Boosh is not loyal to the United States, that he is in fact a traitor. One of those proofs is of course his refusal to stop the illegal alien invasion of our country, which he could stop in ten minutes by picking up the phone. The fact that he does not pick up the phone is proof that he wants the invasion, that he is leading it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another proof is his sponsorship of the North American Union, which means that he is literally leading a campaign to abolish this country by submerging it in a regional government with Mexico and Canada. This is not at all an exaggeration. Boosh is working to abolish the United States. He is a traitor. What else could you call an alleged “American” who is doing that? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But there is an even more devastating proof that this man should be arrested. It comes to us from the military. From time to time I have alluded to the fact that Boosh has given the edge in combat to the enemy; that under Boosh an American really shouldn’t go into combat without his lawyer; that Boosh is demoralizing our military by throwing our own – the best of the best – into prison, convicted of “war crimes.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s put some individual faces on this treason by looking at a few examples of what Boosh has done. Marcus Luttrell is a Navy SEAL. In June, 2005, he and three others parachuted deep inside Taliban territory in Afghanistan. Their mission: kill or capture a Taliban leader named Ahmad Shah, thought to be close to Osama bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But a couple of local Afghans discovered their hiding place. One of the SEALS voted to kill them. Another voted to let them go. The third abstained. The deciding vote was Marcus Luttrell’s and he elected to spare them. Why? “I didn't want to go to jail.” The SEALS let the Afghans go. The Afghans reported their presence to the Taliban, about one hundred of whom returned and attacked. Three of the four SEALS were killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sixteen Special Forces rescuers aboard a Chinook choppered in. The Taliban shot it down with an RPG. All sixteen were killed. Luttrell was the Lone Survivor. That is the title of his book, published last year by Little, Brown. His nose was broken, his face torn up, some vertebra were shattered; his legs were full of shrapnel. Nineteen men died because Marcus Luttrell voted to let those Afghans go. Why? Again, “I didn't want to go to jail.” He was worried about committing a war crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What? Why would a Navy SEAL – the best of the best – dropped by his superiors among the enemy to kill one of them, devote precious attention to worry about going to jail? Because of the Rules of Engagement. It was the Rules of Engagement that killed those nineteen men. Who imposes those Rules of Engagement? Well, who is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces? It is el presidente Jorge W. Boosh. It was Boosh who killed those nineteen men by imposing those rules, by planting that fear in Marcus’s mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compare this horror to World War II. The reason that war is so important in this case is that it was the last war we fought that was legal and the last we tried to win. There was a legal declaration and we won in only three-and-a-half years. Could you name for me please one – one is all I ask – just one war crime committed by U.S. forces in that war? You say you can’t?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does your inability to name one mean that wherever we fought around the world for three-and-a-half years there never was an incident in which Americans – not worried about going to jail – killed interlopers, or maybe did something else that armchair strategists taking tea would not be happy with?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, obviously to believe that would be hopelessly naïve. There no doubt were many such incidents, but, because we were fighting to win, our government chose to look the other way, chose to give our men the edge. This is the place to recall for the hundredth time what combat is like and what truly American policy in war should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge hears the evidence in court. He retires to his chambers. He hits the books and studies the cases. He applies the cases to the facts. Stare decisis. The Constitution (we hope). Then he rules. Suppose, after all this, he makes a mistake? His mistake will be corrected by the court of appeals. If they make a mistake, it will go higher. In combat, much of the time, you have one second – often less – to decide who lives and who dies, and there is no judicial review. Your decision can’t be rescinded, whoever is dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the question is not whether you will make a mistake. You will. Especially behind enemy lines and house-to-house. You will make mistakes every day. That is not the question. The question is, will command back you up? And the answer is, yes, a government run by Americans will do that because, if you put a man in combat, it is a sacred trust, a most holy commitment originating in scripture to protect him. If the children of Israel honored their commitment to Rahab, an enemy hooker, how much more allegiance do we owe our own men?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what should be American military policy? We should stay out of “foreign entanglements.” We should scrupulously mind our own business. I’m talking of course about our federal government. No bases around the world. No “foreign aid.” We should encourage our people and our businesses to visit and trade privately with other people around the world. We should be mild in disagreement; we should defer in disputes. We should do everything possible to avoid conflict. We should tell people that if they want what we have they should emulate us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we should also let it be known that when all this fails, when, despite all this effort someone attacks us, we shall drop Marcus Luttrell behind enemy lines, 6'5" and 240 pounds of Texas choice beef, with orders to kill everything that moves and not to worry about jail. We should let it be known that we have the world’s most devastating military and that if you attack us despite these prodigious attempts to mind our own business, you will wake up tomorrow dead in a smoking hole in the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, I can take no credit for this foreign policy of genius; all I am doing is repeating in modern terminology the policy the Founding Fathers bequeathed us. Instead of which, Washington gives the edge not to our own but to the enemy. The Rules of Engagement tell our men to be polite, as if today’s war is an Eighteenth Century duel between gentlemen. Again and again, Jorge W. Boosh tries to throw our men into jail. Marcus was quite right to be worried.&lt;br /&gt;Here is another example of what happened to a man who did the opposite. U.S. Army sniper Evan Vela Carnahan is now serving ten years in prison. What did he do? Remember the “Sunni Triangle,” the “triangle of death?” He was there last year. In more than three days, his sniper team had slept about four hours. The temperature was 120 degrees. And his superiors were complaining that the snipers were not killing enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly, outside Iskandariyah, an Iraqi discovered their “hide,” making as much noise as he could, trying to alert nearby hostile Iraqis, yelling despite the sniper team’s efforts to keep him quiet. Carnahan’s superior ordered him to shoot the man to protect the team, which he did. And to please high Iraqi government officials, our government sacrificed him. Sgt. Carnahan is now in prison. Would he have been jailed for disobeying orders if he had not killed the man? By the way, he has a brother who has been in the Navy for six years. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I write, Jose L. Nazario is waiting to go on trial. In 2004, he was a Marine and fought in the month-long battle for Fallujah. This was room-to-room, house-to-house, hand-to-hand combat. One hundred and fifty Marines were killed. More than two thousand were wounded. Nazario’s battalion alone suffered thirty three dead and more than six hundred wounded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His unit came under fire from a house. Inside the house, the Marines found Soviet AK-47 rifles and ammunition, along with four men. Another Marine on the radio told Nazario to kill them. He allegedly killed two. He was honorably discharged from the Marines after eight years of service and two tours in Iraq, moved to Riverside, California and became a policeman. Last year, Washington charged him with two counts of manslaughter in the incident, which they cannot prove really happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does all this not remind you of Soviet agent Henry Kissinger’s remark that military men are “‘dumb, stupid animals to be used’ as pawns for foreign policy?” See Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, The Final Days (New York, Simon &amp;amp; Schuster, 1976, chapter 14, p. 194). Why has this enemy alien not been deported? That is obviously what Washington believes. Remember, these are just the latest examples of the Boosh Administration’s treasonous treatment of our men. Boosh is still trying to convict the remaining three Haditha Marines. The first five were exonerated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there is a crime here, yes, but the crime is not what Sgt. Vela did, what Navy SEAL Luttrell did not and what Sgt. Nazario is accused of doing. The crime is blithely starting a war drunk with imperial fantasies on behalf of favored international corporations, a war there was no legal, constitutional reason to start, a war in which our military men – the best of the best – are treated like one-use, throw-away accessories. If enough young Americans understood this, no one would enlist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blackwater USA is a private security outfit that the Boosh Administration has awarded more than $1 billion in contracts.&lt;/strong&gt; Last September 16, in Baghdad, Blackwater guards allegedly killed seventeen Iraqis while escorting U.S. State Department vehicles. No one has been prosecuted because the Blackwater people are contractors not governed by the law. But military men there under orders are kicked to the curb. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, Jorge W. Boosh is responsible for all this. We know that because if he were to pick up the phone and say, “Stop this at once,” it would stop – at once. He is a coward who, like his pal Clinton, the Arkansas rapist, evaded combat himself. Imagine dropping this smirking mountebank with Marcus Luttrell behind enemy lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a great idea!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-2788753963637953443?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/2788753963637953443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=2788753963637953443' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/2788753963637953443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/2788753963637953443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2008/04/ultimate-proof-bush-is-traitor.html' title='ULTIMATE PROOF, BUSH IS A TRAITOR'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-8604808963331398956</id><published>2008-01-09T20:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-09T20:28:47.481-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Does The Establishment Hate Ron Paul?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;By Chuck Baldwin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;January 8, 2008 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This column is archived at&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080108.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080108.html&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is it about Ron Paul that the Establishment finds so disturbing? This is a man who perhaps personifies Christian character and integrity, American patriotism, and family values more than any other public figure. Ron Paul is a committed family man whose marriage to Carol has lasted for more than 50 years. He is a lover of families and children. As an OB/GYN physician, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies into this world. His life demonstrates a commitment to life and marriage. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Furthermore, Ron Paul's devotion to Christ is very personal and deep. Unlike many politicians (especially in the Republican Party), Ron Paul does not wear his religion on his sleeve. He doesn't need to. Anyone who knows him knows his faith is exhibited on a daily basis. His life and family are testaments to his Christian faith. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beyond that, Ron Paul's record in Congress is so unblemished, so honest, so full of integrity that it is difficult to describe. This is a man who actually takes his oath to the Constitution (an oath every congressman, senator, and President also takes--but then ignores) seriously. So much so that he has never voted to raise taxes, never voted for an unbalanced budget, never voted for a congressional pay raise, never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership, and never voted to increase the power of the executive branch of the federal government. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In addition, Ron Paul has never taken a government-paid junket. Even though he is a 10-term congressman, he is not accepting a government pension. He also returns a portion of his office budget every year to the taxpayers. No wonder Ron Paul was declared to be the "Taxpayer's Best Friend." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now, how in the name of common sense can a man such as Ron Paul be hated? Maybe it is because he is a man of integrity and honesty. Remember, our Lord said that men who love darkness hate the light. And if there is a word that describes the Establishment in America today, it is DARKNESS. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name it: the establishment Democrat and Republican Parties, the establishment media, the establishment financial institutions, and even the establishment churches all seem to be run by people who exude the power of darkness. It should not surprise us, therefore, when a man arises who personifies the light of integrity and honesty, that the powers that be should hate him--and hate Ron Paul they do. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conservative Republican Ron Paul is loathed as much by members of his own party as he is by liberal Democrats. Even though he is the epitome of a Christian gentleman, Ron Paul is despised by Christians and pastors as much as he is by pagans--maybe more. The media despises him--especially Fox News. The so-called conservative Fox News celebrity Sean Hannity practically goes ballistic at the mere mention of Dr. Paul's name. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ron Paul has been categorized with the Ku Klux Klan, brothel owners, and Skin Heads. He has been called practically every name in the book. Conservatives and liberals alike rail against Dr. Paul in a manner never seen before in modern politics. Again, why does the Establishment hate him so much? I'll tell you why. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Establishment hates Ron Paul because his honesty and integrity expose the rest of them for the moral reprobates they are. Their own conscience cannot bear the sight of him. His very presence condemns them. Their personal greed and ambition cringe at the very thought of Ron Paul. If Dr. Paul became President, the Gig would be up! It would be Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday at Tombstone all over again. They know it, and they will fight like mad to keep their corrupt stranglehold on American politics. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another reason the Establishment hates Ron Paul is because he is a true American--and there are not very many true Americans left in Washington, D.C., these days. You see, Ron Paul has read and studied American history. He understands constitutional government. He knows what real money is--and is not. As historian and author Thomas DiLorenzo said, Ron Paul is a modern-day Thomas Jefferson. (See his column at:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo137.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo137.html&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; ) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unfortunately, most of what we have in Washington, D.C., these days (in both parties) is a bunch of internationalists who cannot see past their own selfish interests. They are consumed with greed and power. They are slaves to Big Business and special interest groups. They are petty, shallow hirelings who care nothing for constitutional government, the principles of liberty, or the American people. To them, Ron Paul represents everything they hate: limited government, freedom, selflessness, humility, and integrity. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Furthermore, Ron Paul is not interested in creating a world empire. Neither is he a warmonger. He would squash the burgeoning New World Order in its tracks--and the globalists ensconced in Washington and New York City know it. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is only one Presidential candidate who would bring a modern-day revolution to Washington, D.C., and it is not Barack Obama or Mike Huckabee. It is Ron Paul. Obama and Huckabee--along with the rest of the Democrat and Republican contenders--are only more of the same. The same Nanny State, the same unconstitutional laws and regulations, the same advances toward global government, the same attacks against individual liberties, the same arrogance, the same hypocrisy, the same social programs, the same back-breaking taxes, the same jack-booted federal police tactics, the same IRS, the same lobbyists, and the same corrupt Washington politics. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That the Establishment would hate Ron Paul should not surprise us. It does not even surprise me that many pastors and Christians despise Ron Paul. (After all, many of them still worship at the altar of George W. Bush.) What is yet to be seen is, How will the American people receive him? His strong showing in Iowa surprised most of the "experts." I believe he will do even better in New Hampshire today. How Dr. Paul's campaign fares in future primaries is still to be seen. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should Ron Paul fail in his bid to become the Republican Party's Presidential nominee, I believe it is critically important that he continue his bid as a Third Party candidate. His campaign is more than a campaign--it is a movement. People by the thousands and money by the millions is pouring in, and it will continue to pour in all the way to the general election. It is essential that Ron Paul stays in the race all the way to November. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember, when Abraham Lincoln won in 1860, there were four strong Presidential candidates, and Lincoln won with just 39% of the popular vote. With New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seriously considering an independent bid for the White House, and if Ron Paul, likewise, runs as a Third Party candidate, 2008 could see another race with four strong Presidential contenders. In such a case, anything is possible--including a Ron Paul victory. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The fact is, Ron Paul does not need the support of the Establishment to win.

