Service to Our Fellow Man

This being Easter Week it seems like a good time to talk about the teachings of Jesus. When Jesus walked upon earth he taught us to serve one another. Indeed, he spent his life serving others without any financial reward. He taught us to do as he did, which means we are expected to spend a lifetime in serving others.

Those who only care about themselves live a life of misery. If you only care about yourself whatever you accumulate will never be enough. Jesus taught us that serving others will bring us joy in this life and happiness in the world to come. Why should this be? It seems to be a law of Heaven that serving others brings us joy and selfishly accumulating wealth and only caring about one’s self brings misery.

Think about people you know who are genuinely concerned about you and others. Someone who is always willing to help you and others even if it is only words of encouragement when you are feeling down. Is that person someone you want to be around not only because they make you feel valued, help you to understand that you can manufacture you own happiness and as an example of how you should treat others?

Contrast that friend with someone you know who is totally selfish. Is that someone a person you would go to for encouragement or advice? Likely that person is someone you would prefer to avoid? The only reason I can think of for spending time with a selfish person is if you have confidence you can show this individual the joy that can come to someone who forgets self and serves others.

Jesus taught us about serving our fellow man in an oft repeated parable which has come to be known as the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In the parable a man was attacked by robbers and left at the road side badly injured. This happened in an Israelite Society where the people had been greatly blessed by God and the expectations were that they would serve him.

In the parable a Priest and a Levite passed him by, two people you would expect to be good examples of God’s teachings. We do not know what they were thinking. Were they late for an appointment? Were they only interested in doing things that might bring them the praise of men and helping this person did not seem to qualify? Did they just not want to get involved? Whatever the reason, it was displeasing to God.

Then a Samaritan appeared, treated his wounds and took him to an Inn and leaving money with the Innkeeper to tend to his needs. He also promised the Innkeeper if the money was not enough to take care of his needs he would pay him the next time he traveled through, which implies he traveled that route often and knew the Innkeeper.

It us worth noting that the Samaritans had a mixture of Israelite and non-Israelite blood and were held in social contempt by most Israelites. There are takeaways from this parable. Those who think they are the chosen of God are often not willing to follow his teachings. Those the Israelites considered inferior  are often “the Chosen” of God by the way they live. The “Good Samaritan” was willing to help a total stranger, perhaps an Israelite who held Samaritans I contempt, at a loss of his time and treasure.

I know a widow who prays every morning that God will lead her to someone she can help that day. As you can imagine she is living a life of purpose and has a reason to get up and get moving each day. I heard a religious leader once say that a colleague told him to treat everyone he meets as someone who has great challenges in life and he would be correct half the time.  It has been said that everyone has a private Hell. To test this theory I asked a woman I am closely acquainted with if she has a “private hell”. She admitted it was her children. I knew what she meant. Some of her children had strayed from the teachings of Jesus and others had gotten divorces.

Do you have a “private Hell”? As the old country song’s lyrics say, some broken hearts never mend, some tears never dry. Sometimes our challenges are caused by others and we are seemingly powerless to change that. What can we do to try to bring solace to others who are suffering challenges in their lives? Will your ministering to others help them? Probably. Sometimes people are helped just by having someone to share their burdens with. Will it help you? Probably. Sometimes when we complain about our burdens we find others with burdens that make ours look small.

Why should we get involved in service to others? Since Jesus tells us should serve our fellow man it should be important to us. Where do we find people to serve? I looked out my window one day and saw limbs and leaves in my widow neighbor’s yard, a wonderful opportunity for service came to me and my wife. Probably most of us have opportunities for service in our own neighborhood. If you are looking for opportunities to serve others you will never be out of work to do. There are many community service organization that are looking for volunteers. My suggestion is you consider your training, skills and passions in life to determine where you serve. For example, I am handy with tools which led me to be a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity which builds affordable homes for low income people. There is a place for all of us to serve others and find purpose in life.

A Comparison of Two Large Religions – Christianity and Communism

Comparison of Two Large World Religions-Christianity and Communism

This blog will contrast and compare two of the world’s largest religious movements Christianity and Communism.  You might protest that any movement such as Communism that is Atheist cannot be a religion since the usual definition of religion includes worship of a personal God or Gods. Another definition of religion is ”a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance “, as quoted from Google. When I was a child, and we would pass vehicles towing boats on our way to church, we would joke that those people were on the way to the river for worship services. Surely they considered going the “Rivah” on Sunday more important than worshipping God in church. Those who control their subjects in communist countries consider it of supreme importance.

In Christianity there is a belief in a God who created man, the world and all things therein. Because of all his creations we, as Christians , own him our love devotion and obedience.

