Domestic terrorists or patriots: what does the counterrevolution believe?

There has been much said lately about those people who have been protesting our out of control Federal government. The state-sanctioned media have been labeling us racists, as rednecks, as domestic terrorists, inherently dangerous to the safety of our neighbors because of our supposedly extremist and “fringe” beliefs. If fact, the only thing we threaten by raising our voices and demanding that the Constitution be strictly adhered to is an ongoing revolution that promotes principles and values far more akin to those espoused by Marx and Lenin than anything ever proposed by the Founders of this republic. As we perceive it, it is they who threaten us.
 
This begs the questions: what, exactly is it that these people believe that makes them “extremist” or “fringe” or “dangerous?” Are there some who are kooks? Yes there are – and there are plenty of dangerous left-wing extremists as well. You will recall that a pro-life protester was recently killed by a pro-abortion activist. As those on the other side would claim, such people are a minority of their movement, and the same holds true with those of us who oppose any further expansion of government.   (more...)

Respect Life: Stop Obama!

Since today is Respect Life Sunday I felt the need to repost an article I wrote some time ago. It is an article about Obama’s extreme pro-abortion stance and his support of infanticide. It has been modified slightly from its’ original form. I believe Obama’s pro-abortion extremism and activism warrants not merely revisiting the subject over and over again, but indeed speaking and writing of it so often that the average citizen with their head in the sand cannot help but to notice. 

For me, from my Catholic Christian perspective, it is an obligation to illuminate the unspeakable evils enabled by men and women of Obama’s ilk, yet all too sadly such discussion of the truth fall on deaf ears even in many Christian circles. This truth is ugly and must be told and acknowledged. What is perhaps most disturbing to me is that as Americans so many profess to be Christians, believers in the salvation of humanity bought by the price of the Blood of Christ, yet so many of these self-professed believers also either actively sanction the unjustifiable slaughter of the innocent unborn in their own mother’s wombs or they take the politically correct approach and claim that it would be wrong to “impose” their moral beliefs on others. I submit that such a weak excuse will not win the favor of the Almighty when at judgment the tens of millions of holy innocents fill the Holy Courts and ask, “Why?”

Indeed, for those who profess belief in God in general and in Christ as Savior in particular there cannot be any validity found in what we Catholics term the “cafeteria” approach where one accepts all the warm-and-fuzzy sentiments and rewards of Christianity while rejecting either tacitly or outright the difficult moral stances required in order to obtain even the possibility of attaining such rewards.

To say that Americans have become complacent in their faith is an understatement, for it is increasingly clear that many do not see the inherent and irrefutable connection between the moral evils being perpetrated in this country and our collective woes as a nation. To pass such things off as merely coincidental is not only naïve but deadly – both to one’s soul and to our republic. I readily confess that I am no theologian; however, to deny the correlation between, say, the tens of millions of abortions that have been allowed to take place on American soil – something we know as Christians is inherently evil and unjustifiable under any condition or pretext – and the idea that disobedience to God by the continuing perpetration of grave moral evils will ultimately result in the loss of His grace to sustain us is completely and utterly stupid, not to mention hypocritical. When we turn our collective backs on God and His Commandments as a nation should it be any surprise, then, that He withdraws His grace and leaves us to our own devices in our imperfect and fallen condition, subject to our own concupiscence to fend for ourselves? It is any wonder that the more prideful we become as a nation the less guidance and assistance we can expect from our humble and living God? 

If we are to regain our footing and return our nation to prosperity it is necessary to acknowledge God and His commandments, to honor them, and to collectively repent of the evils that go on within our boarders. Darkness cannot withstand the light of Truth, and it is indeed His Truth that will once again set us free from slavery to sin. We can illuminate the darkness by speaking the truth and here is a good place to start: actions have consequences in the eyes of God, for Jesus tells us as much throughout the Gospels. Remember the wheat and the chaff?   Let us not mince words, then.

