The Decline of Honor and True Love

Woman deserve honor and respect. This post discuss the sad state of modern society’s treatment of women.

I grew up in a time that some often call the sexual revolution. It was a time of anything goes experimentation with sexual encounters. There was a new disregard for any respect for the other person. The goal of the revolution in my mind was nothing unique or new. Why it is called a revolution is beyond me.

The new, so called revolution was not about freedom of expression. It was not about the liberation of inhibitions. It was not about “love”. The truth the new mentality was nothing but the absolute success of the aggressor to be a selfish as possible. It is about persons entering into an arrangement that is devoid of responsibility or regard for the other person. It is about pure and utter selfishness and uniquely grotesque behavior.

The cause of this selfishness derives plainly as the nose on my face from the advent of contraception. This mentality believes in no responsibility in the sexual act of intercourse. They view the act as a form of pleasure seeking. However it is obvious from the simple fact that in the act of intercourse, that is natural, a woman may become pregnant with a living human child. It is not simply for pleasure. But our modern society discounts human life as the Romans had. We have not progressed we have declined to a barbarity not seen in centuries.

The modern mentality now sees human life as a commodity. It does not respect the gift of offspring if not planned. It wants intelligent human beings to believe that the child now living in a woman’s womb is something other than human life. This is absurd and an insult to an intelligent person.

The selfishness of our society wants to do away with human life as we would an unwanted pest. We want to kill that which we cannot see. Since it is out of sight it is out of mind. We can lie to ourselves but we know it is no other than murder. The ultimate in selfishness is to kill for one’s own pleasure. The destruction of one life for our own goals is clearly the way criminal organizations work.

But this revolution used the guise of Women’s Liberation. Women can now work unencumbered by the male of her species! Interestingly the effect has been the opposite. Men have been liberated from the responsibility of a relationship with the female. He can easily disappear while the woman is now left alone to raise a child or even worse he will use all his evil guile to pressure a woman to kill her child.

Oh, there are woman out there that claim this is liberating and they are proud of having had a child aborted. Yet the truth speaks louder that the evil lies these women profess. There are armies of women who have survived this horror to realize they have wronged their unborn child and their own bodies. Sadly in many cases woman have also died in the process, making it two deaths in the fell swoop of the abortionists propaganda and pressure.

Contraception if looked on rightly is not a successful form of birth control. It often fails and puts men and women in a position they never expected to be in. Even worse is that it is a lie. It is not pleasurable simply because it is an empty act devoid of meaning. It has no love behind it. There is no commitment to one or the other. It is simply put the act of mutual masturbation. It lacks love because the real product of an honest human love is the willingness to receive each others inner being in an act of joining together to create a unique life.

This way of thinking our society has seen it keen to turn our woman into tramps. Our woman young and old are constantly being told they have to sell themselves to the opposite sex to have value. All you have to do is go to any newsstand and read the covers of the woman’s magazines. It is the utmost degradation of the female of our society and one that is now sadly ingrained.

Recently I was speaking to a young man of my acquaintance whom had told me of recent trip he took to Boston with a lady friend. I am no fool and I know that they were of course sharing the same bed. Later the same week he told me he wanted to meet a friend of his. I asked whom would that be? He gave me the name of the same young woman he had traveled to Boston. I was confused, I said “Oh, your girlfriend”. But he denied that she was his girlfriend to the point that it was obvious he did not even value her as a friend, only as a valueless acquaintance. She was simply a tool for his pleasure even though they shared the most intimate of acts. She was his prostitute though she may not realize it. He is simply put, using her to fulfill his sexual needs.

A friend would risk his life for you. A friend would have concern for your well-being. A friend makes sacrifices for the other in any relationship. I have friends both male and female and I care for them all and where ever possible I will go out of my way for them. Most of all I would never deny the relationship I have with any kindred spirit.

I sadly believe woman have been fooled to believe they are better now than their ancestors. The truth is exactly the opposite. Women were held in high regard and with respect. Woman held high and powerful positions. Women and men together raised a society based on real intimate love for one another. They shared their pains and sorrows and came out the other side. Men adored them whether wife, mother, sister or Queen. Mostly men would lay down their lives for their women in the past.

Sadly, now men run from women. They don’t want commitment to a woman and even worse they have no respect. They may smile and make a woman laugh but when he takes her to his bed he is not saying I love you. He is saying thanks for relieving me.

