AMERICAN HERITAGE AND
PRINCIPLES
(The
disbanding of principles that Americans once understood as virtuous.)
Donald
R. Fox
It
seems to me that our basic American Heritage and principles are
falling away as leaves quickly falling to the ground in the fall of
the year. Since I am a retired military person I have been keeping up
with the drive to allow women in combat roles and homosexuals in the
military, etc. Looking at Fox News, 10 February 2012, 7:00 PM CST,
three women, the host, a liberal Democrat and a conservative
Republican all praised the lifting of the long-standing rule/ban of
not allowing women in combat roles. These well-educated women likened
this decision as the equal to “women’s right to vote” in the
early 1900’s. Such like views are now common and so-called “good
people” are accepting these trends as normal and wholesome.
I
am shocked and appalled at how fast we Americans are disregarding and
rejecting our traditional standards of right/wrong. Same-sex
marriage, gays serving in the military and now women fighting along
side men. Filthy movies/TV with vulgar speech are common or maybe
even normal. Too many Americans accept abortion as a health issue to
be controlled and supported by government health programs. I strongly
affirm that wholesale abortion can be compared to the Nazi’s final
solution. Please see:

We
are now fully reaping the propaganda and mind-set that started in the
1960’s.
How
or what can we do to wake folks up? I fear that the on-going liberal
propaganda and brainwashing tools will or has crept into the Body of
Christ, the church. Concerning propaganda see:

NOTE:
On the Fox News program as noted, 10 February 2012, the host
interviewed a female Episcopalian clergy person. This segment dealt
with abortion as a health issue. The clergy person affirmed in a
very strong way that abortion should be freely given and supported by
governmental health coverage. I find such opinions mind-boggling from
a person that considers himself or herself as a Christian. I use
Christian in a very broad sense that is understood by the masses.
This also is another issue on how far some religions have decayed.
How very sad and incredibly extreme from what the Word of God, the
Bible teaches. Friends, is this not an example of a man-made creed
superseding and overruling the Bible? “We
must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29 ASV).
When men follow the Word of God, the Bible, they will understand and
obey true standards/principles and not the dictates of mere men. Mark
that down!
“Every
scripture inspired of God
is
also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction which is in righteousness.
That
the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good
work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ASV)
"A general dissolution of principles and
manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the
whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they
cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then they
will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or
internal invader."-Samuel Adams.
THE
SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM:
"The
existence of the combat restrictions clearly indicates the basis for
Congress' decision to exempt women from registration. The purpose of
registration was to prepare for a draft of combat troops. Since women
are excluded from combat, Congress concluded that they would not be
needed in the event of a draft, and therefore decided not to register
them.” Reference:

(Go to Exemption
of women) At
present, there seems to be great contradictions on our present laws
concerning women in the Armed Services. Concerning
such, are you as confused as I am?