For Communism there is a denial of the existence of God. They replace worship of God with a counterfeit religion of devotion to the party. They also have leaders who are counterfeit Gods and are  promoted as our “Great Leaders” who the people are expected to adore.

For Christians God offers us the opportunity to live with him in a state o happiness, or salvation in a life after death, if we believe in him and follow his commandments.

Communists do not believe in any life after the present Their counterfeit worship it to devote themselves entirely to the communist Party.

Christians have a confession of faith which usually consists of freedom to profess faith in Jesus, God, repentance and baptism. Some only feel confessing of faith is necessary without the need to repent of their sins or be baptized. Based on my understanding of the Biblical Teachings of repentance and baptism I question whether this is counterfeit Christianity.

Communists take a different route. Their “confession of faith’ is allegiance to the party.

God gives people free agency to decide if they will believe in Him, Christ and also keep his commandments. When Christ taught on earth he taught us to love our enemies and never once did he force anyone to accept his teachings. There have been times in world history when people in some countries were forced to become, members of certain sects and even put to death if they did not comply. Whether this was imposed by Popes or Political Leaders for personal gain it was not sanctioned by God.

People in Communist countries do not have free agency. If they oppose communism they will be either tortured, killed, imprisoned, put in slave labor camps or re-education camps where they conform or end up in the other aforementioned situations.

The Bible is the Christians Guidebook for how they should conduct themselves. It is designed to bring happiness to those who follow it’s precepts and make them worthy of a life with God after this life.

The Communist Manifesto is Communism’s counterfeit Bible. Only it is not designed to bring happiness after death. It is designed to take away nearly all basic rights and makes everyone a slave to the party or to the leaders who live much better than the slaves.

The laws of Christian Nations are for the protection of the rights of all people. I recognize that there are evil people in governments in Christians Nations who use laws to persecute their enemies, even in the United States , but God does not fellowship those evil ones.

Laws in Communist Nations are set up to control the citizens and force them to comply with Communist Ideology and suppress freedoms.

Governments in Christian Nations are supposed to serve the people. When corrupt people get into office it is the responsibility of Christians to be informed and vote to remove these criminals or demand they be charged with a crime and removed from office. There are a lot of people in office who ae enriching themselves and need to be removed from office.

Of course in The Communist Religion people exist to serve the government. What that means is people exist to be slaves to the leaders. Once the leaders get into government they cannot be voted out by the citizens. Corrupt leaders divide up the treasury among themselves and the leaders, all being corrupt, protect each other from removal from office.

Christian Nations have been strong societies in the past because of the emphasis placed on families. So many studies have been done that show how much better people thrive in good strong families that only a fool would discount the value of the family.  That is one reason leftists have infiltrated our educational system from the Communist Religion to push “women’s rights” and LQBTQCLP+{Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer, Child Love Practitioners +]  to attempt to destroy the family and weaken the nation. The + is for any other sexual preference not coved by the first six in the list.

Communists have no regard for the family. As far as they are concerned people do not need to exist in families. They only exist to serve the state or their masters, “The Great Leaders”.

An Interview with the People to Re-elect Joe Biden Committee

This week the Forum interviewed John A. Dunce, who is the National Director of the People to Re-elect Joe Biden Committee. The Forum takes no stand on the positions of Mr. Dunce or the committee.

Forum: Thank you for being willing to be interviewed by the Forum Mr. Dunce. Our first question for you. Is the committee funded by the Democratic Party?

Mr. Dunce: Our organization is non-partisan. We accept donations from people of any political party. This is a grass roots movement of people who recognize the great work Joe Biden has done to benefit the world. Our members are excited about Joe winning the Office of President a second time.  Many people think he has accomplished so much for the United States and the world that he is already likely the greatest president we have ever had.

Forum: But are not the polls showing that Joe Biden has an approval rating of less than 40%?

Mr. Dunce: Our experts tell us that Fox News and the other extreme right wing and white supremacists’ groups have been manipulating the results of the polls.  Our own polls show Joe Biden has an approval rating of nearly 90%. Our sources, which we are not at liberty to identify, currently tell us the Justice Department is quietly investigating Fox News and the other white supremacist groups for spreading misinformation and indictments will soon be forthcoming.

Forum: With gas prices skyrocketing under Biden, negatively affecting millions of Americans, do you think this will have an adverse effect on Biden winning the next election?

Mr. Dunce: I think the increase in gas prices will help cement President Biden’s win next time. First, people realize the biggest part of the increase in gas prices was brought on by Donald Trump and his extreme right supporters. They were able to block investment in green energy to protect wealthy oil producers. If those on the right had invested in green energy, we would have plenty of cheap non- polluting energy right now. Joe Biden saved the United States from disaster. If he had not put the brakes on toxic fumes from fossil fuels many in the US. would be dead now. Most Americans appreciate the way the President stood up to wealthy oil producers and will vote for him again.

