Stand Against the Evil at the Gate



I find it interesting that the timeout on immigration from seven countries with ISIS strongholds is getting such a reaction. I'll bet these people lock their doors at night to protect their children. I'll bet they check out the parents of their children's friends before allowing their children to go play or spend the night with them. I'll bet they purchase homes in safe neighborhoods in which their children will play and select safe schools for their children. 
So when our duly elected President decides to secure the doors to our national home and check out those who want to live among us they become irrationally disapproving. 
I wonder if those unvetted immigrants were coming to their neighborhood would they be so critical of caution. Isn't it logical to admit those who want to assimilate into our country, respect and adhere to our Constitution, rather than those eager to spread Sharia Law throughout the world. The goal of ISIS (acronym for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is to create a unified, Muslim territory in order to enforce its extremist beliefs. ISIS also believes it will play a key role in an impending apocalypse, and its activities largely derive from that belief.
As CNN puts it: ISIS makes no secret of its ultimate ambition: A global caliphate secured through a global war. To that end it speaks of "remaining and expanding" its existing hold over much of Iraq and Syria. It aims to replace existing, man-made borders, to overcome what it sees as the Shiite "crescent" that has emerged across the Middle East, to take its war -- Islam's war -- to Europe and America, and ultimately to lead Muslims toward an apocalyptic battle against the "disbelievers."
And we are not to defend our country and our babies against this group who has declared WAR UPON US and upon whom we have declared WAR? 
I wonder where was the outrage when the Christians who were being persecuted within IRAQ and SYRIA and other Muslim countries were not a priority for our past president. 
The Islamic State’s desecration and destruction of historic sites of religious and cultural heritage is unprecedented in Iraq. In Mosul, ISIS has turned an 800-year-old house of worship into a place of torture. Churches in Mosul are also utilized as a prison and as a weapons storehouse.Religious minorities in Iraq are living on the edge of extinction. (“Edge of Extinction: The Eradication of Religious and Ethnic Minorities in Iraq,” 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative, http://www.21wilberforce.org/…/…/edge-of-extinctionfinal.pdf (accessed October 15, 2015)).
Fortunately saner heads have prevailed against our precious Snowflakes who lead with their hearts and not their heads. We must be vigilant to protect our grandchildren against the monsters who would pretend to be our friends while plotting our demise. And, yes, we must also defend our friends of the Muslim faith who might find these aliens thrust into their midst, unsettling their lives and indoctrinating their children with radical jihad masquerading (dissembling) as one who adheres to a true faith. 
Taqiya (Arabic: تقیة‎‎ taqiyyah/taqīyah, literally "prudence, fear, caution")[1][2] is an Islamic term referring to precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution.[3][4][1][5] Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. "action of covering, dissimulation"), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission.[6][7](Wikipedia) 
This practice is emphasized in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion.[3][8] However, it is also permitted in Sunni Islam under certain circumstances.[9][
As long as I have breath in my body, I will stand against the evil at the gate and will protect my children and grandchildren. I am glad my president is my ally.

---------------------------This response is from the son of dear friends of mine who works in the State Department. I am very proud of him. That said, I would still rather err on the side of caution. We can now make accommodations and go from here.  

"Sharman, I respect your opinion, but they are not unvetted, especially the refugees. The refugees are more vetted than any other entrant to the United States. The Christian element is also a fallacy. We had GOP officials come to find Christians in Turkey. Most were from Iraq but they had already been resettled in the United States. The executive order is like using a hammer to do a scalpel's job. It should have been run through the inter-agency and it could have been fine tuned without being as disruptive. For example, Yazidi, the very people who suffered the most in Iraq and who are not Muslims were prevented from boarding flights yesterday, despite having completed the full vetting process. it has also prevented Iraqis who provided assistance to our military and diplomatic forces from being admitted to travel. Furthermore, here at home, I know doctors from St. Jude's in Memphis who provide specialized cancer care to children who were unable to return from vacation because of this. How do we explain that to the patients and their parents? Security in our country is vital and Vetting is not 100% effective and never will be. That said, I think solutions can be found that do not overreach and paint everybody with the same brush."