I only wish to end this rant to say I despise our recent history in regards to the human sexual relations and most of all the times I grew up in. I was misled and lied to and in the process it made my life very difficult. If possible I would go back and correct the actions of my youth. Without the ability to do that all I pray is that real women take the lead and put selfish men back in their place. They must change society so that a woman is respected for her mind and skills. So that the males may come to once again respect woman’s honor and his own place again beside a good strong woman.

Tough election but I am with Dr. Watson-Vote Trump

WHY I AM VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP

AND URGING OTHER PRO-LIFE AMERICANS TO DO THE SAME.

 

It has not been an easy decision. Many whose opinion I deeply respect have recommended strongly against my doing so.  Not least among these are several members of my immediate family.  My own children think that voting for Mr. Trump is, well, “deplorable.”  Certainly, there are many reasons not to vote for Mr. Trump.  I only wish that the man would not make a point of adding to them on an almost daily basis.

The option of either not voting at all or voting for a write-in or for a third-party candidate is a tempting alternative.  Voting for a third party candidate or for any candidate that you truly respect is never “throwing your vote away.”  It is a moral victory of one!

However, I have finally decided to vote for Mr. Trump on behalf of a special, undocumented American.  She has not been in this country long enough to be allowed to vote.  So I have decided to cast my ballot in her place.

Mr. Trump is, at his best, a very successful businessman and he certainly knows how to motivate a crowd.  At his worst, he is huckster, a carnival sideshow barker. Hardly the ideal presidential candidate – P.T. Barnum goes to Washington.

While Mr. Trump’s candidacy is dubious, Ms. Clinton’s presidency will be an unmitigated disaster.  We have to choose between a clown and a cobra.  As one pundit put it, “My trouble with Trump is that I do not know what he will do.  The trouble with Clinton is that I know exactly what she will do!”

 

Trump’s campaign consists largely of theoretical constructs.  What he will actually do in Washington remains to be seen.  Much of his rhetoric could be dismissed as bombast and vacuous campaign promises.  On the other hand, there is nothing theoretical about the Clinton threat.  The bloody reality of today is that 1.2 million abortions are now being performed in America every year.  Ms. Clinton celebrates this reality and pledges to expand it to a spectacular extent.  She envisions a single, federally-mandated healthcare system in which tax-funded abortion-on-demand will be freely provided universally.  She has little patience with those in the healthcare system who have grave moral reservations.  Physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals – we, too, will have a right to choose – either choose to conform or choose another line of work!

Beyond the transformation of our country into a power house of abortion-on-demand, Clinton envisions worldwide dominance of the abortion culture.  Through the UN and through multiple US overseas programs, Ms. Clinton will ensure that abortion-on-demand is forcefully promoted and funded throughout the world.  The rights of Catholic nations will be trampled just as surely as the rights of Catholics in the US will be disregarded.  No one will long stand in the path of the Clinton’s pro-abortion juggernaut.

Ms. Clinton declares that “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.”

The evil that President Clinton will achieve, even in four years, let alone in eight, will endure – certainly past my lifetime. The appointment of pro-abortion judges to the Supreme Court will insure that not even our Constitution will stand in the way.

The situation, with respect to the vice-presidential candidate, is even starker from a Catholic standpoint.  Mr. Pence is, by all measures, a soundly pro-life Christian.  Mr. Kaine is the worst of all possibilities.  He is a proudly self-declared Catholic and, at the same time, a 100% pro-abortion advocate.  He states that he is personally opposed to abortion. (However, it is not clear why he would be opposed “personally” to the exercise of an act that he believes to be a basic human right – one which he now actively promotes as a US senator.) More sadly still, Senator Kaine came into office as a pro-life Democrat, but has since converted to the dark side. Planned Parenthood endorses his candidacy enthusiastically; he now has a 100% pro-abortion voting record!

Senator Kaine was brought up as a Catholic and trained by Jesuits. He spent time working in a mission in Honduras.  He took time out from that mission, in order to make a difficult pilgrimage to neighboring Nicaragua, where he met with a self-declared Marxist priest, who was serving there as chaplain to a band of communist guerillas.  Whatever inspiration Senator Kaine received from this Marxist guru, in terms of “liberation theology,” evidently did not extend to liberating from oppression the weakest and most defenseless of our little brothers and sisters – those unborn children who are depending on us for protection in the wombs their mothers.  It is bad enough to have an anti-Catholic, such as Hillary Clinton, running for president.  But to have a man, who claims to be a Catholic, teaming with her to turn America into an abortion powerhouse is truly deplorable. We have the possibility (albeit small) that Ms. Clinton would become the first president to be convicted of a felony. In any event, Vice President Kaine will be, for the next four years or more, one heartbeat away from becoming Commander-in-Chief. We would face the specter of a President who is, in this world, the most powerful Catholic on earth and, at the same time, the proud champion of the wholesale, murderous expansion of abortion-on-demand across America and throughout the entire world. Then we would face the possibility (albeit also very unlikely) of his becoming the first president ever to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church.  Were that to happen, you could be sure that liberal Democrats and the media would lionize him for his courage – the Patron Saint of Planned Parenthood. The Clinton/Kaine duo will truly mark our nation with the Sign of Kaine.

