THE PROBLEM, the real social problem, is a lack of treatment for mental health issues. Not gun control.joshhuntnm said:When the dust settles, what should we do in response to the shooting? Do we need armed guards in every school?
America spends trillions of dollars (we don't have) to finance murder of foreign persons to advance the cause of American hegemony. America sacrifices decent medical treatment of its own to finance war on a global scale. God will never bless America or any other nation that does such things.
The most highly decorated Marine Corps General in US history, Smedley D. Butler understood all too well the real nature of the US Marine Corps and US foreign policy in general when he concluded after his retirement in 1931 that;
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service, and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."
The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killings.
- Major Ralph Peters
Why is it ok to murder innocent people in foreign nations? Young Americans who do that are called heroes. Why is it a crime to murder innocent people at home? Young Americans who do that are called criminals. What's the difference? Americans do not see the disfunction in that attitude and that is why our children are dying!
"The US government is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1966)
THE ISSUE is a lack of proper treatment of the mentally ill. Period. It isn't gun control, which is a rights issue - it IS the decent care of the aged and infirm that is the issue.
My daughter is a mental health care giver in the state of Florida. We have more than our quota of homeless and mentally deficient people who simply cannot function on their own without supervision. NOBODY CARES! NOBODY. Government and private financial support is melting away faster than snowballs in mid-July. Meanwhile our fascist police state continues to whittle away at our rights, including the right of self-defense.
IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA, HE WILL OWE SODOM AND GOMORRAH AN APOLOGY!
America has forgotten God. We have forbidden prayer and petitions for divine grace in our schools and when horror and death is visited upon us we stupidly cry out that the guns are to blame. American pride has blinded us to the truth - that we have tossed God out with the garbage and all we are left with is the refuse of our own insanity.
American has denied God. America hates God and the very intimation that sin is evil. Satan is worshipped in every city in the land and displays of the baby Jesus with His earthly parents is forbidden in public. The blood of Christ upon the cross is mocked. Instead we are treated to the sight of the blood of our own children on the ground. Tell me somebody, what is there to be proud of in America these days? We have become a nation of liars, thieves and murderers on an international scale as well as at home. People greedily stampede over each other to buy electronic toys or expensive sneakers and just as eagerly shout down anyone who preaches the gospel and peace.
God bless America? I think not. What we see is God judging America, damning the country and taking away the backbone of its pride; its money, its sense of peace and safety, its international reputation and even its dear sweet innocent children.
Will America wake up? We are drunk on war and the lusts of our own appetites. Our children and our future is being sacrificed upon the altar of selfish pride and arrogance. America has become a fascist police state and our future is as dark and horrible as any Jew in 1930's Germany could imagine.
The call to wake up has gone forth and America has not responded.
It will now take more than a jolt of caffein to awaken America.
It will take blood and lots of it.
The hand of God is against America!
If we do not repent of our sins on a national scale, worse things, much worse things are about to visit us.
There's more death and loss and tears to come - and you know it.
but that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...