He commanded the USAF Air Combat Command [our front- line fighters and bombers]. The Command headquarters is at Langley AFB, VA. General Hawley is now retired and no longer required to be politically correct. His short speech is very much to the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following are excerpts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Since the attack [9-11], I have seen, heard, and read thoughts of such surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard them too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here they are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt; "We're not good, they're not evil, and everything is relative."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Listen carefully: We're good, they're evil, and nothing is relative. Say it with me now and free yourselves." You see, folks, saying "We're good” doesn’t mean, "We're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is the bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The plain fact is that our country has, with all our mistakes and blunders, always been and always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity, opportunity, and affection in history. If you need proof, open all the borders on Earth and see what happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt; "Violence only leads to more violence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads and hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence. Limp, panicky, half-measures lead to more violence. However, complete, fully thought-through, professional, well-executed violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not reeducated," not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead-D-E-A-D&lt;br /&gt;Well, you get the idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3&lt;/strong&gt; "The CIA and the rest of our intelligence community have failed us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the ground, and now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for not protecting us. Starting in the late seventies, under &lt;em&gt;Carter appointee Stansfield Turner&lt;/em&gt;, the giant brains who get these giant ideas decided that the best way to gather international intelligence was to use spy satellites. "After all, (they reasoned,) you can see a license plate from 200 miles away." This is very helpful if you've been attacked by a license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by humans. Finding humans is not possible with satellites. You have to use other humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we bought all our satellites, we fired all our humans, and here's the really stupid part. It takes years, decades to infiltrate new humans into the worst places of the world. You can't just have a guy who looks like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93 sweatshirt plop himself down in a coffee shop in Kabul and say "Hiya, boys. Gee, I sure would like to meet that bin Laden fella. "Well, you can, but all you'd be doing is giving the bad guys a story they'll be telling for years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4&lt;/strong&gt; "These people are poor and helpless, and that's why they're angry at us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh-huh, and Jeffrey Dahmer's frozen head collection was just a desperate cry for help. The terrorists and their backers are richer than Elton John and, ironically, a good deal less annoying. The poor helpless people, you see, are the villagers they tortured and murdered to stay in power. Mohammed Atta, one of the evil scumbags who steered those planes into the killing grounds is the son of a Cairo surgeon. But you knew this, too. In the sixties and seventies, all the pinheads marching against the war were upper-middle-class college kids who grabbed any cause they could think of to get out of their final papers and spend more time drinking. It's the same today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt; "Any profiling is racial profiling."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who's killing us here, the Norwegians? Just days after the attack, the New York Times had an article saying dozens of extended members of the gazillionaire bin Laden family living in America were afraid of reprisals and left in a huff, never to return to studying at Harvard and using too much Drakkar. I'm crushed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please come back. Let's all stop singing "We Are the World" for a minute and think practically. I don't want to be sitting on the floor in the back of a plane four seconds away from hitting Mt. Rushmore and turn, grinning, to the guy next to me to say, "Well, at least we didn't offend them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO HERE'S what I resolve for the New Year: Never to forget our murdered brothers and sisters. Never to let the relativists get away with their immoral thinking. After all, no matter what your daughter's political science professor says, we didn't start this. Have you seen that bumper sticker that says, "No More Hiroshima ’s"? I wish I had one that says, "&lt;strong&gt;No More Pearl Harbors&lt;/strong&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THIS NEEDS TO STAY IN CIRCULATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS IT ON!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-7812886792257425481?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/7812886792257425481/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=7812886792257425481' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/7812886792257425481'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/7812886792257425481'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2008/01/general-hawley-no-long-has-to-be.html' title='General Hawley - no longer has to be politically correct'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-6840623150438376867</id><published>2007-11-24T18:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-24T19:07:29.901-05:00</updated><title type='text'>FEDERAL ROBBERY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Fa_JypVq7a0/R0i8qSXJsQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/tiOdF4Nt8YM/s1600-h/alan_stang_hdr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136562809685520642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Fa_JypVq7a0/R0i8qSXJsQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/tiOdF4Nt8YM/s320/alan_stang_hdr.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Stang/alan16.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEWS WITH VIEWS - Alan Stang&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;by Alan Stang&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;November 24, 2007&lt;br /&gt;NewsWithViews.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By now you know that the administration of Communist world government terrorist Jorge W. Boosh recently conducted raids on the Liberty Dollar people in Indiana and on a mint in Idaho. The Liberty Dollar is – was – a gold or silver medallion, or a certificate backed by those precious metals, and the Boosh FBI conducted the raid because the corporations that control the Federal Reserve toilet tissue couldn’t stand the competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that the Federal Reserve System is illegal, because the Act that created it gives control of the nation’s money to those private entities, which Congress, under the Constitution, has no power to do. It is illegal for Congress to usurp power it does not have; it is just as illegal for Congress to give its power away. The paper “currency” the Fed issues is a fraud on its face, because it is not federal, there is no reserve and it is not a note. A note is a promise to pay, and the “Federal Reserve Note” promises to pay nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is nothing more than a piece of paper with fancy printing on it, and has exactly the same status as a hot check that local businesses accept only because they don’t know the bank hasn’t caught up with it yet. Gresham’s Law says bad money drives out good, but here the criminals recognized that good would drive out bad, because however dumbed down Americans are in the country’s Communist schools, they still understand that a chunk of gold or silver is more valuable than a piece of paper with numbers on it, the size of the palm of your hand, that is intrinsically good for only one thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thieves apparently stole not just a mountain of precious metals; they also stole all the records, all the files and computers, so the Liberty Dollar company has no way of knowing who owns what and cannot even communicate with the customers who have been robbed. Indeed, they even stole the telephone manuals, so the company cannot reformat the phones. Needless to say, they froze the company bank accounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s what happened in Indiana. In Idaho, they stole even more gold and silver from the mint that makes the Liberty Dollars, where Liberty Dollar customers store their holdings. The mint is an entirely separate business that Liberty Dollar does not own. What does that tell you about the safety of your “safe” deposit box? Wasn’t one of FDR’s “solutions” to the Fed’s Great Depression his theft of the people’s gold? Achtung! You are leaving der Western Sector!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they had finished, the company was out of business. The attitude of federal thieves who perpetrate such robberies is, “Yeah, maybe you’re right. Sue us.” Of course, with no funds that is difficult to do, especially when the defendant can print bigger numbers on more pieces of toilet tissue to pay his lawyers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Mint recently announced that Department of Justice prosecutors say the use of Liberty Dollar medallions “as circulating money is a federal crime.” The government says that people who buy them “should be aware that they are not genuine United States Mint bullion coins and they are not legal tender." Of course the Liberty Dollar people do not claim the medallions are any such thing. BTW, the word “coin” is apparently federal property. You and I are forbidden to use it about anything flat and round made of gold or silver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could the development that precipitated the robbery be the delivery just a few days earlier of almost two tons of Ron Paul Dollars? That works out to as many as 60,000 of them. Remember that Dr. No is the hero who wants to abolish the Fed. Throughout his twenty years in Congress he has argued for honest money. He is the only candidate for President in either party who addresses the subject. And, mirabile dictu, college students of all kinds are enraptured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, when I use the word “hero,” I am not talking about an entertainer who is paid millions of dollars a year to play a three-hour game every Sunday. I am talking about a man who risks everything, even his life, which I can assure you Dr. No is doing by daring to challenge the conspiracy for world government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine the effect had that mountain of Ron Paul Dollars been allowed to flow forth. Imagine people across the country using them as the medium of exchange to buy and sell, attractively designed, flat, round pieces of gold with the avuncular doctor’s face on every one. No presidential candidate has ever enjoyed such a campaign tool. The result would have been electrifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, the robbery fallout itself will inspire his campaign, but nowhere near as much as the Ron Paul Dollar would have in circulation. Again I ask, did that obvious fact precipitate the crime? Probably the last thing Communist world government terrorist Jorge W. Boosh wants would be President Ron Paul, demanding that Congress abolish the Federal Reserve and the income tax. The script next year calls for President Hillaroid and her bull dykes or Rudy in drag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man who created the Liberty Dollar and made it a very profitable business is Bernard von NotHaus. Federal prosecutors, the mob under bosses who send out the FBI thieves, are talking about mail fraud and other serious charges that could send von NotHaus to prison for many years. “We have no money,” says von NotHaus. “We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the uniformed crooks conduct such a raid, they take everything, which recalls the piece I did a while back about offshore financial planning. This is what I was talking about. In today’s world, in an America governed by rotating crime families that will do anything to preserve their monopoly, a company in a red flag business needs to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are in such a business, the first thing you need to do, at least, is make your doors as difficult to break in as possible. Many jewelers do that routinely, even keep their doors locked. You have to push a button and be eyeballed to get in. Of course you can’t keep the criminals out. The idea is to gain enough time to push the doomsday button, the big red one on your computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that Hillaroid may have the machine, and Edwards may have the hair and B. Hussein Obama may have the color and female impersonator Giuliani may have Pat Robertson, but Dr. No has both the Constitution and the geeks. The doomsday button will be installed by a Ron Paul real money computer geek, with instructions to redo your software so that, when you push the doomsday button, everything instantly goes down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the thieves boot up your stolen computers downtown, nothing is there but Firefox. Indeed, you should develop the habit of hitting the doomsday button routinely at the close of business daily, just in case the ghouls elect to come at night. Each morning, you insert the necessary drives and boot up. Yes, all this can be arranged easily. Any geek worthy of the name can do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are the nerds with Dr. No? Because they know he is the only candidate who is sure to leave the internet alone. Government terrorists would like to shut the net down; they developed it so the labyrinthine entrails of the federal leviathan could communicate with each other, but it got out of control. They would like to shut it down or restrict it to their own use, but they don’t know how. And they fear the nerds, who could unleash fearsome retaliation. If they could hack the DOD mainframe, they could get in anywhere. Thank God for the nerds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, remember that we are by no means trying to impede a federal investigation. Not at all. You will take these precautionary steps only because of the present crime wave, especially the epidemic of industrial espionage. If federal authorities accidentally become impeded, because they come unannounced and unidentified like common criminals and try to break in, then of course we regret the misunderstanding and the fact that all the data are gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government agents descended in this way many years ago on a national patriotic organization in Maryland. Because this apparently happened before the universal use of mobile phones, patriots had to fan out and surveil the approaches to the office, to head off the lady whose job it was to bring the data back every morning. They did find her in time, so the intruders got nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, a while back I did a piece on offshore financial planning. Find it in my archives – go to alanstang.com and click on Offshore Financial Planning at the right edge – read it, and reconsider taking action. Consider: the conspiracy for world dictatorship and its flunky, Communist world government terrorist Jorge W. Boosh, could not be displeased when you go offshore – indeed, they should logically be enthusiastic – because going offshore is their own policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn’t it? They have sent everything else offshore: your jobs, your manufacturing, your military, your technical support, etc. Don’t you find yourself again and again these days talking to someone in India or the Philippines or Central America? Shouldn’t they now be ecstatic if you get into the spirit and send your money offshore? After all, they constantly condemn “isolationists” – that’s you – people who simply want to mind their own business. They constantly urge “internationalism” instead. Okay, get international. Far be it from us to get crossways with Communist terrorist Boosh. There’s a “big world out there.” Go offshore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have never done it, be reassured. It isn’t nearly as forbidding as you may think. Start with a simple bank account. There are many banks in other countries as big and as sound as any in this country. Sounder. The Boosh administration is presently collapsing the dollar and preparing runs on U.S. banks, to create the usual “emergency” that would justify replacing the dollar with the “Amero,” the currency of the new North American Union that would include the former United States, Canada and Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, it was your Intrepid Correspondent who devised the best name for the new country, Canusexico, which not only includes the names of the three former countries, but also cleverly includes sex, without which you really have no hope of selling anything. (That is why the North American Union falls on its face.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, in my experience offshore banks treat me like a customer, not a drug trafficker. Their tellers are not trained by the federal government to expect “money laundering.” Of course, were I to start snorting white powder in the bank, they could become curious, but since I don’t do that, they don’t. Start your offshore adventure by finding a reliable adviser .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Reprinted with explicit permission from Mr. Alan Stang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-6840623150438376867?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/6840623150438376867/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=6840623150438376867' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/6840623150438376867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/6840623150438376867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/11/federal-robbery.html' title='FEDERAL ROBBERY'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_Fa_JypVq7a0/R0i8qSXJsQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/tiOdF4Nt8YM/s72-c/alan_stang_hdr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-8922506650709937253</id><published>2007-11-22T00:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-22T06:02:19.172-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The World Hates God - John 7:7</title><content type='html'>I so completely HATE the world. Why? The world is 100% sin yesterday, today and more tomorrow. All those headlines, storylines of bad news - the evil that is rampant across our Country. And this is on the internet. I mean, no wonder I don't watch any TV news (local or national) - that's right. None! Do I ever glance at FNC? Oh yeah, once in a while. I take a peek once in a while. On occasion I get a blessing and hear something I once thought would be indicative of this &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; new network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I completely love the Lord. There is no other choice. Either you love the world, hate the Lord; or hate the world and love the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matthew 6:24&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

