" "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable Rights; that among these, are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the govern ed; that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
~Thomas Jefferson

Newt's made some big mistakes, some were on purpose, and the affairs are terrible ...

Period.

Yet ... Newt's had the courage to publicly ask forgivness, and also publicly say that he's also asked Christ for forgiveness of his sins and transgressions ...

Once-Ler, you're probably like me ... just an average guy ... getting through life ... raising a family ...

We both probably work 50 weeks in an office or drive a truck or build houses ...

You and I HONESTLY don't have a leg to stand-on when it comes to criticiszing Newt ... or Tiger Woods for their stupid immoral transgressions ...

Why ?

First, Christ commands us NOT to ...

Second, "IF" we were powerful or wealthy ... with SCORES of beautiful, intelligent, sensuous Women hounding us EVERY DAY for "incredible" sex ...

how long (precisely) would you be able to say "no" ?

weeks ? months ? years ?

what if your spouse (secretly) spurned you at home, treated you with scorn and disrespect at home, as you slept on the sofa (alone) for weeks at a time ?

You have to admit that it would be "very" difficult to turn-down the emotional affection and more offered by a BEAUTIFUL admiring woman ...

I know that I would have trouble ... I guess that's why The LORD has made either you or I as a "Donald Trump" character in life ... we simply couldn't survive (morally) ...

So let's cut Newt some slack here ... He's supposedly living as a man whose sins Christ has forgiven ...

Just like Christ does for us when we (momentarily) stop and wonder (for a micro-second) what an incredible time we'd have with the beautiful, smiling 30-something single girl over in the next-door checkout aisle at Home Depot ...

and Christ just then reminds us that we're guilty of adultery

This wasn't a lecture, just the truth ...

Best Regards,

Patton-at-Bastogne
