What we have today in America is a whole lot of folks with a whole lot of power, who don’t seem to believe in any sort of life after this one.  Or if they do believe that there is a God, and that the spiritual component of each human being lives on past physical death, they seem to think that God is more akin to their therapists than to the perfectly principled, rather strict Father who commands a touch of reverential fear from His children.  You know, the real, ever-living God revealed in the Bible.  The actual Creator of every single little speck in the universe.  The eye-for-an-eye Guy.

Yes, yes, yes, I know.  God is love. The problem is that the word “love” has been put through so many ghastly contortions, reduced to such lowly human dimensions, has been so overused and misunderstood that we have “psychologized” it right out of the true lingual hemisphere.  Our common usage of the word “love” has nothing whatsoever to do with God or any of His character traits.

We tend to think that Hallmark defines “love” better than God does.  We have been deceived to believe that a hug says “love” to a little child who’s just run into a busy street, barely avoiding death - better than a spanking that might keep him out of the street from now on.  We’ve accepted nearly lock, stock and barrel the idiotic idea that, when it comes to marriage, love equals romance.  When and if you lose the romance, you’ve lost the love, and it’s time to chuck the marriage.  Pure human hogwash.  Genuine love is a choice of human free will that necessarily results in action, often self-sacrificial, for the benefit of another human being.  It ain’t a feeling.

We have taught ourselves to accept the idea that a government entitlement program equals genuine charity. An entitlement program enslaves its recipients to a dependent addiction upon unending support, while true charity inspires the beneficiary to become a giver himself.  There is nothing whatsoever truly charitable or loving about a government bureaucrat churlishly handing over a welfare check.  We might as well be handing out crack cocaine, because the helplessness and dependency we create with each “hit” to the system is every bit as disabling.  And anyone who earnestly believes that this charity is going to  earn him any merit badges from a truly loving God is in for a rather rude awakening.

Creating this deceptive form of slavery might even be worse than the chain-and-shackles kind, because welfare slavery is less obvious, more devious, and the “abolitionists” who decry its insidious evil are branded by its very perpetrators as uncharitable and unloving.  At least the slavers of old could not credibly claim to be high-minded humanitarians the way nanny-state politicians do today.  But God isn’t fooled; results do count.  Doesn’t anyone remember that provincial old saying about the road to hell being paved with good intentions?  Honestly.

Then, we have the whole abortion industry and its supporting politicians telling us day in and day out how much they love women, how they only want women to be free to choose.  Constantly cajoling women to believe that killing their helpless offspring is a worthy option in the pursuit of individual happiness, a “choice” that will incur no real consequence, is one of the most heinously evil deceptions ever perpetrated against women. That medical doctors ever allowed themselves to become willing accomplices to such an outright lie is one of the greatest coups ever pulled off by God’s own enemy.

But make no mistake, millions of women whose lives have been shattered by this devious deception will be waiting after this life with eternal castigation for those who professed to really “love” them.  A little more “afterlife” woman-fearing and God-fearing might deter an awful lot of abortionists from doing their evil deeds behind the cloak of anesthesia, rallied by a host of defenders crying “love” for women.  Please.

And what price will God exact from our politicians, who on the one hand proclaim their undying love for freedom and democracy, but find every excuse under the sun not to fight for it. To help a people achieve the formation of a government that enables human dignity, and at least the opportunity for a better earthly existence, has to be one of the noblest endeavors in this life.  To offer the promise of this help and knowingly stir up the “hornet’s nest” in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to then renege on that promise before the task is complete, must be one of the most ignoble and unloving deeds ever committed by those in powerful positions.

If we had not - as a Nation - lost sight of the genuine definition of our word, “love,” and if we had not tried to reduce God to the role of a permissive, everything’s-really-okay-if-you-feel-good-about-it therapist, then I doubt very seriously if we would be experiencing half the trouble we have in our laps right now.

It’s high time we bring back a healthy fear of God.  There is no way for anyone to prove on earth the existence of God or the reality of eternal life for the human soul.  However, those placing lifelong bets on there being no God - or that God is as permissible as a liberal parent - might be in for a terribly rude awakening.  Maybe some ought to be hedging those bets a bit.

Last week, as Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano tried to back-paddle her way out of her department’s disgraceful report on “right-wing extremists” and “disgruntled Vets,” I really didn’t think it was possible for her to dig herself a deeper hole with war veterans, to whom we all owe our own safety and liberty.

But, lo and behold, the little lady has gone and done it.