America was founded by God-believing men and God-fearing men. With the help of their co-conspirators (news networks) the masses have been subtly brainwashed for years. Manipulation with distortion and outright lies for years over the television. A corrupt and cowardly Congress passing laws that our Founders would have thought unfathomable in such a promising new County, the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are witnessing the oppression spreading throughout our Country. Just a few examples: The 10 Commandments in stone removed, removal of visible tributes to the Lord (not the least location the now completely government run public schools) and denying Believing students the freedom to pray as they need it. A witness in Court, with his left hand on the Bible, swearing to the the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth period. The &lt;em&gt;'so help me Go&lt;/em&gt;d' now removed. And deliberately ignoring the Bible and welcoming the wicked and perverted souls who rejoice their freedom to be deep in unashamed evil sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legalizing murder of unborn babies from beginning to post 9 months. Legitimizing the unthinkable though spoken of clearly in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Romans 1&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Our Freedom of Speech is endangered, our born citizens rights are being watered down to something almost impossible to recognize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this continuing and growing oppression because they hate you or me? Or do they hate other believers, or people who love God or at least honestly fear Him? Or do they hate God? God tells us is his word as above. &lt;strong&gt;(John 7:7)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our rulers, in the midst of doing evil in the eyes of God, go forward declaring sodomoites and unnatural women as normal and just a lifestyle. This is one of the last BIGGEST BLOWS against God's Word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thanks to many denominations preaching those relationships as normal, these wicked people declare, in false bravatto, that Jesus accepts them and approves of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely Jesus died for them too. And yes, He did. But not in the way they think. They think all they have to do is believe Jesus died, sacrificing His life to give them a ticket to Heaven. To their minds they don't have to do anything. He did it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He died and shed His Godly blood so that people could repent and ask Jesus' forgiveness. But true to God's Word, hearts are hardened. And to help them along the devil has succeeded in rewriting God, editing God and having many books claiming to be the Bible. That's part of the deception in ecumenical-land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think they look at it sort of like Affirmative Action for Heaven. Well, I have bad news . . . no change that, God has bad news for them. That is &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; how it works. You can keep on believing it, that's your decision. But that's &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; what God says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you truly repent, you WILL change and the Holy Ghost will be with you guiding you. He does not push you to sin. His job is to let us know in special ways what we should or shouldn't do. Praise the Lord's salvation, once and for all, never ending. If you continue deep and unashamedly in your sin, you are definitely not indwelled with the Holy Ghost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know that, if you continue in your sin 100% &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; glory in it . . you are &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; saved. By claiming you believe in Jesus (difference from trusting in Jesus Christ) you are blaspheming Jesus. You are rejecting Him. You can believe in God till Kingdom Come. But you won't be in Heaven when you die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I John 2:16 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;¶ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can believe in Jesus, and believe what He did. But unless you repent, realize there is nothing you alone can do to get to Heaven then:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You need to recognize you are a sinner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Repent in your heart;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ask Jesus for forgiveness; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Trust in Him as your Saviour.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The immediate blessing is the indwelling by the Holy Ghost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;II Timothy 1:14 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your continuing wicked life is &lt;strong&gt;total opposite&lt;/strong&gt; of the Lord Jesus Christ. With true conversion you &lt;strong&gt;shed&lt;/strong&gt; your old nature and become a new person. This is not an option. This is a blessing. You change and always for the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 Corinthians 5:17&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is my opinion that emptying all the closets is one of the biggest blows against God's Word. And America is not far from fitting in with Globalism. Our once fine, moral and God-fearing nation is but almost barely a memory. What a shame!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know when the Lord Jesus will return and call up His flock. But only between now and then is there a chance to repent. It's a narrow road, but the only road available to Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Matthew 7:12,13 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-8922506650709937253?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/8922506650709937253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=8922506650709937253' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/8922506650709937253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/8922506650709937253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/11/okay-this-is-it-in-nutshell.html' title='The World Hates God - John 7:7'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-4669172593874666893</id><published>2007-11-17T20:12:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-17T20:41:25.907-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Horrible Day In The Neighborhood</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;As a preface I must say I was pulled into this article word after word after word.

Actually, you used to live in this very area, but events caused you to move away, and now you're back. It's a nice, albeit modest, not fancy or highbrow neighborhood, and you're looking forward to really settling in and getting to know your neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;But&lt;/span&gt; before you've even unpacked, you come to realize that your neighbors don't want you there. When they're unable to keep you from moving in, a violent zealot next door proclaims that he will never accept your presence, no matter what concessions you offer or what friendly overtures you make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Across&lt;/span&gt; the street lives a real fanatic, known to make and throw bombs, who declares he hopes your entire extended family moves in – because that "will save us the trouble of going after them wherever they are worldwide." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58745"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Pat Boone's Article in Full&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-4669172593874666893?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/4669172593874666893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=4669172593874666893' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/4669172593874666893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/4669172593874666893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/11/horrible-day-in-neighborhood.html' title='A Horrible Day In The Neighborhood'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-8451673484087598712</id><published>2007-11-10T22:43:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-26T12:09:14.442-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Kyle Hoffman 17, Gone to Heaven</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ed came up our stairs, knocked on the door, opened it and said, "Pray for Kyle Jr., he's been in a car accident. We think it's bad." Of course we would and he said, "Thanks." and headed back down to their apartment. This was around 11 pm. Sunday, October 28th. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I prayed and waited. Finally I came back here and played my favourite game. Words were going through my head at warp speed. Finally, the Lord let me know that I needed to get downstairs. Around 12:30 a.m. as I walked down our stairs, I heard sobbing. I went back up half-way and told my son, "They're crying." And back down, tapped and opened the door. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Next thing I knew Marie was sobbing. She said, "The Doctors don't expect him to live past 8 more hours." Oh my heart . . She held on and I hugged her and her body shook as she cried. Then I saw my son next me tapping my shoulder. Marie saw him and turned to him. I walked over to be near Bonnie. She was on the phone and I just patted her shoulder. She was concentrating on the phone and couldn't raise her head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;They were gathering everything and getting ready pack up in the van to head out to Harper's Ferry WV. Kyle (and Chris) had called to tell Bonnie &amp;amp; Ed and Marie the bad news about Kyle Jr. Kyle Jr., the brother of Marie. Kyle was in the hospital. The next thing they heard was that he would not recover and was given about 8 hours to live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Kyle is the second, and last, son to get into a vehicle accident. A brother he never knew, Joey, died almost 20 years ago. He was 6 or 7 and had exited his assigned school bus. I have no idea how long he waiting before he thought it was safe to cross.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;But he decided it was and as he started walking across the road, the school bus started moving. The driver later claim that Joey couldn't be seen. That may be true. But I can't vouch for it. I have been in a Semi. And in the truck you are very high and can see. But school buses are not that high. And so Joey's little body was run over by his school bus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;My guess is that the driver didn't check across the street or on the side of the door. All I know is that a lot of safety rules came as a result, according to Ed &amp;amp; Bonnie (Papa &amp;amp; Grammy).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;And that poor driver has to live with that day forever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;After Joey was killed, that left his only sister Marie, around 3. Then after Joey's death, a couple of years later, after a successful vasectomy reversal, Chris became pregnant with Kyle Jr. In the aftermath of the loss of their first son, both Chris and Kyle Sr. became Believers. And they rejoiced at the impending birth of their second son. He was born on April 15, 1990.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Kyle went into rebellion in mid-teens. But recently, he came back to the Lord for His fellowship. The Lord hadn't walked away, Kyle had. That is if he was saved before the rebellion . . If he got saved during his rebellion, then that started him changing, becoming a new creature.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I only know the family is positive Kyle was saved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #009900;"&gt;2 Corinthians 5:17&lt;/span&gt; &lt;i&gt;Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;KJAV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;And he fell in love with Andrea. She became pregnant and they both looked forward to the baby and he was taking it all very seriously.&lt;/span&gt; Their daughter is due around the end of January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;On Sunday night, Kyle was being driven home with his friend who had just bought a sports car. They live in WV which tends to be rather curvy with the mountains and all. Well the friend was really pushing the car and at 80 mph lost control heading into oncoming traffic. In a van was a driver who saw the car careening and swerved to avoid it. The van and car collided, but not directly head-on. The two passenger sides crunched together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;The driver of the sports car was killed instantly. Kyle was knocked unconscious (don't know the extent of other injuries). In the van was the driver, a &lt;i&gt;Pastor&lt;/i&gt;, his wife and 9 year old daughter. The Pastor's wife is still in the hospital but will recover. The Pastor and his daughter were treated and released.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Kyle was rushed to ICU. Whatever else the Doctors and Nurses had to do, I don't know. But he was unresponsive and the Doctors said he may last another 8 hours. His family was present when he went home to Heaven. And his Fiance' was there as well. She is due in January or February '08.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Again. We didn't want to believe it. But again the Lord takes another son. Oh the hurt of merely thinking about it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;But this time Dad reacted much different. The pain doesn't lesson a second time. But this time Kyle Sr. had Jesus to carry him and his wife. They have gone as Missionaries to Chile twice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #009900;"&gt;Philippians 4:17&lt;/span&gt; &lt;i&gt;And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;KJAV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I never met Kyle Jr. But I got to know him through Bonnie &amp;amp; Ed talking about him as we've become close friends. And I've met Kyle Sr. and Chris. And I know Marie very well. Her two children are Leah (3) and Dakota (2). And I know Tanya, Bonnie's daughter and Ed's step-daughter. But Bonnie &amp;amp; Ed both brought up Tanya. And Tanya's very special daughter, Angel. She is very smart, very much an only children close to her Mom.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;My son and I both shed tears and were so troubled. Then Marie called my son to let him know that Kyle Jr. had died. He told me when he came home from work Monday afternoon. I cried for I had so hoped for a miracle that was not meant to be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please remember something so special. Say "I love you." everytime your loved one is going out somewhere or you are. Say it to your husband, your wife, your son, your daughter, your Mother or your Father. You never know. That may be that last thing you tell them and that's wonderful.

