THE CATHOLIC DEBATE ON OBAMACARE

Democrats are excellent at political "bob-and weave".  Democrats are not comfortable with ethics and morality! Smoke and mirrors are needed by the magician in the Carnival, and Democrats are masters at that also. They have an agenda, and are willing to take whatever action is necessary to accomplish the intended goal.  The goal was to pass the current obamacare law.  Nancy Pelosi proudly said the law should be passed without reading the law. It was!  Now we are beginning to see the details that had been there all along.  The Catholic church has just been informed that they will be responsible for paying certain 'health-care' expenses that are contrary to Catholic beliefs.  The Catholic church has balked, and it appears that the President has blinked.  Or has he?  NO WAY.  The President has done the political "bob-and-weave", and the Catholics have seen his deceptive tactics.  They have responded openly by calling him on the deception, and they are firmly standing their ground on principle.  Now, as they always, they have throw their smoke and mirror approach.

The entire Democrat machine has changed the topic from one of ethics and principled decisions by the Catholic Church, and they have made the conversation about a side issue.  Now the Catholic church is on the defense, defending a position presented by the Democrats without a basis in reality.  The issue was whether or not the Church should pay.  Now, the Democrats have made the Church against the issue itself!  That is wrong, immoral and totally unethical...but it is the game-plan of how they operate!  There seems to be no way the Catholic Church can win on this issue since the media supports Democrats.  The Church does not want to pay for ending the life of a pre-born baby.  THAT is their principled position. Instead of arguing for the Church paying, the Democrats now argue that the Church is against ending the life of pre-born babies.  The Church IS against that also, but they have never been forced to pay for that procedure.  Now they are being forced to pay, and the Church does not want to pay.  THAT is the discussion at hand, and I say the Catholic Church should stand firm against paying for the procedure.  They have a proven track record of standing FOR LIFE while not condemning women who have had abortions.  The Democrats will not stop short of getting their way, and I encourage the Catholic Church to stand firm.
AN OVERVIEW:

As I begin this new world of blogosphere, I want to provide a mall glimpse of me to new readers.  Hey, since I am new at this, then anyone reading now is NEW to ONE VOICE.  But my desire is that ONE VOICE becomes a familiar blog for you.  I am not wanting to entertain you.  Not at all.  Quite the contrary, I want to challenge you, admonish you, inform you and motivate you to action.  If you simply read and do nothing, you have wasted your time.  I did not say you wasted my time.  I am under compulsion to write.  I want my voice heard loud and clear as far as possible.  So, if 10 people read and 1 takes action, I am pleased.  If 1,000 read and 1 takes action, that is one more than would have taken action if I say nothing.  So, if YOU read and do nothing, it is your loss!

Now for some samples of my opinions.  I will glean news stories on a daily basis, and will write as often as possible.  Here is where I stand on some current issues.

LOBBYISTS
In 2008, I ran for State Representative.  My platform was very conservative, and I was TEA-Party before there was a TEA-Party!  I say lobbyists should provide information ONLY, and they should not be allowed to give anything in any manner to elected officials!

EDUCATION
Public education was hijacked in the 1930's by people with an agenda who were willing to lay the groundwork, knowing that it would take several generations to fulfill their goals.  Hitler had the same basic "idea", but he was anxious. He wanted to see the fruit in his lifetime.  He lost, and Dewey and those with him seem to have won.  The public schools are dominated by the philosophy of Humanism, which has been ruled a religion by the U.S.S.C. (Supreme Court).

HOPE FOR AMERICA
I am convinced that the single most productive solution for America is  the generation of home-eductaed children from the 1980's forward.  When those young adults become active in the political arena with conviction and morality, perhaps the Country will have a chance!

CONGRESS
I say that, out of the 535 elected officials in Congress, most should be arrested for their activities as elected officials.  During the obamacare debates, the President actually bribed elected officials for their votes.  That is a criminal act, yet nothing was done.  I sent a letter of complaint to the Capitol Police and the FBI, only to have a sarcastic official tell me I need to check the definition of bribery.  Years ago, Bill Nelson's office sent me to the Capitol Police, and it took me 5 months to get a letter from the Chief of the Capitol Police, clearing me!  Then I was told by Representative Dave Weldon that the Capitol Police TELL our elected officials  to send complaining citizens to them (CAPITOL POLICE)!  So, WE THE PEOPLE seem to have no recourse. 