Forum: The President has invited millions of foreigners to come to the U.S. illegally, which has offended  millions of our citizens. Will that hurt Mr. Biden in the next election?

Mr. dunce: On the contrary. People in the U.S. have always been proud that the oppressed have been able to come here and become successful. We appreciate our great leader providing opportunities for the down- trodden. The people coming here have committed no crime. The only thing they have done is try to make a better life for themselves. Most people will be able to see through the white supremacist lie that they are breaking the law. How could making a better life for yourself or your family be breaking the law? Joe Biden has the support of most of the American People on this.

Forum: Due to the frequent changes in counsel to our citizens, suppressing information and bullying people who disagreed with federal health agencies positions, many have lost confidence in public health agencies. For instance, Dr Fauci was accused of suppressing an article suggesting a six feet social distancing rule was not effective in preventing the spread of Covid. Does this lack of confidence give the Biden Administration a black eye?

Mr. Dunce: We consider that article on social distancing misinformation. We only listen to science- based information. The Karl Marx Scientific Lab in New York did some research models and determined that 10 million more Americans would have died if it had not been for social distancing rules. Dr. Fauci has been a blessing to this country. He is meticulous in studying scientific data to make sure we get scientific facts rather than misinformation. Many will vote for Joe because he has brilliant scientific minds like Dr. Fauci to keep us safe.

Forum: Many Americans believe that Joe Biden did not win the last election. Others have been adamant that Joe won and consider any such argument insurrection. Recently an investigation proved that 137,000 ballots in Wisconsin were unlawfully trafficked. Does this change your opinion that there was fraud in our last national election?

Mr. Dunce: The news media have proven that the last election was the fairest in history. There were new laws providing new ways for people to vote which may have confused some. All the investigation showed was people did not know how to apply the new laws. The 137,000 represented legal voters and in order for us to have fair elections every vote cast should count. We feel that all votes should be sent by mail or that volunteers should collect the votes and take them to drop boxes because many poor do not know how to find the drop boxes and not doing so would discriminate against them.

Forum: One last question Mr. Dunce.  The Biden Administration wants to spend billions of dollars for climate control, environmental justice and global gender equality. With our country’s current National Debt, can we afford all this spending?

Mr. Dunce: The United States is the richest country in the world. The President should budget even more money to save our planet. We would have more than enough money to pay for these things if the rich would pay their fair share. We could have equity for all and there would be no poor among us. All the world’s people would be happy. The American People desire this and they will vote for Joe Biden overwhelmingly.  

Forum: Thank You Mr. Dunce for expressing your views.

Mr. Dunce: It has been my pleasure. I look forward to the time that we will have one world government preferably head quartered in Beijing, China and we will all be happy.  

This is an opinion blog for conservatives and people of faith and we will all try to be happy.

An Interview with the Director of the LGBTQCLP+Society

i

An Interview with the LGBTQCLP+ Community National Director

This week the Opinion Forum had an exclusive interview with Frank B. Gay the national director of the LGBTQCLP+ Society of America which we print for the enlightenment of the public. The forum takes no position on the views of My Gay or the Society.

Forum: Mr. Gay, would you explain the letters in the title of the Society and also some new letters that have been added, CLP, that we are not familiar with.

Mr. Gay: Sure. The L stands for Lesbian and are women who are physically attracted to other women, G stands for Gay who are men who are attracted to men, T stands for Transgender and they are people who are attracted to those born a different sex than themselves and also those born the same sex as themselves. Some refer to them as switch hitters, to use a baseball term. Q stands for Queer which is a term used for someone who is not sure where he or she fits in the LGBTQCLP+ spectrum. The CLP stands for Child Love Practitioners and are people who are attracted to children. The + is for people a little outside the usual LGBTQCLP spectrum. For instance, they might be attracted to animals or aliens. Like the Democrats with their “Big Tent” we want to be inclusive to everyone.

Forum: We are surprised that you include CLP in your organization since society is less willing to embrace CLP than the other groups in your spectrum.

Mr. Gay: CLP people should not be ostracized from our society. These are Dr.’s, lawyers, teaches, government office holders and people from all walks of life. They contribute a great deal to our society. They have families who love and value them. Many have their have their lives and careers destroyed because they love children. The only crime they have committed is loving children.  Just like some are born with an opposite sex attraction some are born with an attraction to children.

Forum: How should society deal with CLP people?