Oh my . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I freely admit, the first thing I thought about are family pets. That's what gives me agonizing worry. But I am now seeing a story about people who wouldn't leave home without them. I know I wouldn't!! Humans will take care of each other, but animals are helpless. And the following story warms my heart and puts me more at ease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I know some pets and woods animals died. And that makes me sad. But it wasn't a total loss. But now there are stories about people who saved their pets with a concerted effort. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I send my love to those people and am sorry for the loss of their homes; but am so very happy their family and pets are safe.

Bluff, Doug, "Uncle" Pat, . . all have earned their way into my heart, and I ache as I no longer see the black and white Police Cars go back and forth. I now see the occasional white and green Police Car and my heart sinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(We've actually lost our independent Police Force. Some let go, some moving into the Town Police Force.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT &lt;b&gt;these three men&lt;/b&gt;, without my even realizing it, kept a special eye on my place while my son was gone. I had no idea at the time how much they liked my son and that they felt it important to make sure I was okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why is hurts not seeing them around now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The part-timers . . &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;all three are so special.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bluff loves the Village&lt;/b&gt; and lives just on the outskirts. He cares about the kids. He's dead serious about his job but he has a heart. He stopped by one day, on duty, to talk to my son. He was complaining about a little kid's piggy bank being robbed. He was upset. He works in the City and as a Detective in a nearby town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He became my hero when I found out, after the fact, what he did for me without my knowing it at the time. My son had to be away for a while. And at home, I am devout and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;soldout&lt;/span&gt; cat lover. But I had gone a bit overboard with the population. That happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But one of the girl teens that came to my home . . decided to take matters into her own hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She walked up to Bluff (sitting in the car) one day, a few months before my son returned and told him, yes &lt;b&gt;TOLD HIM&lt;/b&gt;, he &lt;b&gt;had &lt;/b&gt;to get rid of my cats. I just had too many she complained. She always has been a little snot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, his anger starting to rise said, "If you think I am going to make Mrs. L***** get rid of her cats while her son is gone, think again. Don't ever come up to me again and don't ask again. Go to hell." Well, I don't like the last words, but he was mad. And he cared about me and my family (I'm a widow . . it's me and my son.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did have too many and as it turned out before my son came home, I was down to 4. And that's how many I had when my son came home. We went down to one and then our Siamese arrive and it's a content twosome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the times when my son saw Bluff, after coming home . . Bluff told him what had happened. And he was glad I had reduced the population . . but I did it . . and that's the way it should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;b&gt;local caring part-timers&lt;/b&gt; really know the residents and care. Any Police Officer, let alone any man, who cares that much about my love of cats and knowing how heartbreaking it would be to be forced to lose them . . well he deserves to be called a HERO in my book. And so, Bluff will always have a very special spot in my heart. He's actually now a friend of my son. And that means a lot. His wife and him are very nice people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Uncle" Pat . . what a nice guy.&lt;/b&gt; He lives in the Village. And that is what the kids call him . . "Uncle" Pat. Two years ago he had a heart attack. My son came home almost in tears. But we prayed for him and waited for his return. It seemed like forever for the guys. He has returned and is doing very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He used to ride the Police Bike around the Village proper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was with my 'unofficial' second son one night in court. His Dad sat on the other side. I was only there for Jimmy. Uncle Pat came up to Jimmy and gave him suggestions about how he should stand and how he should talk to the Judge. He cares . . He knew how scared (and rightly so) Jimmy was and dried to calm him down. That's Uncle Pat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pat has another Police Job as well and a side job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Doug&lt;/b&gt; . . the only local Police Officer to give me a ticket. **laughing** . . for a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;STOP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; sign infraction. This was when we had just about just moved in to Angola. As he handed me the ticket, I had a tract in the shape of an admittance ticket. He asked what it was and I told him he could know for sure about going to Heaven. He thanked me and took it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the Lord's irony . . a ticket for a ticket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hadn't known him yet but I would eventually. He'd knock on the door looking for one of the boys to talk to him. I had the boy's club in my home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One night in particular the phone rang around 3 a.m. My son was away. Some kid, who had had some other guys over now was missing his wallet. And he called me why? Why was he yelling at me??? Because I was the only one (stupid enough) to answer the phone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long story short. He made lots of threats and then demanded I write down his number. (Now who is stupid?) I did, hung up and called the Police. Doug was on duty and arrived soon. After he asked, I explained what happened. When he asked if I had the phone number, he grinned when I told him the boy had demanded I write down his phone number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Doug called him. What did he do? He told the boy never to call Mrs. L***** again. And if he didn't obey he would personally come to his home and arrest him. I was sitting on the couch just grinning. I've given the short version. I could tell the kid was arguing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doug hung up the phone and with a smile (around 4 a.m. by then) asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you Mrs. L*****?" I just giggled and said, "No, I think you've taken care of it. Thank you." "No problem . ." And he left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He married a few months ago and lives in the Village. He is also an Erie County Sheriff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Epilogue:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so I am heartbroken . . I looked at my son today and sadly observed, "No Doug on duty today." He sighed and agreed. Bluff worked Sundays and Uncle Pat on Saturdays until Doug would come in for his shift. Three very special men who I will love and respect forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional note: Officer Bluff has since had 2 heart attacks. He's no longer on the Town Police Department. But he's doing well. He's a Detective in a nearby town.

The National Council of Churches (NCC) is praising absolute evil, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Is there a positive word to say about him? Perhaps that God loves him in spite of himself. Nonetheless, I think it is time the "religious Left" take off their clerical collars and come back to reality. They represent many people of faith and while many NCC leaders and participants are leaning very liberal, there are still good people in their churches who stick around to make a difference. They should protest with righteous indignation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very recently a delegation from the NCC praised Ahmadinejad as a pious person and a witty man. "He comes across as a very religious man," said their Associate General Secretary for Interfaith Relations. J. Daryl Byler, Director of the Mennonite Central Committee, Washington Office described Ahmadinejad as having a measured tone, sounding reasonable, and having a witty personality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Byler sent a letter to President Bush stating that he wished he would meet with the Iranian leader, calling Ahmadinejad "bright and engaging." Byler went on, "Like you, he is a religious man, Mr. President. I believe you would enjoy one another's company. Your conversation could signal a positive change in a relationship severed more than 25 years ago." Shades of Mike Wallace, I know, who thinks he's a man we can do business with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So just what are some of the characteristics this NCC outfit must admire:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* He sponsors some of the world's worst terror groups by giving them money, weapons, training, and spiritual justification.&lt;br /&gt;* He has harbored some of the world's worst terrorists, giving them shelter, protecting them from retaliation, including many from al-Qaida.&lt;br /&gt;* He has motivated many to kill innocent Americans, Israelis, and others in the most despicable means.&lt;br /&gt;* He kills Americans in Iraq by shipping arms, terrorists, and money to the war zone. He destabilizes the fragile Iraqi government, encourages the killing of Christians, Kurds, and Muslims who don't agree with him.&lt;br /&gt;* He leads a regime that has lied about its nuclear plans for years.&lt;br /&gt;* He cries "death to America" and says Israel should be wiped off the map. And, he denies the Holocaust even though he is trying to create another one.&lt;br /&gt;* He is a mad man driven by messianic visions and expectations. It is up to him--Mahmoud Ahmadinejad--to bring in the Muslim Mahdi messiah, and then it's really duck soup for the rest of the world. It would even be fatal to the National Council of Churches in spite of their acclaim of him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So do the National Council of Churches' reps think maybe he will convert to Christianity? Miracles still do happen. But Ahmadinejad believes all must convert to Islam starting with George W. Bush. But the NCC is among the crowd who thinks we can do business with a nuclear Iran, and we can all get along. If we treat the guy right, things will be fine. Remember, he is "very religious" just like the NCC. It doesn't matter that it's a different faith. It's more "religiosity."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NCC delegation included leaders from the &lt;em&gt;Mennonite, Quaker, United Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, and Catholic&lt;/em&gt; churches. I think they need to do a reality check. There are some outfits you don't do business with and this is one rogue regime that leads the pack. We are not dealing with a man with a full deck. Ahmadinejad's comments while on U.S. soil recently should have sent a message loud and clear to outfits like the NCC that holding hands with a man like this could lead to unbelievable consequences. Trusting his word could be fatal to nations, not just individuals. The entire Middle East could go up in flames. An oil crisis the likes of which no nation has yet seen could erupt, and Israel could be devastated by Iranian missiles at any time.&lt;br /&gt;But remember, Israel is just "the little Satan." When outfits like the National Council of Churches praise a guy who calls their own country "the great Satan," you know strong delusion is running amok.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest rather than doing a "Minnesota-nice" job on Ahmadinejad, the NCC reps share the gospel with him and tell him he needs a Savior, not a Mahdi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness..."(Isa. 5:20).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LIVE RADIO THIS WEEKEND: Dr. Robert Congdon returns with an update on the European Union and the North American Union.

