Your Tax Dollars Encouraging Teens To Be Promiscuous

Tax Payer Funded Planned Parenthood Tells Teenagers, 'It's Great to be a Slut.'

...Let’s see how encouraging teens to be promiscuous plays out for Planned Parenthood:
- Millions of taxpayer dollars in PP bank accounts
- PP executives in top 1.5 percent of household incomes nationwide
- Kids brainwashed by “sex positive” messages
- Kids become sexually active at very young ages
- Their health is ravaged by STDs (more money for PP)
- Out of wedlock pregnancies result
- Planned Parenthood goes in for the kill—abortion—generating much, much more money
- Repeat the scenario over and over
- Planned Parenthood gets filthy rich
- Kids corrupted by Planned Parenthood
- Wedge driven between parents and children
- Kids’ souls stolen by sexual promiscuity
- Their health ravaged by STDs
- Hearts deadened by multiple hook-ups and resultant heartbreak
- Kids depressed and suicidal
- They engage in drug and alcohol abuse
- Children/grandchildren killed inside Planned Parenthood facilities without the knowledge or permission of adult family members
- America stands on the precipice of depopulation and financial collapse due to lack of younger workers to support an aging population


Now let’s see how this plays out for families:

- Families have no money because the government gave it to Planned Parenthood
- Kids corrupted by Planned Parenthood
- Wedge driven between parents and children
- Kids’ souls stolen by sexual promiscuity
- Their health ravaged by STDs
- Hearts deadened by multiple hook-ups and resultant heartbreak
- Kids depressed and suicidal
- They engage in drug and alcohol abuse
- Children/grandchildren killed inside Planned Parenthood facilities without the knowledge or permission of adult family members
- America stands on the precipice of depopulation and financial collapse due to lack of younger workers to support an aging population

Avoiding The Cross Is The Essence Of The Demonic

"Avoiding the cross is the essence of the demonic." - Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen  
Why, in our modern world, is there a refusal to accept the Cross?  Why do so many Christians accept the Trinity or the Resurrection of Christ, and yet balk at His Cross?  They know that His Death and His Blood are what saved us from sin; yet they accuse Catholics of placing too much emphasis on the Cross because we display crucifixes in our churches, homes, and schools, and because we say that the Mass is the same Sacrifice as the Sacrifice of the Cross.  Why does Western Civilization embrace "Christ without the Cross"?  Why does our modern world try to turn Christ "into a 'Communist Commissar' who promises nothing but bread"?  Why does our modern world want "the Christ without the Cross . . . a weak, effeminate Christ unable to save us from sin"? Why, even as Catholics, do we shrink from viewing the Mass as a Sacrifice and want instead to speak of it as a sacred "meal"?  Why do we turn away from the Crucifix, why do we replace the Crucifix with the strange figure of the Risen Christ bursting forth, not from the tomb, but from the cross? 

What does it mean that our modern world only wants Christ as long as they don't have to have His Cross, too?  What kind of Christ is this that the world wants?  In The Priest Is Not His Own, Sheen explains what Christ is reduced to when the world accepts Him but refuses to accept His Cross:    
None of those are the true identity of Christ; He is our Savior, our Redeemer from sin, Who came to earth to suffer--on the Cross--in atonement for our sins.  The Cross is the instrument on which Christ won salvation for us through an excruciatingly painful death, and showed the height of His Love in His Sacrifice for us.  This is why we refuse to accept the Cross: we're uncomfortable with that for which it stands.  Just as a heart is a symbol of love, so too, the Cross, at its most basic level, is a symbol of pain and suffering, as Sheen explains in The Eternal Galilean:    
This problem of pain has a symbol, and the symbol is the cross.  But why is the cross typical of the problem of suffering?  Because it is made up of two bars, one horizontal and the other vertical.  The horizontal bar is the bar of death, for death is prone, prostrate, flat.  The vertical bar is the bar of life, for all life is erect, upright.  The crossing of one bar with the other signifies the contradiction of life and death, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, pleasure and pain, our will and God’s will.  The only way a cross can ever be made is by laying the bar of joy against the bar of sorrow; or, to put it another way, our will is the horizontal bar, God’s will is the vertical bar; as soon as we place our desires and our wills against God’s desires and God’s will, we form a cross. Thus the cross is the symbol of pain and suffering.   
And what would Christ be without the Cross?  Another teacher like Buddha or Lao-tzu; a sociologist spreading whipped cream on socially disapproved behavior; a psycho-analyst reducing guilt to a complex and banishing sin as a "hangover" from savagery; a preacher too polite to mention hell or divorce; a reformer for whom all discipline is masochistic and who proclaims self-restraint and moderation as unnatural and in conflict with the biological urge to self-expression.

Excerpt from the Theological Librarian's post on "The World's Response to the Cross."



It Takes A Certain Kind Of People, Living Indispensable Virtues, To Make The Market And Democracy Work


'Missing greatness,' it turns out, is not just a function of who’s in charge. It’s a result of democratic citizens’ not paying attention. Or worse, it’s the result of citizens’ suffering such severe ideological glaucoma that they cannot see what is in front of them.  

And even if our cultural slide into a cheerful Gomorrah is not, as my second correspondent suggested, 'irrevocable,' the effects of the culture of the imperial autonomous (and government-subsidized) Self on our politics must be reckoned with, as Republicans, conservatives, and all those who felt a real emptiness settling upon them at 11 p.m. EST on Tuesday night think through the economic reconstruction, the restoration of fiscal sanity, and the exercise of global responsibility that must be part of a post-Obama America, now unhappily deferred until at least January 2017....  

It takes a certain kind of people, living certain indispensable virtues, to make the market and democracy work so that justice, prosperity, and human flourishing are the net results of freedom. That elementary truth — recognized by the Founders, ignored by the newly reelected administration, and avoided by libertarians and Republican campaign consultants — has to be at the center of the conversation about the American future, and about playing good defense during the next four challenging years.

Post-Election Thoughts

"It is going to be very difficult for us to win elections in a nation that is so dependent on government. This victory was not secured last night. This victory was secured in the 1930s when Franklin Roosevelt passed Social Security... 
The United States of America is passing away...the world is passing away. Jesus Christ is still on the throne, despite who is in the White House. We cannot lose heart, especially as pro-lifers, as Christians. 
Continue to run the good race knowing that your cause is just. Only through prayer will this country be transformed." 
- Rushad Thomas

Massive Voter Fraud Reported in South Florida

At this same polling station, certain other individuals, whose signatures failed to match the voter data, were asked for address information. If the voter responded with either erroneous address information or didn't know their address, the poll worker then, according to Mrs. Sori, turned the computer screen towards the person in order to verify the address in question, which is also clearly against voter laws in Florida.

In other instances Mrs. Sori witnessed individuals, whom she had recognized earlier, coming in for a second round of voting later that same day in addition to busloads of individuals being transported in from other areas of Broward County. In one particular instance, Sori interfered with the repeat voter by confronting the polling site manager. The individual then admitted that he had voted earlier that day and was sent on his way. The problem was only exacerbated by the fact that Mrs. Sori and her follow poll watcher witnessed these instances of voter fraud repeatedly throughout the following three days of early voting in Florida.