Mr. Gay:  One of most important things we must do as a society is to change laws allowing boys and girls to decide who they want to spend time with by the time they are 12 or 13. In the Jewish Community when a boy turns 13 he has all the rights and obligations of a Jewish Adult. Our laws should be changed to allow people 12 or 13 to have the freedom to decide who they want to associate with. We think that is a right guaranteed in the Constitution, that is. liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Right now, we are working with some elected officials, whom I am not at liberty to name presently, to propose laws to lower the age of consent to 12.

Forum: Should adults be charged with a felony for involvement with those under the age of 18?

Mr. Gay: That should not be a felony as long as there is consent. A lot of children are neglected or beaten in our society. An adult should not be criminally charged for showing love and concern for these children. A neglected child needs to feel someone loves them. The government is actually forcing CLP to register with the government and banned from working with youth when youth desperately need to find someone who cares for them.

Forum: What is your opinion of someone who is born male who wants to compete as a female in women’s sports?  

Mr. Gay: They should not be discriminated against because they were accidently born in the wrong body. All sports should be open to everyone regardless of their gender identify. It would be cheaper to only have one sport open to all rather than to have male and female sports. Some states have banned participation based on gender identification at birth. Our lawyers are preparing suits to ban this sexual discrimination. Also, some of our colleagues in public office are proposing a Constitutional Amendment banning sexual identification on their birth certificates. We feel a person should have a constitutional right to decide their own sexual identity.

Forum: What are the biggest obstacles to gaining gender preference acceptance and civil rights for LGBTQCLP+ citizens?

Mr. Gay: I would say it is Christians. They are the ones who supported slavery and the abuse of Blacks. Now that same type of bigotry is now being applied to those in our community. They claim to follow Jesus. But did not Jesus teach love and acceptance for everyone? Did not Jesus tell the woman who committed adultery that everyone is going to heaven no matter what we do?  What we are working to achieve, with our colleagues in political office is hate crime laws that will make it a felony to criticize or ostracize members of our movement. Our cause for civil rights for our people is just.

Forum: what is being accomplished to educate the public concerning the injustices committed against your community?

Mr. Gay: We are very excited about the work our colleagues in public education are doing to help our cause. We have met with the teacher’s unions and they pledged their support in getting Our LGBTQCLP+ story told. In spite of Christian Bigotry in trying to get books favorable to us banned from school libraries we are getting more books put in libraries telling of the discrimination against us. Those who write school curriculums are sympathetic to our society.  They are quietly writing our story from kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Our colleagues are also putting books on required reading lists that support us. If our efforts were in winning a war, rather than winning souls to our community, we would be crushing the enemy right now.

Forum: Mr. Gay. Thank you for telling your community’s story.

Mr. Gay: Thank you for the interview.

Karl Marx Returns from the Dead

My name is Frank Reporter. I am very frank. That being said you know you can trust what I tell you because I have always been very Frank. Five years ago I was elected President of the Main Stream Journalists Association. The term in office is four years and last year I was thrilled to be elected to another four year term. Our charter charged us with the responsibility of suppressing any news misinformation from being disseminated to the public.

What we have learned in the first four years of our existence is that nearly all of our member journalists detested Capitalism and were sympathetic to the theories of Karl Marx. Since then we have changed our charter to reflect the desires of our members and now are actively promoting Marxism and are attempting to suppress misinformation on Marxism from any source. We have made many alliances with like minded organizations such as the Democrat party, Teachers Unions, College Administrators Organizations, College professors organizations, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Main Stream Media, Hollywood, Businesses that make money selling to China or importing goods from China, nonprofits that help the poor and Green Earth Supporters. The alliances are not written agreements but rather informal agreements to consult together on the best ways to advance Marxism and to combat those who are using misinformation to discredit Marxism.

Some of this country’s greatest enemies spreading misinformation that harm Marxism are white people, also known as racists and white supremacists, married couples, straight people, Republicans, anyone whose ancestors owned slaves, Christians, Jews, Muslims, small business owners, Fox News, One American News and people who have worked hard and accumulated wealth. These people must be removed from our society or re-educated. We are excited about some of the things that we hope to accomplish in the coming years.

Something amazing has happened recently. As you know we Marxists do not believe in life after death. It is one and done when you are born. Somehow under some strange phenomenon Karl Marx was able to come back from the dead, or maybe he never died, and I was able to interview him and also answer some of the questions he wanted answers to. I recorded our conversation and am printing portions of it.

Frank: Mr. Marx does it surprise you that one billion of the world’s inhabitants are living in what we call Marxist’s countries?

Karl: what really surprises me is that the whole world is not living in the utopia I envisioned. Why has this not happened?

Frank: some of the countries in the world, such as the United States, learned how to accumulate wealth by enslaving others, Once the haves became addicted to wealth they selfishly suppressed the have nots by accumulating wealth and used law enforcement, the military and the courts to keep the oppressed in their place.

