"It's funny....but when I was a liberal (God forgive me), I thought America was messed up pretty bad... now that I'm conservative.. I still think we're messed up pretty bad.. just in a different way than I thought before... "
WAS blind......but now I see.

amen to that pj!
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Several years ago I read a Christian-Fiction book called "A Perfect Persecution". In that book, euthanasia is common. Right to die becomes "duty to die". Abortions are state ordered after state-ordered testing reveals an imperfect "fetus", and innocent babies in the womb are referred to as "meat". And I thought, after I read this book..."That stuff will never happen, but it was an interesting read."
I re-read that book several days ago. Stayed up 'til 4:30 a.m. to finish it because I was so stunned. Many of the laws cited in the first part of the book have already become reality. We're headed toward bringing much more of that book into the non-fiction world. And I don't know when I will sleep again. I'm not kidding. My heart is broken. I hate the America my beautiful child will inherit. It's not that life has no value, only that "certain" life has no value.
God help us. God help us all. Non-Christians and liberals are so upset about having morals "pushed" onto them. Quite frankly, I'm abso-freakin-lutely sick and tired of these people systematically trying to tie me to the sled on which they're sliding to hell. I've made mistakes, gigantic ones, sins even -- things I'm ashamed of. But I never expected anyone else to enable or accompany me down the awful path I took.
I'm sorry this is so long and disjointed. I'm emotionally exhausted, like many of us.