I've just been wondering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Then Alan Stang joined the News With Views website and he writes some great articles. The article I read today, sadly, removes any hope I had about Reagan deserving the right to be called the best President we ever had in office.&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I just received the okay today, having emailed him earlier this morning, from Alan Stang to post in full any of his articles, giving him full credit and the link. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And for that I say, "Thank you, Sir."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so with thankfulness for the permission and sadness about what he reveals, here is today's column:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Stang/alan6.htm"&gt;http://www.newswithviews.com/Stang/alan6.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RONALD REAGAN &amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;DICK CHENEY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;by Alan Stang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;October 2,&lt;br /&gt;2007NewsWithViews.com &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Some readers of my new book – Not Holier Than Thou: How Queer Is Bush? – about the homosexual takeover of the Republicrud Party engineered by Communist world government traitor Jorge W. Boosh, have bridled at my characterization of Ronald Reagan as a “homosexualist.” They shudder at the section headed Dick’s Dykes, about the rampant lesbianism in the Cheney family. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A homosexualist is someone who may or may not be homosexual, and who vigorously works to advance homosexuality. In Not Holier, I show that Ronald Reagan became a Log Cabin Republican hero when he vigorously denounced the Briggs Initiative that would have prevented homosexuals from teaching in California government schools. Homosexuals are there today because of him. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Reagan’s rejection of Briggs inspired Republicrud homosexuals to create Log Cabin and they give an annual award in his name to a leading homosexualist. A recent winner of Log Cabin’s Ronald Reagan award was Der Arnold, the Governator, who first came to public attention when he posed nude for homosexual magazines. Investigators discovered homosexual rings operating in the Reagan campaign for governor and in the Reagan White House. And the Reagans – especially Nancy – have spent their lives in the company of homosexuals. Nancy appears to prefer their company. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who still worship at the shrine, here is more. It comes to us from Anthony Haden-Guest, writing in the Financial Times (August 4-5, 2007, p. 10, Life &amp;amp; Arts) about Paul Schrader’s new movie, “The Walker.” Haden-Guest says the inspiration for the film was Jerry Zipkin, who spent his time escorting mega-money women to social events because their husbands were too tired, too bored or too busy. Zipkin was perfect for the job because he was homosexual, so there was no fear of funny business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zipkin died in 1995. His obituary in the Economist said that during the Reagan era, “Zipkin had some claim to be considered the third most powerful person in the United States.” What? The third, right after President and Mrs. Reagan? More powerful than the Vice President, the Senate Majority Leader and David Rockefeller? How? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anthony Haden-Guest writes: “Not a day went by when Zipkin didn’t talk to Nancy Reagan. He spent the evening with the couple on the day Reagan was elected president and was rumoured to be a social gatekeeper at the White House.” So here’s another homosexual who talks to the First Lady every day; not only that, he also decides who gets to socialize with the President. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does such a man get that much clout? Yes, I know the Reagans came to us from Hollyweird, but the Hollyweird of their day was very different from ours. Leading men almost universally served in the military and got married to women. Yes, women! Hollyweird people thought homosexuality was as disgusting as we do. Nancy Reagan’s propensity to spend most of her adult life with homosexual men was bizarre even there. Ask yourself how many normal women you know who do that. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the Republicrud Party has been homosexual for many years. Jorge W. Boosh, our first “Latino” President, didn’t start the takeover, but he has advanced it substantially. Remember that in revealing all this I hold no brief for the Democruds, who are just as corrupt. I concentrate on the Republicruds because most Americans don’t know there isn’t any difference. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along these lines, another Republicrud homosexual I write about in Not Holier is Stephen Herbits, who has worked for Republicrud Presidents starting with Nixon. Mrs. Elaine Donnelly runs the Center for Military Readiness. She is as beautiful as she is brilliant. (See her web site, cmrlink.org.) She told John McCaslin of the Washington Times (August 10, 2007, p. A9): “For a number of years, Secretary Rumsfeld allowed Herbits, a well-known gay activist, to play a key role in selecting high-level policy-makers for the Department of Defense.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s right! A sodomite activist was running DOD personnel for years! In every organization, that is where infiltrating sodomite activists try to go. Why? Because in personnel they can metastasize, they can hire other sodomites. Could this explain the present mess in the Department of Defense? Could it help explain why Marine Corps General Peter Pace, Joint Chiefs Chairman, has been forced to step down for saying that homosexuality is wrong? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that sodomite infiltration of our government is what Jorge W. Boosh wants. How do we know that? We know it because Donny Rumsfeld’s job as Secretary of Defense was to implement Jorge’s policy. If Donny had been implementing some other policy Jorge didn’t want, Jorge had only to pick up the phone and Donny would have been gone. That’s exactly what happened to Boosh’s first Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O’Neill, who wouldn’t bend the knee, but in Donny’s case Boosh did not pick up the phone. A government controlled by queers is what Jorge wants. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now comes word that after forty years of working for Republicrud Presidents, homosexual Herbits has come out of the closet as campaign adviser, “liaison” and fund raiser for the wife of the man who raped that lady in Arkansas while he was Attorney General of the state. I can’t recall his name. Her election as President presumably would mean another eight years of intern knee prints on the Oval Office carpet, unless her husband is too decrepit to provide an intern with sex. It all depends on the meaning of “is.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jorge is presently working with Hillaroid on her campaign, to ensure a smooth transition to her presidency. Whoa! You say Jorge is working with Hillaroid? Yes, that’s what I said. But he’s a Republicrud. She’s a Democrud. Aren’t they supposed to be in competition? Yes, they are. But only the nation’s biggest boobs still believe that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Readers are also still wondering about Cheney. Is any more on the subject known about him than the fact that one of his daughters is a dyke and his wife is the author of a lesbian novel? Dick is a master at intimidating reporters. When someone dares to ask about the subject, he glowers and says, “Don’t go there.” And with the reflected light shining in their eyes from that bald pate, they don’t. Here is a report from the scene by someone from Wyoming who grew up with the Cheneys. I have edited it slightly to protect my source’s identity. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;. . . I ended up starting an ----------- retail store. In the course of the years of a retail operation I had a young man come into the store who was a salesman/announcer for the local TV station. I got to know him a bit and visited with him some.... his name was Pete Williams.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This name will tie into Dick Cheney as I go along and tells something about Cheney himself I think.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;When Cheney became congressman for Wyoming (at-large, at the time) he took a young man from Casper with him as his public relations/press agent (or whatever) with him to D.C. It was quite an accomplishment for Pete Williams being the local boy that he was.&lt;br /&gt;I do not remember how I found out about it but it was a surprise to us when we found out that he was a homo, and a bit surprising that Dick Cheney had chosen him. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;When Cheney moved on to become Sec. of Defense he took Pete Williams with him in the same position in the Defense Dept.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It was sometime after this that his fellow queers "Outed" him and it became very common knowledge in Wyoming about it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;---- and I were both concerned about it and the possible ramifications that it could have due to the sensitive position he held.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It really helped us crystallize our thinking and opinion of what kind of person that Dick Cheney was that he would knowingly promote a person like this along with his own career. We have often wondered about how it would/could jeopardize the security of the country, etc. and for what purpose that Cheney would be doing this....and knowingly doing so.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;First, I guess that he is a soulless person that is completely on the "make" for whatever he could aggrandize in this life.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hopefully you can fill in some blanks for us since we are from Wyoming and it is an ongoing question and concern for us. Even more so since ----‘s ------ was a classmate of his and Lynn’s and was also invited to a party to honor him when Bush picked him to be V.P. the first time. The Governor of Wyoming personally phoned all of his former classmates inviting them to the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a big deal in Wyoming because it was so small that it is hard to sneeze in one corner of the state and not have it known in the far corner very shortly. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that he has always been one of the "Golden Boys" that always had doors opened for him by the "the man behind the curtain."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;All of which proves again that these Republicrud big shots – from Reagan to the Bushes to Schwarzenegger to Cheney to Romney, etc. – are quite different in fact from the fictitious concoctions of the Communist press. Cheney for instance appears to be as staid as Uriah Heep (the Dickens character, not the band), even staider because he is so bald. He turns out to be an even bigger creep, for very different reasons than the complaints of the Far Left. Remember that the purpose of the present sodomite infestation is to corrupt the basis of our civilization, so that it will collapse and be replaced by world government. Were that to happen, the world government would utterly exterminate Organized Sodomy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-1869984987559810861?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/1869984987559810861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=1869984987559810861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/1869984987559810861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/1869984987559810861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/10/add-ronald-reagan-to-list-of-pro.html' title='Add Ronald Reagan To The List of Pro-Sodomites'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-3248669448362362238</id><published>2007-10-02T10:06:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-10-07T01:42:59.420-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Our Village Loses Independent Police Force</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;My heart is broken, it's official. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Our local Police Force is going to be gone shortly.

He is a hater of Israel, Believers, and an all around oppressive Dictator in Iran. He is exercising a right he &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;DOES NOT&lt;/span&gt; have in our country. And that is Freedom of Speech. He is a foreigner and one of the most devoted enemies to this country. And as such should not be given a platform to talk to anyone. But that won't stop him or those determined to hear him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The door was cracked open and a tiny white flag waved when he was extended the invitation to stop by Columbia University if he was in the neighbourhood. And there he is, talking to brainwashed college students. As rebellious as college students were in the 1960's, they never invited Ho Chi Minh to speak to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead Hanoi Jane entertained the North Vietnam troops, wore a flak helmet and sat smiling on top of one of their tanks. There she was sitting on a weapon used to kill fellow Americans. And I'm sure as she cuddled with the enemy, American soldiers were being wounded and/or killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if then was today, Ho Chi Minh would be welcomed and cheered as he spoke to a group of ignorant students. . . they've been spoon fed from Kindergarten through High School. And now the Socialist apple is being polished to enter the world after college. To make a difference . . to sell out America. That's if there is anything more to sell out after GW gets finished removing our borders by promoting the NAU.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;SPECIAL INVITE: Hey Osama BinLaden . . if you're not busy next month, would you consider visiting Columbia University.

This is the title of a much under-reported news story,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/a-953145~Bush_quietly_advising_Hillary_Clinton__top_Democrats.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;which appeared in The Examiner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;on September 24th. The Examiner opens the story by saying, "President Bush is quietly providing back-channel advice to Hillary Rodham Clinton, urging her to modulate her rhetoric so she can effectively prosecute the war in Iraq if elected president."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The story stems from an interview with White House Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten, for The Examiner's Senior White House correspondent Bill Sammon's new book, "The Evangelical President."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Examiner said "Bush wants enough continuity in his Iraq policy that 'even a Democratic president would be in a position to sustain a legitimate presence there.'" Bolten went on to say that "He [Bush] wants to create the conditions where a Democrat not only will have the leeway, but the obligation to see it [the war in Iraq] out."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bolten made it clear that Bush expects the war in Iraq to continue "[n]o matter who the president is, no matter what party . . ."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Examiner story also reported, "A senior White House official said the administration did not put much stock in pledges by Democratic presidential candidates to swiftly end the Iraq war if elected."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House official said, "They [the Democratic frontrunners] are being advised by smart people. We've got colleagues here on the staff who have good communications with some of the thinkers on that side. "And there is recognition by most of them that there has to be a long-term presence [in Iraq] by the United States . . ."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Examiner also quotes Vice President Dick Cheney as saying, "And I think we'll increasingly see a lot of emphasis on deciding who the next occupant of the Oval Office is going to be." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;As you read the above, did you not ask the question, "Why is this not a front page story in the mainstream media?" If the media truly wanted to do its job, this story would be page one in every major newspaper and the lead story on every television and radio network news show. But it's not. Why? Because the powers that control the mainstream media are the same ones who control the two major parties and they don't want the American people to know that the "fix" is already in. George W. Bush knows it; Hillary Clinton knows it; Dick Cheney knows it; the CFR knows it; Democrat and Republican insiders know it; and now you know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I have attempted to warn my readers that the Bushes and Clintons have been "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin382.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;best buds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" for years. My initial source for this report was someone who was among the Clintons' closest friends for much of his life. Whatever acrimony one may perceive to exist between the two families is purely for show. Democrats expect the Clintons to lambaste the Bushes. Republicans expect the Bushes to do the same thing to the Clintons. So they do. It is all political theater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that matter, Bill Sammon's new book promoting the idea that Bush is an "Evangelical President" is more political theater. Bush has simply hijacked the evangelical movement in order to push forward a globalist New World Order agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me, the Bushes and Clintons are friends, and have been for decades--at least since George H.W. Bush was President and Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas. At least since then--probably longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the connection between the Bushes and Clintons is much deeper than that. Both families are also part of the inside cabal of New World Order globalists. They share the same clubs, the same parties, and the same agenda. Why else do you think that when G.W. Bush became President he did not undo anything Bill Clinton had done? For the same reason that Hillary Clinton will not undo anything that G.W. Bush has done when she becomes President--and that includes the Iraq war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark it down: Hillary will keep U.S. troops in Iraq. She will also follow through with whatever other military plans Bush has already put in place. She will continue with Bush's push for the North American Union, amnesty for illegal aliens, and the NAFTA Superhighway. She will continue the Patriot Act, domestic surveillance, and even Bush's "enemy combatant" classification for American citizens. She will also do nothing to restore Posse Comitatus. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Those Democrats who really believe they are voting for "change" when they vote for Hillary next year are in for a rude awakening. They will awaken to the same reality that those who thought they were voting for change when they voted for Dubya have come to realize: it does not matter to a tinker's dam whether G.W. or Hillary is elected President. They are both marching to the same drummer. (Neither would it matter should Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, or John Edwards become President.) The "fix" is in. So much so that G.W. Bush is already privately counseling Hillary on what to do after she becomes President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to warn my readers of this connection as far back as 2002 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2002/cbarchive_20020913.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;see article&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;). I thought the set up would put Hillary in the White House in 2004, but obviously, my timing was off one election. 2008 is the year the global elite--with much help from both the Clinton and Bush machines--will put Hillary in the White House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is no accident, my friends, that there is no "top tier" contender in the GOP this year that is able to galvanize grassroots Republicans. Neither is it an accident that Bush's policies are increasingly unpopular, thus further alienating both the Republican and conservative base and the American people in general from the GOP ticket next year. Dubya is merely setting up a Hillary victory in much the same way that Daddy Bush set up a victory for Bill back in 1992. Make no mistake about it: Hillary Clinton is the "anointed" pick of her fellow elitists to become President of the United States in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, a wholesale political revolution could derail the plans of the elitist egomaniacs who control our country right now, but I don't believe the American people, and especially the pastors (who have the most power to accomplish this task), have the stomach for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way for the American people to thwart the plans of the international cabal currently calling the shots in Washington, D.C., and New York City is by a massive rejection of both major parties' prominent Presidential candidates. This would require wholesale support for independent-minded, non-elitist candidates such as Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, or Alan Keyes. Even better, a grassroots uprising of support for independent constitutionalists such as Jerome Corsi or Judge Roy Moore--on a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.constitutionparty.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Constitution Party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;ticket--would put the elitists in retreat for decades to come. However, I see little hope for such a revolution. (Then again, there was little hope for George Washington and the boys either.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, come November 2008, Hillary Clinton will be your President, and she will continue the same basic policies of one George W. Bush, who continued the same basic policies of one Bill Clinton, who continued the same basic policies of one George Herbert Walker Bush. One would think that eventually the American people would begin to catch on. Until they do, however, the "fix" is in. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-4442234664255936290?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/4442234664255936290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=4442234664255936290' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/4442234664255936290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/4442234664255936290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/09/shame-on-our-leaders.html' title='Shame on Our Leaders'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-5841495892479476779</id><published>2007-09-13T14:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-13T14:29:59.814-04:00</updated><title type='text'>IGNORE THAT MAN!