Karl: What is life like for those who live in a Marxist Country?

Frank: It is wonderful. The Great Leaders in these countries love the people and the people love them. They have stopped the stealing of the haves from the have nots. All the people own everything in common so there are no poor among them. As evidence that the people love their leaders, no leader has ever been voted out of office.

Karl: That sounds wonderful. What is being done to redeem the people still living under the evils of Capitalism?

Frank: Many people consider you the most brilliant man who ever lived for your understanding of oppression of the masses. You gave us a roadmap to follow in developing a utopian society. Some of your followers after receiving inspiration from you have found ways to improve on the revolution you began. In China those who oppose your utopia are sent to re-education camps where they stay until they are converted. It is rare to have to execute someone who does not become converted. In the United States those who oppress or offend racial minorities or sexual minorities are often sentenced by judges in courts to attend re-education classes instead of life imprisonment.

In Capitalist Countries it works better to divide people by race rather than income. And here is the best news of all. Revolution with guns will no longer be necessary to over throw Capitalism. Our people have infiltrated every institution in the United States from schools teaching K thru 12 through college. Your theories are taught and encouraged in the schools. After 16 years of being taught the utopian theories of Marxism the students know no other philosophy and become true believers and demand a Marxist Government. Our success has been beyond our fondest dreams in education. Surveys have indicated that most of the younger generation is favorable towards Marxism. And we in the news media are doing our part to suppress any ideas that conflict with your teachings. There is still much work to do but our friends and colleagues in China have shown us what is possible.

Karl: You have given me some wonderful news. Now I can go back to my grave and sleep in peace.

Disclaimer: Karl Marx did not actually come back from the dead.  This interview was symbolic. If it caused you stress wondering if there is life after death we are not responsible for paying for your psychiatric sessions. We are also not responsible for paying your medical bills if you hurt yourself after reading this blog. This is an opinion blog for conservatives and people of faith.

President Biden, the Pleaser

President, the Pleaser.

Should not that make the citizens of the U.S. get excited. Well we would be if Biden wanted to please the citizens of the united States, but he wants to please people from other nations. What has Blundering Joe done lately to please our enemies? Well, the Russians are making war against the civilians of Ukraine. Joe kept saying a Russian attack was imminent. What did he do while the Russians were massing troops on the Ukraine Border? Apparently he slept through most of the preparations. He is called sleepy Joe isn’t he? To further please the Russians he said we should not get involved because it might upset the Russians and they might attack us.

Does not that frighten you to have Joe Biden as Commander in Chief? If the Russians did attack us he might refuse to do anything because it might make the Russians mad. After all Biden is a pleaser when he deals with non-Americans. Then when Poland wanted to transfer Jet aircraft to the Ukrainians through U.S. airbases, so they could defend themselves, good ole Joe said no. He said it might offend the Russians. Another move by Biden to please our enemies. Remember when General Milley promised a Chinese General he would tell him if the U.S. decided to attack China? That tells us a lot about the Biden Regime. Milley should have been court martialed and charged with treason. Biden did not have any problem with Milley’s comments which probably pleased a lot of haters of the United States. Biden’s family makes a lot of money in Chinese Business Interests and apparently that is a lot more important to him than the interests of the Citizens of our country.

What else has Biden done to please our enemies? Our energy production has been greatly curtailed. Now Biden is begging countries who hate us to sell us more oil. That is sure to please our enemies to see the President of the United States groveling. Always the pleaser is Biden. And, of course, pleasing is what got us huge gas prices at the pump. Biden wanted to please the radical environmentalists who want the country to fail as well as the Radical Marxists in his party whose goal is to destroy democracy.

What about Biden pleasing millions of people from other countries who wanted to come to this country illegally? His bringing these people into the United States is not only illegal but is treason and he should have been impeached long ago. It will not happen because the house and senate is controlled by Democrats in his party, who being corrupt themselves, support his corruption.

Biden’s illegal actions are costing the taxpayers billions of dollars in welfare benefits in an already bankrupt country and of course we do not know how many Mexican Cartel Members he is bringing in. Expect even more crime and deaths of our citizens from drugs brought into our country by the cartels. Is Biden getting some pay from the drug cartels for pleasing them?

Biden did a lot of pleasing in Afghanistan. He pulled all our troops out of Afghanistan allowing the Taliban to take power greatly pleasing them. The Taliban had either exited the country or gone into hiding before Biden arrived. With our troops gone the Taliban were able to ride into town in pick up trucks and guns and take control. Biden, in an effort to be a world class pleaser, left the Taliban 80 dollars in military hardware. Now the Taliban will be able to travel in armored vehicles, no doubt, with gas supplied by China. Time Magazine should have an award for the Pleaser of the Year. Biden would get the award every year.

