ISIS, US Border, Americans

Let’s go back in time shall we?  Build a wall on the southern border of the United States.  People were up in arms.  Most of the people against the building the wall were not and are not now, living in a border state let alone right on the US – Mexico border.

Yet with their infinite wisdom, ill informed “facts”, and mightier than thou attitudes, these people and all their stopped closing down the border.  No one ever intended for the border to be complete closed, incurring self isolation.  Closing the border was to help eliminate, curtail the entrance of unauthorized crossings not at stationed border crossings. 

My opinion then and is the same today, we have Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and National Guard to protect us; put them on the border.  Protect us.

With all the side stepping, false information, twisted facts and partial truths, there has not been a push or urgency to provide adequate  protection or enforcement stopping people from crossing the border illegally.  Now time is of the urgency.  ISIS has communicate via social networks, it is a good time to use the southwest border of the US to enter the country unnoticed.

It’s not to late to push a plan and execute the plan to protect our country!

Rape Is No Joke, Yet Some Laugh

Yet again another person in the public eye minimizes rape by referring to rape in a joking manner.

LeAnn Rimes in a recent interview with Joan Rivers state she (LeAnn) had sex for the first time when she was 15? Or 16.  LeAnn goes on to joke that she “raped” her boyfriend.

Okay, we know what she means, she wanted it so bad, she came on to her boyfriend in a rather strong and/or aggressive “got to have it” manner.  But to joke and say it was “rape” is just not right.  Rape is a serious topic.  It is not something to joke about, demean or blow off.

And dear Miss LeAnn, you did exactly that, you joked, demeaned and made light of a very serious subject.  I for one, suggest you think before you speak.  Choose your words carefully.

To use words such as LeAnn did maybe okay within your tight knit group of friends while you are sitting around chatting.  But to make a statement like LeAnn did in public and for the world to see is WRONG!

Unfortunately, you can’t take it back.  You could apologize, but what good would that do?  Your apology will not be covered by the media as highly as your indiscretion was, no, it would be on the “back page”, “in small print”, “in the lower corner” where no one reads or notices.

Chalk one up for inexperience, immaturity and not thinking above herself.

Removing Bibles?

So it has been reported and confirmed, the United States Navy Exchange Command has removed the bibles from the Navy Lodge.  That’s right, next time you are there, do not expect to open that night stand and see the Good Book.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed a complaint with the Navy Exchange regarding bibles in the lodging facilities.  As it has in the past the FFRF are trying to bully their views on other people, organizations, companies, and government agencies or affiliations.  Unfortunately, the Navy Exchange Command made a decision to remove the Bible from the Navy Lodge rooms.

We have seen on the news of late, one instant and another of Christians being persecuted throughout the world.  In Iraq, Christian women and children on a hillside surrounded by religious persecutors;  Iran is holding hundreds of Christians in jails for the only reason these people are Christians.  Where is the FFRF in these instants?  Obviously not yelling and screaming for religious or anti-religious reasons but how about for reasons of humanity.  Yet, if it was non-believers or devout atheists, they would be yelling and screaming, begging for help to rescue these individuals.  Why not now?  Because, the FFRF is performing a type of religious persecuting here in the United States as other religions are doing around the world.

Gideons International provided – donated copies of the Bible to the Navy Exchange to be put in the lodging facilities.  Gideon International also provides the Bible to schools and to hotels free of charge.  The Navy Exchange did not pay for these Books.  If other organizations provided – donated the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the Tipitaka or any other religion’s sacred book, I am sure most if not all hotels, schools and military establishments would offer the books the same as they do for the Holy Bible.

FFRF is against all religious books?  When why have they not gone after the removal of all religious books, texts and symbols as they have done against Christians?

I hope not only do all Christians, but all religious people call the United States Navy Exchange and file a complaint about the removal of the Holy Bible from their lodging facilities.  It won’t stop with just the Christian; the persecution will continue until atheism becomes the bases for the only religion allowed to exist without persecution.

Stand up for your rights, stand up for other’s rights, just because you may not agree with their religion, you at least should be protecting the right called: Freedom of Religion.

When Did You?

When did you last check the list of current bills in your congress? I check once a week, at the least. This is very important. It is your responsibility to know what is going on in your state. For most of us, growing up there has been one common rule we have all been taught. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.
The same is true with new laws. However, now with the advent of the internet, the ease of access to government/congressional activities, you should be up to date with what is pending and/or suggest for new bills. Most state websites have a link or search bar for checking on the status of bills. Pick a subject and most likely you will find a bill pertaining to that subject.
Be sure to take the time to contact your Representatives/Congressmen and women how you feel about the proposed bill(s). Good or bad, agree or disagree, send an email. Before you send an email, take the time to articulate what it is you mean to say, keep it short, to the point and above all, whether you like or dislike the person you are emailing, be respectful. Name calling, cussing, and being disrespectful will get you no where, it will not help your cause. If you can give suggestions that could make the bill better; and not better just for you. Remember, new laws and regulations are for everyone. Think what would be best for your community and society as a whole.
Folks, this is YOUR responsibility. If you didn't vote, you have no cause to complain. If you don't keep track, stay informed, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Right now, in most states, there are at least 2 or 3 bills concerning 2nd amendment rights. Read them, understand them. Don't take someone's word for the information you are accepting as fact. You can look it up. Fact is not a newspaper article, fact is not a post on a friend's social network page, fact is fact, not an opinion meant to be taken as fact. Look it up yourself and read the bill. If someone tells you a "fact", ask for the link so you can read it for yourself.
Please, take the time to check on the bills, take the time to read the bills, by doing this, not only will you be well informed and able to make an honest opinion based on facts but in a lot of cases you will be one step ahead of your state congress.