The Hill is today reporting on Napolitano’s appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, wherein she claimed that it wasn’t really veterans’ genuine bent towards terrorist acts that concerned the DHS, it was their stupidity and willingness to be used by right-wing extremist groups.  You remember, I’m sure, who those “extremist” groups are:  right-to-life proponents, 2^nd Amendment supporters and those who see the federal government’s leap to the far left as un-Constitutional tyranny.

It has evidently whooshed right over the head of Ms. Napolitano that U.S. troops not only can and do think for themselves, but that among the entire host of the citizenry at large, these men and women are probably the most adept at escaping the propagandized proselytes that prey on dimwitted folks.  Actually, the most easily duped by false logic and into terrorist actions, seem to thrive on our university campuses most, and certainly least among our military.

Unfortunately, this mindset so amply demonstrated by Napolitano today is in the same vein as Senator Kerry’s idiotic campaign joke in 2006.  Readers may recall John Kerry addressing a group of high schoolers with his elitist poppycock about keeping their grades up so they wouldn’t end up in Iraq.

John Kerry to students:  “Do you know where you end up if you don’t study, if you aren’t smart, if you‘re intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush.”

Soldiers in the war theater made such mincemeat out of Kerry’s dimwitted “joke” that he became an instant pariah even to his own political party.

And here we are in 2009, hip deep in Obama change no one apparently wants, while Ms. Napolitano channels John Kerry on national television.

Is there any cure for liberal elitist myopia?

If the Democrat Party put half the money they spend on selling abortion into finding a cure for the thing that most ails their own sorry lot, we might actually be able to get this American Titanic turned around.

That’s my opinion.

Yes, it’s (the presidency of Barack Obama) Peter Principle on more ways than one.  A corollary of PP is that one will expand his supervisory responsibilities by 6 to ensure his job. BO is doing this by expanding govt jobs and not private sector employment.

He is also an AA. First it could stand for African-American or Anti(Apologetic)American. Then it may stand for Alcoholic Anonymous. On the latter he has become drunk on tax payers money and needs to go thru a 13 step Rehab. The 13th being to resign.  We’ve seen how he has put down America when he speaks. Finally, as to the first AA, since he is truly born of African and American parents all black Americans should become just that, An American. Blacks no longer can legitimately use the hyphen as describing their ethnicity. Every time I hear the hyphenated  term, I want to ask, do you have dual citizenship? Or what Entitlement program do you want? Don Arnold

Bravo, Don!  Couldn’t have said it better myself.  There are no hyphenated Americans; there are only Americans.  That’s the purest meaning of One Nation under God, the rule of law for all, and the U.S. Constitution.

As to Barack Obama being the utter fulfillment of the Peter Principle, this becomes more appallingly apparent by the day.  This man is in way over his head and determined to sell us down the river while he tests out his insane worldview.  Does it get any worse than this?

A reader wrote to me today, saying he took grave offense at my characterization of scientific experimentation with human embryos as a new wave of Dr. Joseph Mengele type crimes against humanity.  This reader said his objections were based on his professional standing as a biological scientist.  He seems not to be aware that the eugenics philosophy of Adolph Hitler was instigated by revered scientists and medical professionals of their day.  Being a scientist in no way whatsoever shields a person from evil.

Here is my answer to the complaint:

I’m so sorry that you feel offended by my likening of experimentation using human beings at embryo stage to new wave Megeles.  I stand by the assertion, however.
The only difference, in my opinion, in experimenting on older human beings and experimenting on embryos is the size of the victim and the fact that the embryo does not feel the pain.  Otherwise, using human beings without their consent for medical experimentation is unethical at best and a crime against humanity at worst.  As every single human being, from the moment of his conception, is but on a continuum of development, any experimentation on his person without his consent is an egregious violation of his unalienable right to legal protections against unwarranted murder.
Embryo experimentation, of course, represents nothing new in the realm of human evil perpetrated against other humans.  It merely follows a long line of various acts by various societies.  Regardless how these evil acts may vary in appearance from age to age, from society to society, their innate character remains the same.  Unfortunately, murder by any other name…you get the drift here, I’m certain.
Isn’t it a marvel the contortions people will make to absolve themselves from guilt so that they can remain ensconced in self-made bubbles of sanctimony?
This has always been the heart of human denial and will most likely remain so.  Times and circumstances change; human nature remains as prone to arrogance as it has since the Fall of Man.

I’ve just finished reading a wonderful document called a Blueprint for a Smaller Government.  It is phenomenally on target and a must read for all American patriots, who wish to reform our power-drunk federal government and reduce it to the size and scope as enumerated by our Constitution.

Next National Day of Protest:  Memorial Day or July 4th?  We must keep it going!
