Healthcare & Progressive Morality

The Liberals in Congress see opportunity in their newest National Health Care Initiative. Not for a healthier America! But for a more powerful Elite.

The Senate Bill is the best of the worst. The House Bill will have to be wed to it and this is not possible. So, House Democrats will have to go along to get along. And their moral system will allow them to do so.

But, in the process, these folks are willing for Seniors to pay so the more "disadvantaged" citizens can have health care.

Only Seniors are being required to pay with their lives! Medicare payments will be limited, according to age and viability. Of course, this will be in concert with your Doctor, who will be an employee of the State!

All this so those who are dying every day for lack of affordable health care may live. No effort has been made to correct the problems with Health Insurance. All that was discussed and voted on was how to give the Government control over your health care.

And, by their own measure, less than half of those now "uninsured" will benefit.

The Secular, Progressive, Humanist moral code drives a stake into the heart of who and what we are, as Americans. Personal Responsibility, Liberty, Integrity and the Condition of Mankind do not factor into their system. It's all about 'progress.'

So, where is all this 'progress' taking us? Right into bankruptcy and slavery.

The unborn are not worthy to live, if they interfere with our plans.
The elderly are not worthy to live a productive life, if it's too expensive.
The mentally ill are not worthy of a cure, only hopeless therapies.
The traditionalists are not worthy of a voice, being narrow and judgmental.
The patriotic are dangerous, keeping us from making global progress.
The middle class is a threat to good order, they must be eliminated.
The truly educated child is a threat, he must not be permitted to learn.
The biblically literate are confused, they actually believe The Bible.
Only those who rely on PBS and The Daily Kos really know the truth!

But consider: The Liberal Left represents less than 30% of the population! Their effort is to help the 20% who are supposedly not benefiting from the system. Of course, this is at the expense of the 80% who pay the bills.

We keep electing them because they pander to our selfish nature, promising all sorts of things no one is able to actually deliver. But that doesn't occur to us, since our memory is only about 60-days long and our corporate context is only about 8 years.

The fact that other civilizations have traveled this same, destructive, path doesn't occur to us. Western Civilization is a mystery to most Americans, 40 years of age and younger.

So, keep hoping. Maybe one day this insanity will actually work!

Christian Patriotism

As we watch our beloved America being swallowed up by governmental totalitarianism and socialist philosophy, what, if anything, is a Christian to do?

Many Christian organizations have sought to force America back to her Christian roots through political activism. A New Breed is preaching a “Kingdom Now” philosophy which has The Church ushering in the Millennium through social activism.

Others are saying that The Bible teaches Christians are to stay out of politics on the basis that Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world and the fact that The Bible characterizes all countries, other than Israel, as “The Nations.” A group that will be judged during the Great Tribulation.

I believe the answer is rooted in the scriptures. Human government is ordained of God. Believers are commanded to “obey them that have the rule over us “ (Rom. 13). In most cases this has meant Kings and Dictators, who make the laws. In our case we are ruled by The Constitution. In America we have no King. No one is above the law.

When unjust men seek to subvert the Constitution, godly men have a responsibility to hold them accountable, by legal means. We would not hesitate to take a neighbor to court, should he erect a fence 20 feet inside our property line. Or continually violate the law in an effort to establish himself at our expense.

The argument that we are not of this world is offered by those who would defend their worldly rights by suing the uninsured motorist who recklessly destroyed their property and/or inflicted serious bodily harm and refused to make it right.

Christians have the right (responsibility) to defend against those who seek to undermine the law of the land....at least to a point.
We dare not violate God’s Word in a vigorous defense of liberty.
We dare not break the law to defend the law.
And we dare not let this earthly pursuit interfere with, or rob us of, heavenly pursuits.

In the end, should the laws change, we would be required to live in harmony with whatever they are, as long as they did not require us to violate God’s Word or our conscience. (Acts. 5:29)

Whatever we do and however far we go depends on the individual, the circumstances and sound reason. As important as this battle may be, it is not to be waged at the expense of our testimony or stability.
