“Gay” Activists Mull “Organized Terrorism” Against Christians

by J. Matt Barber

Story here.

When you combine this article, with the statement from my previous post, you have to sit up and pay attention. Remember folks, every adult citizen has the legal right, and responsibility, to participate in a democratic election. However, there is no legal right to win the election. Any retaliation against Christians (or any person, for that matter), with regards to same-sex marriage legislation, is an act of domestic terrorism/hate crime, and should be treated as such.

Absolutely the Best of Intentions. . .

From the Bangor Daily News, the following:

Re: The vote to repeal Gay "Marriage" (aka sex-segregated marriage) in Maine:

"In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, No on 1 campaign manager Jesse Connolly pledged that his side “will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.”

No doubt Jesse Connolly wants to personally bring flowers and balloons to each of the Yes-on-1 supporters, to show his appreciation for having done their civic duty by participating in a democratic vote and voting their conscience.

Right?

Confidence in the Future

Well, they did it: voters in Maine voted to preserve marriage as being between a man and a woman. Shortly after the news was reported, I participated in the following exchange, via e-mail (note: the person who contacted me is a total stranger. Why me? Who knows?):

Total Stranger, to moi:

"I hope you do realize that the majority who voted "Yes" were mostly the elderly or people over 40-50.
If this thing, nationally, was decided only by Americans under 30, this thing would be over and we would win.
Things will only change. My generation will triumph.
You know it."

Moi, to Total Stranger

"____", perhaps you might like to find and review the Biblical story of Jacob and Esau--Esau, who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Be careful what you ask for--you might get it. Best wishes~"

Total Stranger, back at Moi:

"I am not asking for anything, ____.
I am simply stating the truth and the future. Accept it."

Moi (pondering life, the universe, and everything in between), in reply:

"And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;" I am perfectly content with the future. In fact, I am quite looking forward to it. And I do believe your generation will "triumph." Your generation has been prepared very carefully to do just that. And it will be a wondrous thing."

End of transmission. My guess is that Total Stranger is working on a zinger for me. :) But seriously, here is why I have total confidence in a bright future, though I fully expect dark clouds of opposition to darken the world. What will be, will be. But as you watch this video, look into the eyes of these precious youth, and see if you can't see why I am so hopeful.

And, for your listening pleasure. . . .

Thinking of Maine today

The main thing today is Maine. I know, it's a terrible pun (note--I come from a long line of punsters so bad, they're good, and I am not in their class, but I digress). So, back to Maine.

Hoping for a win for the Yes on 1 folks, and know that whichever way the wind blows, there are good people in that state who will stand firm in the face of opposition, upholding civilization's best hope: strong families, built on the foundation of healthy, traditional marriage.

Go Yes on 1!

Fewer British babies would mean a fairer planet

Even a couple of years ago, I would have said that this kind of abomination could never be foisted upon a free republic such as our's; however, with Cap and Trade waiting in the wings, I can see how easy it would be for the following scenarios:

• taxes and or fines for any family having more than 2 children
• penalties and social ostracism against large families
• a certain allotment of energy usage per household, making things extremely difficult for large families to have their energy needs met
• with enough of a militant attitude--the enforced sterilizations and forced abortions which have traumatized the Chinese.

Legalizing abortion has certainly paved the way for this "the-planet-before-humanity" thinking. Abortion has dehumanized children into inconvenient blobs of cells, where the pregnancy is not wanted and accountability is ignored.

But I have to ask, wherein does the author address the extreme gender imbalance found in the Chinese population, to the tune of millions more boys than girls. Tens of millions. And what about the 30+ European nations whose population replacement level is so critically low, that entire nationalities are at risk for extinction? How about the extreme economic hardships these countries are about to face with their inverted pyramids of large, aging populations, to rapidly shrinking birth rates?

I find it troubling, as well, that the author infers that educated women are too smart to want children--that they'd all rather have careers. That assumption is frankly insulting to educated women who value their role as mother above all else, and have chosen to make motherhood their full-time career choice. Speaking for myself, I have found my Bachelor's degree invaluable in my career as full-time mother. And, my husband (Bachelor and 2 Masters degrees) and I have both chosen to have a large family, with no apologies, thank you very much.

The earth has plenty, and to spare, with the ability to support many more billions than now exist. Imagine what we could do in the areas of agriculture and energy, medicine and the arts, were countries not forced to pour money into defense against tyrants and oppressors? Let there be no question about it, though: ANY country, in which the government decides how many children a couple can have, is not free, no matter how many amenities and material goods they may enjoy. Such a gilded cage, is still a cage.

Give up children? I don't think so.

Sen. Hatch Questions Constitutionality of Obamacare: If Feds Can Force Us to Buy Health Insurance ‘Then There’s Literally Nothing the Federal Governme

“I think there’s a real constitutional issue there,” Hatch said on the CNSNews.com program “Online with Terry Jeffrey.”

"[Hatch] rejected the argument some have made that the federal government forcing everyone to buy health insurance is no different than state governments mandating that people who want to drive must buy auto insurance.

“You know, the illustration they give all the time is: Well, states require people to buy auto insurance. Yeah, they do, if they want to drive,” said Hatch. “But here would be the first time where our [federal] government would demand that people buy something that they may or may not want. And, you know, if that’s the case, then we didn’t need a 'Cash for Clunkers,' all we had to do is have the federal government say you all got to buy new cars, no matter how tough it is on you. You know, they could require you to buy anything. And that isn’t America. That’s not freedom. That’s not constitutionally sound. Now, there may be some gimmicky way that they can do this, but I can’t think of a gimmicky way that would be constitutionally justified.”

My 3-Year-Old Knows

My 3-year-old daughter has a bed-time ritual: read a story, while sitting in the big, cushy rocker, followed by getting tucked into bed with all her snuggly blankets, and her beloved "jammie." Then, it's hugs and kisses, and songs, with lights out, and window blinds open (so the moon can shine through).

One of her favorite songs is the "Happy Family Song." It goes something like this: "I love Daddy, he loves me; we love ___ & ___ & ___ & ___ & ___ & ___ (all the kids, + the dog), yes sirree! They love us, and so you see, we are a happy family." I've tried to change the order of the song around, with her name coupled with mine, first, but she won't let me. She always wants my name coupled with Daddy's. She knows that's the right order of things. Mom + Dad, first, then the kids. If I try and change things around, she always corrects me. She's already figured out that her safety, happiness, and Peace On Earth are founded on "I Love Daddy, He Loves Me," followed by the kids.

Mommy + Daddy (foundation) + kids = Happy Family

So simple, even a 3-yr.-old knows.