So there you have it.  What a disaster for democracy this election seems to be!  Two candidates for President of the United States in a mad race to the bottom!  The goal for each of them seems to be, not so much to get their supporters to vote for them, as to convince supporters of their opponent to either stay home and not vote at all or to vote for a third candidate.  The alternative is to “hold your nose” and vote for the less bad candidate.  In ancient times, there was what was called the “War of Roses.”  This election might be called the “War of Noses.”

Well, I am not holding my nose.  Rather, I am holding my breath in suspense and gasping at the thought of an America in which the Clinton presidency would cement and celebrate federally funded abortion-on-demand, worldwide, for the foreseeable future – for the rest of my life and beyond. Whatever issues ‘The Donald’ has going against him, the issue of protecting all human life takes precedence. I guess you could say that it ‘trumps’ all other issues!

So I am casting my vote for Mr. Trump – for the sake of all America – but especially for that undocumented American that I mentioned at the outset.  Yes, as you have probably guessed, the undocumented young lady, on whose behalf I am voting, is a little unborn baby girl.  Call me a radical, but I believe that dismembering her is wrong – dead wrong! Where is the ‘women’s vote’ when this little lady really needs it? I am voting to safeguard for her a world in which being unwanted or inconvenient is no longer a death sentence, neither before nor after birth.

I will be casting my vote, not only for Mr. Trump, but also for all the other pro-life candidates on the ballot. They will need support especially in this election.  I will be voting, down the line, in full support of the Republican Party’s solidly pro-life platform. Please join with me in doing the same.  Vote as if life depended on it – because it does!

Meanwhile, today and every day – PRAY! PRAY!  PRAY!

Bathroom Solution- Simple

The other day I read that two men and a young woman were beaten in a hotel by LGBT activists for not allowing the males into the female’s bathroom while an elderly woman was using it. Now this is really getting out of hand.

The funny point is this is a question of fact over perception. Men that want to be women or women that want to be men want to act the role without being one. In this twisted world that we live in where fact is discounted and truths are determined to be relative, that leaves the civil society only one choice to me, that is to make a major change.

Bathrooms should no longer be labeled Men or Women. The bathrooms must now be changed to the point where there is no ability to rationalize away truth. This means that one bathroom must be labeled Humans with Penis or Human with Vagina. I believe this would solve the issue.Men's room door

Human with penis, no longer means a male that is heterosexual. Human with Vagina, no longer means a woman that will most likely have children and be a loving mother. Now we just simply state the fact allowing no space for relativism and interpretation.

The future’s bathrooms will now be marked P or V. This will have to come soon for society to survive or we will be having more violent altercations due to this perversion of reality.

 

PS: I just finished the first draft of my book.

Evil is not Tough, Courage is to Love

I had the most interesting revelation yesterday. I was reading about the evils in World War Two. The Nazis and their intent on destruction of the Jews and Christians that stood in their way. I wondered how is it that this came to be? How could so many peopled be duped by the socialist fascists of the day to denounce and kill their fellow human beings for the mere reason that they were different. They did not pose a physical threat to anyone.

Then I realized it was lack of real courage.a lack of fortitude against evil and finally it was a lack of love. To be able to love in the face of evil is true courage.

People who perpetrate evil acts are actually cowards. They are not tough in the least. This is why they need to work in crowds or act in darkness. They don’t want to be seen for what they truly are. They pass laws that are against the natural order of life behind closed doors. They blackmail others to do their bidding through money or threats. Their lack of ability to defend their positions in the public square without first having to resort to back door tactics and later to violence proves their obvious lack of intellect. Without reason, they have no defense so they always have to strong arm those that can deconstruct any arguments they claim to have.

Many people people betray their fellow man for selfish gains such as power and wealth. They are shallow and their lives are empty. Eventually they lose the position of worldly power when men and women begin to stand up against evil.