Biden has pushed through billions of federal spending with the support of corrupt Democrat Legislators. There is not enough tax money coming in through taxes to pay for his spending, so the government is borrowing money even though we have a national debt of over $90,720 for every citizen in our country. With so much money pursuing scarce goods the price of everything has skyrocketed. To add more pain the government is printing more dollars making your money worth less to buy goods B.D.(Before Biden). Even some Americans are pleased with Biden for doing these things. The people who depend on government contracts are pleased with a lot of money being spent on government projects of dubious value. Those who get the contracts do not care how the Biden Regime’s recklessness affects the people as long as their money keeps coming in. A lot of politicians are pleased by Biden’s actions. They get a lot of money from those who depend on government contracts for their income. We do not call it bribes because that would be too crass. We sanitize the money by calling it campaign contributions. Or is it money laundering? Can you think of other ways Joe is a pleaser?

What Can Save the United States

What Can Save the United States

The United States is like a human ravaged with cancer whose recovery looks hopeless. What are some of these cancers that are destroying the country? One is the destruction of the family, the basic unit in our society. When we have a mother and father who love and care for each other and feel the same way about children born to that union magical things happen. The children learn to love and care for each other from observing their parents. They learn to be kind and patient with others. Caring parents teach their children how to work by giving them chores at home and making sure they know how to do their assignment well to feel a sense of accomplishment.  The children will also receive satisfaction in achieving family goals. Some great bonding occurs in activities such as raking leaves, doing yard work or working in a family garden. Children who live in a traditional home with both parents fare better, while living at home or after leaving home, according to every study made of families. Children in two parent homes are less likely to commit crimes, drop out of school, have children out of wedlock or live in poverty after they leave home.

For those who do not have a traditional home environment through no fault of their own I applaud them for trying their best. If a person wants to give their children a better chance of success in life they should get married, then have children and stay with their spouse.  Many are choosing not to get married to their own detriment and for society as a whole. Some organizations are presenting non traditional families as equal in value to traditional ones which is false.  Even government agencies are joining in trying to devalue the family and even try to change the definition of what a family is. How much stronger would our nation be if we had more strong families. If people returned to God’s teachings on marriages and families and fidelity to spouse what an impact that would have on society.

The United States was founded by mostly Christians who believed in God and serving him. The Constitution and the Bill of Right embedded many of the teachings of Christianity on how people should be treated. Today a large percentage of our citizens have rejected God and his teachings. When this happens they only think of themselves rejecting the rights of others and voting into office politicians like themselves. We have many elected officials who are in office not to serve our citizens but to bring power and money to themselves. We see how the Chinese, after allowing the Communists to take over the government have lost their most basic freedoms. The Russians have voted in corrupt leaders and now it appears they have lost their ability to get rid of them. Could this happen in the U.S.? I understand over 50% of the population thinks there was widespread fraud in the last election and Biden did not win the election. The winning party and their allies in the news media push the narrative that there was no fraud trying to discourage anyone who had the audacity to want to investigate calling them conspiracy theorists. It seems to me if they were convinced there was no fraud they would not oppose an investigation that would prove it. Now in several states investigations indicate guess what? There was fraud. If that happened they will be sure to do it again. Then we become slaves to Marxists or dictators.

One theme stands out in the scriptures. When the people obeyed God he prospered them and helped them defeat their enemies. When they turned away from him he let their enemies prevail. It happened to the Jews twice

We cannot depend on our politicians to protect us. Many of them only want power and money and do not care about us. Look what happened when corrupt politicians gained power in China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. The people lost most of their freedoms. IS the United States next? God can vanquish even evil and corrupt leaders if we serve him. Sometimes when the people suffer enough they return to God. Will all the things we have suffered under the Biden Regime be enough to turn us back to God? It seems everything the Biden Regime has done was to weaken and destroy our beautiful country. We cannot control what others chose to do but we can commit to serving God or to become a more devoted follower. If we do we can make our country a better place to live. God bless America.

Radical Left Influence in the United States

Radical leftists have infiltrated every institution in our nation. Some are bought and paid for by our own money which goes to buy Chinese goods. The Chinese use some of that money to do cyber theft of our technology, to steal private information on our citizens, to bully smaller countries and to buy influence from crooked politicians throughout the world including our own country. Think Joe Biden. In Virginia the radical left has a lot of influence in education.  The leftist ideology including critical race theory which teaches white people are oppressors and Black people are victims  including the 1519 project alleging this country was founded to preserve slavery has been taught in Virginia. The education unions defended these false teachings which indicates that radical leftists have infiltrated and taken control of these unions. If you have children in the public schools they are at great risks of being indoctrinated with false teachings.