She has called Ronald Reagan an ‘air head,’ she has marched in pro-abortion rallies with Whoopi Goldberg, and her broadcasts have been infused with the presumption that liberals are on the side of the angels and that conservatives are somehow bad people.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;end quote&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;This has to be the ultimate in hypocrisy.

I am glad that every single solitary man or woman who serves the Muslim cause is going to hell. Yes I'm glad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched Ground Zero Search &amp; Recovery this morning. I didn't have time last night. We watched Zero Hour and afterward I fell asleep. Zero Hour was a more detailed show about Flight 11 which hit the North Tower setting off a day of infamy in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ground Zero Search &amp;amp; Recovery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the saddest, most moving story yet about that day.

Now, using never before seen footage taken by the searchers as they worked on and under Ground Zero--and as the medical examiners dealt with the remains they discovered--we learn what they all endured in order to bring comfort to grieving families. How they searched through the vast shifting piles of toxic rubble; how they dealt with the trauma of finding and retrieving the victims' bodies and how those remains were finally identified.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/quote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took some brave souls, who were there to find anyone they could, 45 minutes in areas to climb down and look around. For people who couldn't understand why it took so long to find people either alive or dead and intact . . a description was given of what happened when the towers collapsed . . each in about 15 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were either vapourized in the fire . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or, picture a giant blender. Throw in concrete, glass, metal and humans and turn it on. Not a nice way to put it, but that is what happened. I didn't make up the description.

This book is a must read!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Maybe I'm the only one who vaguely remembers a Willie Horton to-do back when Bush #1 ran against mini-Dukakis. But, for the sake that maybe someone else doesn't know all the details (like I didn't and almost wish I didn't know now), here they are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then Gov. Michael Dukakis, of the great liberal state of Massachusetts is a total and complete idiot, 'er make that a liberal. And he decided to embrace the Furlough Program for convicts. It was meant for lesser offenders and they were let out for one day or once in a while. And as long as they honour it, come back and they are being readied for release. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But was Dukakis happy with that? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;There is a man named Willie Horton. Willie Horton was arrested, convicted and jailed for &lt;strong&gt;1st Degree Murder&lt;/strong&gt;. He had robbed a convenience store. The clerk gave him all the money, but that wasn't enough for Horton. Joey Fournier, the 17 year old clerk, was grabbed behind the counter and stabbed nineteen times and then his mutilated body was stuffed into a garbage can. Because Gov. Dukakis &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hotly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; opposed Capital Punishment, Horton got a sentence of &lt;strong&gt;Life WITHOUT Parole&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But, the story goes on . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then Massachusetts Gov. Dukakis felt so sorry for these poor misunderstood criminals. Especially the murderers. He worried about their self-esteen. Horton was allowed furloughs 10 times. Never mind that he had been in trouble 11 times in jail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;And so on June 6, 1986 he was released on his 10th and 48 hours long furlough and never returned. He left Massachusetts and fled to Maryland.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;On April 3, 1987 he decided to break into a couple's home. When the man, Cliff Barnes, came home, Willie was waiting. He'd been there a while and apparently decided he was bored with just breaking and entering. Barnes was brutally attacked. He was dragged to the basement, tied up and bound and knifed in his torso for a few hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then this poor man's fiance' came home. Horton beat and raped her. All the while her fiance' was in the basement and could hear her screams and couldn't help her. Horton rested a while and a few hours later raped her again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Somehow, Barnes managed to escape and when Horton realized it, he left in Barnes' car. It took four homes before Barnes found someone to help him. Willie Horton led the Police on one of those patented chases. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;He was caught, arrested, tried, and convicted for what he had done. He received &lt;strong&gt;two life sentences and 85 years&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The smart Maryland Judge refused to let Horton go back to Massachusetts. He saw quite clearly how well the Massachusetts Furlough Program worked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The Massachusetts Supreme Court put their stamp of approval on the Furlough Program. But after what happened, the Massachusetts Legislaters passed a Bill that forbad people convicted of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;1st Degree Murder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; from being permitted a Furlough. Never mind the fact that Horton had been in jail with &lt;strong&gt;NO PAROLE&lt;/strong&gt;. It should have been clear he didn't qualify. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But that meant nothing to Dukakis.When the new legislation was passed, Dukakis vetoed it TWICE. Finally, political pressure was applied and he was forced to sign it while proclaiming he didn't agree with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;A link about it:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0158_Dukakis__Willie_Hort.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0158_Dukakis__Willie_Hort.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-1310757275905734544?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/1310757275905734544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=1310757275905734544' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/1310757275905734544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/1310757275905734544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/08/willie-horton-revisited.html' title='Willie Horton Revisited'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-548412240213805488</id><published>2007-08-16T11:54:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-16T13:09:23.782-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Our Local Villages Are In Danger of Being Lost</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;August 16, 2007&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I live in a small village with a population around 2200 people. Our village is Angola and we are within the Town of Evans. I love it here, my son and I just started our thirteenth year. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A couple of years back a local business owner (tow truck company) started circulating petitions. He told people it was about the Village's finances. He successfully collected enough signatures to go a step further. However, when signed petitions were presented, it was discovered he had lied about their intent. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He was, in fact, trying to dissolve the independence of the Village of Angola and have us come under the auspices of the Town of Evans. When that was discovered, the man became outraged. Why, he hadn't done anything wrong! He was misunderstood! The people who signed it just didn't understand. Sound familiar? Sounds like the U.S. Congress doesn't it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, thankfully, after he had the gall to take it to Court, they saw through his deception and struck the petition down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A week ago Sunday I was reading online at our local liberal rag called the Buffalo News. They used to call me about a subscription and I delighted in telling them if I wanted to read their paper I could read for free online. After a few times, the calls stopped.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I check there every once in a while under the 'Southtowns' page to see what's going on. Usually we're pretty much ignored as they consider the news more worthy from the Northern and Eastern section of Western NY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then something jumped right out at me:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/southernsuburbs/story/133296.html"&gt;http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/southernsuburbs/story/133296.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANGOLA Village sets hearing on police merger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Elmer Ploetz NEWS STAFF REPORTER&lt;br /&gt;Updated: 08/03/07 7:18 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Angola residents will get a look next week at what abolishing their police department could mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The village will conduct a public hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday in Village Hall where officials will lay out the details on what is expected to happen if the police department is dropped and the Town of Evans takes over police protection in the village.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’ll be presenting all the numbers,” said Angola Mayor Howard “Hub” Frawley, “the savings, the increase of the town tax for village residents, and everything else related to the police.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The village’s police force costs about $350,000 a year right now, with three full-time officers, 11 part-timers and a part-time chief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if the village opts to keep its police, the department will require a full-time chief, and that could add about 15 percent — or $200 in village taxes for a house assessed at $100,000 — to its costs, said Evans Supervisor Robert Catalino II.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Town officials have been working with those from the village on the plan but have remained somewhat quiet. It’s up to the village to decide if it wants to keep its police force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the village abolishes or suspends its police force, the town would be required to supply police coverage. If the department is suspended, it would make it easier to reconstitute a force if the village decided to later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frawley said two of the keys for the deal to work are “24-7” round-the- clock coverage of the village by at least one police car and the acceptance of the three full-time Angola officers into the town’s police department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have to make sure our residents are protected,” Frawley said. “We have that right now with a police department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If we merge, that’s what we need from the Town of Evans. Otherwise, if we don’t get a police car 24-7, it’s not worth making the move.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Town officials said they’ve made “good faith” commitments to meet the village’s needs.&lt;br /&gt;“The town has said we would take their three full-time officers,” said Councilwoman Karen Erickson, “and the town would have to create a village zone, because now we would have an additional concentrated coverage of 2,000-plus people.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The village population is about 2,300. The town, with a population of 17,000 (including Angola), has a police force of about 20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Thursday’s hearing, the Village Board could decide to vote on whether the police force should be disbanded. Or the board could opt to do nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there is a vote for disbanding, any resident who disagrees would have 30 days to gather enough signatures to force a “permissive referendum” on whether the dissolution should be allowed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I saw &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;RED&lt;/span&gt;! It has been rumoured for a few years that this action was desired by the councilmen, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; by the people. And sadly, I misread the date of the meeting and missed it. I thought it was this week. I called the Town Hall and spoke to a nice lady who told me no action had been taken. They just wanted to hear from people. I'm so mad at myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However, she then told me there is a Board Meeting on Monday, the 20th at 7:30 pm. I plan on being there and plan on having my say. I know almost every Police Officer in our Village. Most on a first name basis . . by their permission, not by my decision. Many have come to my aid . . .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My son is good friends with most of them. And one is especially a hero to me. Sometime I'll explain why.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Like most every day, I was back here on the computer. I kept hearing noises in my back hall. I thought it was our neighbour who lived in the apartment behind ours. And for about an hour, on and off, I heard a noises (including coughing) and finally investigated. There was a stranger sitting there. He had made friends with our neighbour, was invited over and our neighbour never arrived. He was weird anyway and has moved out.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, being a Believer, I inquired about why he was there and that's when I heard the above story. He asked if he could use my phone and why not? My son wasn't home and I admit to being a little scared. But I kept praying silently for the Lord to protect me. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We sat and talked for a while and finally I was getting more uncomfortable. I called my neighbours downstairs. Ed &amp; Bonnie are great people and I knew I could count on Ed if I was in danger (or otherwise for that matter). We walked downstairs, explained as best as I could. The young man sat with Ed and I sat at the dining room table with Bonnie.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No matter what, we couldn't seem to help him. He was stranded. Our neighbour had taken the last of his money and he lived an hour and a half away in Erie, PA. Ed tried getting a hold of some money for gas as he would drive him home. Ed's like that. But absolutely nothing but dead-ends.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then the stranger went to his personal belongings and came back with a case. In it was a plastic gun. He put it together and took it apart. Ed saw my concern and reassured me it was not a real weapon. But by then, I was was truly worried.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finally, I called the Police. And one of our great locals came and took over. I felt so relieved. He asked the stranger a few questions and I caught a lie and blurted it out. The Officer looked at me and I shut up. **laughing** The Officer informed the young man to get his gear, that he was leaving. The young man said he had nowhere to go. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, the Officer remained firm. He informed him that he would not stay with us. That we did not know him. I have never felt so relieved. He was escorted to his gear and I looked out the window and saw backup arrive. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They frisked him, checked his gear and dropped him off at the Rest Station off the Thruway. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phew . . . safe. There have been a couple of other times when I or my son have been threatened. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'll share just one more. About 3 years ago my phone rang around 3 a.m. My son wasn't home. I answered and there was an angry young man on the phone. Some of my son's friends had been to his home and they'd been wrestling and now he couldn't find his wallet. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I asked him why was he yelling at me? I couldn't do anything about it. He said, "You are the only one who answered." Dumb me, huh? He ranted and raved and threatened to call the Police and have them come to my house and search for the wallet. I mean this kid was really off. Then he demanded I take his phone number down. **laughing** I obliged him and hung up. I called the Police.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, another of my good buddies arrived. I invited him in. He asked, "How can I help you?" I smiled and explained the story. He asked if I had the guy's phone number. He smiled when I said the guy had INSISTED I write it down. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Officer called the guy and introduced himself. He said, "I want you to know that you must not call Mrs. L***** again. Stop threatening her. **pause** Listen to me. If you call her back again, she will let me know. I will then personally come to your home and arrest you. Do you understand?" &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By this time I was smiling and relaxed. He hung up and smiled. He asked "Is there anything more I can do for you?" "No, you've done enough." I inquired though if he thought this guy might arrive on my doorstep. Apparently he knew of the kid and said, "He's not smart enough to think of that." I burst out laughing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, the bottom line? I don't need to have any new Police Officers. None of us in the Village need it. We have a fine force of great men who Serve &amp;amp; Protect Angola, NY.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;By Pam Lamker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-548412240213805488?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/548412240213805488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=548412240213805488' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/548412240213805488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/548412240213805488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/08/our-local-villages-are-in-danger-of.html' title='Our Local Villages Are In Danger of Being Lost'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-1758350094529505117</id><published>2007-08-16T11:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-16T11:53:27.291-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Willowcreek Church and Jimmy Carter</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This article should give goosebumps &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;to Believers and Conservatives alike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;August 15 - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Willowcreek Church and Jimmy Carter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in favor of church growth and mega-churches, IF the church growth is built on &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;solid gospel preaching&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;telling the truth&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;exposing error&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;protecting the sheep from the false teaching that now abounds&lt;/span&gt;. Such mega-churches do exist today though some critics will say they are ALL employing marketing gimmicks that are questionable. I agree, some marketing tactics are not particularly healthy. I don't agree that all mega-churches should be suspect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big leader in the church-growth movement is Willowcreek Church under the leadership of Pastor Bill Hybels. August 9 to 11 they had their annual Leadership Summit at their church. There were 80,000 in attendance, and the program was beamed into 176 sites via audiovisual technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This event troubles me and here's why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the guests was former President Jimmy Carter. On the Willowcreek Web site it states, "Jimmy Carter has done more since retiring from the office of president than most people accomplish in a lifetime. The author of more than 20 books is recognized worldwide for his leading work in conflict resolution, diplomacy, and humanitarian work."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conflict resolution? Hasn't Carter roamed the world bad-mouthing America and standing up for dictators? And what diplomacy? It has not been pro-American! His "diplomacy" when president was to let the Shah of Iran fall and welcome in the war on terror via the Ayatollah Khoumeini in 1979. He then bungled the rescue attempt of our hostages because he would not consult with Israel and get their advice on landing American helicopters in the Iranian desert. He so weakened our economy that only Ronald Reagan could pull the country back together. Those are elements of his "legacy" and diplomacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Willowcreek Web site then goes on to list Carter's prominent books, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;but they leave off his outrageous book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid." Shortly after the book was released some months ago, twenty staff members of the Carter Center resigned acknowledging that the book was full of fiction and lies. Additionally, it is bitterly &lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;anti-Semitic&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) ran a full-page ad in the New York Times itemizing the errors and refuting them. They called on Simon and Schuster to correct the false claims in the book. But because of space limitations and the sheer numbers of errors in Carter's book, those ads could only highlight a fraction of Carter's falsehoods. Some of the fact and fiction is outlined by CAMERA at this link: &lt;a href="http://camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&amp;x_outlet=118&amp;amp;x_article=1273" target="_blank"&gt;http://camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&amp;x_outlet=118&amp;amp;x_article=1273&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the greater question is what possible spiritual input and spiritual growth could have been imparted by Jimmy Carter? If any of you heard the presentation live or via the TV feed, let me know. If church annual conferences are to feature men and women who cannot contribute to church spiritual growth, then I say they are a total failure. I don't need to attend an annual church conference featuring Carter and Colin Powell. They are not going to teach me how to live a victorious Christian life in an evil and fear-filled world. They are not going to help me better understand my Bible. They are not going to inspire me to share my faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if these aren't the missions of the church, what are? It surely isn't "Carter diplomacy." And the bottom line is that you and I must be a shining light for the truth in these troublesome church times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RADIO THIS WEEKEND: Talk show host Ingrid Schlueter, author Brian Flynn, and I will discuss some of the continuing deceptions that rage in our churches causing many to abandon the church in utter frustration. This is the most-frequent e-mail I get from around the world: "Do you know of a good church in my town?" God isn't finished with the church but during this time of the great falling away, it seems our churches are the first to fall when they should be a haven of refuge and protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We air live out of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN on AM980 KKMS, Saturdays, 9 to 11 AM CST with a complete rebroadcast Sunday, 12 to 2 PM.

