‘PERSONHOOD BILL FAILS IN OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE.’

Chicago SunTimes

OKLAHOMA CITY-

A proposed  “personhood law in Oklahoma that would grant an embryos full rights as people from the moment of concepton failed in the state legislature on Thursday without coming to a vote in the Republican controlled house.

  The personhood Act passed in February in the senate and Republican Governor Mary Fallin have been expected to sign it. But it failed in committee where it sat.

   In this writer’s opinion, it’s hard to believe that this is an issue. In a federal level, it should be the states that should have the rights to choose abortion or not over all.  

  Given a reason why everyone has to do their homework and vote for the Republican candidate for president and get the vote to the states and not the federal government as  in Roe V Wade and other issues.  President Ronald Reagan was right when he said, ” Government isn’t the answer, but the problem.’ 

Re: Iran The Threat Today.

 So much going on in the Middle-East today. Iran going ahead with an atomic power plant to get “energy’ and put pressure on  England and France by cutting off oil supply to them. Now they are threat Israel and the United States. Israel is ready to take action to defend itself.

 In this writer’s opinion, NO Way! We have to continue the pressure of ‘In the pocketbook’ cutting off any money to Iran and build the KeyStone Pipeline project from Canada to Texas now. Why are people in environmental worried? I too am an environmentalist and know it can be done in safe guide lines.  No damage to wildlife and landscapes.

 Israel has every right to worry. They are a direct threat from a man who like  to eliminate the Jewish  and the U.S. from the Earth. Iran has to be addressed now before they have a bomb and learn how to use it!  Not wait and hope it goes away. That will not happen.

‘SO YOU WANT TO BRING THEM HOME? ‘ WE SAY FINISH THE GOOD FIGHT AND NOT RUN AWAY!”

    As we heard, Pres. Obama will begin being home our troop by September in large numbers from the Middle East leaving the battle to someone else. The question here is, Who is going to fight terrorist? The UN.? PLEASE.  We pay for 75% of the UN and do the heavy lifting  and no help.  Nice if they would get other countries involved not a chance. If you will not take care of yourself, who will?

 The big question? Do we wish to fight terrorism there or  in New York, Chicago, or LA.? I for one don’t want this in the United States! In the Catholic American opinion, we should finish the good fight once and for all. It will not go away by running away from the problem. Plus they started it on September 11 by the way!   Take Washington out of the picture and let the generals do their work and win this one as we did in World War II  then bring our troops home!

‘MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!’

 This is a good summary in light the troubles in the Midlle East and the murder of Catholics there putting out the good word to the people. Here is some of  the writing that I wanted to share with you.  Hope you enjoy it.

  ‘Ask, am I a generous giver? Or am I selfish with my time, talents, or time? St. Paul says in Cor. 9-6 “whoever sow sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully.”

  What is St.Paul talking about? Do we sow love bountifully? Do we see Christ in  each person we meet? Can we see Jesus in the poor homeless person as in the wealthy businessman? It was the self sacrificing love of Christ that saved the world? I believe that it is though giving away all the gifts God has given to us in love and mercy that we sow bountifully and generously in 2011.  In this writer’s opinion, well put Deacon and I agree with you.

‘HEALTH LAW SPURS STATES TO PASS ABORTION CURBS!’

From The Chicago Tribune 07-19-10 Edition

  Angry regarding paying for abortions in National Health Care and disconcert by Washington,  A bill was passed by the Louisiana House Of Representatives and signed by the Governor Bobby Jindal against the administration’s wishes that  would leave  out abortion care under this bill. Frank Hoffman a representative there  states that’ this is a proud day and our state is very pro-life. ‘ 

  As of now, National Health Care covers abortion using taxpayer’s money. This includes clinic visits and birth control methods offered by these  places. In this writer’s opinion,  scary. Way to go Governor Jindal! This is immoral and good to see the brakes put on now. 

   Not what Catholics wish to see and if continued, partial birth abortion put back into law!  To read more about this, go to the Chicago tribune online at www.chicagotribune.com

‘SEN. BYRD DEAD AT AGE 92.’

