Go to the Back of the Line

I remember one time when I went to Disney I had our first daughter and my wife with me in line for the Peter Pan ride. The wait was around one hour. We were almost there, having waited for about 50 minutes, when we saw a family walk up, cut under the ropes, and get on the ride, all within about 1 minute. I normally don’t let trifles like that get to me, because I figure it’s not worth my time or trouble. However, this time I was pretty incensed and so was everyone around me. So we started hollering to the ride operator that they had cut in line, and the guy ignored us! Here we had followed the rules and waited through a torturous line (95° but felt like 110°) and these people were let in, and when we complained, we were ignored.

You know, this really reminds me of the immigration battle we’re facing right now. It took a terror threat to bring the issue of illegal immigration to the table. Now that its here, its like our politicians are in a bubble and ignoring our demands. I absolutely refuse to apologize for saying the following: Any immigration bill should have two parts, and two parts only
1. Deport all illegal aliens immediately.
2. Defend and enforce our borders with as much funds and manpower as necessary.

That’s the bottom line. These people have a hard luck story, and for that I’m sorry. But they broke the law by coming here without going through the proper channels. The Bible tells us to follow the laws of the land. It also says that we all have to pay for wrongdoing. It’s not just the fact that they are coming here illegally. It’s the fact that they are doing it and thumbing their noses at our country by sucking up our resources, tax dollars, and national identity. Yes, I said national identity. We now have classes in schools that aren’t taught in English! Are you kidding me?!? All of these illegal aliens are a cancer to our society, and if we don’t cut the cancer out, we’re going to die.

How easy is it for Al-Qaeda to infiltrate our country through our southern border? We are not only destroying our economy, language and culture; we are also putting ourselves at risk because we are too afraid to do the right thing and enforce our laws! Now, personally, I feel for these families that may be uprooted because of a massive deportation effort. But, they made the choice to come here illegally and they will have to face the consequences. I sincerely believe this country is suffering because we are so concerned about being politically correct, especially as concerns illegal immigration. My hat goes off to those who are obeying the law and applying to come here legally. I welcome you to our country with open arms, and hope you know how great it is to be an American. (even with all of our faults). So, those who are here now, be prepared to go to the back of the line where you belong.

Where to Start

As a Christian, and someone who’s fairly intelligent, I have to ask, “where do I start”. I have a lot of things to say, and a lot of opinions about our current society. I think it best to start with the single thing which defines us as a barbarous nation: abortion. Don’t get me wrong; I was in the Marines and I enjoy some of the more violent aspects of life (boxing, wrestling, military, action movies, etc.). However, a proud warrior nation is different than a nation of barbarians. A barbarian is not governed by ethics, so much as by expedience. And that’s what abortion is: expedience. Let’s call it what it really is, legalized murder. Citizens of this nation who find it inconvenient to become parents, or don’t want to care for a life that they created, can now opt out and kill the baby. That in itself is bad enough, but there is a greater problem.

As a country, as outlined in our court rulings and laws, we have rationalized away the fact that abortion is murder. We call it a matter of choice and pat ourselves on the back for our creativity. Now, we can have all the sex we want, and not have to bear the consequences. It is a disgraceful shame that our thinking has become warped to the point where we don’t value the lives of the most innocent among us. This warped thinking started in the 1960s and has led to political correctness, weakened military, defeatist strategies, appeasement, anti-military and police thinking, the list goes on and on. But the worst is abortion. It makes me, a proud former member of the military, ashamed to call myself an American.
