Crazy

Patsy Cline, who died in an airplane crash in 1963, made the country-western song “Crazy” popular. The song had largely been forgotten until the Ross Perot presidential campaigns of 1992 and 1996. He used the song crazy in describing American actions in almost every area.

For elderly Americans, it is hard to realize that a country which has come so far, made so many accomplishments, recognized throughout the world as the zenith of opportunity, has drifted into such crazy acts. I cannot believe, I refuse to believe, that young minds, knowing the history of development in this nation, this nation's lifestyle and promises, will disappear into the tragedy of history, as have so many republics. Many are searching for answers, Time Magazine has searched for the reasons for cow death in Wisconsin, bird and fish deaths in other states, 40,000 acres of wheat death in Oregon.

By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (Hosea 4:2-6)

Around 1350 there was the Black Death in Europe, believed to be caused by the bubonic plague, at other times in Europe, a large part of the population starved from climate changes, agriculture destruction. The Christian believes that God talks with nations through earthquakes, tornadoes, ice and floods. At present, in America, 47 million people are on food stamps, the official unemployment rate is around 17%, the commercial real estate market is the worst in history, more empty buildings than ever before, no shopping centers being built. Such large businesses as Sears, Walmart, Target, experiencing very poor business. The book business, magazines, newspapers failing, we have seen the signals of business failures, deep recession for many years. Those who caused the depression were put in charge of correcting it, like Jesse James appointing friends to ascertain why banks are being robbed.

On 9/11 when our country was attacked, instead of going on a warfooting, the president said, “spend money”. Over and over, the same slop from Washington, nothing is wrong, like a man standing at the car wash telling you that your car is not dirty. Americans have become expedient at putting a smiley face on everything.

In this time of death bias, do not resuscitate (DNR) has been replaced by natural death (ND), abortion has been replaced by pro-choice. In the culture of death which has overtaken our country, evidence today of the clinic in Philadelphia where 8 were killed.

IN HIS SQUALID West Philadelphia black abortion clinic, Kermit Gosnell had a surefire way of dealing with the unwelcome complication of a live birth: He'd allegedly plunge scissors into the squirming newborn's neck, killing it by severing the spinal cord. Sometimes, the elderly physician didn't do this right away. Often, he allegedly gave the chore to his unlicensed office staff. One premature infant wiggled around on a counter for 20 minutes before an untrained worker slit his neck - after first playing with him. Those allegations were among countless bombshells in a 261-page grand-jury report that District Attorney Seth Williams released yesterday.

Gosnell killed "hundreds" of babies and at least two women during abortions from 1979 to last year at his Women's Medical Society at 38th Street and Lancaster Avenue, according to the grand jury. Further, he and his unlicensed, unskilled staff overdosed patients with drugs, perforated their wombs and bowels, and spread venereal disease by using unsterilized equipment, the report said. And although red flags mounted about wrongdoing at the clinic, those with the capacity to stop the carnage, such as the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Department of State, looked the other way, Williams charged.

Gosnell, 69, and nine of his staffers were arrested yesterday morning on charges including murder, infanticide and abuse of a corpse. Williams said he might seek the death penalty for Gosnell in the murders of seven babies born alive and then killed...(Philadelphia Daily News)

Only those who have worked in military hospitals, who have seen the little feet and hands from such butchery can understand man's inhumanity to man, and it is not just the most innocent of life, the elderly as well. As a young duty officer at an Army hospital, I stood with another medical officer and watched the killing of an elderly former surgeon general of the Army. It goes on every day, but most of we “underlings” did not have the political clout to do anything about it. It is crazy, but most Americans want to pretend that these things do not happen. The Democrat party knows this happens, and yet they continue to support such. I do not want anyone who calls himself Christian to tell me he is a Democrat. Even if you do not support horrendous acts you support a party that does. You cannot be a Christian and support the Democrat political party that supports abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and the enslavement of future generations...your own children and grandchildren. Crazier still, using the aborted, dead child, for the growing of vaccines, with which to inoculate children: chicken pox, rubella, etc. Some vaccines are produced from artificial materia media, but most from that of aborted babies.

Commodity prices are the highest in history, cotton and corn is selling higher than ever before. Healthcare is the highest in history, and with the Obama abomination (23,000 pages of government regulations affecting 1/6 of the economy), the nation is apt to sink into absolute depression and bankruptcy. In 1980, the Zimbabwe dollar was equal to the American dollar, today it takes billions of Zimbabwe dollars to buy a loaf of bread. Are we heading in the same direction?

Life is not a destination it is a journey, taking the trip with God gets you through the struggles. Recognize early that it is not your loss, but his faithfulness that matters. The craziest thing in the mind of mortal man is not to take advantage of this power.
