Quotes

“You know how to solve political correctness? Don’t do it.”~Brad Stine

"Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive."~Author Unknown

"The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right -- it is the very opposite. It is a deep wound in society."~ Pope Benedict XVI

"I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away."~Thomas Jefferson

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."~Benjamin Franklin

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."~Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria

"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset."~C.S. Lewis

"Why did God let this happen?" Because of one word, "OK."

It's funny, after Katrina and 9-11, thousands of people said things like, "Oh, how could God let this happen?" I don't like that kind of thinking. When a person said, "No praying in school!", we said "OK". When someone said, "No God or Bible in public places and school!", we said, "OK". When people started portraying Christians as the losers and the bad guys, even then we said, "OK." For decades we've been telling God, "Get out of our country! Get out of our lives!" And we, as Christians, have done extremely little about it. And then, when someone stands up for their rights and their faith, they get ridiculed and, often, punished. What do we say then? "OK." Crude jokes, horrid language, and sometimes downright evil is allowed in public places, but saying "Peace on Earth, good will toward men" gets you fined. If you tell God to get out of your country and your life, God being the gentleman that He is, He will say, "OK." We can't, as a nation, expect the blessing of God if we aren't willing to even let Him into our country. I think we need to turn back to God, and then maybe we can ask why He lets things happen, because, right now, He has no reason to stop disasters.

Remember 9-11

I will never forget the 3,000 innocent deaths. Will you forget them? I will never forget the men who have sacrificed themselves to protect my freedom, my rights, and my life; they paid with their lives. Will you forget them? I will never forget the people slaughtered brutally by a genocidal dictator. Will you forget them? The world will forget many things, but this I pray, that the people who died on the 11th of September and the soldiers who died afterwards will always be remembered, for as long as the Red, White, and Blue flies proud and strong. Osama, we're coming for you!