I thanked him for his response and information, commending him on his service. 

He responded: 
"I have heard positive things from initial meetings of my boss with Tillerson. I also have huge respect for General Mattis. Unfortunately, the White House did not run this executive order through the interagency which could have helped avoid some of the headaches. I know folks want to "drain the swamp", but most of us are committed public servants who have worked for both Republican and Democratic administrations and the President could get some valuable input from us which doesn't sacrifice things like the fight against ISIS, etc. Thanks again for the kind words!"

The Strange Life Alignment of Roy Moore, Margaret Sanger, Julian Huxley, Hillary Clinton and Bill Gates meet at your ballot


"True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live."
 - Albert Schweitzer


 I am NOT A FEMINIST. I claim no kinship to Margaret Sanger, a founder of the Feminist Movement, the Eugenics Society and the Planned Parenthood Association.  But the tentacles of her life reach forth into the contemporary world and meet at your ballot box.












The hand reaching from the womb and Schweitzer's words affirm what science has learned about life.  I nearly wrote my Masters thesis on Margaret Sanger. That was when I considered myself an open-minded free thinker, an intellectual of sorts. And then I had children. The hand reaching out from the womb beckoned me because it reminded me that that developing little one was so much more than "ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny" as my old maid Biology had taught. 

If that fetus is life, then taking that life has a consequence far greater than say, squishing a mosquito or stomping a roach. It is more than simple tissue. That life carries the DNA of all who have come before and if one is a Christian, it carries a soul. And I wonder, just as I wonder when Reading, Adding and Subtracting became politicized -- how did the question of life become political?

Has being Pro Choice has become a litmus test for the Democratic Party? 



It's a basic question of human rights or so the Feminists say: 
Are women sovereign citizens in our own bodies? If your answer is no, the Democratic Party shouldn't fund your campaign.” writes Jill Fillipovic, a journalist based in New York and Nairobi, Kenya, and the author of the book "The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness." (CNN, August 5, 2017).

Not an original thought, apparently. Margaret Sanger is their hero.

And then there is the National Review take on the issue and Hillary Clinton’s words regarding Abortion.
“I believe there’s room in our party for a wide range of personal views on abortion,” Hillary graciously allows, noting her choice of “personally opposed” poster boy Tim Kaine as her running mate.”
 But when personal views on abortion become public actions — votes on legislation or judges or funding that erode women’s rights — that’s a different matter.”

So, in other words, when a legislator actually legislates or a judge actually judges, views on abortion must be tossed out the window. On this, Clinton sounds just like every other Democrat: increasingly radical and eager to denigrate conscience rights for the sake of protecting abortion access.

Hillary Clinton accepted Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award, named after the founder of the American Birth Control League, which changed its name to Planned Parenthood in the 1940s. In her remarks, Clinton singled out the namesake of the award for praise: 
Now, I have to tell you that it was a great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award. I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision ... And when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her.
Clinton lamented that "Margaret Sanger's work here in the United States and certainly across our globe is not done." 
Here at home, there are still too many women who are denied their rights because of income, because of opposition, because of attitudes that they harbor. But around the world, too many women are denied even the opportunity to know about how to plan and space their families. They're denied the power to do anything about the most intimate of decisions.


Ironically, one of the groups that supported Hillary Clinton throughout everything is the Black community. I wonder if they really know her views on abortion as they coincide with those of Margaret Sanger.

A statue remains in Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian Institution commemorating the one person responsible for the deaths of more African Americans that any other in history: Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.
“More than 19 million black babies have been aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our country,” according toMichigan Right to Life’s website. “On average, 900 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.” Planned Parenthood is responsible for many of those abortions.
Margaret Sanger speaks at a Ku Klux Klan Rally
In August 2015, a group of Black pastors gathered in front of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery to make known their plea for the removal of Sanger’s bust from the museum. https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/as-statues-come-down-smithsonian-refuses-to-remove-bust-of-black-eugenicist


 Please notice that the Euthanasia Society of America and Planned Parenthood had many of the same members and founders.  Their goals were the same. 