Because He tells us to . . .Not good enough? Why thank Him when something bad happens? Because He tells us to . . He says everything, good and bad. We can all think of sad or bad things in our life. But what about when you wake up this morning to a beautifully sunny day? The trees are now fully in bloom. The birds sing. The squirrels jump from tree to ground, run and up a tree again. It's easy then. The hard, sad or bad times? Well, believe it or not, once we thank Him for it . . . peace begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time any of us had something bad, sad or hard happen, it helps to remember what Jesus did to get to the point of dying on the cross and shedding His blood for our sins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;born of a virgin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;born in the line of Adam&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;gathered His disciples &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;taught them &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;taught 1,000's of people at a time&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;healed people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;betrayed for money&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;arrested, beaten, tortured&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;falsely charged &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;presented in public covered in blood, barely clothed and mocked&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;watched as the crowd demanded His crucifixtion while demanding a murderer be set free&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our Lord Jesus humbled himself and came to earth for every one of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jesus had to carry the cross what He died upon.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;His body so beaten and weak&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He fell to His knees under the weight&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A man named Simon, a Cyrene, was chosen to carry the cross to Golgotha&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;His robe removed, feet and hands nailed to the wooden cross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cruelty continued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;His cross was lowered into place, making it difficult to breath.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;With His hands nailed, if He wanted to breathe, He had to push up His body with pained arms and feet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He was naked, His garment having been torn off.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He was mocked.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He spoke to His Holy Father and asked His forgiveness for these people because they did not understand.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Soldier's gambled at His feet for parts of his torn off garmet;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He took time to make sure Mary, His Mother, would be taken care of . . John was given the responsibility.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religious men mocked Him.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;At the height of His pain, felt in His human body, He called out to our Lord God.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;He was athirst and they gave Him vinegar put on hyssop, a woody plant, to drink.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Knowing His ministry on Earth was over, in submission He gave up the ghost and died.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And His torture didn't end then, at least not to His body.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To prove scripture, when the you died, the soldiers did not break your legs. (Psalm 34:20) But they put a spear in His side with blood and water coming out.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And why? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John 3:16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;I truly can't speak for you, but these are but just some of the reasons I believe we should thank Him for everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Matthew 27:1-56, Luke 23:18-27, John 19:12-30, Psalm 34:20 KJAV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#f4f4f4;"&gt;Matthew 27:1-56 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#f4f4f4;"&gt;Luke 23:18-27 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#f4f4f4;"&gt;John 19:12-30 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#f4f4f4;"&gt;Psalm 34:20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-4901078366450908444?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/4901078366450908444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=4901078366450908444' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/4901078366450908444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/4901078366450908444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/06/give-thanks-in-all-things.html' title='Give Thanks In All Things'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-3824541928216939718</id><published>2007-06-23T16:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-06-23T18:10:46.861-04:00</updated><title type='text'>U.S.A.

Evil is evil . . good is good no matter what those active in the Devil's playground say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pictorial of 'proud' queers and lesbians at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://cbs5.com/slideshows/photoalbum_slideshow_311103947/view?slide=0"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;http://cbs5.com/slideshows/photoalbum_slideshow_311103947/view?slide=0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is titled "It Is In To Be Out"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The likes of "Neal Patrick Harris, Rosie O'Donnell, Lance Bass, Ellen Degeneres, k, d. lang , RuPaul, and more going back to Tab Hunter, Richard Chamberlain" Billy Bean, former MLB player who now complains of homophobia in the sports world. Oh, there it is again. While bragging that he's queer, at the same time he says we're not allowed to dislike it. Yeah, where is that written? We mustn't forget about former U.S. Olympic Diver Greg Louganis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for all my fellow Star Trek fans, there's George Tekei. I always wondered what there was about him that I didn't like. Now I know. My fellow Law &amp; Order fans . . beware. There is one of them among the crews. B.D. Wong. Remember him? Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the above link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Actor B.D. Wong, known for his role as Dr. George Huang on "Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU," hired a woman to mother a child for him and his partner. In 2000, the woman gave birth to twins from an ovum taken from his partner's sister. Wong journaled his experiences in the book Following Foo: the Electronic Adventures of the Chestnut Man. (AP)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about this . . His partner's SISTER gave the ovum to another woman to have a pregnancy for these two queers. Does this not mean that the partner is raising his own nephew as his son ? Now how messed up is that? And what in the world was the sister thinking? Another source says they 'welcomed' their son Jackson Foo Wong in 2000. If true about the twins . . they only took one. Talk about adding cruelty to wickedness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://imdb.com/name/nm0000703/bio"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://imdb.com/name/nm0000703/bio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's in now to be upfront and 'proud' of being a pervert. First you find some apologetics who are willing to change the words in the Bible. After all, we wouldn't want people to see exactly what they are called. It's too graphic. The men are SODOMITES ! ! And the women are UNNATURAL. But these apologists changed it to male prostitutes. These apologists ignored the Lord's word about changing anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Revelation 22:18&lt;/span&gt; ¶ &lt;em&gt;For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Revelation 22:19&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt; KJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The abominable men:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt; Kings 14:24&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;I Kings 15:12&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;I Kings 22:46&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;II Kings 23: 7&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;KJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the abominable women:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Romans 1:25&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.&lt;/em&gt; Romans 1:26 &lt;em&gt;For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;KJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you say sodomite . . it regrettably brings to mind sodomy. Hmmm . . I wonder why? They are NOT gay (Oh I'm so happy I might die of AIDS!). Gay means happy and carefree. I'm angry that they have kidnapped that word to describe themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queer means mentally unstable or deranged. I'd say that comes pretty close. Of course if you say Queer you're being rude according to the apologists. It also means unmanly or effeminate. Tell me when it is manly for a man to kiss another man?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Effeminate? Let me tell a couple of short stories. I was hospitalized early Jan. 05. On the evening of my 2 day there a male came in and offered to rub my back and wash it down. He was soooo obviously queer/effeminate. He came in with the limp wrists, lispy voice and femalelike tone. I thought, "Why not?" It was the best rub down I've had. When he was finishing up he heard someone call him. "I'll be right THERRRRE." Just picture Richard Simmons. Instead of walking, he kind of walked fast. And years ago I worked for a vocational school for High School students. One of the Cosmotology teachers was a queer. We had side benefits of things such as having our cars worked on, food cooked, hair cuts and sets etc. He gave me the only haircut I have ever liked after a hairdresser was done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, was the backrub/washdown good because he was queer? Was the haircut the best because he was queer? NO! These two sad individuals had that talent . . mattered not that they have chosen a wicked lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh how I wish we had more backbone in this country. I even hear dear fellow Conservative friends say they don't care as long as they don't push their agenda on us. Well, I do care. I can't just let it roll off my back at what they do behind closed doors. It is disgusting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Like others, I just wish the BIG ONE would hit San Francisco . . THE queer franchise of the Nation. But I have to remind my friends and myself that when God demolished the original Sodom and Gomorrah, some cities around them were destroyed as well. And San Francisco is the first franchise. Addition places have their names listed as well included the rain deluged New Orleans and Fire Island (Long Island, NY)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/sayswamp/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.geocities.com/sayswamp/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Lavender Color: Origins in Sayville (Gayville)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The color of Sayville is purple with gold trim. Fire Island became the world centre of gays because before WW2, Sayville was the largest resort in the country and full of summer theaters, and because of the south sun, a movie making area with plenty of actors and stage crews. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A reminder, God didn't just destroy Sodom and Gomorrah:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Deuteronomy 29:23&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Sodom,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim&lt;/span&gt;, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;KJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;And I just hope, but I doubt it, that many will turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as their Saviour and change their wicked ways. For those who call themselves Christian, and then state it is alright to be a Sodomite or Lesbian . . that you can be that way and have Jesus as your Saviour. . . well let me tell you. They have obviously never read God's Word and/or are not saved themselves. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Written: June 23, 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-3824541928216939718?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/3824541928216939718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=3824541928216939718' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/3824541928216939718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/3824541928216939718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/06/usa-sodom-and-gomorrah.html' title='U.S.A.

The Boy's Club is not as active. Most are getting on with their lives, one way or another. Then the girls started arriving. Each one has had to face difficulties and gone through rebellion . . I am fascinated by biographies or autobiographies.

