Refugee Crisis


Right now in the current news cycle there is much discussion of whether or not to take in a whole lot of Syrian refugees that are supposedly fleeing ISIS. Most of the Democratic politicians in the news these days are for accepting them. In fact, Hillary Clinton suggested she would take in 65,000 versus the 10,000 that the Obama administration wants. Ted Cruz suggests we might want to allow the “Christian refugees” access to our land. Such lunacy needs to be addressed by our Congress and the American people in general if we are to preserve our way of life and protect our citizenry.

I’m all for helping our brothers and sisters in their time of need—if it is legitimate. We have no way of “vetting” all of these people as Hillary suggests we do. To be honest, I believe she knows that and maybe couldn’t care less about what happens to them. This could all be pandering to her base, as she is certainly known to do. After all, she is a classic politician.

Why not help them relocate to a safe haven in their part of the world? Why must we always be the ones to manage such things? Where is Saudi Arabia in all of this? How many of their fellow Muslims are they accepting? My understanding is none. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It is time that we wake up and take back our country. The way to do that is at the voting booth n this next election. If we don’t act soon, we may eventually even lose that most basic right.

My Lord wants us to be “our brother’s keeper,” for sure. But I don’t think he expects us to commit suicide in the process.

Ann Coulter, a conservative columnist and well-known speaker, asserts that Donald Trump won the election when the Paris attack happened. I’m not sure of that one—and I’m not sure it is best for America. However, it is preferable to extending Obama’s policies another 4 years by electing Hillary Clinton. We need to be rid of these establishment Democrats, as well as the GOP establishment. We need to take our country back. Please… make sure you vote in the next election.

Slavery

Jesus responded, “I assure you: Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. -John 8:34 (HCSB)

All too often, Christians may feel constrained by their faith and what they know to be the expectations of their Heavenly Father. Sometimes, in certain churches, the list of "don'ts" may seem longer than the ancient laws of Israel. Occasionally 'religious' people will sadly get caught up in that sort of thing. That can be a turn-off for many people and a valuable asset to the enemy, who wants you to feel bound by law and a slave to some sort of religious creed. The God I know and love is a God of freedom. I am freer as a slave to Christ than I ever was as a slave to sin. How about you? Are you free in Christ or bound by sin?

Just a bit of DISGUST...

I've got to admit I expected more from the do-nothing body we call Congress with its GOP majority at present. Instead, we got more of the same old tired rhetoric we have been getting for the past 7+ years now about how terrible Obamacare is.

The plan they managed to produce after all this time (Paul Ryan's) is not much better than what is in place and apparently leaves a lot of middle-class people financially screwed. I understand it polled with a 17% approval rate. All I know is the many votes over the past few years to repeal it were nothing more than political grandstanding --  a waste of time and taxpayer money. All the Republicans seem to be able to do is criticize and come up with little to offer themselves. They cannot even seem to reach a consensus among themselves (a problem they have had as long as I can remember).

Personally, I have felt for a long time that they should simply fix what is in place so it works better and offers more flexibility with lower costs. I th…

Get On With It!

When we learned last night of the appointment of special counsel to look into the accusations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, we were initially impressed with the measured response from the President. However, as I stated to my wife last night, I would have been surprised if that didn't all change by morning. And so it did. Why can't he leave leave matters alone and keep his fingers off of his smartphone or whatever gadget he uses to bombard Twitter with tweets that signify immaturity and are often caustic, to say the least?

I think if I were President Trump or on his staff I would welcome a special counsel investigation of the matter to put it to bed once and for all. Of course, I offer that with a presumption that he is innocent of accusations that have so far come without any evidence. Robert Mueller's credentials are basically impeccable and he is known as a man who will get to the bottom of things and follow the trail wherever it leads -- not…