For men and women to stand up to evil they have to first acknowledge that every human life is precious. Without this first step then there is no room for love. When mankind acknowledges that all human life is precious then courage comes into the heart. That courage comes into existence because of LOVE for all mankind. Until this becomes the priority in men’s heart then many cowards will let evil run rampant in this world.

Evil men and women are no only in far away countries. They are in the cities of every major country in the world. They have made a stronghold in most of the cities in the United States of America and now threaten to run every aspect of an individual’s life. This can only be done when the state becomes totalitarian. Sadly my friends unless we have the courage to stand up when someone wants you to accept lies as truths then we will become the cowards and willing accomplices of evil.

This is what happened in the Germany of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party., Socialist Russia, Communist China, Communist Cuba and many other places around the globe. Millions have died at the hands of cowards with weapons. Hundred of thousands tortured and killed to push forward their agenda.

It is time that every individual stand up for each other. Every human life is important! I might not agree with you but I must stand up for your right to speak your mind at any time anywhere respectfully. When governments start creating laws to prohibit freedom of speech like in New York City where you will be fined if you call a male “Mister” if he considers himself a “She” is an unjust twist of the natural order (another word for reality) and an outright lie.de_blasio_marxist-300x263

We can’t believe it but it is happening. It is time people stop being cowards and open their hearts by loving and protecting their fellow man. This can be done by defending truth and freedom and freedom of speech.

 

 

Rachel Weeps at Ramah

rachel2bweeping

Over two thousand years ago
A king’s greed shocked a nation
Children murdered
To protect his power and wealth

Herod who are you?
How is it that you still live?
Many men of our day make you,
Their god of worship

In their hearts
No life is safe,
Not in a mother’s womb
As they give up their children
For an alleged better life

The babies are cut into pieces
Body parts sold for experiment
The destruction of life
The population of countries

No war has been more heinous
No crime so disgusting
Herod, Hilter…..Satan
The goal being accomplished
By those chosen for destruction

They buy into the lies
That material goods and career
Bring joy in this life
Pure nonsense
It is the bane of wise men

Later they awaken
To the evil in their hearts
What have I done?
Where are my children?
Why am I alone at the end of my days?

Their bodies are a shell
No more attraction in this world
No love to fill that empty space
Herod filled their earth

They saw the many praying
Upon death of the innocents
Weeping for their sins,
Praying for their conversion
To turn away and
Join the world building lives

Rachel is weeping
At Ramah,
At the Unites States of America
At the European Union
At the United Nations
For their children are no more

Simplify Life and Enjoy the Moment

As I get older I realize that there is no reason under the sun to have to rush around. Now I am not saying to do the opposite and take your sweet time about things. But there is a balance between being over exuberant and under enthusiastic.
Take for instance going to pick up some take-out food. Last night I realized that to where I was going there are two options. I can take the highway and get there fast or take the back-roads and get there a few minutes later. What is the difference?
I had to weigh the options. The highway I would have to deal with hostile drivers and be on the offensive myself. The other routeSimplify your road does not demand either from me and in fact keeps my more aggressive tendencies at bay. This means that I am able to relax put on some relaxing music and simply enjoy the moment.
I chose the back-roads. The restaurant was on the highway so I had to traverse the road for a short time. Yet choosing the back roads made the experience pleasant. This little life tweak I believe puts me in a better frame of mind and all the day to day worries are not compounded with the stress of putting myself in more demanding situations.
I guess what I am trying to say is that sometimes it is the simple decisions we make that can better enable us to cope with the more difficult problems we have in our life. It seems that everything in life is on a scale. When one side of the scale gets to heavy we need to add to the other side. If we do not learn to do this the scale will tip and all we have worked for will come to naught.

Writing a book – Day One

Dazed an confusedI have had this idea in my head for many months. I want to write a book about my battle with my weight. The reason is because so many books about dieting are not about the actual experience of doing it but “How To” books. Mine will be more of a “How Not To” book. The goal is not to write some great large tome but a short narrative about my experiences which will help others avoid the pitfalls and the marketing schemes that lead people like me to failure.

I have written a few pages already and I like the flow. I think it will be such a short and easy read that it should be popular when I bring it to print. I unlike my father, I am writing for the masses. The plan is to make it an eBook. I believe this will reach a greater audience. If it is successful then I will write larger volumes. But I have learned over the years it is better to test the waters than to jump in head first without knowing what lies ahead.

Wish Me luck!

