the over achievers be punished, and the slackers rewarded. It's the new American way.

If you are you are a Christian based business, suck it up, you will pay for abortions and abortion pills. You can check your faith at the door. Judeo -Christian values have no place in this new America. The ever misquoted Church and State, has taken on a new meaning, and it means our beliefs are no longer accepted.
We will not be eliminating the Dept. Of Energy or the Dept. Of Education, or any other oversized, overlapping Cabinets and depts. In fact, we will probably be berated with many more committees's and think tanks that will cost us more in hidden taxes and loss of freedoms.

We will be cutting off our military at their knees. Both here and oversees our troops will find that in return for the life that they have given up for the personal freedoms of our citizens in not what they signed up for. We will slowly chip away at health benefits, retirements, and the morals of our soldiers. When the enemy attacks us, on or off our soil, we will apologize. We will not support our consulates, or embassies when they are under attack, and when these incidents are outed to us, the American public, we will be fed lies, or be given the silent treatment. We will be expected to focus on whatever the media finds newsworthy such as sex scandals and ignore any real facts, while some of the highest in command in the military, resign in silence. We can never question the current President on anything, because we might appear racist.

We will continue to make sure that all students can go to college, regardless of their ability to pay back loans. We will offer debt to these kids and then blame Bush when they can't find jobs to pay back loans and live there lives. The very idea of saving up money and working your way through college is a thing of the past.

We will continue to allow illegal immigrants into the country. We may even roll out the red carpet allowing for them to be entitled to all social programs, food stamps, monthly checks, college education, and housing. And of course a drivers license. With a license, all things are possible. All the while ignoring our citizens sleeping under bridges, and in cardboard boxes. It's only money. We will not be self-deporting and will open our boarders to anyone, even if you are a terrorist because we probably did something offensive to you, and we should be sorry.

We will not let Detroit or any other state or business go bankrupt. We will bail you out and reward you financially for the sucky job you did in running your company. There will be no consequence, we the tax payers will gladly own a piece of your company, and we will expect nothing in return. Its part of our fair share.

We will continue to borrow money from certain countries to give to others. We will never expect any country that owes us money to pay us back, and we will find out the repercussions of not paying off our debts. Living with in our means, balancing a budget, cutting our expenses is not in the DC vision.
We will forget that our president once had many questionable mentors. Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, Edward Said, Derrick Bell, and Bill Ayers, until he came into office. We will forget that they hate West and Americans. Instead, we will focus any off the cuff statements made by any Republican, ever. And of course we will blame Bush.

We will not have a Secretary of State John Bolton. Instead, we may have Suzy Rice. We can not question her in any way because the President said so. After all Benghazi was not the first time she lied about something of any importance, but we should forget Kenya 1998.
http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/113012-635391-rice-involved-in-1998-embassy-bombings.htm
We will not have a foreign policy team that has any experience in foreign policies. We apologize for all our previous policies, will bend over and take whatever is coming. Sodomy is now legal in many states.
We will accept all changes in definitions for any terms that we once knew, as it will be easier to accept the changing interpretation of our constitution, by appointed Judges.

We will ignore voter fraud. We will ignore the precincts that had reported that our President got 100% of the vote, and his opponent got 0%. We will accept that to even be, possible. We will ignore, the thousands of dead people that showed up to vote. We will turn a blind eye at the bus loads of people that showed up to vote in the busses with out of state plates. We will forget about the voting machines that 'malfunctioned'. We are done discussing the fact that there were more votes for our president in many cities, then there were actual eligible voters. No more talk about the boxes and boxes of ballots from military personal that never made it to the ballot box. We have to, because back in 1982 the GOP signed an agreement that we couldn't question voter fraud.

