Change We “Need”?

President Obama spent much time campaigning about how much change we “need” in this country. This short video demonstrates what he thought NEEDED to be changed. I don’t get it. How does he think these changes will make us better off? Why does he not study failed governmental ideas and try not to make those same mistakes here?
And why oh why are we even considering government controlled healthcare when we are worse than BROKE? We simply do NOT have the money to be considering something like this right now. When you are borrowing money just to make budget; you STOP SPENDING as much as possible!  Everyone in America is having to do this but Washington.

President Obama and his agenda

President Obama is coming through on campaign promises to be a president of change.

He is trying to change the opinion of millions of Americans concerning homosexuality. He has declared June to be gay pride month and now he is appointing Kevin Jennings, founder of Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network as head of the “safe schools” campaign for the Department of Education. So that will mean indoctrination; it will not mean tolerance. Mr. Jennings uses foul language and is unable to discuss the issue without resorting to name-calling and intolerant rhetoric. He cannot teach tolerance because he is not tolerant of those that disagree with his opinion.  His agenda is not to stop hateful language and such; his agenda is educate children into thinking that homosexuality is normal. (Much like our society already accepts promiscuity, heterosexuals living together etc.)

It is sad.  Homosexuality is not normal.  Promiscuity is not normal.  Sex outside of marriage is not normal.  All of these avenues to “pleasure” only lead to heart ache and pain.   Our society has taken the most precious intimate act that can facilitate true bonding with another human and is intent on using it outside of safeguards and then honking about how “liberated” we are.  Instead, we are absolutely becoming more and more dysfunctional as humans.

I only continue to post about this issue because we must be aware of what is happening.  We must trust God and rely on Him to give us wisdom as we train our own children to love Him, to care for homosexuals and others, and to order our lives around the safeguards of His Word.  Sexuality is a great gift, a beautiful union between husband and wife.  While we reject the distortion the world gives it, let’s not forget the beauty of the gift.

Pray for the President.

Proposition 8 Upheld

It was an amazing day in CA as the court decided whether to uphold the will of the majority of the voters.   The will of the people prevailed. (To me it is sad that we have to have the courts decide if the people are allowed to voice their opinions through voting!)

A temporary victory.  And why is it a victory? Let me just say very clearly that it is not a victory because it denies anyone a right. Proposition 8 DOES NOT deny rights. No matter how many times the homosexuals march in the streets, carry signs, give interviews and blog about it; they are WRONG about being denied rights! They have the right to pursue happiness with whomever they like, in any matter they like. What they have been denied is the right to infringe on the majority by insisting that their CHOICES be condoned by the majority.

So why is it a victory? Is is a victory for education. If our society recognizes homosexual union as marriage, then we will be obligated to teach in the public classroom that it is an acceptable alternative to heterosexual marriage. However, MANY do not view it as an acceptable alternative but, in fact,  a destructive alternative.

I know that many homosexuals want to turn this whole argument into “hate.” I see why they want that, it engenders sympathy. However, I am sympathetic to their problems; I don’t HATE homosexuals nor have any ill-will for them BUT I do not agree with their lifestyles and I refuse to be defined by them as a hateful person because of it.

I call it a temporary victory because they will continue to press the issue.  We must continue to press the issue too.

I press the issue not because I want homosexual people to be denied the right to be happy but because I do not want my grandchildren taught that homosexuality is an acceptable alternative to heterosexuality.

Homosexual Education for Kindergarteners

In a move that has angered many parents, a school district in CA is trying to implement a curriculum for kindergartenerss that will help “eradicate homophobia.”  I am quite sure the curriculum will not mention that MANY people feel like homosexuality is a sin and that it is  harmful way to seek intimacy in this manner, BUT that does not mean that these people HATE homosexuals. I am quite sure it will paint homosexuality as a perfectly natural alternative to heterosexuality  and leave out the numerous physical diseases, mental issues, and extreme promiscuous behavior that happen at an alarming rate in the homosexual community.

This type of teaching is what many knew would happen if Prop 8 had not passed.  Now, even with Prop 8 passed (but apparently still up for debate), this school is charging ahead anyway.  It is only a matter of time before more schools implement curriculum in hopes of making homosexuality look appealing.  (By the way Pepsi Cola is working hard to help overturn Prop 8.)

Homosexuality and Prop 8

I supported Prop 8 for the basic reason that I cannot “condone,” by supporting the rewriting of a definition of what marriage is, a practice that I believe is harmful to my neighbor. Why would I try to pretend that a homosexual “marriage” is the same as a heterosexual marriage when the homosexual intimacy leads to a wealth of health problems (especially for men) ?  In reality (apart from the Bible, which I do not live apart from myself but realize that MANY in this country do), the homosexual community is asking everyone to overlook the obvious in order to approve of something that they want (NOT NEED).

The prop does not give them any new rights….it only gives them a societal definition AND the ability to influence school children by being represented in books as a pleasant alternative to man/woman marriage. AND, it’s NOT a pleasant alternative, it’s a dangerous alternative. It is filled with high probability of disease, both physical and mental. Homosexual people already have the right to live together, to claim “domestic partners” for the sake of insurance, of work benefits, of taxing etc. Redefining a social definition that represents the majority (by far) of Americans in order for a minority of Americans to “feel better” about something that many feel is dangerous is just nonsensical.

To me it’s clear that the reason the Bible says it is not a valid way to have an intimate relationship is because it is not good for us (no surprise for the Christian….is any sin good for us? NO!).

So, in “loving my neighbor,” I respectively say to homosexuals that I do not see this way of living the same as you do and for that reason I cannot, in good conscience, vote for the definition to include your lifestyle.

If you are unaware of what diseases I am talking about google “homosexuality and health” and you will be amazed. Too much information for me to even summarize here.

For the Christian, if you take the Bible to be the word of God, then you must take every sin that it points out as dangerous, homosexuality is explicitly named.

“You shall love the Lord you God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Matthew 22:37-39