Our college boards are doing their part in attacking our educational system. The Board of the Community Colleges in Virginia is now on a vendetta against white men which works well with the Marxist Playbook of dividing people by class, but in the U.S. dividing by race works better for them. If I am not mistaken the Democrats appointed all the boards since they have controlled Virginia with their tyranny for a number of years. This is the party that embraced Bernie Sanders who wants to called a socialist buts every else considers him to be a Marxist.

The Community College Board was supposed to make sure Virginia has a quality Community College System, but instead they are changing the names of community colleges of people who served our state and nation. They are even changing the names of streets and buildings on campus to cancel out the white guys likely hoping it will cause contention among the races and help weaken our nation.

One of the names they want to remove is John Tyler, a Virginian, who was president of the United States. What did they come up with? Brightpoint. I could not find that word in the dictionary. It is very Marxist to slip in an ideological theme. As far as I can tell it is a made up name to fit a Marxist theme which they teach but do not practice meaning equity for all. The only way equity is practiced in a Marxist Society is everyone , but the leaders, is treated equality bad.  I thought with Youngkin as the new governor we could get rid of Marxism but even some republicans are trying to preserve critical race theory and other communist teachings. If the Republicans are like Democrats why should we vote for them?

Changing names of community colleges does not improve education but it does give community college boards a break from the hard work of making sure our community colleges are quality education institutions. Why do politicians appoint people to the boards that are only interested in ideology? The only reason I can think for this name changing is to support Marxist practices of cancelling people who they consider their enemies.

Let us tackle the issue of cancelling other people. They are taking the position that someone is not worth remembering. How arrogant! How hypocritical! How ungodly! Here we have a group of people who are likely badly flawed who are deciding someone else is flawed. I am sure all of them have done things they would not want the public to know about. Does not this make them unworthy to serve the citizens or to be remembered?

We can suspect they are not worthy to serve the people and not worthy of being remembered when they put their own ideology or of people who have control over them above the educational needs of the people of Virginia. Changing names of schools is not a hot button issue with Most Virginians but it is with Marxists.

Jesus taught about hypocrisy many times which indicates it is a sin that needs much attention. He taught not to judge others and I am sure that applied to the living and the dead. He also taught we should first be concerned about the “beam” in our own eyes rather than the “moat” in their’s. That is a sin in our lives could be compared to a wooden beam while someone we are condemning had a sin more like a splinter.

Did the members of the board ever hear Jesus’ teachings in their homes where they grew up? Did they hear them and reject them for the false allures of Marxism? These cancel cultists are condemning the ancestors of us Virginians. Most of us had ancestors who owned slaves. And cancel cultists are implying they are not worthy of remembrance. Members of the board should vetted now to determine if they have skeletons in their closets or ancestors who owned slaves. Then using their reasoning it would make them unfit to serve.

Jesus used the term hypocrisy towards people who accused others of evil when they did evil themselves. Today we also use the term virtue signaling for people wo think they are superior morally and expect others to believe that falsehood. We need leaders who will follow the teachings of Jesus and not ideologies that are contrary to the benefit of mankind.

Therapy for People Jilted by a Lover

Therapy for People Jilted By a Lover

Recently the Virginia Beach, Va. Aquarium did a therapy fund raiser for people who had been jilted by a lover. For $5 the jiltee could have a bug named after the jilter and watch on line as an aquarium employee fed the bug to a turtle. For those who needed more intensive therapy for $20 a rat named after the jilter would be fed to a snake. My issue with the rat to snake therapy is the aquarium would put the rat to sleep before feeding it to the helpful snake. It would seem to me that putting the rat to sleep defeats some of the purpose of the therapy. Would not the jiltee receive more closure therapy benefit in seeing the rat squirm?

Therapy is so expensive today. What a great way to get therapy at bargain basement prices! Fund raisers eventually come to an end. What a great way for a full- time business to be available whenever we need it for therapy. How many people might benefit from this quick, cheap, closure therapy? I once sent some money to an organization which would, for a small fee, name a star after the person of your choice. It gave me an opportunity to prove I had more money than brains. It also gave me the chance to show affection for my wife. This is a good example of someone who started a business to fill a need.

An inexpensive therapy business should not be limited to jilters only. Think of friends and family members who have done things that exasperate you. Mass murderers get the headlines but most murders are done to family members or people the murderers know. An inexpensive therapy business might actually save lives. Not only are homicides messy but courts take a dim view of such actions and give out long jail terms to perpetuators. A cheap therapy business might free many from these two aforementioned inconveniences.  