Best Laid Plans, and Things That Annoy 6-10

I was hoping to continue the blog series on abortion today. I wanted to concentrate on how Planned Parenthood got started, specifically Margaret Sanger, and her part in it all. I have been having a tough time researching her. People either really love her, or they really hate her. I figured I would fall on the latter. As much as I tried, on the Internet I mostly have found opinions of her. Either she is this great libertarian, who helped the women's cause all through, her entire life. Or she is America's equivalent to Germany's Hitler. Nobody can even seem to agree on whether she was born in 1889 or 1893. I have read her quotes, some really absurd things by the way, but no real proof that she said it. Oh, and I guess I am one of the last to figure out, that Wiki- not very reliable. Things change and get "modified" all most daily. I went to the library to see if they had any books that she actually wrote, and they had none. I took out three that people wrote about her. So I have ordered three books, written by her, from amazon, and eBay. When I get them, if I quote from it, I will actually be able to give a reference and proof that she said it. I don't want to propagate rumors or lies. I am sure I will be giving my opinions, but I want them to based on something that actually happened, not a he said, she said thing.

So anyways, until then, I will continue with things that annoy.

Things That Annoy 6-10

6. Prescription drugs that are suppose to help people but cause harm. Side effects for drugs to help depression can cause thoughts of suicide. Meds for arthritis can cause heart attacks.

7. How the side effects listed are either written so small at the bottom of the screen no one can see, or are read by professional auctioneers.

8. Cats. Should have seen that coming.

9. When you refinance your home with a company you have researched and like, they sell your mortgage to a company, whom you'd never have chosen; before you have made your first payment.

10. That I am almost always driving by McDonald's at noon time because, I have no will power.

What are your pet peeves?

Abortion Thru The Ages, Then And Now.

　
I wish to preface this blog by saying that, if you are reading this and you have had an abortion, I am not judging you. I do hate that abortion exists. I do not understand the passion that people have when defending it. I do not hate women that have had abortions. I cannot imagine the circumstances that got you to that decision. I wish that someone had been there to support you to make a decision for life and then stuck around to walk with you through it and beyond. All that being said, this is graphic. And it needs to be said. Most people try to think about abortion as a simple, legal procedure, or not think about it at all. There is nothing simple about it. For every abortion that takes place, two peoples lives, will be forever changed.
　
Abortion is not a new concept. The methods used to end a pregnancy have not evolved a whole lot. Thousands of years ago, sharp stick-like objects, were put into a woman's vagina with the intent to cause harm, physical trauma, and to stop the life growing with in.
　
Women have been using herbs, and poisons to end pregnancies. If a woman went to a midwife, or a then 'healthcare provider', she may have been advised to do vigorous labor, and have heavy objects such as rocks piled on her belly. Women were also told to sit on a steaming pot of onions. Tightly binding the mid section of a woman's body was another way to induce early labor to end a pregnancy.
　
Barbaric practices you might say. Yeah, we are so much more civilized now, said with sarcasm. Instead of a stick, a candle or a coat hanger there are a surgical instruments.
　
Instead of sitting on a pot of steam, they, in recent times have, used a syringe to drain amniotic fluid, and then deliver saline, (an extremely strong salt solution), into the abdomen to poison and kill the baby. This abortion can take up to 5 days to be complete. Complications such as the saline entering the woman's bloodstream and causing brain damage or death, to the woman, resulted in many countries, including Japan, to give this practice up in the 1960's. At that time, the U.S. ignored medical journals advising against this procedure. The last written record of this type of abortion, in the U.S. was in the mid 1990's. A complication that no abortionist wants to have would be having  the baby born alive. The survival rate for the baby is high, using saline. This fact had contributed it to being fazed out. I read that doctors do not have to report abortions that end in live births. I have attached a 4 min video of a story from a woman who survived a saline abortion. http://youtu.be/y5PlZzpfHQI
　
Suction abortion, or Vacuum aspiration. This procedure can be used in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, for the purpose of ending it. It is also used as a tool to aide in a D&E or Dilation and Evacuation, in the second trimester, (13-24 weeks). The D&E is when the cervix is dilated, and contents of the uterus are removed. Forceps are used to pull what they call 'tissue' out of the birth canal. After 20 weeks, it becomes difficult to use this method because this tissue is "tough". It would be interesting to note that this 'tissue' has a heartbeat that can be seen and heard on a ultra scan (sonogram) at 5-6 weeks.
　
Instead of a mixture of herbs and poisons, now you can just pop a few pills. These days, there has been a big push to make the RU486, pill accessible to anyone. I think that I first heard of that drug 6-7 years ago. I remember thinking, 'Isn't that clever RU486, (Are You For 86), 86 being the term we sometimes use when we want to get rid of, forget, dispose, discard or reject something." Marketing and Branding, can be a very powerful tool. Currently using the RU486 method can take days-to weeks to induce an abortion. It is suppose to require 3 visits to the Doctor. At the 1st visit, the woman is examined and given the RU486 pills to be taken in the presence of the abortionist. Two days later, she goes back and is given the drug prostaglandin, which is either taken orally or inserted vaginally. This will cause her to go into labor. The process to expel the baby can take anywhere from 4 to 20 hours. She will return for a follow up visit 14 days from the 1st visit, to find out if the baby is partially or totally aborted. If there are still baby remains, or there is still a heartbeat, she will then be advised to schedule a surgical abortion. Risks for women using RU486 include, but are not limited, to prolonged, heavy bleeding (10-44 days), nausea, extreme cramping, headache, diarrhea, skin rash, allergic reaction and vomiting. The far reaching effects to be realized on the future children of these women is yet to be known. RU486 cost $300–$800.