At the risk of being branded politically incorrect, and even “racist” (those who sling that term around the most don’t even know what it means), let me say this: Barack Obama is an evil, evil man. He supports and actively promotes the unrestricted slaughter of children in what should be the safest place in the world – their own mothers’ wombs. He would prefer to leave a newborn infant to die for to do other wise could encroach on his donations from Planned Parenthood. He considers babies “mistakes.” He supports heavy progressive taxation and whole-scale redistribution of wealth, which devalues the efforts and dignity of the individual. He lies and encourages others to lie for him to obscure his radical past and his present radical beliefs while he calls for transparency. He is a hypocrite of epic proportions and is the most dangerous opponent of individual Liberty as enshrined in the Constitution this nation has even faced because he comes as an agent of hope and change. And too many people believe him. 
 
 

BARAK OBAMA IS A MONSTER

He is a liar too. And now he’s being called out on it s that the world can see him as he truly is: a monster. By now, I am sure there are not too many people who have NOT heard about Senator Obama’s extremist pro-abortion history and his single-handed killing of the Illinois version of the Federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act. The problem that I have is not only with Obama and his morbid obsession with enabling the deaths of untold infants, it’s the way his extremism is being portrayed. Most of the folks at Fox News, columnists here at Town Hall and some the other outlets actually reporting on this for the most part report Obama’s position as radical or extremely pro-abortion, which is not incorrect. However, it does stop short of calling Obama on what he truly is by not only his vote of “present” while in the state senate in Illinois but also by his refusal to actually name his true position and his wildly errant and duplicitous answers and accusations toward those who would call him out. He has shown himself by his actions and inactions that he is, in truth and in deed, something absolutely unconscionable to he civilized mind: he is a radical proponent and activist for the cause of infanticide. Face it – Senator Barak Obama is a monster of Hitlerian proportions.

For anyone unfamiliar, in 2003 while serving in the Illinois State Senate, as Chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee Obama took the lead role in killing Senate Bill 1663, a Bill that, if passed would require immediate and appropriate medical care for an infant that survived an attempted abortion and was subsequently born alive. The type of abortion in question is a late-term abortion performed by a method known as “induced-labor,” and “live-birth,” where drugs are administered to the mother to induce labor, birth the baby and, if the baby should inconveniently survive the labor and birth, the newly born infant is left to die. This is what was being practiced in Illinois, specifically at Christ Hospital which, according to the sworn testimony of Jill Stanek a Labor and Delivery Nurse who was fired for blowing the lid off of this Pandora’s box, “performs abortions during the second and even third trimesters of pregnancy.”

The Bill in question that Obama used all the power and privilege of his position as Chairman to kill would have simply required that, in the event the baby was indeed a live birth, surviving the abortion, it had to be medically assessed, cared for and treated. For Obama, this was too much an encroachment on Roe V. Wade and too much of a burden to place on the mother and the abortionist who wanted the baby dead in the first place, poor things. The summary of the bill reads thus:

            “Amends the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975.    Provides that no abortion procedure that, in the medical judgment of the attending physician, has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in a live born child shall be undertaken unless there is in attendance a physician other than the physician performing or inducing the abortion who shall address the child's viability and provide medical care for the child. Provides that a physician inducing an abortion that results in a live born child shall provide for the soonest practicable attendance of a     physician other than the physician performing or inducing the abortion to immediately assess the child's viability and provide medical care for the child. Provides that a live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and that all reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice shall be taken to preserve the life and health of the child.”

The aforementioned nurse, Jill Stanek, testified before a committee where Obama served, the Judiciary Committee, and gave the same testimony as in the link above.   Later she would comment that Senator Obama was seemingly undisturbed in any way by her testimony of the horrors ongoing at Christ Hospital, and surely at many others.

Later as Chair of the Health and Human Services Committee, Senator Obama was the only person to take the floor and speak out against a bill that would save he life of a baby that survived a “live-birth” late-term abortion.

Obama testified that he was confident that, in the “unlikely” event the abortionist messed up and the baby was born alive, he would trust that by the very ethics of the profession that said doctor – who had intended to kill the baby in– would now do everything possible for the baby without the necessity of such a law. Right. He said that adding an additional doctor – by law – “to be called in an emergency situation and to come in and make these assessments is really designed to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.”

To clarify his twisted reasoning Senator Obama explained it thus: "whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection Clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a -- a child, a 9-month old -- child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it -- it would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute." [For audio of this testimony click here.]

