Get a life Don.
I know a lot of folks today are like I am -- down over what is taking place in our country. All is not lost. God is still on the throne. There are things we can do.
- According to 2 Chronicles 2:14 we must repent, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways for him to move.
- Preachers must get their act together, stop preaching a feel-good message, repent and start preaching the Bible. It condemns sin and will bring people under conviction where they will repent and get saved.
- If your pastor does not or will not preach the Bible, band together and pray him out or vote him out, and get one who will preach the Word.
- God said his people perish for lack of wisdom. Time for Christians to start studying the Bible for themselves, and then act on it and live accordingly. Quit trying to straddle the fence. He is the same as always; He has not changed. We have changed. ...
- We need to stay on our elected officials about issues of concern to us. You hear a lot today about Social Security and Medicare going broke in the near future. Had we not killed the millions of unborn children over the past 30-plus years, a lot more would be paying into the system. If going broke, how can Medicare bankroll an insurance company to sell Part B supplements?
My wife and I attended a meeting a few weeks ago and they said they could sell us a Medicare supplement for $37 per month, and each month $50 would be added to the Social Security check. I called the home office and asked who was bankrolling them. They said Medicare was bankrolling them. Why?
It is time to start acting and not just complain.

At first blush I was impressed with Mr. Mathews LTE. He directed his statements to the Christians that might be reading his comments; he did not insist that I, a non-believer, do the same. Good for Mr. Mathews. Unfortunately, Mr. Mathews charged the followers of Christ with the failure of Social and Medicare because of their failure to wage an all out war against "choice." That is a BIG stretch, sir. I will not attack your religious beliefs, sir; but, I surely cannot agree with your conclusions. While I am not promoting abortion, I must say that the more folks paying into the program, the more that will be drawing from it in the end. Eventually it may fail regardless of your position. GGpap
Don, so many have bought, totally, into the "cradle to the grave" socialism the government of Obama has promised them, that your letter will only be understandable to independent thinking, responsible people. The bought voters will just tell you to get a life.
People who believe in imaginary beings do need to get a life...
grouse on Tue May 19, 2009 4:40 AM Are you talking about Obama?
...and if abortion had been illegal, the system would have wound up paying for the horrific results of botched abortions (because there will ALWAYS be abortions, legal or illegal, make no mistake) as well as the health and housing programs for the mothers who could not afford to have a child and would have chosen to continue their education or job training rather than early motherhood. I don't buy your argument for a second, and as GGpap notes, it doesn't belong with the rest of your argument.
And to add to what Hotfoot and GGpap said, there wouldn't be a whole to of people add to SS if abortion was illegal, because women would die by the hundreds of thousands in this country during childbirth, just like they did as recently as 37 years ago. Most, if not all, of the money intended for SS would instead be going towards funeral expenses for these healthy women that were killed by anti-choice laws.
I think you are all missing the point of the article.
Abortion is a form of legalized torture. The only plus side I can see to it is that democrats and some independants are the likely users and are therefore murdering their own political base. Even so, murder of innocent children who have made no conscious effort to hurt or kill anyone are placed on a level lower than a terrorist who makes a conscious effort to kill thousands, if not millions, of people at a time.
Southernguy, how do you know there is so much money to be made in abortions? Show me some figures. Because it's a surgical procedure, and any surgical procedure costs a lot of money. Most places that perform abortions do it at cost with donated services.
Obama did end the drought in Georgia. Face it, he is messianic.
oh yes shivas he's got a gift. defnitely turning republican tears (water) into whine. HALLELUJAH!! barf.

Corgimom, There are so many articles out there that not only proves that abortion is profitable, but that abortion is on the RISE not DECLINE like so many politicians (including Obama) want us to believe.
Man it dosen't take a CONservative long to go from God to money does it. And the transition is practically seamless.
its not just the usa. he is paying for abortions in africa. our tax dollars to kill babies in africa. progressives deep down hate blacks. take justus for example............
Really, LaTwon? Well, then I guess Repuglicans deep down hate women.
Paul claimed his rights as a Roman Citizen, and proclaimed his faith to the roman courts. Paul's example should be followed. Great LTE! Christian's are encouraged, by the bible, to protest the government, and stand up for their rights. Jesus also taught that if someone does not accept the Good News then we are to move on. To those that oppose Christianity, you made your God given choice. That does not mean, Christians, should give up their rights granted by the US Constitution to appease you.
so r you saying that only male babies are murdered hotfoot?
It is the womans choice either way,,, for christians only GOD can judge so leave it alone. for non-believers Its still your choice,,, One moment you scream murder and in the next breath you cry out MY TAX DOLLARS!!! pick a side and stick to it!
Well said milton1874 on your 9:54am post.
Yeah Hootfot, if you don't use taxpayer money to abort a weekend indiscretion it means you hate women. Good thinking. Dem voter?
good side southernguy. I like it. Why shouldn't parents be made to be responsible? I have been responsible for my kids that I produced. Why should I have to be responsible for someone else's kids?
Abortion clinics have a profit of ONLY 3%. THREE PERCENT! Meaning that the OTHER 97% of the money Planned Parenthood and others like them get go solely towards donations. Get the facts, not the misogynist spin. Abortion is NOT torture, not in the least bit of sense. Capital punishment is legalized torture, just like waterboarding. And I know the names of some of the women who have died from anti-choice laws, southernguy08. My best suggestion to ALL of the misogynists on here -- both male AND female -- is to just SHUT UP! You know nothing about this issue!
Willi you missed the point, the Doctors are making the money. Even if its unplanned parent hoodlums making the payment the doctor still get his money.
Pat, as long as Rush and Hannity are spouting their hate propaganda, please don't talk about anyone else.