 Today, the abortion activists are trying to influence the law, so you wouldn't even have to see a medical professional in person, to get that prescription. You would be able to obtain it online.

When did the abortion movement get so organized? That's next.

Right Beside You Building 429

Over 53 Million

 There have been more than 53 million abortions performed in the United States since Roe v. Wade was decided back in 1973.

I have made comments on my FB wall about the lies that are told about abortion. At times, I have been told not to judge. I wasn't. At least that was not my intention. I decided the last time that I would try to refrain from posting short remarks that can be misunderstood when taken out of context. I would try to save my thoughts for the blog. That way if someone wants to read them, they actually have to go to the link rather than random comments just showing up on their news feed.

I am soon to begin a series of blogs on abortion. I would like to expose to those that don't know, the origins of Planned Parenthood. I would like not to just speak for those babies that were never given a chance to speak for themselves, but I would also like to give their mothers' a voice. There have been 53 million babies killed since Roe.vs. Wade was decided in 1973. That means that there are 53 million women walking around today, with the physical and emotional ramifications of that decision. This is something that the abortions rights political machine, will not talk about or even aknowledge. I have several friends that have had abortions. It was a decision that they did not make lightly, and most of them have regrets.

If you have made this life altering decision and wish your story to be told, please contact me, through my Inbox on FB. I know through tracking the traffic on how people reach my blog, that most get to it through FB. If you, or if you know someone that would like to have their stories told, contact me. Your identity will be protected, and your story can be told. Your not alone.

What got you to that decision? How were you treated at that clinic? How was your aftercare? Were there complications? Looking back, how has it shaped your life? How is your health today? If you were able to go back to that day, and talk to the you of that time, what would you want her to know.

An entire generation has been born and have grown to adulthood since abortion became a 'legal right', in this country. That's one of the arguments I hear all the time. "It's legal, so it must be ok." Slavery was once legal in this country, and that did not make it ok. Let me say that another way, 'It was once a legal right to own a person, and do whatever, and to make that person do whatever you wanted to. You could beat, torture and kill a person.' You were protected by law. It was your right. It was, and is still wrong.

My hope in writing this series is to uncover the abortion industry for what it was when it was organized. I don't wish to demonize the women that make this 'choice', but rather to expose the political monster that hide behind and use them to further their agenda.

Things That Annoy, 1-5

I started to blog 10 months ago. The title I picked for my blog is self explanatory. It's what I do for a living. Being that it is not exactly an occupation that requires a whole lot of interaction with others, it leaves me with a whole lot of time to think, obsess even, about everything. I don't consider myself to be a "what about, or why me?" type person. I generally know when I have stepped in something and brought the stink upon myself. That's not to say I don't have pet peeves about life, and the people that make up life, including myself. I do have a low tolerance for stupid.

Here, is part 1 of Things That Annoy.

1-5.

1. People who spit chewing tobacco, or gum or pizza into an urinal. That's just gross.

2. People that see you coming, and pull out in front of you anyhow, while turning their head in the other direction. Like if they don't look, the accident won't happen or maybe they just put great faith in my mad Ninja skills.