As if going out of his way to defend the indefensible weren’t bad enough, now he’s lying about it – even when his own campaign staff is acknowledging that Obama did indeed kill the bill. Obama said Pro-Life advocates are distorting the record and that the only reason he opposed the bill was because it did not include the same language as the Federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which included language approved by Sen. Diane Feinstein to protect with Roe v. Wade. From the NY Sun, 18 August 2008: “His campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state Senate, and a spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said the senator and other lawmakers had concerns that even as worded, the legislation could have undermined existing Illinois abortion law. Those concerns did not exist for the federal bill, because there is no federal abortion law.”

Obama voted “present,” which in political speak means, “I am spineless and need plausible deniability for my future career. This is my round-about way of voting ‘No’ and denying it later.”

When testifying before the Illinois State Senate Judicial Committee, a hearing at which Obama was present, Jill Stanek explained what horrors were perpetrated at Christ Hospital:

“The abortion method being called into question that Christ Hospital and other Illinois hospitals practice is called “induced labor abortion." This abortion technique sometimes results in infants being aborted alive. In the event that an infant is aborted alive at Christ Hospital, she or he is given no medical assessments or care whatsoever, but is left to die.”

“The induced labor abortion procedure can be performed using a couple different medications, but the goal always is to cause a pregnant woman's cervix to open so that she will deliver a premature baby who dies during the birth process or soon afterward. At Christ Hospital the physician inserts a medication called Cytotec into the mother's birth canal next to the cervix. The cervix is the opening at the bottom of the uterus that normally stays closed until a mother is about 40 weeks pregnant and ready to deliver. But Cytotec irritates the cervix and stimulates it to open early. When this happens, the pre-term baby drops out of the uterus, sometimes alive.

In the event that a baby is aborted alive at Christ Hospital, he or she is not given any medical care, but is rather given what my hospital calls “comfort care." “Comfort care” is defined as keeping the baby warm in a blanket until the baby dies, although until recently even this was not always done. The baby is then offered to the parents to hold until he or she dies.

If the parents do not want to hold their dying aborted baby, as is most often the case, it is left to nursing staff or support staff on the floor to hold the baby until he or she dies. And, until this past December, when staff did not have time or the desire to hold the baby, the baby was taken to our Soiled Utility Room and left there alone to die. Christ Hospital's comfort care policy, #WHS492, only requires that live aborted babies be checked for signs of life once an hour, or “as needed in order to verify time of death.” [emphasis mine]

“It is not uncommon for a live aborted babies to linger for an hour or two or even longer.   At Christ Hospital, one of these babies once lived for almost an entire eight-hour shift. Last year alone, of the 13 babies that I am aware of who were aborted at Christ Hospital, at least four lived between 1-1/2 to 3 hours, two boys and two girls. Christ Hospital says that it compassionately aborts babies with very serious mental or physical handicaps. But Christ Hospital will also abort for life or health of the mother. So at least two of the second-trimester babies who were aborted last year, for instance, were completely healthy.”

What is this if not monstrous? What kind of person could vote to or otherwise deny a little infant born alive even comfort in its final moments? How callous and cold-hearted have we become to allow such horrors to take place? Only a monster could do such a thing. Obama, it seems in his ardent enthusiasm for perpetuating the senseless slaughter of viable born-alive babies cannot, of course, even bring himself to acknowledge when life begins, as we all observed during his Saddleback performance. If life does not begin at conception, sir, then what is the purpose for using contraception during the conjugal act? It is to prevent something, is it not? Something that upon fertilization begins to multiply and grow, chromosomes are joined together that will “determine many of the child's physical characteristics, including sex, eye and hair color, height, and even intelligence to some extent. This process is simple, yet profound, and it occurs at conception.” [Ken Connor: When Does a Baby Get Human Rights?]

It is sickening to think that such horrible things as these were happening to helpless infants, and even though we have the Federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act, there are still places where late-term abortions are being performed on viable second and third trimester babies. And it is evil – ANY abortion on ANY baby at ANY stage of development after conception is evil. 

