Silence is Acceptance

Tom Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in the U.S. Congress. When discussing his ordeal he did not mention the cruelty of the soldiers. Instead he was haunted by the fact that the citizens of Budapest crowded around the trains taking he and his siblings to the death camps, not to stop them but simply to watch.

There is a whole lot of watching going on in the United States today. Too much apathy.

Remember, silence is acceptance. 

Race-Baiting Liberals and Progressives

The next time your favorite liberal, progressive, or Democrat makes race-baiting comments about conservatives and/or Republicans, point them to:

• The congressional record of the 1964 Civil Rights Act where - 80% of House Republicans voted for it; 61% of Democrats and 82% of Senate Republicans voted for it; 69% of Democrats.
• Remind them of the party affiliation of Abraham Lincoln. 
• Reintroduce them to Mr. Jim Crow. 
• Ask them how the African-American community as a whole has fared since the so called "War on Poverty" commenced. 
• Ask them what the abortion rate is in many of the nation's poorest, predominately African-American communities (i.e. the greater New York City area). 
• Ask them what the murder rate is among African-American youths in Chicago. 
• Ask them what percent of African-Americans grow up in single-parent households compared to other demographics.
• Ask them to compare unemployment rates, poverty rates,  graduation rates, and rates of welfare payments to the African-American community versus any other demographic. 

Then tell them to sit down and shut up!

The Truth about the Immigration Bill

Do the advocates of the current Senate Amnesty (Immigration) Bill have the best interest of the American people at heart? Do they consider the impact on the American middle class worker when they have to compete with millions of newly legal immigrants? Are our congressional representatives representing the Americans who put them in office or a constituency of non-citizens? 

Consider the plethora of amendments to improve the bill that HAVE BEEN DEFEATED:

• Confirm the border is secure before granting any amnesty.
• Restrictions on gang members.
• Curb financial aid and welfare payments to illegal immigrants
• Exclude many criminals from the proposed amnesty.
• Mandated fingerprint-checks at some of the nation’s busiest airports.
• Reallocate federal funding currently going to "sanctuary cities" to enforcement agencies.
• Strengthening asylum laws
• Deny amnesty to serious criminals, including domestic abusers, child abusers, and drunk drivers.
• Deny annual Earned Income Tax Credit payments to people who receive amnesty.
• Allow profiling by country of origin.

Read each of those again and ask yourself why any elected American official would oppose any of them?

Religion in America

While church attendance in America may be on the decline, religion in America flourishes! Consider the following religions:

• Global Warming
• Abortion
• Environmentalism
• Progressivism
• Liberalism
• Keeping-Up-With-The-Joneses
• In the case of members of Congress, the religion of Remaining-Relevant or Maintaining-My-Popularity-for-the-Georgetown-Cocktail-Party-Circuit
• The most damaging religion in America is that of Party-Above-Reason. This is the religion that worships a political party above all else. Despite evidence of looming bankruptcy, debt and deficits at record highs, record levels of high unemployment, record low levels of labor force participation, dismal economic statistics, perpetual $3.50 gallon of gas, lower levels of income, record levels of food stamp recipients, willful misrepresentation of legislation, lies, deception, cover-ups, cronyism, lack of accountability, record levels of people on disability, and a dead American Ambassador, many Americans refuse to hold the government accountable for its complete ineptitude because their religion precludes them from such.

Look into the Future

Want to look into the future of Obamacare? Of healthcare administered by The State? Of rationing of care? Of death panels? Look no further than Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' callous response to an appeal for a change in the national organ donor rules in order to save the life of a 10-year old girl.

As you listen to Sebelius say, "someone lives and someone dies", carefully consider the fact that the 2,000+ page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) grants vast discretion to the HHS secretary to implement and interpret the law.

Now fast-forward 5 or 10 years from now, when the law is fully implemented, when your aging mother or grandmother or infant niece needs aggressive medical care but is being denied by Washington. What do you do? Go crawling and begging to your Congressman?

This is what happens to a society that puts God in a backpack rather than a pedestal. We forget that everyone is made in His image and we allow a secularist minority to run the country.

It is very sad and very troubling.
