I’m a single issue voter—LIFE

I have a big ol' Thompson Chain Reference NIV Bible that I take to my Saturday class (we're doing Beth Moore's David). Because she was doing an armor of God passage, I looked up the "chain" topic to see what other passages had a similar meaning. The topic (374) BATTLE OF LIFE was in bold on the upper right hand of the page on the right hand side of the open Bible, a total of 4.5 columns (turning the page). Then I noticed the word on the upper left of the page on the left. BARAK. One verse. Can we say confirmation for this single issue voter?

                         

Susan Rice

The woman who went on five different Sunday talk shows a week ago to lie to the American people about the attack in Libya on
9/11, saying it was a spontaneous protest when the administration knew it was in fact a terrorist attack 24 hours after it occurred, skipped Israeli Ambassador Benjamin Netanyahu's speech yesterday at the U.N. General Assembly in New York City. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice instead decided to go to a lunch with foreign ministers. There is no word on whether Rice's decision to skip Netanyahu's speech was spontaneous or planned in advance.

The same people careless with womb life may not think boomer life is so great either.

Is it a lie if everyone else knows the truth?

Kathleen McKinley, Houston Chronicle, 9-28-12

"We now know that Ambassador Susan Rice went on all Sunday news shows a week ago and knowingly lied to America by saying the Libyan attack was a protest that went wrong, and NOT a planned terrorist attack. The White House also falsely insisted that it was because of a video on Youtube. Not for a day or two, but for TWO WEEKS. The White House not only knew within 24 hours of the attacks that it was a planned terrorist attack, they also knew that Al Qaeda was most likely behind the attack."

Well, Yes, Kathleen, this is true, however, everyone knew the WH was lying.  I think I had it figured out the next day.  The harm is to his imploding reputation. Democrat presidents don't just lie about sex.

Major Crimes—it’s just not working for me

"I asked for season 7 of the Closer (DVD) for my birthday last week, which my daughter and son in law gave me when we went out to eat at the Rusty Bucket. Oops. My husband had started over with season one, is viewing one a day, so it may be after Christmas before I get to see it (we watch them together).  Yesterday he started season Two. He's the kind of guy who can put a package of double fudge brownies in the freezer and only eat one a day!"

Kyra Sedgwick the star of the Closer:

After seven seasons, the ratings keep going up. For some people, this would mean staying until viewers stopped watching. But Sedgwick was happy that fans are still begging for "The Closer" not to end. The 46-year-old admitted to the L.A. Times, "People come up to me all the time and go, 'Please! Don't! Why?' It's heartbreaking, and I feel badly about it, but I'm also thankful they're saying that and not, 'You're still doing that show? Oy!' It's so much better to leave having people want more."

                   

Forty days of prayer

         

‎40 days of prayer (before the election) started today. When I googled this I found a lot of groups--Catholics, evangelicals, Baptists, and various ministries I've never heard of. I think I even saw that Planned Parenthood was doing some sort of prayer thing, which seems really odd. (Please God, send us more helpless babies? The coffers are getting low.) So I was in exercise class at UALC-Lytham, bored (I hate exercise), so I prayed while following the routine. Up with God, 2-3-4/down with debt 2-3-4; heal the nation 3-4/change our hearts 3-4.

Today, our nation faces multiple crises – pending economic collapse, moral disintegration, and international terrorism -- but all have spiritual underpinnings. Together, they are even more daunting than those Americans confronted in 1776, 1863 and 1941.

Now as then, our national survival is at stake.

Now as then, our destiny rests in God's hands. The crises confronting us are beyond the power of human beings to resolve without Divine guidance.

Nothing short of a Third Great Awakening can save us.

And then there was this one in the 40 days before the 2008 Election:

Whomever is elected, we must remember the words that Daniel spoke to a godless king, Belshazzar, many centuries ago. He said: “The Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes.” (Daniel 5:21)

But this one, by Catholic Sistas, actually had a list of what to pray for.

Take back our language

The term “politically correct” has become very trite and is applied to everything from learning disabilities (“differently abled” for emotionally disturbed, disruptive students) or career choices (“sanitation engineer” for garbage truck driver).