The Roe v. Wade decision is without question one of the single most destructive things that has ever happened to this country, for it has desensitized us to the very things that our Founding Fathers risked their very lives for: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. One cannot enjoy liberty or pursue one’s happiness if one is not alive, now, can one? Once desensitized to life,, and the taking of life, there is no limit to the depths to which a society can sink, and in the 35 years since the tragedy of Roe we have sunk vey far. We have sunk far enough to kill millions of unborn babies, ripping them limb from limb from what ought to be the safest place in the world – their own mothers’ womb. We have sunk far enough allow a young woman in a “vegetative” state to die a horrible death by court ordered starvation. Any we may very well elect a President who is a proponent of ripping helpless babies alive from the womb and letting them suffer and die alone. We have embarked upon the slippery slope of the culture of death, and with no foreseeable end in sight. What is next, Senator? Christians and Jews?

This man is evil, and if not stopped we will all continue to suffer. Let us remember that Hitler did not just erect concentration camps overnight. Rather he was patient and deceptive, letting misinformation, propaganda and time do his most effective campaigning. Abortion on demand was first, then an infanticide much akin to the kind embraced by Obama. Then the benevolent and caring Fuhrer compassionately decided that the difficulties that would lay ahead in the lives of the severely disabled were too burdensome for them and their caretakers, and that the best choice would be to save them from such misery and allow them to die with dignity and cyanide gas. From the severely disabled the moderately disabled were targeted. From there it was but a short step to the killing of anyone for any reason which, of course, is exactly what happened.

Once a society is wholly desensitized to violence and once human life becomes devalued and such evils become part of the accepted fabric of that society, it becomes inevitable that terrible consequences are only a few electoral cycles and economic crises away. Politicians will always find scapegoats to save their own hides or to use exploitatively for their own personal gain. Do not be so foolish as to believe such things can never happen here – the German citizenry under the Weimar Republic would never have believed that such unspeakable evil could happen to their country, but it did. And all that was needed was fear, an economic crisis, threats of foreign aggression and a man who was at that time a prophet of hope and change for Germany.  

And what of a hospital named Christ gleefully performing such abominable and unconscionable acts? No true Christian can support such things. If this is acceptable, then God help us. As for Obama, I hope and pray that he re-think his positions on such issues because of the horrors he has already enabled by his votes and policies and, now because of the horrors that could be wrought upon this nation by this man who has chosen evil over good. This monster, Obama.

They Really Think Obama is Jesus

You have to love the Looney-Left. While the Obama campaign is still reeling from the knockout punch delivered by the addition of Sarah Palin to the GOP ticket, they have become increasingly desperate as evidenced by their underhanded and loathsome personal attacks against Palin and her family. And, while Obama and his official campaign surrogates may smugly deny the smears, you know they are grasping at straws and giving each other the ol’ fist pump as each new attack is made.

After wild and baseless accusations alleging Sarah Palin was really Trigg’s grandmother, after screaming about alleged abuse of power with the so-called Troopergate scandal, after insulting her and her hometown of Wasilla, after all of these smears failed to bring Palin down, the Left has done the only thing they could – they’ve turned to God for help. 

You see, the Democrat Party actually discovered God just prior to the commencement of their 2008 convention in Denver, and since then religion has caught on like wildfire – or a burning bush, as the case may be. And, surprisingly, nowhere in the party is this newfound faith in God more apparent than, miracle of miracles, the Looney-Left!

In fact for only having known God for just a few weeks, they’ve had quite the revelation in so short a period of time. As Michael Moore and Don Fowler put it so aptly, Hurricane Gustav bearing down on New Orleans the very day the GOP convention was set to begin was clearly a sign from God that He is firmly in the race for Obama and the Democrats. Of course – how could it be otherwise? And this has been confirmed by the latest revelation to the Democrat Faithful.

After losing the “experience” wars over the last week The Almighty has once again shone the light of His divine favor upon the Democrat Party be revealing that Jesus was not merely the Son of God Most High, but also was a Marxist community organizer who apparently championed redistribution of wealth on a massive scale, kowtowing to radical Islam, turning the other cheek, willingly going the extra mile and loving one’s neighbor, except of course when that neighbor happens to be a conservative woman named Sarah Palin.

Why just yesterday Susan Sarandon was on one of those really informative “celebrity news” shows and said, “You know, Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor. That’s all I have to say about that.” Wow! Such profundity! I had no idea she was such a fluent Biblical scholar.