CURRENT ADMINISTRATION
I still say he is not qualified to run for President.  To me, it is simple.  If he had a legitimate birth record, he would have shown it years ago and put it to rest.  Instead, he has spent millions to keep it hidden.  There is no such record! He has hired corrupt people who have no desire to make our Country better.  They refuse to defend current laws.  They ignore Congressional subpoenas. They lie as a routine.  They have no respect for our heritage, and they have gone around the world making apologies for the United States of America.  Even the President has said that America has acted arrogant at times.  Pride in who we are and what we have accomplished is totally acceptable.  Arrogance has never been an accurate way to describe the USA before obama! In early 2012, the President said that wealthy people should pay higher taxes as a way of saying 'thank you for allowing me to live in America'.  The list is endless as to how corrupt and inept the current Administration is.

BIPARTISAN
When a political Party loses control of the House, Senate or the White House, they begin to talk of being "Bipartisan'.  The LOSER wants this "Bipartisanship".  That is because they lost control.  I say the candidates run for office in their respective Districts and States. The winners march into the Congress and make decisions.  The Majority Party has control and they are responsible and accountable for the decisions made while they are in control.  As a direct result of those decisions on America, at the next election, WE THE PEOPLE make the decision if WE are pleased with the direction that Majority Party is taking us.  I say they should quit the whining and get to work for the people.

INTOLERANCE
People who talk the loudest about tolerance are usually the most intolerant.  Democrats are the worst!  They brag about a woman's right over her body for an abortion, yet they refuse to allow conservative voices the right to protect the life of a baby.  Black Americas are allowed to say anything, any time under any circumstance about Caucasian Americans, without fear of being held accountable.  If and when a Caucasian American makes a single comment, it is as if their life has been terminated.  Intolerance leads to the word "offended" which i another way of whining in public.  Get over it.  Grow up and let your voice be heard as others have that same freedom.

RELIGION
The intolerance issue shows itself openly in America in the arena of freedom of worship and the First Amendment.  Christians have taken a backseat to this freedom, and I am ONE VOICE saying enough is enough.  We see lawsuits all around the Country reducing Christian influence.  Christmas holiday has been renamed. In June, 2011, a Texas Judge ordered a high school not to do anything religious, and threatened to put the Superintendent in jail if anyone did!  Oh there is so much on this one. Muslims and Atheists have more protection that does the Church in America today.

 "MODERATE MUSLIMS"
People are constantly asking why it is that "moderate" Muslims do not speak out against the terrorists, jihadists and militant Muslims.  The answer really is an easy one.  It is a proven fact that the terrorists have killed their own Muslim brothers.  That is an established fact!  So, suppose these "moderate", "peace-loving" Muslims speak out against the terrorists.  Then suppose that Americans continue own spineless and cowardice way of trying to 'get along' with people who want to destroy our way of life.  At some point, the terrorists will defeat us on our own soil, and we will become a Muslim country under Sharia Law.  At that point, the new regime under terrorist leadership will kill those 'peace-loving', 'moderate' Muslims who spoke out!  I say the reason ANY so called 'peace-loving, moderate' Muslim remains silent is because they see Americans as being weak and unwilling to stand up against the REAL terrorist! They see us as being cowards in the name of tolerance, and they are therefore certain that our cowardice will lead to our defeat and their death!  I say that when America really does stand up firmly against Islamic terrorists, then we might see those American Muslims stand by our side.  Until then, they will remain silent for the sake of their own necks!  So, the responsibility falls on AMERICAN COURAGE.

I proudly admit to being opinionated!  I make no apology for being opinionated.  I am able to speak my opinion and support my thoughts with accurate information.  This blog will be more of a NO-SPIN zone than Bill O'Reilly!  He repeatedly allows his guests to spin answers and avoid tough questions.  I will use this ONE VOICE to be just that!  I pray that others will stand up and speak out as a result of reading these comments.  Now it is time for me to start sending out blogs!

What to expect

This blog is years in the making.  I have been a voice for so many people on so many levels, but I have never put my thoughts in a blog.  For many years, I have been writing  'letters-to-the-editor', and have had them printed in numerous newspapers across the country.  Just this week, Bill O'Reilly had John Stossel on his show.  Stossel had a creative idea and O'Reilly loved it.  I have been saying that same thing for over a year! 

With this blog, I will put my thoughts in print.  I will challenge.  I will admonish and I will call out wrongs. I will also give answers and hope.  As you read, it is my desire that I whet your appetite to speak up and be a voice yourself.  I will be a voice for Christians being PERSECUTED.  I will be a voice for WE THE PEOPLE who have been more than fed up with elected officials.  I will be a voice for practical daily living, and I will be a voice for restoring honor in America and in American  families.  Our Country has such a rich heritage, and we have all but squandered it away with our arrogance and greed and irresponsible Government. Let's get started

Join me as I present ONE VOICE.
