Abortion: Love's Labor Lost
Planned Parenthood continues its diatribe on the rights of a woman to her own body--notwithstanding that it's someone else's body they advocate killing; the employers of corporate America keep on yip yapping about the need for (illegal) immigration to balance the oversupply of jobs with the undersupply of labor; and Democrats and Republicans alike wring their hands over the drying up of Social Security.Whateva will we do? Whereva will we go? Frankly my dear, former Senator Zell Miller summed it up accurately:“How could this great land of plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed. Over 45 million since Roe v. Wade in 1973. If those 45 million children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security. Still, we watch as 3,700 babies are killed every single day in America. It is unbelievable that a nation under God would allow this.”
The legislators and voters alike, bereft of the common sense God gave the sea cucumber, are seeing with blind eyes their country swirling down the drain. Oh yes, we as a nation are still unbelievably prosperous. But our wealth glosses over the rot underneath, disguising it as effectively as lipstick on a pig. We have tons of money now, but that will be the final thing that goes when we've finished losing everything else. America isn't the shining city on a hill it used to be, it's more like a penlight. Generations ago, the oppressed that gathered on our shores for a shot at a better life embraced the responsibility as well as the rewards of opportunity and freedom. They forsook the old country for a new loyalty to their adopted identity. Now we just attract the greedy and the hate-filled.
Rioters in Mexico and in East Los Angeles demanded the "right" for free passage in these United States and they waved the Mexican flag in our streets as if they were a conquering army. Instead of outrage, we got politicians and civil rights leaders defending these actions in the name of welcome, compassion and diversity.
And still we kill millions.
When the secular humanists want to strike "one nation under God" from the record and delete "in God we trust" from our currency, in a way they are right. As a nation, we are not under God, He is under our feet. As a nation, we do not trust God, we trust in ourselves. So why be hypocritical about these words? The nation has traded wisdom for foolishness, has advocated death in the name of life, has promoted sloth in the name of compassion and pushed anything-goes immorality in the name of freedom.
And yet so many Christians keep on going up the down staircase as if they had hope for a bright future for America. Yes, there is a bright and shining future. I believe in God's mercy, His patience and His strength and He has left Himself a remnant of the righteous in America that honors and obeys Him. And America is terribly, terribly lucky.
So fight on you enemies of freedom and life and all you who laugh at what is good, noble, pure and right. Beware: the remnant is praying.