In fact, in just the past week, Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi – herself a most gifted and charismatic leader as evidenced by her monumental accomplishments in overseeing the 110th Congress – acknowledged that Obama is “a gift from God.” Not to be outdone by their boss Pelosi or the esteemed Hollywood elite, Democrat Representatives Steve Cohen and Donna Brazile also made the point of affirming and validating Obama’s service to his nation as a community organizer, and not just at some fly-over political rally. No, Cohen had this to say on the floor of the US House of Representatives: “I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that the parties have differences, but if you want change, you want the Democratic Party. Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor.” Brazile said the same thing on Wolfe Blitzer’s show.

Now I don’t know about you, but I am awfully glad that the Democrats have finally discovered God and seem to quickly be getting over their hang-up on that Church-and-State thing they used to complain so often and bitterly about. 

I guess the forgot that their heroes like FDR, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were also governors – just like Pontius Pilate. I guess now that they’ve discovered Jesus, they’ll eventually re-write the Gospels too, just like they’ve done to history. I wonder when they’ll start blaming Jesus for Judas’ death and condemnation to hell. I mean after all, Jesus knew what Judas was going to do, didn’t he? Couldn’t he have stopped him? Why, He didn’t even try! Can you see the outrage coming?

Oh, and what about the war? Jesus/Obama is certainly against war – any war. Remember that thing about loving thy neighbor? And what about “thou shalt not kill?” All very true indeed. However, I have a couple of slight problems with this newfound Democrat Theology, especially since their messiah doesn’t seem to believe that the 6th Commandment applies to newborn infants that so inconveniently survive their own attempted murder. Call me a skeptic, a villain, or whatever you will, but I’m not buying it.

You’ve got to love the Looney-Left. You’d think that after 2000 and 2004 someone over their on the Left would have enough sense to tell these people to shut up until after the election and ruthlessly silence them as they are so fond of doing to any opposition.

On the other hand maybe, just maybe, Pelosi, Sarendon, Donna Brazile and Steve Cohen are a gift from God to the GOP. Gee, ya think?

What Has Become of America?

 

A reflection on Isaiah 3:1-15

They say that mixing politics and religion is like mixing alcohol and guns. So, here goes nothing.

Last Monday morning as I was praying the Office of Readings the first reading from Scripture was Isaiah 3:1-15. I was struck by the relevance of this passage to our modern condition, and the prophet Isaiah clearly shows the consequences for a nation that turns its back on God. 

Isa.3 Verses 1 to 15

A few of these verses really jumped out at me:

[8] For Jerusalem has stumbled,

and Judah has fallen;

because their speech and their deeds are against the LORD,

defying his glorious presence.

[9] Their partiality witnesses against them;

they proclaim their sin like Sodom,

they do not hide it.

Woe to them!

For they have brought evil upon themselves.

I have been reflecting upon these words all week. Isaiah and many of the other prophets and, indeed, our Lord Jesus, tells us time and time again of the inevitable and imminent consequences resulting from our disobedience to the natural law and commandments established by God for our own good. God does not condemn us or condemn the nations for such disobedience – we condemn ourselves by our actions or inaction. Indeed, neither does God “punish” by bringing evil down upon us – He is all-good and does no evil. He does, however allow such evil to exist and to influence the world. He does not send down evil upon His creation; rather, He leaves us to our own devices to deal with the consequences of our choices, and this, it can be argued, is far worse. 

Can anyone argue that there is not a constant attack upon the foundation of our society by the radical Leftists and “progressives” looking to redefine everything from “relationships” to “marriage” to “family?” Is it not obvious that they would have us all to believe that little children being promiscuous because they have been educated by Planned Parenthood is just fine? Can we all not see through their efforts at rewriting textbooks to “normalize: same-sex parenting and relationships, and sexual relationships even among children? Have we not noticed a marked increase in the number of lawsuits filed to “equalize” and “normalize” what cannot, by natural law, be on equal par with the traditional family? Have we not seen these attacks aimed at the schools - at our children in order to indoctrinate them into the globalist, relativist ideology where nothing is “wrong,” and everything is OK? In California, homeschooling by parents was declared unconstitutional by the courts. Why? Not because the state was overly concerned about parents having the proper and suitable “credentials” to teach their own children, but because of what these children were being taught. It is because these children were being taught the truth about virtue, values and morals, and unadulterated history; and, by virtue of their avoidance of the California government school system were exempted from the socialistic agenda and radical secular humanism and relativism being pushed by some very influential people in that state and indeed around the country. Let me be clear: the agenda is NOT to educate our children, but to re-educate them, and kudos to those who have entered the teaching profession to fight this nonsense and get schools back on track to doing what they are meant to do – teach academics. 

