Gay Scouts.

Recently I have been in several discussions.

In one of those discussions, I relayed my concerns about how it seems the “Homosexual lobby” seems to be trying to impose their will on people while whining that they are being targeted with the same kind of behavior.

Someone told me that I was “succumbing to the scare tactics and rhetoric of the conservative right.” So I took a moment and though about it and do you know what? That person, on MANY levels, was mistaken.

the main one is, I was NOT succumbing to anything. This is NOT just rhetoric. There are many examples all over the place from “Gays” suing businesses for not making them wedding cakes to gays marching protesting and even causing violence against people.
They claim that these businesses are promoting hate or prejudice when the opposite is true, they just have a different idea of what is moral. And thus "they HAVE to be wrong".
These are businesses and organizations that simply disagree with them… (Focus on the Family, Chick-Fil-A etc…)
But I think the most obvious example is The Boy Scouts of America.

Think about it, The BSA came out with a statement that they were thinking about ruling that the individual units could decide whether or not they would allow homosexuals to be in the BSA.

This was even before they limited it to boys so the idea was simply any Homosexual who wanted to be in scouting would be able to join a troop that was open to the idea of allowing gays in.

I heard a spokesperson for the Homosexuals involved in this, state, WITH HIS OWN MOUTH, that “this [allowing units to permit gays in to the units] would not be enough”.
A “HOMOSEXUAL LOBBYIST” said “THIS WOULD NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH”!
What else could the national center for BSA do? What else could homosexuals possibly want?
The only other option, the next step if you will is that the national council would FORCE units to accept gays. If this is not Forcing others to accept behavior against their wishes then what is???

Honestly think about it. The largest participants in BSA is the Mormon church. The Church, as far as I know, still considers Homosexuality (or Sodomy) to be a sinful behavior. You are telling them that they HAVE to accept gays in Even though it is against their religious beliefs.

This is not “fear mongering” and it is not rhetoric or hyperbole. And it is also not anecdotal! This is exactly what I have said it is. This is a bald faced attempt by the Homosexuals to impose their wills on everyone else in spite of what values morals or beliefs those others may have on their own.
This is denying people their basic freedoms to live life as they want to live it by forcing them to accept values that are against their beliefs.

This is what the gays want to claim people like me are doing but I want to take a moment here to state, I think gays ought to live their lives however they want to live. Their choices and the results of those choices are between them, their partner/s and God. I really have no place in there I am willing to "live and let live". But they are not.

If I were fear mongering I would probably be cynically stating that this is an attempt by the homosexuals to remake the BSA into an all Homosexual organization and exclude all heterosexuals. But I am not saying that. I am pointing out that there is no real consistency with their arguments. It is all a bunch of hypocrisy.

I do believe that the choice/s they are making is sinful (wrong). But it is their choice to make, I believe they will have to answer to God for those choices, and it does not matter how many people here on earth follow their views. God’s word and law is the same. It will not change just because some people want it to.

Now I am not trying to force homosexuals to be straight, again that is between them and God. They can live their lives however they want to, BUT I DO NOT want them teaching these values to my children, I do not want them forcing their views on me against my wishes and I do not want them to make the whole world like them.

They claim they value diversity but when you force everyone to be like you there is no diversity. By trying to make me and my kids turn into people like you, you are eliminating that which makes us all different.

So stop trying to change everything and learn to practice what you preach and celebrate that diversity that you claim to be so fond of.

What's guns got to do with it?

There were a few events that happened at the beginning of this year that really made a big impact in my life.

1. Sandy hook elementary school.
2. I saw the Hobbit.

How do these two link?

Well since watching the Hobbit that meant I HAD to re-watch the LOTR trilogy.
In the Two Towers, King Theoden had something very profound to say, and I think it fits very well with what happened in Sandy hook and in other places as well.

Speaking of the flowers that are growing on the graves of his father and grandfather and so on, Theoden says,
“Now [they] shall cover the grave of my son: Alas that these evil days should be mine. The young perish and the old linger, that I should live t see the last days of my house.
No parent should have to bury their child.”

He was right, NO parent should have to bury their child. I know some of the grief that a parent might feel at the loss of their child. My wife had a couple of miscarriages. And I know that it rips a hole in your life and in your heart.
The problem is that ever since then, the government and several national media personalities have been going on and on ad infinitum that this means we need more gun laws, bigger gun laws, stronger gun laws…

But Guess what! ALL those measures they want to put in place would have done nothing to stop what happened at Newton Connecticut. In fact many of these gun laws would make it easier for someone to bring harm to the innocent and the vulnerable.

We can see, if we bother to do the research, that many more crimes are stopped because of the presence of guns owned by law abiding citizens. I saw a recent sarcastic post on facebook that detailed the statistics of Chicago Illinois and Houston Texas.
The point that it was making was these two cities, very similar in size, economy and everything else had very different levels of crime and violence.
The obvious difference that might have been the reason was that Chicago residents were not allowed to own guns and there were no gun stores or anything in the city so they were vulnerable, while Houston is much more open to gun ownership. But there was onr little point (this is where the sarcasm comes in) that Chicago’s temperatures tend to be much colder than Houston’s THEREFORE the only reason that there can be any disparity is the temperature causes violence.

Any thinking person can see that for the silliness that it is. But unfortunately it seems that there are too many people who really do think that way. That is, they take a disconnected measure, something that has absolutely NO bearing on the reality that exists, and they try to claim that this is what we have to measure by.

Finally, Now the AP understands

I know that it has been a while (almost half a year) since I last posted anything. I would like to say that I have been super busy, but the truth is I have been lazy. Still I am back with some new stuff to say and I will now do so.

Last night, on the radio, I heard a lady with the AP come onto the talk radio and voice her opinion of what the government is doing, vis a vis, The recent actions of taking the phone records of AP reporters.
She was absolutely LIVID and she was not afraid to state so.

One of the things she was saying was essentially, “HOW DARE THEY!”

The host of the talk show tried to ask her about Benghazi, The “attacks” by the IRS on conservatives and the subsequent cover ups in those areas.
Her attitude though was, “those do not matter, they are not as important as this ‘egregious’ attack on the rights of free speech, through these actions, by this government.”

She even said as much.

But I would respond with this.

You ask “how dare they”? I will tell you how they “dare”.

They dare to attack your right to freedom of speech because they already attacked the right for people to bear arms and you said nothing, In fact YOU CHEERED THEM ON!
They dare to attack your free speech because they already attacked the rights of people to freely assemble and again you said and did nothing.
They dare to attack your free speech because they already attacked American citizenry with drones and military force denying them the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and YOU LET THEM.

Too often you have stood by and refused to report on the actions of this administration because you liked what they were doing. You liked the idea of disarming the citizens, you liked the idea of telling people who disagreed with you that they were wrong and you liked the idea of liberals being in charge without any kind of scrutiny when they screwed up.
That is how and WHY they “dare” to commit an “atrocity” like this.

Furthermore, Because they were allowed to attack the constitution in those areas it is only a natural progression to move on attacking other rights, as I and others have warned for a long time now.
We warned you this was coming and you said, "oh that is just fear mongering, this will never happen."

You have nothing to say about it. Because, you are part of the problem.

To paraphrase an old saying:

They came for the Conservatives and I did nothing because I am not a conservative,
They came for the Christians and I did nothing because I am not a Christian,
They came for our veterans and I did nothing because I did not serve,
They came for the gun owners and I did nothing because I do not own a gun.

Now they come for me, and there is no one to help me because all those who would, have already been taken.

In other words, You, my dear lady, are now reaping that which you have sown. DEAL WITH IT!