But he is not holding up the standards of being a Marine nor a husband. She takes care of their two daughters while he is down South, living off base with a married woman. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;egan had hoped for a reunion. Roughly 16 months ago her husband was up for a visit. That is why they now have two daughters. Toni is 2 and Kaylyn is almost 7 mos. old. Her husband went back down South and left Megan on her own again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;he finally contacted his Captain (or whatever title) and laid out her complaints. The final blow was when just a few weeks ago her husband refused to send her money to get their two year old's needed medicines. Megan had put up with a lot, but this was the final straw.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;er husband has to move back on base (as of July) and live in the barracks. Money from his income will automatically go to Megan and the girls. It's not much, but it's better than not knowing if you get any and no more begging. If he didn't agree to it, he'd be thrown in the Brig. And she'd still get the money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;'m glad the Marines stood by their standards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I &lt;/span&gt;started to get to know Megan better a little over 2 years ago. She was toying with being a lesbian. She and her 'friend' came here one day and I saw the snuggling, I went into another room with my son. I made it clear, in no uncertain terms, she was to &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;STOP&lt;/span&gt; that here in my home, or leave! If he didn't say anything, I would. "No Mom. I'll say something." He knew I was serious. And he must have because the only other time they came here together was to show me Toni . . a mere newborn. This time Megan was preoccupied with her baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;'m not sure if she got married before or just after she found out she was pregnant. (This ties in with my first blog . . &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;abortion was not an option&lt;/span&gt;.) I do know her 'husband' was back on base and nowhere to be found when she had Toni (Antoinette). My son is 'Uncle Paulie' to Toni. And when it was time for Megan to go to the hospital to bring Kaylyn into the world, he drove her.&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;egan stayed here recently for about a month. I won't go into the why for now. But for reasons beyond her control, her Mom and they had to move out from where they were living. Grandma &amp;amp; Toni moved in with Grandma's parents. Megan, who had a boyfriend, moved into his Mom's home with the baby. And both residences are trailers. It is a nice looking park though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;his was how we gained a Guinea Pig named "Baby". He belonged to her Mom. But her Mom had nowhere for him to live now and Baby desperately needed a home. My initial reaction was no. But my son begged me. I had no idea how much he loved him. And now he's officially part of our family. And he and the cats get along just fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;ne night Megan called. Her boyfriend had grabbed Kaylyn out of the car very roughly. And Megan got very upset. In his Mom's presence, the boyfriend hit her while she was holding the baby. There was pushing and shoving and when she tried to call the Police, on HER PHONE, his Mom grabbed the phone out of her hand by her ear and hurt her. They called the Police. My son and our friend Ed downstairs flew over to help in any way they could. When they got there, the Police were there already. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;egan came here to be safe. The next day she went to the Police Station and filed a report. She showed them her bruises. There is a Restraining Order active on him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;This was not going to be a vacation for Megan however. I was offering her and her baby shelter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I &lt;/span&gt;had to lay down some rules. I am disabled and in no condition to take care of children. I was not going to be a babysitter. We had some rough patches. She didn't like it when I woke her at 9:30 a.m. to take care of her baby in the morning. One night, unknown to me, she fell asleep on the porch . . . .I found out because some noise woke me. She had switched kids and her 2 year old was here. I got up and opened the door of her room. There was Toni with Buddy, our sweet new addition to our cat family. She started to get up, but I quietly told her to stay there. I would get her Mommy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I &lt;/span&gt;couldn't find her though and I started to panic. I opened my front door and called out and no answer. I came back in and looked around. No Megan . . Finally I went out into the front hall and carefully, so as not to fall down, made my way to our porch. (We live upstairs and our light was broken.) She was sleeping in a chair holding her phone . It took some doing, but I finally woke her up and made her stand up. Of course she had to have that cigarette, but then she came in and went in to the room with her daughter. That child was awake at 2 a.m. Praise the Lord I woke up. At that age, a two year old can get very inquisitive. She knows how to open the door and she could have walked right out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;nother time Megan had a candle lit in her room. And she was falling asleep. I was making one of my nightly trip's to the bathroom and saw it next to her while she was on the computer. I was going to say something when I came out but she was then in her room. I could smell the fragrance of the candle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;he fought my request to blow it out. "I can't see the baby." she complained. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;Before someone bought her a nice bed (like a playpen kinda) for Kaylyn, Kaylyn was sharing the bed with Mom. I said, "You don't need to see her. It's a fire hazard. Turn on the light." The overhead light in that room is a dull light. Finally she said, "Fine!" And she blew it out. I thanked her. Another night I was looking for her . . . I never slept a sound night. She was in the hall, in a chair, wrapped in a blanket. In her hand was a cigarette, by the blanket, which had thankfully gone out. I just about flipped. "Nothing happened. The cigarette went out." she tried to explain. She came in the house after a cigarette and went to bed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;hat has happened to common sense?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;ne morning I was up before them. I had been on the porch enjoying the very warm morning. When I came back in, I was sitting on the edge of my bed. I heard them get up. Megan put the baby in the walker and said, "Ma, I'm going on the porch for a cigarette." I said, "Take her with you. It's beautiful out there. She can't move the walker yet." "But I'm just having a cigarette." I said, "Megan, take her out. Let her have some fresh morning air too." "FINE! I'll take her." she pouted and the baby enjoyed the morning air with her Mom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I &lt;/span&gt;had to have a sitdown with her. Confrontation is NOT my first choice in life. I finally had a chance to let her know how upset she'd made me. She apologized and never gave me an ounce of trouble after that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;nd at the time my son had a job that started at 6 a.m. So he had to get to sleep early and up early . . around 4:45 a.m. He has slept on the couch for months, ever since he stretched 3 of 4 ligaments in his left leg. Sometimes she'd be gone for a couple of days (staying with her Mom) and arrive back here around 11 p.m. My son would just be falling asleep and she'd arrive barking orders to him to help her. He finally had to tell her to stop bugging him. He needed to sleep. I wasn't going to say anything. It was up to him. I could have, but didn't. Not yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;ecently, when she was gone, I did call her. I asked my son first. He's 24 and I was calling on his behalf. He said, "No problem." I wanted to know if she was coming back that night. And if she was, come early so as to let Paul fall asleep later. He'd had a very difficult day and needed uninterrupted sleep. She let me know she was coming back the next day. But she didn't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;If I sound like a meanie, I'm really not. When my son was 10 weeks old his Dad, my husband, died very much unexpectedly. There I was, at the age of 36 with total care of the baby on my shoulders. This was my one and only offspring. Hard as it may be to believe, I had no experience with babies. I never babysat! When I was way younger, I was uncomfortable around babies and wanted nothing to do with them. All that changed as Jesus became my Saviour and I was blessed with a child.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;do know what it's like to be a Mom 24/7 alone and as a widow. I haven't a single complaint. It wasn't easy. It was hard many times. And I had very little relief. But God had given him to me and I took the job seriously and lovingly. And with HIM to guide me . . I now look back and wonder at how fast the 24 years has passed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;U&lt;/span&gt;p until living with us . . Megan was pretty much able to leave the kids with her Mom and have quite a bit of free time. I was not going to take up the slack. I couldn't take it up. Physically, I can't hold anything upwards of 15-20 pounds very long. I can't walk very well. So all I could offer was shelter and food. And that is what she got. I love her dearly. I love her kids. I also love my privacy. But when they were here . . I didn't have as much. But I could live with that. And I did . . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;ecently, Megan was gone for almost two weeks. That was when I called that one night. She doesn't have to call and explain to me why she's gone. I'm not her keeper. But then just 4 days ago, last Saturday she showed up with Toni in tow. Toni gives hugs and kisses. She was moving out. Okay, no problem.This was the first time I'd seen or talked to her since I called her. She had one of the vans and it had no reverse. LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;he and her Mom possibly have an apartment. I can understand Megan living with her Mom . . but I know it has to be very rough for her Mom, a few years younger than me, living with her parents after all this time. Megan is a very friendly and loving individual. She would do everything in the world for you. And that's wonderful. She stayed with her Grandparents recently to take care of them as they were all ill. Imagine . . one trailer, her Grandparents, Mom, and her two kids and herself. I don't want to imagine it either.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;he so needs some steadiness in her life. She needs to focus on her family. She needs Jesus as her Saviour. Because of the wicked world we live in, she finds herself with two totally dependent youngsters. She was in public school and like many before her and after her, she quit. It is very common in our local school district in the High School.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333399;"&gt;She doesn't want to hear about Jesus yet. But maybe someday, before it's too late.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-1597963898258054676?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/1597963898258054676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=1597963898258054676' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/1597963898258054676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/1597963898258054676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/06/life-of-20-year-old-woman-these-days.html' title='Life of A 20 Year Old Woman These Days'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319449169432762595.post-7523770860262660771</id><published>2007-06-20T12:21:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-06-20T13:12:46.133-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boy&apos;s Club'/><title type='text'>Decline of Moraltiy</title><content type='html'>What is morality? In today's standards it is do whatever you want, whenever you want and shrug your shoulders at another's immorality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what does God's Word say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Isaiah 5:20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¶ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! KJAV&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Over a span of about 8+ years, the Lord has brought an assortment of teens my way. And no matter what the results, I praise Him for His Will. But it has been such a heartbreak in so many ways. And yet a couple of years or so later, some have overcome their rebellion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;And where do they lose the morality guidance? I would say initially by the way they are brought up. Am I blaming the parents for the children's rebellion? Not in the sense that I believe the parents took their children by the hand and walked on the rebellion road with them showing them what they should do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;No!  The teens are responsible for their actions. But the parents are responsible for instilling right and wrong. And of all the parents I've observed have no spiritual guidance . . no Biblical guidance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;What are the parents like? The most heartbreaking are the situations where the Mothers up and left the marriage leaving behind the kids. I'm far from perfect . . but could I walk away from my son to leave him with someone else to raise him? Not in a heartbeat!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Marriage these days is maybe not frowned upon . . . but it's not lifted up as what a man and woman (yes, &lt;strong&gt;a man and a woman&lt;/strong&gt;) should do if they decided they love each other. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Then there are the kids who have no idea who fathered them. One in particular . . oh how I tried to help him. He is angry and I don't blame him for that. Basically, once he and his siblings were old enough, Mom got an apartment and pretty much left them to raise themselves. She was too busy living with her boyfriend. The result? The young man is in jail now for a 2-3 year term. He's been in and out of trouble for years. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;His sister, older than him . . whom her Mom allowed a young adult male to live with them at one time and didn't care if they slept together . . now has twin boys. And the sperm donor? He is in jail as well (for the same crime as her brother) and is a Muslim. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The next sibling, teen male, is into Cocaine. And the youngest? I have to idea. I've heard he's doing pretty well, whatever that means.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;There are two young men , however, who I took to my heart. And both had Mothers who walked away from the marriage and the kids. They are my unofficially adopted sons. The first is now 19, the Father of a 4 month old son and living with his son's Mom. The last time he got in trouble he was given probation. He was recently released from probabtion and is trying to put a life together. He has a sister at home who also went through rebellion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;From the age of 14, this young man has been in our life. (my sons and mine) And in all that time I heard from his Dad twice. In other words he never cared enough to make sure his son was okay. He called here once and came here once . . during the whole period that his son was closely involved in our lives. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;There there is the second young man who is 18. He's been in Juvy, and a home for rebellious teens, and in a Correctional Facility. However, the last time he did something illegal he received probation. He still has a ways to go, but he has awakened from his rebellion. He has two older brothers, neither of whom I really know well. I do know his Dad a little bit. And he seems very nice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;This young man once told me, "I consider you my Mom more than my Mom." I thought I'd break down in tears . . but he was permanently a part of my heart. I just hugged him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Now this all sounds good, right? In a way yes . . BUT, the first young man has son out of wedlock And that is wrong. Oh I've held him . . he's a chunky cute baby just like Daddy. But it remains wrong to not be married. Not in the world's eyes, but in the Lords.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I think there is hope. I believe strongly that the feminazi's push for abortion has backfired on this generation of kids. I praise the Lord for this. I think they truly realize that when they become pregnant, that is a baby, a real life inside them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;This was what I called my Boy's Club. Lately, the Lord is bringing me girls. Oh boy . . . More on that at a later date.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319449169432762595-7523770860262660771?l=declineofmorality.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/feeds/7523770860262660771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8319449169432762595&amp;postID=7523770860262660771' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/7523770860262660771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8319449169432762595/posts/default/7523770860262660771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://declineofmorality.blogspot.com/2007/06/decline-of-moraltiy.html' title='Decline of Moraltiy'/><author><name>Pam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07262415805592502450</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/lookingup/Signature%20Choices/ghostatwindow.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