If we continue to blur the lines of reason, especially for the children, telling them that “good” is “bad” and vice-versa; if we continue to allow government sponsored promiscuity –education to be forced upon our children just because Planned Parenthood tells them it is OK; if we continue to allow government to play a central role in desensitizing children to sexual promiscuity, to violence, to the abuse of women through a pop-culture that celebrates these things, and if we continue to treat lies as truth and call truth a lie - is this not our nation turning it’s back on God, the same God who conceived it and blessed it for over two-hundred years? 

If we continue to allow judges to legislate from the bench and remove God from the public discourse because non-believers are offended, what will become of us? The more we exclude God then the greater the degree to which we exclude ourselves from His grace and blessings – and make no mistake about it: American ingenuity and workmanship and ethics were and still are something marvelous to behold, but without God being included as a real partner in the mission of America, there is nothing of permanent worth that will be accomplished and our standing in the world will suffer, and we will continue to suffer from division from within.

[12b]O my people, your leaders mislead you,

and confuse the course of your paths.

[13] The LORD has taken his place to contend,

he stands to judge his people.

Until Truth is once again recognized as Truth and acknowledged as such we shall continue to remain divided and suffer. What is needed is leadership – and at present there is very, very little in the way of meaningful leadership that will unashamedly and boldly proclaim the Truth about America with conviction and from the heart; that America was meant to be a virtuous nation, a beacon of light and hope to a world enslaved by oppression and tyranny. For a very long time we were that beacon, but once we began to lose our moral compass, that light began to dim, and as we steadily hurled our nation toward the abyss of rampant immorality and licentiousness that light somewhere along the way has seemingly extinguished, and we now suffer the consequences of this: scandal, lies, perversion, war, usurpation of rights, the evils of globalism and socialism pounding as a battering ram at America’s door. The rampant and wonton immorality becoming ever more acceptable and normalized in this country is the greatest threat to our national security that can be conceived.

[4] And I will make boys their princes,

and babes shall rule over them.

[5] And the people will oppress one another,

every man his fellow

and every man his neighbor;

the youth will be insolent to the elder,

and the base fellow to the honorable.

You see how we are? You know also that it was not always so. Once there was a middle ground called virtue. Once we had leaders who rose up and brought this nation with them to great heights. Once we endeavored, now we wait. Once we made our voice heard, now there is apathy. Once we ran Washington, now Washington runs us. Once we were citizens of liberty, now slaves to licentiousness. Once we were untied, now divided, and you know what is said about a house divided. A moral collapse begets a culture of excess that always precedes an economic collapse, and throughout history an economic collapse will always bring about a political and structural collapse, and necessitate a rebuilding – like the New Deal. 

You know that as a republic of laws, built upon the bedrock of a Constitution which itself seeps of the natural moral law and acknowledged as such by its Framers that as long as we have that Constitution, no matter how bad things may become, there will always be a flicker of hope to re-kindle the flames that once burned so deeply in the very heart of this republic and made it the great nation it was and still is. 

We seem to have lost our moral compass as a nation. It is within our power to undo the foolishness of the past and prepare the way of the future by acknowledging that which our Founding Fathers acknowledged in order to stoke the fires of virtue and promise and plenty in advancing the cause of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as envisioned by the Framers. We were established as a nation in the form of a republic rooted in Judeo-Christian tradition and principles. We would do well to remember those principles, for if we do we shall once again endear ourselves to God and show ourselves wanting truly and sincerely for His blessings. Then, and only then, will we have nothing to fear.

[10] Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them,

for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

[11] Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,

for what his hands have done shall be done to him.