Calmly speak the truth, and if you are called a racist, a homophobe or an Islamophobe when telling the truth, stop the assault, because that is what it is. You are being silenced, not with a loaded gun but with loaded words.

• Being concerned about what Islamic leaders declare publicly about the destruction of Israel, is not Islam-hating or bigotry—it is citing their own sources and leaders—believe them;
• saying Obama is a food stamp president is not racist—it is the policy of his own administration to actively recruit low income people to government programs—bonuses and stimulus money are used for this and it manipulates their loyalties;
• supporting the Biblical definition of marriage is not gay bashing, it is God’s plan for the continuance of the human race with whom he wants to be in relationship, the very people for whom Jesus died.

One candidate DOES have time for Netanyahu!

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mitt Romney to have foreign affairs conversation today.

President Obama refused to meet with Netanyahu on his trip to the United States, and the Israeli government presumably thought a meeting with the opposition candidate in the absence of one with the sitting president would be too provocative. But there was apparently an eagerness on the Israeli prime minister's part to talk with Romney in order to help win as broad American support as possible for the red lines he outlined in his United Nations speech with respect to the Iranian nuclear program.

As for Romney, he expects to explore Netanyahu's understanding of the red lines, and also, we are told, wants to hear Netanyahu's perspective on developments elsewhere in the Middle East.

Not sure if that important governmental advisory group, The View, has time for Romney.

From an e-mail—it’s going around

Rich is relative

The Obamas are worth about $12 million.  Maybe pikers compared to the Romneys but certainly the 1%, and a whole lot wealthier than you or me.  Neither Barack nor Michelle attended public schools, nor have their children.

An American physician speaks out

“All our life, my family has walked in the American way. We did not take anything from anyone. We never felt entitled. Instead, through our own hard work, we struggled for success.

My husband, Sheldon Adelson, a son of a poor Boston taxi driver, started his business life at the age of 12, and has achieved everything with his own hands. His companies have directly created more than 50,000 jobs and indirectly provided employment for hundreds of thousands of Americans and people around the world. These jobs have in turn supported an even greater number of families.

For my part, I have worked as a medical doctor for almost 40 years in the areas of internal, emergency and addiction medicine. In those years I have saved human life and helped countless individuals regain meaningful lives.

Our belief is that it is one’s right and obligation to rely on oneself, on one’s efforts, on one’s talent. This is the American way. This is the dignified way — to be an entrepreneur, not a follower; to rely on yourself, not to expect the government to take care of you; to strive to do your work by yourself, not to demand others do it for you.

And if you succeed, then your success is exactly what America is about — proof of the American dream!

But the American dream is possible because of certain fundamental rights that are conferred and protected by our Constitution.”

There’s a clear difference

Pursuing doesn’t guarantee catching

It’s time for a new economic patriotism—King Barack

Last year $1.4 BILLION of US taxpayer money was spent on King Barack and his court.  And he criticizes Mitt Romney who spends his own money.

I’m a single issue voter!

But that one issue covers a lot of territory.  Enticing women to vote Democrat with free birth control pills?  Tacky.  Plus, for as long as they’ve been keeping track, the more birth control is made available, whether free or insurance or private money, the higher the abortion rate goes.  Now, if you can’t figure that one out, it’s back to Sex 101 for you. 

The most anti-life President in the history of the United States, both as an Illinois senator and a U.S. senator, who has also expanded  the wars, personally selects his drone targets, not kept his promises to religious groups, and bowed to Muslim leaders who enslave women and imprison gays.

Tax money for the nation’s largest abortion provider (actually Nixon started that, so Obama is only expanding what a Republican started).

Destruction of the first amendment with the HHS Mandate—he began with religion which is the basis of free speech, and now he’s wimping out before Muslims over our constitutional right to free speech because they want Shariia.  Morsi, whom he helped put in power with his smiling approval of Arab Spring, is criticizing Obama’s defense.

Mother Teresa said that abortion is the biggest threat to world peace, and I agree. And your reasons for approving the killing of babies in the womb?

Romney’s ad—Ohio is coal country

http://www.mittromney.com/forms/bankrupt

“President Obama is attacking Mitt Romney because Mitt Romney supports coal miners.

