Why We Must Stand With Perry

Around 590 B.C. (or, for those who are set on removing God from even our calendar, 590 B.C.E.) Israel found itself mired in the destruction of their national identity.  The elders who had been transported to Tel Abib (south of Babylon) inquired of Ezekiel concerning their condition and the destruction of Jerusalem.  The message of the elders to God was, “O.K. God, we’ve learned our lesson.  Now give us back our identity, our land and our temple and we’ll try to do better.”   Ezekiel relays a message from God to the leaders, “Judgment has come upon you.  There are 2 things that I cannot tolerate:

1)     the shedding of innocent blood,
2)     the abomination of unrestrained participation in sexual perversion,”
(Ezekiel 20)

1) The shedding of innocent blood occurred in the practice of sacrificing children to the idols of the Baalim.

As a nation we have allowed abortion to become the law of the land.  Close to 3,500 unborn babies are killed each day.  Approximately 50 million babies have been killed since 1973.  A generation of potential tax payers for social security, potential doctors, lawyers, scientists, educators, accountants, computer programmers, engineers, farmers, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, painters and garbage collectors as well as future moms and dads were denied the right to live and enrich our society.  Seeping into the national landscape is the legal right hidden in Obamacare to end the life of the elderly, the infirmed and the handicapped.  What's next? Could the government approve of genocide due to race or religion or other defining background?  How about the poor or uneducated?  When one belongs to a user group instead of a provider group, could genocide be the next step?  Where is our outrage?  Where is our disgust?  WHERE IS OUR CONSCIOUS?

2) The practice of perverted sexual abominations occurred with the licentious participation of sexual free-for-all.  This practice was also part of the worship of Baalim as young ladies and young men reached the age of puberty and were required to serve at the temple of the idol.  These young people were required to raise a temple tax by fees paid for their sexual favors. Men came to have sex with their young girls and young boys donating for the services to help raise the funds for the tithe.  Upon fulfillment of the tax, these young people were allowed to return home.

The abominations of Sodom and Gomorrah have gained acceptability in a land where marriage between a male and female were once considered a holy and respected relationship.  As the political landscape of the liberal courts has approved legalization of partner unions, we need not to be deceived.  It is not validation for homosexual relationships that is the goal of liberal politics; it is the destruction of the home as God designed it. The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is promoting the destruction of marriage and seeks to allow any consenting adult to participate.  Will multi-party marriages come next?  Will we invite the Muslim practice of multiple wives to be a legal entity as Sharia law replaces our constitution as the law of the land under the banner of tolerance and Political Correctness?

Governor Rick Perry is a conservative of conviction, not of convenience. On the bedrock issues of life, marriage  Perry’s conservative values are clear and consistent, and his record backs up his rhetoric. Perry's history has always shown an unwavering stand in defense of life, family and marriage.

"If elected, Perry would support a ban on tax dollars for abortion and a human life amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He will only appoint judges with a demonstrated commitment to the Constitution and interpreting the law as written, as he has done consistently as governor.
Perry has signed more pro-life legislation than any other governor in the history of his state, including:

• A Parental Consent law for minors
• The Prenatal Protection Act, which recognizes the personhood of an unborn child
• The Woman’s Right to Know Act, requiring informed consent
• A ban on late-term abortions
• A law ensuring pregnant women receive a sonogram prior to an abortion
• Defunded Planned Parenthood

Perry strongly supports traditional marriage. He signed the state Defense of Marriage Act and supported a marriage amendment to the state constitution, and he would do the same as president."

Will we continue down the road of ancient Judah and find our society destroyed by our own lusts?  Or will we learn the lessons of history and return to the traditional values that helped make this country the blessed nation that we have been?