 3. How many calories are in a .89 Cent-32oz-no ice Pepsi. There is really nothing empty about those calories. They still make me fat. #Ihavenoselfcontrol.

4. Political commercials. They all lie. I DO, love my DVR, fast forwarding make my brain hurt less.

5. Bullies. I kind of miss the days when we could knock them down a few peg's without getting in trouble with the law.

How about you? Can you relate? What are your annoyances? Am I the only one?

Pay It Forward Connections.

Whats next? Prayer. I think there will be much more prayer time in my future. This country, We The People, will depend on it. I will also continue to write about things that I am passionate about. I have decided, (all you cat lovers will appreciate this), that I will probably not be writing about my disdain for cats. After writing about churches and this year's election, I have felt that the subject of 'CATS' would be way too controversial.

I will be getting back to my "Bucket List" dated 7/10/12. Today I am one step closer to debt freedom as I have paid off my personal loan. So now it's down to one credit card and the mortgage. On paper, it will be in 8 years. #2 on that list was to learn to horseback ride. I have had only one lesson since writing that. My back went out a couple of weeks ago, so I need to get that straight, (pun intended) before the lessons resume.

#10 on the list was, ...be in full time ministry. I want to start a ministry that brings people together to help each other, all the while pointing them to Jesus. Knowledge of salvation is free. The ministry is based on the fact that everyone has a gift or skill that someone else can use, and those that are gifted and skilled also have needs that others can fulfill. Those who accept help will be expected to sign a contract to help others when needs arise. No outright handouts. Not a social program. No entitlements. I have decided not to wait to start this until I'm debt free. I see the needs being too great. I won't be able to do it full time, but it will get started. I have been calling it Pay It Forward Connections. That name may already be copyrighted or trademarked. I need to check all that out.

I hope to a have small businesses donate time, materials or both to the ministry by way of a promise.

Here, is an example of how this will work:

Joe the plumber has promised to donate x amount of parts and labor to the ministry. Ministry gets a call from a mom who's husband is deployed. She has a plumbing issues that she just can't fix or afford to deal with. Joe will take care of the issue and write off expenses. Mom has signed a contract that commits her, time, and or talents to the problem that someone else in the network may have. For instance, She may be an awesome cook. Maybe she could be called on to prepare food for Joe, or someone else in the network should the need arise. Maybe there is an elderly person that needs occasional rides to appts., or their house needs cleaning, but they can iron or mend clothes. Maybe someone is unable to mow their lawn, but is able to babysit a couple of kids. Someone else may able donate grocery store gift cards for when people have those lean times, but don't have time to rake their leaves. Someone could be a computer whiz, while being totally ignorant how to live within a budget. They could be linked up with someone who's problem is the opposite. People don't have to give and take from the same people, but there is a source that they can pull from.

The list could go on and on. We all have gifts and talents. Most of us would help in a situation if we knew and were able to. This will be a network that will connect people. The contract will not be a legal document. It's a promise to do what you can, when you can. However, if you don't seem willing to meet the expectations in the contract, once you have received help, you will be dropped from the network. This will not be a simple handout. Not another social program. It can be done better than the government.

20 years ago I was told by a counselor that I was codependent. The result of growing up in an alcoholic family. One of the traits of the co-dependent is to try to fix things all the time. Fix people all the time. To take control, because growing up you have no control over what is happening around you. I have decided not to look at that as being a negative quality. I choose to think of myself as a 'find a need and fill it' type person. Proverbs 3:27,28; "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you"—when you already have it with you.

This will be a Hands and Feet of Jesus ministry. Because...He is Still On The Throne.

The Pickle

"I am voting for a president, not a Pastor." "This year, I am voting as an American, not as a Christian." "We have no choice, we can't afford 4 more years of Obama." "At least he has family values" "If you don't vote for Romney, it's a vote for Obama." "I am voting for economics, and for someone that can get our country back on track."