These therapies should not be limiter to jilters or friends or family. What about politicians who have tried to confine us to our homes for years? What about Dr. Fauci? Who wouldn’t want to feed Dr. Fauci to a giant Anaconda at least twice? Feeding people to a giant Anaconda is illegal {see Federal Law number 1.555.231} although a lot of people think it should be legal. But at least feeding them symbolically to snakes is legal and it would give us vicarious pleasure. Why not do the rat thing at every Trump Rally? It could be like a Super Bowl Victory party. Loud cheers would erupt as the lovable snake gulps down rats named joe, Kamala, Nancy, Adam or Hillary.

Disclaimer:

We are not encouraging anyone  to feed live people to a giant Anaconda. That would be illegal and when other people break the law will not accept liability as gun manufacturers are prone to do.

We will not be liable for any pain, suffering or emotional distress if someone is picked by others as a symbolic rat.

If Democrats make the claim that this blog is racist, we categorically deny there is any racial undertones, overtones or even tones in the blog.

We will not be liable for emotional harm if the person you symbolize as a rat, symbolizes you in revenge.  We take no responsibility for vengeful people.

If you are not experienced in handling snakes and it bites you causing death or injury we cannot be held responsible.

If you use a giant Anaconda and it eats you instead of your adversary we cannot be held responsible for your incompetence.

In states where bugs or rats are legally entitled to life, liberty  and the pursuit of happiness this therapy should not be done. We will not be responsible for the violation of the civil rights of bugs or animals.

In states where feeding a rat to a snake is considered cruelty to the rat or the snake this therapy should not be done and we take no responsibility for such barbaric behavior.

We take no responsibility for any emotional distress caused to people who think animals should have the right to vote.

We take no responsibility for emotional distress caused to people who have rats as pets and consider them members of the family

This blog is not suggesting that Joe Biden be fed to a giant Anaconda Snake and we will not be responsible if someone does.

We Need a State Constitutional Convention

A rally, called Rally in Tally, was recently held in Florida. The purpose was to urge legislators and citizens  to support a convention of states. This is a process under the Constitution  where states can propose amendments to the Constitution.. There are other amendments to the constitution passed by congress but none passed by a convention of states.{COS} According to Brenda Karlin, a regional director for COS in Florida, “the COS being passed by state legislators is calling for states to meet and propose Constitutional Amendments. There are three specific topics the COS is hoping to address. The first is term limits for Congress and the bureaucracy of unelected officials behind them. The second calls for fiscal responsibility. That means more than just a balanced budget. You have to have some fiduciary responsibility with our tax dollars, controlling spending, not spending more that you are taking in. The third would address federal overreach” If we had term limits there might not be so many millionaires becoming rich in government service.  Joe Biden is a good example.  He spent decades in public office and is now a millionaire. How does one become rich in government service? Maybe selling favors?In order for this to pass 34 of 50 states have to be on board. Currently 17 of the 34 states needed have called for a COS. This might be a close call considering how many Marxists have infiltrated the Democrat Partly and their propaganda allies, most of the news media. A COS might be our last ditch method of taking back our government from the Marxists short of an armed revolution.

The Democrat Politicians have been borrowing and spending like drunken sailors for two years. It should be a felony for any politician to propose a spending bill that requires borrowing money to pay for it. And when someone like Joe Biden tells the American People a bill will cost us nothing he should be jailed without bond. Put the politicians in jail. The country would be better off. At the end of 2021 the federal politicians have indebted us to the tune of $30,012,386,059,231. That mind boggling debt is over $30 trillion! That means every citizen owes $90,271. If you have a child this year, that child will come into the world owing $90,271! A debt ceiling was once set to keep politicians from spending “too much”. They have always spent “too much”. They have increased the debt ceiling 78 times from 1960 to 2020 to spend more than they are receiving in taxes. The United States is going bankrupt. When spending surpasses our gross national product as in happening now we are no longer create wealth but are creating debt.

How will the debt be paid? It won’t unless we get a COS to stop the crimes the politicians are perpetuating against the citizens. You are seeing Marxist Economics forced on the citizens. The Marxist have a favored way to deal with debt. They can print more money and pay bond holders with that money which will have less value than it had when the people bought government bonds. We have already experienced that under the Biden Communist Regime. The Biden regime printed a lot of money to pay for government programs. With all that money coming into circulation the dollars are worth less. Or did you notice price increases as things cost more due to the Biden Regimes actions?

Unlike the federal politicians who can give themselves a raise to compensate for inflation ordinary citizens will have to do with less. Who should we blame for bankrupting the United States? Is it the politicians who enrich themselves or the citizens who allow them to play with monopoly money? I am shocked that in spite of the gross incompetence of the Biden Regime, if not outright treason nearly 40%  of the population support Biden if you can believe latest polls.

For those interested you can go to conventionofstates.com to sign a petition supporting COS. This is a blog for conservatives and people of faith.