In 2008, Barack Obama said building a coal-powered plant will bankrupt you. (voice over and video of that famous line)

President Obama wages war on coal while we lose jobs to China. We can’t afford four more years.”

Remember all those squirrely light bulbs the government is forcing us to buy?  Made in China.  In coal fired plants.  And it’s not even clean coal, and they are terrible polluters.

“CFLs are manufactured mostly in China with virtually no health, safety, or environmental protection regulations. Ironically, most of the electricity used to manufacture CFLs comes from coal-fired generators. As CFLs increase in popularity, mercury exposure to workers, to electricians, to maintenance personal, to consumers, to water supplies, and to the living environment, will go ahead almost unchecked.” http://lightbulbchoice.com/cfls-are-mercury-polluters/

Woman vandalizes pro-Israel poster

Mona Eltahawy screams at police: "What are you arresting me for?" For starters, spray painting walls in a subway, assaulting another citizen, pushing and shoving. Screaming at police. Resisting arrest. Stupidity? Racism? And she's a CNN and MSNBC favorite guest? I've never seen her, have to take their word for it. Her 5 minutes of fame.

However, I viewed the video, and it was not an anti-Muslim poster, it was pro-Israel, condemning Jihad.  So I don't know who wrote the headline. But we've twisted the English language so much, now supporting Israel is anti-Muslim; supporting traditional marriage is homophobic; saying Obama and Chicago in the same sentence is racist.

Remember the flap about Romney’s dog?

President Obama’s dog gets its own high-paid staffer:

“Bo made the news when he and his handler were flown to join the president on vacation in Maine,” Gray wrote about the Obama family dog. “It has been reported that the first family’s dog handler was paid $102,000, last year.”

That would be an excellent story to go along with the Romney dog carrier of 30 years ago. But I doubt that the media cares. I’m trying to think what a 40 hour week looks like for a “dog handler” of one dog.

The food police are coming

Here is a frightening prospect:

"To have any chance of release from obesity's ever-tightening grip, the NATION will REQUIRE broad based efforts in every corner of society: homes, schools, community organizations, all levels of GOVERNMENT, urban design, transportation, agriculture, the food industry, the media, medical practice, and, without question, biomedical research."

JAMA Sept. 19, 2012 p. 1095

Any chart of the growth of the restaurant industry can show you the relationship between the modern women/feminist movement and obesity.   So maybe it’s up to moms to rein in the eating out, to spend a bit more time in the kitchen preparing food instead of opening packages, and stop driving the kids everywhere.  Actually, the childhood "obesity epidemic” stalled over a decade ago, but that hasn’t stopped the government intrusion in our lives.

The researchers can glamorize or sympathize, but the fact remains, a woman employed outside the home whose time is valuable, turns to restaurants/fast food outlets to feed her family.  Many women know nothing of the time short cuts or economic savings women of my generation learned from our mothers.

“The researchers acknowledge that food prepared in the home is nominally cheaper than purchasing food in restaurants. But in view of the value of time that must be devoted to shopping and cooking, as compared to the high-calorie, low-cost, mass-production meals available at ever-increasingly convenient locations (with ever diminishing travel and waiting time), the fast-food option appears to make good economic, if not health, sense.”

Tiller’s abortion clinic will reopen

It’s true that atheist dictators and despots have killed far more people (usually their own citizens/subjects) than all the wars Christians have fought over theology, liturgy, Christology, etc., however, if Christian abortionists like George Tiller (Lutheran) and the pro-choice Christians keep at it, they could surpass those killing fields.

“The Wichita-based non-profit group Trust Women Foundation Inc. purchased Tiller’s former clinic in late August, Executive Director Julie Burkhart said Wednesday.

Erin Thompson, an attorney for Tiller’s widow, confirmed the sale. “

I’m against the death penalty, whether it’s murder of an abortionist, murder of a pre-born baby, or the legal execution of a slime ball doctor who murdered his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood.  But at least I’m consistent.  Are you?

An abortionist can make more money before noon in one day, than following one patient 7 months to deliver a live baby, and s/he doesn’t need to worry about being sue several years later if the baby isn’t perfect, smart, and athletic.