These are all examples of what I have been hearing the last few weeks. Passion and desperation goes hand in hand. The whole point of me researching the Mormon faith has not been to try to persuade anyone how to vote. Rather it has been not to vote blindly. To look at the implications, especially from God's word, and what He has told us. We Americans have got ourselves in to a pickle. Remember that game from our past? Three people play. Two people have control of the ball, the one in the middle tries to avoid getting tagged out. We have been tagged out; we just don't realize it yet.

4 years ago we voted in a man that nobody really knew anything about. In this last term, we have seen our country slide down the slippery slope of socialism. One of Obama's favorite quotes is "Everyone need to do their 'fair share'." We have watched our country become more of a nanny state than it ever has been before. Programs that were meant as a helping hand, to get out of 'tough situations' have become a lifestyle choice. And to be fair, it started before Obama. He just believes that he is 'entitled' to take our money and give it to the ones that 'deserve' it.

Someone like Romney, shouldn't say that he will never get the votes of the "47%.", because they fear of losing their 'benefits.' His net worth is so astronomical that saying something like that sounds bad to even his supporters. I can say that. I can make comments like that because I clean toilets. I have that job that people use to, compare something to another job, when trying to make the point that things could be a lot worse.

When I hear, "I am voting for a president, not a pastor." It makes me wonder. Do you think that Romney's upbringing, his belief system, his core values, his Christian worldview won't affect his presidency? Do you also think that has been the case for Obama's term? Don't you think that his policy making, his actions or inaction's have been largely based on his upbringing, and the people that helped shape his life. I was recently reminded about these people while watching the movie, "Obama's America 2016." I had forgotten about all the Rev. Wrights  that had surfaced, caused a small media circus only to disappear again. Where did they go?

14 days til election day. I started this blog subject with; The Sky Is Falling on Oct. 9th. It was a reaction to something my son had said about feeling let down by some of the people he has always respected. Feeling like they sold out to someone that he had been taught to understand was in a cult, all because they were following the republican party. Digging deeper, I think it also has to do with the influence that his union has had on him. We are a union family. It's a tough place to be when the party that you want to support, want to tie the hands of the people that want to protect your job, as well as keep you safe on the job. Equipment  and adequate personnel, are important. Our police officers, firemen, and public works employees-their lives depend on it.

I have taken different bible-book studies on cults over the years, so I had some information to start with. As I collected information from different sources, the constant fall-back source was the Bible. Nothing I found has shown me that Mormonism is anything but a false doctrine. I think it's that black and white. If that has made me look like a religious bigot, then there you have it. I am. I have noticed that I have gotten less public support over this past week, as opposed to other posts I have written. But people are coming to me privately, inbox, phone, in person to say that they have felt the same way, and are glad I am saying it out loud. Sometimes it is unpopular to speak the truth. Especially when you back it up with scripture. It's hard to argue with God's word. Sometimes it's hard to be the 'Outcast'. At one point when I said to someone that I can't vote for either one, I was told that then I would be giving Obama my vote. I honestly think that corruption runs so deep on both sides, that my one vote, won't make a bit of a difference. Maybe if, we actually elected people by popular vote it would matter, but we don't.

A Funny story. Last Tuesday, after hearing that I would be voting for Obama by default, a couple of times, I was talking to a friend about it. She was over doing laundry, and had just gotten caught up on my blogs, and had read a couple that were to be posted later that week.(She has no internet at home) I won't say her name, but it rhymes with Pizza Barker. I asked her if people will think I'm nuts when I start talking about God's hand of protection lifting from our country. She was answering me something about 'like minded Christians will understand what I am trying to say,' when the earth started rumbling, and shaking. Yup, that's what we were doing during the earthquake. It was hilarious! Scary, but too funny. Am I saying that God orchestrated that earthquake to take place during this particular conversation? No. I'm not that arrogant. But it was priceless. If your reading this, and don't live in NH, an earthquake that registers at a 4, on the scale, is a big deal in these parts. It doesn't happen a whole lot. In fact, I have lived here all my life, 47 years, and that's the first one I ever felt. We usually hear about it on the news after the fact.

I am kind of a conspiracy theorist. I have read the first book, the last book, and the ones in the middle. It's only recently, like the last 20 years, that I have been able to imagine how everything might come together. Just cause your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Thank God, He is still on the Throne.