A Couple of My Favorite Chesterton Quotes

G.K. Chesterton“According to most philosophers, God in making the world enslaved it. According to Christianity, in making it, He set it free. God had written, not so much a poem, but rather a play; a play he had planned as perfect, but which had necessarily been left to human actors and stage-managers, who had since made a great mess of it.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“An abyss of light”

There is at the back of all our lives an abyss of light, more blinding and unfathomable than any abyss of darkness; and it is the abyss of actuality, of existence, of the fact that things truly are, and that we ourselves are incredibly and sometimes almost incredulously real. It is the fundamental fact of being, as against not being; it is unthinkable, yet we cannot unthink it, though we may sometimes be unthinking about it; unthinking and especially unthanking. For he who has realized this reality knows that it does outweigh, literally to infinity, all lesser regrets or arguments for negation, and that under all our grumblings there is a subconscious substance of gratitude. That light of the positive is the business of the poets, because they see all things in the light of it more than do other men. Chaucer was a child of light and not merely of twilight, the mere red twilight of one passing dawn of revolution, or the grey twilight of one dying day of social decline. He was the immediate heir of something like what Catholics call the Primitive Revelation; that glimpse that was given of the world when God saw that it was good; and so long as the artist gives us glimpses of that, it matters nothing that they are fragmentary or even trivial; whether it be in the mere fact that a medieval Court poet could appreciate a daisy, or that he could write, in a sort of flash of blinding moonshine, of the lover who “slept no more than does the nightingale”. These things belong to the same world of wonder as the primary wonder at the very existence of the world; higher than any common pros and cons, or likes and dislikes, however legitimate. Creation was the greatest of all Revolutions. It was for that, as the ancient poet said, that the morning stars sang together; and the most modern poets, like the medieval poets, may descend very far from that height of realization and stray and stumble and seem distraught; but we shall know them for the Sons of God, when they are still shouting for joy. This is something much more mystical and absolute than any modern thing that is called optimism; for it is only rarely that we realize, like a vision of the heavens filled with a chorus of giants, the primeval duty of Praise.

G.K. Chesterton— Chaucer (1932).

Reason to Rejoice

Hidden pondI was walking on a trail in the Watchung Reservation with my three dogs. It was a hot day and this is the best time to go into the woods were the temperature is typically 10 to 20 degrees cooler. There were very few people in the woods, most likely because a Saturday in August draws people to beaches and pools. It was a pleasure and though we did see others in the woods it was very quiet and I felt very isolated.

I sat for a few moments to give the dogs a rest and to watch and listen to nature unveil itself around me. I sat on a log and I was able to spot some deer about a tenth of a mile away. I also spotted a woodpecker. Later while walking I would see some other birds but most are skittish and once they hear me they move so fast I can’t identify them.

Still as we walked through the woods I couldn’t help but wonder how many persons walked through here. I thought back to the times of George Washington and his men and how they probably passed through here on the way to the battle of Union. I thought about the local Indians and how this was their stomping grounds.Then I looked at all the tress that lovers and travelers carved their initials on.

So many people have passed through here. Some may have thought themselves important. But nature always brings you back to reality as the awesomeness raises my own awareness of my mortality and lack of importance. I am humbled as I walk among the trees many that may be as much as one hundred or more years old.

It dawned on me. Life is a gift and the short time we are here we need to appreciate and use to the best of our abilities. By working towards the greater good with a true love for life and the life of all around us we become a very important part of the life of the world. We become givers of life to the next generation and to those that live around us. Now that is an important function and responsibility.

We all have a responsibility to live to our fullest. That is the gift we call life. So I left the woods feeling invigorated and joyful.

I wish all my walks were as productive!

Have a great life!

Die for Truth

Over the centuries there have been people willing to courageously speak the truth. Even when the path of least resistance would have secured their own prosperity. The path of least resistance, silence, when one looks at the history of man is the road that allows evil to have its way.

Slavery of the masses has always been achieved by the powerful minority through the ascent to evil by silence and inaction. The threat of punishment or being cast out has been enough to keep people under control. Political correctness is that same ploy used throughout human history. Sadly many would rather bite their tongues when they see evil rather than risk retribution.

Then of course there are those that will risk all to make change that is just and proper. To the men and women who throughout history have stood tall in the face of injustice and tyranny I have the greatest admiration. I pray that if such a challenge were placed before me that I have the courage to do the same. I feel it is better to die with love of truth by our words and deed than to live with complacency towards evil and cowardice in the soul.
