Herod, the Rome appointed king of Judea, feeling threatened by the news of the birth of the king of the Jews in Bethlehem, took measures to eliminate this possible opponent to the throne. Knowing the approximate time of the birth he ordered the slaughter of all the children under the age of two in Bethlehem and “in all the coasts thereof.” This was probably carried out by war-ready, experienced Roman soldiers, accustomed to battling equally fierce adversaries with shields and swords. This horror was almost certainly witnessed by weeping, pleading mothers whose children were torn from their loving arms – but they wept in vain for “In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.” Hitler's Third Reich thugs, during a horrific short reign of terror, systematically carried out the mass murder of six million European Jews - those who lived within the borders of their own country as well as citizens of the countries the Germans invaded and subjugated. The German Jews had previously been productive, contributing members of the very country that now deemed them unfit. The empowered NAZI officials, more like gangsters, had managed to convince a German population of the total lack of value of their previous friends, neighbors, coworkers, doctors, and teachers. This happened in a structured, censored society where all available media was controlled by the state or their minions. German officials isolated the incredulous, unsuspecting Jews, singled them out and branded them with a yellow star of David and stripped them of their dignity, as well as their property. As part of the Final Solution to the Jewish problem the Germans scheduled the Jews for relocation - generally to concentration camps specifically built adjacent railroad tracks. Most of these camps were in other countries. The hapless victims, with minimal belongings, were loaded into windowless boxcars for a dark journey into the unknown. Upon arrival, the doors of the overcrowded boxcars were opened, blinding the inhabitants with the unaccustomed daylight. The victims were assailed by guards, armed with guns and dogs. The old, the young and the infirm were sent in one direction while those who appeared fit were sent in the opposite direction. Those who appeared sturdy would provide war time slave labor for the Reich until they were worn and starved by the less than meager, once a day rations. Loving and concerned mothers attempted to hide, protect or trade places with their vulnerable children. They would willingly have given their own lives for those of their children. There was pleading and inconsolable weeping but to no avail. Merciless guards executed their duties, apparently loyal to the strident, screaming fuehrer and his promise of the 1000 year Reich. With relatively modern technology and financial support from the west, they expedited their final solution to the Jewish problem. The numerous chimneys endlessly spewed forth smoke, evidence of the hideous, inhumane crimes. The United States, a republic, is a Christian country founded on Judeo Christian principles. Can we, in any way, be compared to Herod or to Hitler and the barbaric behaving Nazis? No, our denial is loud and clear, we are completely, drastically different. Our people are enlightened, well educated and we have civil rights and freedoms. Women in America have equal rights - it is the discordantly blaring mothers who actually, unbelievably demand the right to slaughter their own pre-born children. Their passionate demands are met by a socialistic, activist unelected supreme court and allowed by a morally corrupt congress – both of which completely ignore the very constitution they have sworn to uphold. What happened to the three branches of government designed with checks and balances to protect the citizens? What about the guarantee of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone including pre-born children? Are the pre-born children considered unfit? The socialist agenda apparently targets the pre-born but womanhood and motherhood are the real targets. Congressional and Supreme Court misdeeds are applauded by those who are persuaded that they own their bodies and can therefore do whatever they want with it. Somehow, they see absolutely no correlation between doing whatever they want with their own body and doing whatever they want to someone else’s body. The socialist philosophy persuades women that their body has more value than the infant they carry. They feel perfectly justified to have their children torn from them, not from their loving arms by a heartless enemy but literally torn piece by piece from their wombs. Obviously, legal permission, according to the all powerful state, has been granted but does that make it permissible? The defining difference between a socialist and a Christian is that the socialist does not acknowledge a difference between right and wrong. Whatever is expedient is right - whether it is a lie to cover guilt for the supposed good of the country, infanticide for convenience, euthanasia to cover guilt, power for the sake of self aggrandizement or compliance for the sake of a vote. The state can permit sin but not without eventual accountability. Politics without principles are destructive to humanity starting with the most vulnerable. The socialists can spin and endorse new terminology but one cannot change the consequences by calling it termination of pregnancy or abortion. The results are still the same. One cannot alter the sanctity of life by changing the word from baby to fetus. Children are viewed as a blessing in a God fearing society but as an inconvenient cursing in a selfish, godless materialistic world. In our throw away society we have thrown away about 44 million individuals – 44 million lives, people who could have contributed their talents to the country. They might have been teachers, doctors, engineers, friends, neighbors, sons and daughters. As of 2002 approximately 82% of adult United States citizens claimed to be Christian. Christianity does not promote infanticide for He said let the little children come unto me. Further He stated that whosoever would offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Yet one in five of those who have abortions are professed Christians. How can this be? Adherence to the state over adherence to our higher authority? We must speak with their votes, as well as our voices, so as to be heard above the Herods, the Hitlers and others who have ignorantly or knowingly embraced the socialist agenda. They often utilize verbal volume when they lack truth and substance. Their lies sound beneficial and benign but are deceptive and destructive. They entrap the desperate and the selfish who are looking for an easy way out. Accepting responsibility for personal actions is not a part of their personal strategy. We must take a stand for those who cannot stand for themselves. Stand up for the 44 million and be counted. When people accept and tolerate everything, including infanticide, they end up believing in nothing, not even their own posterity.