  Deep sorrow goes from The Catholic American to the family of Senator Robert Byrd who passed away early Monday  at the age of 92.  Senator Byrd had a long stay in the congress beginning in 1954 and brought much help to the people in Virgina State. He held the majority post in the Senate as the minority post as well.  He was a main stay in the coal miners who worked the area and their safety.

   God rest his soul, the soul of a friend of our Mary Lou Cowlishaw of the old 41, and the good citizen soldiers killed in this war fighting terrorism. God speed to them and all who departed.  As well as the little babies lost due to abortions.  Rest in peace.

C.I.A. 1953 OVERTHROW OR IRAN REAPS BITTER HARVEST FOR U.S.A.’

  An interesting history piece I found by Sherwood Ross (openendnews.com) on the overthrow of the Shah by the United States for the oil back in 1953. The results later on of radical extremist and terrorism in our history today.

  How Kermit Roosevelt, son of  President Theodore Roosevelt, was in on it.  How fast are some to blame the Jews when oil was a reason.  How we have to study history to prevent a repeat.   Not rewrite and change to our likings. Very interesting history fact.

‘HOW I SEE IT. AN OPEN LETTER TO PRES. OBAMA. ‘

Dear President Obama

  I see that you’re trying to press congress into National Health Care. I like to ask you, how about the real problem to be addressed that is,  Social Security and Medicare? As a citizen,  I am concerned that the problem is very real and that Social Security will go broke by 2016!  The administration and congress has taken a blind eye to the problem.

  First, why are you pressing National Health Care? We have Medicade  that there for those who are poor and need extra help. We have to revamp Medicare to make sure it’s good dollar wise and to end waste and rip offs by people  and insurance companies too who take advantage of a good thing?  For example over billing and those who can work but choose not to?

  I  should not have to pay for illegals who  are here or those  who abuse the welfare system. Unless its War, injury, or lost of a job that is it. A hand up, not  a hand out as we now have! We need tort reform and wellness type programs that were brought up but not acted on!

   I worked hard for many years and  want to have what I put into Social Security every week. As of now, stats show that there are more Baby Boomers retiring and nothing  to pay out! I suggest the congress act to raise the age of retirement to 68 years old and perhaps  put into investment groups as  an add-on?

   I don’t know about you, but I like the insurance I have and believe strongly hat we have to put our actions towards FIXING Medicare and Social Security and not give deep cuts in these programs that many depend on?

  We don’t need national health care that is over priced, over government, and most likely lines for medical help? Look at Europe and see what I mean. This is wrong and I hope you have the guts to start addressing this and  not sweep under the rug! Scrap National Health Care and get to the real problems at hand Mr. Obama!

With Respect,

”BIDEN VS. CHENEY. ROUND TWO BATTLE ROYAL!”

Dear reader-

  I heard on C-Span on Monday that the Liberal congress wants to weaken the laws to let illegals have citizenship in the United States! Now we also see the first round of Cheney Vs. Biden. Attacks flying. Why we have to be soft or not soft on terrorism. In this writer’s opinion, We have to be tough now!

 What about the continued threat of terrorists?  At the moment, current Vice President Biden is at a verbal war with Dick Cheney. Biden saying that Cheney  is misinformed or misinforming. This writer agrees with Cheney. We have to question these terrorists we catch and gain information on how their organization is put together, when something will happen, and who will do so.

  We cannot weaken our boarders or for that matter disable any  tools we have toward questioning the terrorists in order to save American lives.  Obama has done this.  We have to treat these people as what they are, terrorist combatants. We also have to let the border control do their jobs without fear of trouble from the government because they were not read their rights for example! Obama is wrong on this and shows  again weakness on the war on terror I am afraid to say.

  Finally, congress  has to address the problem at hand, stay out the military and let them do the job. Have strong boarders. I am not a fan of Dick Cheney but have to agree with him on this. We cannot be at sleep and be open toward more attacks in the future.  We have to use what is available to win this war  and nothing else. ( Without harm.)  We have to act now before it’s too late!
