Only One Law Counts; The Other Side is a Joke!

WHERE IS AMERICA’S MORAL COMPASS TODAY?

(Mar. 7, 2012) — As you read this, if you read this, I already know there are some that will be thinking, “Does this guy really believe what he is saying?”  So they don’t have to post the question I will answer before it’s asked: “Yes, I believe every word, otherwise I wouldn’t waste time writing it.”  Furthermore, for those who might ask, I don’t recall ever writing things I did not believe.  For those who are atheists, you may want to skip reading this because I will be mentioning God, and yes, I do believe in God for some very good reasons.  Congressmen, as you read this,….. oh, sorry I forgot,….. you don’t read anything,” my bad!

I’ve heard people, over the past three or four years, expressing  the same concern again and again:  “Something strange is happening in the world; I can’t put my finger on it; it’s just a gut feeling I have.”  I have also heard, “It seems as though the whole world is going mad; just look at all the crime.”  Their fears aren’t unfounded, and they are correct that a type of madness is sweeping our nation when day in and day out we turn on the news and hear of children being molested by people held in high regard in our communities. some of them holding honored positions within our government.  Then we are told we need to “decriminalize” the actions of these predators because they are “youth-attracted”  and mean no harm.  I suppose rape and murder are now just a new expression of love, or at least that is what the liberals want us to believe.  I guess if you can hold a newborn child in your hands and jam a hollow rod in the back of his or her skull to suck their brains out and kill them, it makes perfect sense.

It makes perfect sense to me when people elect a putative president who makes this Godforsaken procedure lawful.  It especially makes sense when that same president justifies it by saying, “If one of my daughters makes a mistake I don’t want her punished with a baby.”  As I recall, having a child is one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind, but then I remembered that Obama thinks he is God.  God of hell I can accept; perhaps that’s what he meant?  If you add up all the unholy, immoral, socially destructive behavior emerging in our nation you would be absolutely correct to say we have an epidemic of madness in America.  It makes me wonder, what obscene daemon of hell has “occupied Washington?” Just the simple fact that this Congress, or any Congress, even entertains a fleeting thought of such matters is proof of their incompetence and moral depredation.   Is this what we sent them there to do?

I could write an entire book exposing the symptoms of madness overtaking our great country.  Symptoms such as the lies and deceit behind trillions of dollars stolen from the American people which Congress and the administration call “debt” that actually does not exist.  Symptoms such as Congressmen and women paid millions of dollars when they cost millions of Americans their life savings, then did the hokey pokey all the way to their banks, which they also stole.  As I said, I could write an entire book, but I need to get to the point of this.

There is a reason all this is happening now.  There is a way to stop it and repair the damage.  However, as hopeful as that may sound, I honestly don’t see much chance that enough Americans are willing to do what’s necessary to save their country or their freedom.

If you have read this far, you don’t need sociology lessons and already know that human beings are social mammals.  We all have needs, wants and desires.  Up until recently, most Americans had enough integrity and dignity to control the way in which they met their needs, satisfied their wants and dispatched their desires.  Most of us achieved these ends without harming others and when necessary, were willing to sacrifice.  We did this practicing character traits of ethics, morality, and respect for others’ equal rights.  The character traits I speak of didn’t simply manifest  as a result of our DNA; they were learned.   The source of these learned traits is thousands of years old, handed down generation after generation.  It is the one and only thing that has made it possible for man to survive and achieve through the ages:  the word of God, the Holy Bible.  Modern law would not exist without it; mankind would still be scrambling about like animals clubbing each other to death over the bloody carcass of a dead rabbit or squirrel.

The Ten Commandments of God are responsible for man’s survival and achievement.  Without them, man simply would have disappeared from the face of the earth soon after he appeared.  The law of man will not and cannot protect anyone without the law of God; this I can prove.  Take, for instance, me:  I believe in God.  If I were to discover, which will never happen, that God was not real, why would I continue to allow those who cheat and steal from me in government to get away with it?  I wouldn’t.  Without that moral compass, I would find a way to get at them.  Does anyone believe that I would give a darn about “man’s law?”  Not on your life.  Furthermore, there aren’t a great many like me if you consider our numbers as compared to the population as a whole.

We are trained in modern warfare and tactics to a very high degree.  Most of our number have real world experience and are capable of controlling just about any situation we want.   What would happen to this world if all these individuals were told that morality was no longer something they had to consider, that there was no God to judge them and after this life it’s over?  I think any reasonable person can answer that question, and the answer would be that those types would rule all the rest.  There would be no government, only tribes, and human life would be worthless.

If you keep in mind what I have just written and think of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, I believe you will start to get a picture of what we are up against on that front.  Their moral compass is pointed in a much different direction.  Their “Allah” allows them to dominate, by whatever means they desire, women and anyone in their tribe.  They are not governed by a God of love, peace and compassion.  They intend to take over all mankind by fear, murder, terror and torture.  God’s Ten Commandments mean nothing to them whatsoever.  If  they did, we would not be experiencing a war on terror or see women subjugated in ways that demoralize and dehumanize them all over the world.  Women are no more than cattle or goats to radical Islam.

In the same context, the crumbling of our society in America can be related to the absence of respect for God.  Without respect and obedience to God’s Ten Commandments there exists no moral compass.  This is the reason certain individuals and organizations push so hard to have the Christian way of life removed from our nation.  As long as Americans believe in God, have faith in Him and practice His word, America cannot be overtaken by them.  In recent years, we have seen court orders removing the Ten Commandments from public view in many places.  The excuse they always use is “separation of church and state.”  However, the way they present their arguments contradicts the United States Constitution.  Our current putative president and past three congresses have done more to destroy the moral compass of America than any other event or governing body in our history.

The results of their actions are clear for every American citizen to see:  economic collapse; increased white-collar crime, especially among government officials; moral decay, and the list goes on and on.  Only when our citizens respect God and demand morality and ethics of their elected officials will this nation have any chance to continue as the “land of the free.”  America is being crushed under the weight of its own immorality, and America is seen as the most sexually corrupt country on earth in the eyes of other nations.  If you think that’s acceptable, I want you to know it is my country, too, and I have fought and bled for it.
