Do you know what it means to veto a bill passed by Congress?
Do you know what a Congressional fillibuster is? Do you know what it is to keep at it, despite a president's pen?? For years they had the opportunity. And they did
nothing. And we let them do NOTHING. "Oh, we're working on it", they all assured us. Ha! They knew there was no chance for re-election if they so much as touched pro-life with a 10-ft. pole. Their object is to get re-elected, not to "promote Christian values". Why would non-Christians promote "Christian" values? As if "conservative Republican" somehow automatically equates with "Christian"?? Err.... What reality show have you been watching? I'm not a Democrat because I believe its secular platform is "Christian" or not "Christian". I believe in the working man and what he stands for, that's why.
Do you know that NOTHING happened to pro-life when two conservative Republicans held the exact SAME PEN???? The best Bush 2 could do is dial back late-term abortions. That works out to about 20 babies saved each year, out of
millions. I'm very thankful for that little bit, too. But that's all he
would do, and yet I distinctly heard him say he was a Christian. Which is why I voted for him, because of that hope. Once. Even he wouldn't push it to the next level. WHY? Because the PEOPLE want it. (So much for 'the vast majority of the country are "conservative'", huh?) If the American public were conservatives there would be no pro-choice today. Face it. Congress doesn't determine the people. The PEOPLE determine Congress, whether they want to face taking the responsibility or not. It's on
our shoulders. Not the "liberals" which amount to nothing more than someone to blame, in order to avoid taking responsibility for our own pathetic lack of action. Thank God that the Christian social message has since changed from "hate the sinner" to "love the sinner, hate the sin". I'm deeply thankful for that, too. More desperate women are now being loved into the Kingdom instead of being thrown from it in shame and disgust.
Do you remember that NOTHING happened when we had a Democratic president yet there was a conservative Republican-dominated Congress with their leadfoot on the gas pedal?
Somehow I don't think some people could ever possibly accept that for what it is. The reality. Would it be too much of a stretch for their conscience to handle? It remains to be seen, doesn't it? .
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16b)
