TEA Party Day

TAX AND TEA PARTY DAY

It is time to go the park with other fellow Americans to voice our displeasure with the current economic state of affairs. Millions given away to bail out failures and laws created to take money from hard working people to distribute to those who refuse to take care of themselves.

GIANT STEP TOWARD GOVERNMENT DESPOTISM

Apparently Obama and his nominees are of the mind that those who stand and pray outside the abortion facilities for the life of a soon to born child are dangerous. What is truly dangerous is the form of extremism that goes on in the facilities. Therein, so called doctors tear out the human being waiting to be born from the womb of its mother. I call that extreme.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION LINKS PRO-LIFERS TO EXTREMISTS

Washington Times 4/14/09 The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in “rightwing extremist activity,” saying the economic recession, the election of America’s first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.

A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

“It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the warning says.

WAITING ON THE WAITING PERIOD

Is it too much to expect that you wait 24 hours before taking the life of an innocent human being? We spend years of litigation determining the guilt of defendants in capital murder cases before we condemn them to execution. Could we not give one day (24 hours) to think about the death of an innocent human being waiting to be born?

COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 2, 2009) – By a vote of 10-7 on party lines, the Senate Medical Affairs Committee gave favorable approval Thursday to the 24-hour waiting period before abortion. Republicans supported the bill and Democrats opposed it.

The bill which passed the S.C. House in February by a vote of 83-28, now goes to the full Senate where pro-abortion Democrat Brad Hutto of Orangeburg vowed to kill the measure with amendments and “extreme” debate.

South Carolina Citizens for Life asks that you make personal contact with your State Senator to encourage him to support the 24-hour waiting period when it is debated in the full Senate.

GUIDANCE FROM THE CHAPLAIN

Some Guidance from Monsignor Joseph Roth P.A , South Carolina Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree Chaplain

Some “politicians” have brought forth the “counter gospel”. They downplay the gift of Life and proclaim the killing of little children in the womb is just fine! They have made Christians fearful of being mocked and try to push us all into a contraceptive mentality that destroys God’s gift of life.

Why do we let that happen? Why are we silent? Do the words of Jesus not come across clearly enough? “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.”

My brothers and sisters; we are here because we have life and our parents or guardians protected that life. It is our duty to stop the nonsense that says innocent life can be destroyed at will, in the womb of the mother or torn from the womb to die.

Every child, regardless of size, color, shape, physical ability or mental ability, has a right to life that no one on earth has the authority to take away. Love Life! Protect Life! Sustain Life! It is God’s gift not ours! It is “wonderful in our eyes”. Let evil not prevail, but may the life-giving gift of a child, the most vulnerable of the vulnerable, be cherished and respected now and always!

Crimes against life are seen as a means of gathering votes for political office. Catholic Politicians are stating that the child in the womb is not a person and so it can be destroyed. Some say that even if an attempt was made for an unsuccessful abortion and the child is delivered, it may still be left to die! What in the name of all that is holy is our country coming to?

It is your duty and mine, to not be silent, but to stand up for the child who cannot yet even speak for himself or herself! Morality is defined by God and it is not up for a vote to determine its viability! WE must defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Evil is evil! Sin is Sin! You and I must be unafraid to defend the truth and to be people of life or one day my friend; someone not might, but will be determining your life-span.

We need to return to the love of Our Catholic Faith as given to us by Our Lord Jesus Christ! We need to re-dedicate our lives and our lifestyle to Jesus. We need to return to the teachings of Christ and His Church and not let these be trampled upon by politicians, even some who profess to be Catholics. We need to pray as a family! We need to make frequent use of the Sacrament of Penance (Confession). We need to be available for our children and not turn their education over to the State alone. We need time with our children and meaningful time. We need time for each other! Money and power are not bad, but they must be used for the good of all God’s people. As Catholics in America, it is for us to lead the way and proclaim the truth by what we say and what we do. We must lead by example. It must be our way of Life.
