Standing Idle, Watching a Holocaust

-
Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. The website of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum states “On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the victims of the Nazi era and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides.”
Genocide is defined as “the deliberate killing of a large group of people.” Today, as we honor and remember the victims that endured the horrors of Nazi oppression, it is fitting that we take action to prevent future genocides. It is fitting that we take action with the aim of ending a genocide that has been taking place in the United States since 1973.
 In 1973 a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States labeled the abortion procedure a 'right'. Roe vs. Wade was a dark turning point in our nation's history that has resulted in the death of nearly 60,000,000 innocent children. Imagine the entire population of California and New York combined. Now imagine that every one of those people were killed in cold blood in the name of convenience and “women’s rights”.
In this era of enlightenment and scientific advancement, how is it that we will not bring ourselves to recognize the life of an unborn child as just that - a life. In a time where a person is blacklisted and called a “science denier” for questioning man-made global warming, the beating heart of a tiny human is called a blob of tissue not worthy of protection. In a time where a man can claim he doesn’t “feel” like a man and instead wants to be a woman, a baby who can feel pain can be chopped up into pieces and thrown into a garbage can.
This is a reprehensible blot on a nation whose charter and goal is to protect Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. How far we have strayed from that charter and goal. Life is the first right. Without it, no other right matters. A nation that allows the taking of life from its weakest and most helpless citizens, cannot stay free for long.
“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God?  That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?  Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever…” ~Thomas Jefferson
So today, as we remember the victims of the Holocaust, it is up to us, the living, to take increased devotion to the cause of life. A holocaust is occurring right now in the “land of the free”, it goes by the name of abortion. And we bear responsibility for every drop of blood spilled if we do not speak out, if we do not act.

Peace Through Strength - North Korea & Iran vs. America

The world benefits from a strong America. 3 American prisoners were being held in North Korea. Take a minute and let that sink in. Americans were being held against their will in hard labor prison camps. Now those 3 men are free. North Korea and South Korea are seeing tensions relaxing. While just a few months ago, the world collectively worried that North Korea was about to try and obliterate something off the map with nuclear weapons, we are now seeing the very real possibility that they will sit down and consider relinquishing those nuclear weapons. America has pulled out of the ill-advised Iran Nuclear Deal . Instead of allowing them to continue developing nuclear capabilities with “supervision”, the US will now reimpose strict sanctions against a country that is a state sponsor of terrorism around the world. As much as Trump would probably like to take credit for all these advancements, many, many people have been involved and working hard to make these things ha

Equality: Missing the Key Word

  What The American People Need to Know Equality, Marriage and  the Supreme Court America was watching as the Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the Obergefell vs. Hodges case on Tuesday. A case that could determine the fate of marriage in America. This may seem like a complicated subject on the surface, but I’ve broken it down into what I believe are the main three distinct areas of argument and attempted to give a simple answer to each. The three areas are: equality, the definition of marriage, and the court’s role vs. the people’s. So let’s jump into this - equality. Twitter has been abuzz with#equalityforall. But there is an inherent flaw with people’s understanding of the whole concept of equality. They are missing the key word. All men are created equal. Given certain rights by their Creator. And government’s purpose is (supposed to be) to protect those rights (see the Declara

Climate Change: The Death Knell for the GOP in 2016?

-
This week, the Pope visited President Obama at the White House. He gave a speech and addressed some very pressing issues facing both America and the world as a whole. In his speech he lent his support to President Obama’s regulatory program aimed at climate change. He avoiding spending much time on social issues (e.g. abortion, marriage) instead offering an endorsement of Obama’s policies on the environment. Pope Francis said, “I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history.” Yes, climate change. An issue that many are saying could end the Republican party’s hope for the presidency in 2016. A few of the candidates have received criticism for remarks on this subject at the last presidential debate