Mrs. Sanger, of course, wasn't the benevolent advocate for human rights that Clinton's remarks make her out to be. In fact, Sanger's "vision" for birth control seems to be united to a eugenic vision. She abandoned her husband who tried to please her. Her parenting skills were so poor neighbors had to come in to care for her three children. 

Sanger adopted a lifestyle known as free-love often with frequent lover H. G. Wells, author of twelve novels, including  The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and the Island of Doctor Moreau. Julian Huxley, author Brave New World was a good friend. 



In the October 1921 issue of The Birth Control Review, Sanger wrote that "the campaign for Birth Control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of Eugenics." Sanger laid out the "principles and aims" of the American Birth Control League in an appendix to her 1922 work, The Pivot of Civilization. Two and a half pages are devoted to the principles of the American Birth Control league, which begins: 
The complex problems now confronting America as the result of the practice of reckless procreation are fast threatening to grow beyond human control. Everywhere we see poverty and large families going hand in hand. Those least fit to carry on the race are increasing most rapidly. People who cannot support their own offspring are encouraged by Church and State to produce large families. Many of the children thus begotten are diseased or feeble minded. Many become criminals. The burden of supporting these unwanted types has to be borne by the healthy elements of the nation. Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our civilization are diverted to the maintenance of those who should never have been born.





Sanger wrote extensively, leaving ample documentation of her life. She founded Birth Control Review, published from 1917 until the early 1940s, and was either an editor or contributor to this publication during most of its existence. Sanger’s relationship with eugenicists was clearly expressed in the pages of Birth Control Review from its inception. Eugenics also ‘soon became a constant, even a dominant, theme at birth-control conferences’.




Sanger also made her eugenic views clear in her many publications, such as The Pivot of Civilization and Woman Rebel, stressing that birth control was not only ‘important with respect to controlling the numbers of unfit in the population’, but was the ‘only viable means to improve the human race’. For example, she wrote: ‘Birth control itself … is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives.’ She boldly proclaimed that birth control was the only viable way to improve the human race. And while in her later years Sanger redefined what she meant by the unfit, ‘she increasingly saw feeblemindedness, the bogey of all hereditarians, as antecedent to poverty and social organization in the genesis of social problems.’

Notice the connection of Leon F. Whitney, former executive secretary of the American Eugenics Society to Hitler. He endorses Hitler's sterilization program which is to be applied to 400,000 Germans considered defectives. He is in total accord with Julian Huxley, UNESCO's first Director-General and Margaret Sanger founders of the Eugenics Society and Planned Parenthood. 
So, where will they prove this agenda? Who will be their general?

Listen to his words. 

Let me repeat what he said  ..."First, we've got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people; that's heading up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a great job on new vaccines, health care [and} reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent."

What does that have to do with Roy Moore in Alabama? 

Let me quote Pat Buchanan: 
The lives of millions of unborn may be the stakes.

Republicans now hold 52 Senate seats. If Democrats pick up the Alabama seat, they need only two more to recapture the Senate, and with it the power to kill any conservative court nominee, as they killed Robert Bork.
Today, the GOP, holding Congress and the White House, has a narrow path to capture the Third Branch, the Supreme Court, and to dominate the federal courts for a decade.
Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36)

The House voted on Tuesday to pass a bill that would make abortion after 20 weeks illegal in every state in the country. Called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, it's based on the idea that a fetus at 20 weeks' gestation can feel pain.

Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
This bill amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime for any person to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the fetus is 20 weeks or more. 
A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, up to five years in prison, or both. 
The bill provides exceptions for an abortion: (1) that is necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman, or (2) when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. A physician who performs or attempts to perform an abortion under an exception must comply with specified requirements. 
A woman who undergoes a prohibited abortion may not be prosecuted for violating or conspiring to 

violate the provisions of this bill.

This bill languishes in the House. 

Guess who could bring it back to life?
