2013 March for Life speaker Pastor Sam Polson

The weather was gorgeous for a walk, and a big crowd turned out to honor those unborn children who never  were able to enjoy life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness.

Pastor Sam Polson, of West Park Baptist Church, Knoxville was the speaker. Pastor Polson recalled two Supreme Court Decisions that were dark moments in American history. The Dred Scott decision which denied the humanity of Black Americans, and the Roe v Wade decision, which denied the humanity of Unborn Americans.

In the course of time, and after enduring the bloody Civil War, and passage of the 14th Amendment, Black Americans were recognized as persons, and as citizens.

How long before Unborn Americans will be afforded the same recognition?

2013 March for Life

If you are in Knoxville, join us today at Calvary Baptist Church, 3200 Kingston Pike, for the March for Life. 

The following is a reproduction of a column I wrote two years ago:

Fifty million Americans are missing!

January 22, 1973. American service personnel were dying in Vietnam, as America acted to prop up the South Vietnamese government under the Domino Theory. Back home, war protests were going on, illegal drugs were all around us.  

Things are pretty much the same now as then, except . . . 

Fifty million Americans are missing!

You see, on that day, the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Roe v. Wade, that abortion is legal.

We have since then heard strong arguments about the concept of 'choice'. The 'pro-choice' movement trumpets a woman's right to choose. 

Politicians will make such inane statements, as, "I am personally pro-life, but I support a woman's right to choose." 

Let's parse the terminology. On the one side, pro-life means opposition to abortion. On the other, pro-choice means in favor of abortion. 

So, what is abortion? Simply, the termination of a pregnancy. But, there is some tissue, in addition to the woman's tissue that must be accounted for. You see, her cells were formed by splitting of another cell, mitosis, with each 'daughter cell' having the same exact chromosomes as all her other cells.

Meiosis (the formation of reproductive cells), in contrast with mitosis, produces cells with half the chromosomes of the parents’ cells, 23 in the case of humans. At fertilization, the 23 chromosomes from each parent combine to yield the 46 chromosomes of a new, unique organism. No matter how inconvenient it may be, this unique organism is decidedly human; this organism is an individual person.

Examine the second paragraph of our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

How will the children of America who have been denied Life ever celebrate July 4^th? How can they celebrate the hope of Liberty, if Life itself is ended almost before it has begun? How can they ever pursue Happiness if they are cut out and discarded liked an ingrown toenail?

Those accused of the most heinous crimes are afforded better protection than unborn humans in America. Amendment V of the Bill of Rights states, in part: “No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The lowliest murderer-rapist,cop-killer or assassin receives the due process of arrest, indictment, guaranteed legal assistance, jury trial, and perhaps multiple appeals. Only after all these does he realistically face a death sentence.

But the unborn child, without benefit of due process, faces certain death at the hand of a stranger. All it takes is a parental decree. No judge, no jury, no Guardian ad Litem. Privacy trumps Life. Convenience trumps responsibility.

Into the fire like the the children of Molech's worshipers  sacrificed on the alter of SELF. 

How long, oh Lord, will you withhold your hand of judgment?

Dear Mr. Security Agent

The following is reproduced with permission. The author's opinions are his own, but certainly food for thought. LM

http://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/bracken-dear-mr-security-agent/

For widespread distribution, more cutting-edge commentary from Matt Bracken, former SEAL and

author of the Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy, along with his most recent novel, Castigo Cay:

Dear Mr. Security Agent,

Federal, state, or local. You, the man or woman with the badge, the sworn LEO or FLEA and those

who inhabit the many law enforcement niches in between and on all sides. This essay is directed to

you, because in the end, how this turmoil about gun control turns out will depend largely upon your

decisions and actions over the coming months and years.

I sincerely wish that members of Congress—who may soon be voting on new gun control measures—

would read this essay, but I realize that’s a pipe dream, considering the impenetrable bubbles around

those exalted entities. So I’ll settle for you, Mr. (or Ms.) Security Agent, since you already gobble

up everything on the internet, and I don’t have to seek you out.

Lambs without a fence, shepherds without slings

Tomorrow morning, millions of families will send their children off to school. These little lambs are entrusted to their school staff to shepherd them safely through the school day.

But, the lone wolf predator lurks at the edge of the flock, looking for prey to satisfy his evil desire for blood. This lone wolf my be deranged, but he is not entirely stupid. He recognizes the fact that the shepherds don't have slings, the No Slings signs rob the shepherds of any effective means of defeating the predator. Sheep dogs are at best ten minutes away and expensive to keep, and the lambfold becomes a slaughterhouse for the lone wolf.

Some adult sheep, who have an irrational fear of slings, insist that it would be b-a-a-a-d for shepherds to have slings. They bleat that the lambs would not feel good with slings in the fold. They think that a shepherd with an advanced degree can't learn how to effectively use a sling. But sheep David G of NBC sends his little lambs to a school surrounded by sheepdogs; while he has a pouch that holds thirty stones, and surrounds himself with sheepdogs.

Will these sheep continue to have their way, with the same results as in the past? Or will the states pass legislation to allow the shepherds to effectively protect the little lambs?

The electric toothbrush

My electric toothbrush operates for two minutes exactly, then shuts off. Some nights, two minutes seems like an eternity.

Police response time to 911 calls is five times that, about ten minutes. Nobody's fault, that's just the way it is.

Why do some people insist that our children, involuntarily placed in gun free zones (our public schools) wait those ten minutes after the predator has arrived and begun his slaughter?

Law enforcement officers are now trained that the first on the scene goes on in, not waiting for backup. This is to minimize the carnage perpetrated by the predator. Armed and trained teachers, volunteers, and police on the scene can reduce the carnage even more by further reducing the lag time.

Think about that the next time you brush your teeth!

Preaching from the baptistry without a license?

Today, I witnessed someone be baptized in my church. The person read a statement, which, although lengthy, recounted some of the person's history. Then the person launched into a leftist gun-ban diatribe which was totally out of place. This person obviously thinks firearms types that have been available for a hundred years have suddenly become living, breathing organisms with malevolent intent. 

The only effective way to deal with armed school invasions is to meet force with superior force very quickly. This means arming teachers and volunteers. School police officers are great, but too few, and spread out.

Read more on effective response to school invasions in my Examiner column HERE.
