Some people don’t see the danger to United States

I never thought that I would hear one of our leaders, let alone our president, go to other countries and apologize for us and policies we have pursued. We have been the first to respond to any part of the world when a country and their people have been threatened by disaster, whether natural or man made and whether that country is friend or foe. Apparently, Michelle Obama was serious when she stated that for the first time in her adult life she was proud to be an American. It also seems that Barack Obama was influenced by Jeremiah Wright more than he has ever admitted to. I would hope that President Obama does not stoop to apologizing to the families of the 911 terrorists for the loss the terrorists’ lives in the attacks.

Some people don’t seem to grasp the danger to America and to all freedom-loving people around the world if detainees at Guantanamo Bay are released en masse. Many of these detainees have a clear hate for Americans and Jews and have made it well known that their goal is to kill as many as possible. Several, who have been released, have been found in Iraq attempting to kill our troops again. God has used many nations and people to thwart evil almost since time began. War is not pleasant to any peace-loving people. However, many times it becomes necessary to prevent even greater bloodshed. Many in our country, including our president, would rather kill an innocent unborn or partially born baby than to execute a convicted murderer. It is hard to believe that our America has gone this low in its attitude toward innocent human life. As a local church sign asks, “Is God pleased with your vote on moral issues?”

Insurance mandate violates religious freedoms
The Health and Human Services mandate requiring employers to carry insurance that covers contraceptives, including surgical sterilization and abortifacients, requires Christian schools and charitable and medical organizations to violate their conscience or face fines of $2,000/employee. This forces Christian organizations to either close down or violate the mandate.

Hypnosis dates to Adam and Eve’s act of sin
I saw the article on hypnosis in the newspaper and was reminded how far away this generation has fallen from the truth of God’s holy word, the Bible.

Justice if different in Elkhart County
A warning to the uninformed: there is justice and there is Elkhart County justice, and any resemblance between the two is largely coincidental.

Donations can help house families
I read with concern the headline in The Goshen News on Wednesday. Our Goshen Housing Authority needs $571,050 to continue the local rent assistance voucher program and avoid slashing services. That is over half a million dollars. Coming up with that large an amount seems hopeless. The related article went on to say that 71 households with 126 children could be directly affected by this shortfall. That is $8,043 per family unit or $4,532 per child.

Bishop says HHS rules violate separation of church and state
On Friday, Jan. 20th, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that almost all employers, including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those “services” in the health policies they write. And almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies.

Cut of Rieth Interpretive Center part-time coordinator will be felt
Praise, lament and wish encompass my feelings for the termination of the part-time position of program coordinator for the Rieth Interpretive Center in the Goshen Parks Department. Praise is for Melissa Kinsey’s effective, “full-time” effort in being the right person in the right place to work at the purpose for the RIC.
