The Constituion vs. Sharia Law

The scriptures teach us to "love our neighbors as ourselves" and to reach out as The Good Samaritan did to the beaten man who was left to die.

Loving others as ourselves does not mean we sacrifice our own welfare and safety to others without hesitation.

What about the kidnapping and subsequent horrors experienced by the young girl, Elizabeth Smart? It would be informative to get her take on how she protects and teaches her own children as they interact with strangers.

Several of my own immigrant ancestors left Missouri after the "Extermination Order" was ordered by Governor Boggs, and some are buried at Winter Quarters in Nebraska as a result. They were not welcome in the United States. I'm not bitter about that because it all turned out in the end.

I am opposed to allowing those who believe in or practice Sharia Law to emigrate to the United States because Sharia Law is a direct assault to The US Constitution and is not compatible with the laws of our nation. People who want to emigrate to the United States need to be vetted. This is common sense that isn't so common.

So there you go. History will surely reveal an answer to the question, "Will the US Constitution survive with or without Sharia Law?"

Preserve The Constitution

Here's a reminder from a dear friend of mine:

"I am voting to preserve the Constitution, not to verify anyone's righteousness."

The Equality of Women

Hillary Clinton is for the equality of women:

• unless it is her husband who is the sexual predator,
• unless millions of dollars are accepted by her family foundation from countries who stone women for their "sins" and deny them the right to show their faces in public,
• unless "deplorable, irredeemable"members of her gender refuse to embrace her character,
• unless her political ambition interferes with the lives of millions of female fetuses who have no voice or vote,
• unless her shady record in government "service" and tedious trail of lies are challenged by an inconsequential woman like me.

If They Shall Serve God

Ether 2:7 "And the Lord would not suffer that they (Jared and his brother, and their families, and also the friends of Jared and his brother and their families) should stop beyond the sea in the wilderness, but he would that they should come forth even unto the land of promise (the American continent), which was choice above all other lands, which the Lord God had preserved for a righteous people.
8. And he had sworn in his wrath unto the brother of Jared, that whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should serve him, the true and only God, or they should be swept off when the fulness of his wrath should come upon them.
9. And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity.
10. For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the fulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are swept off.
11. And this cometh unto you, O ye Gentiles, that ye may know the decrees of God--that ye may repent, and not continue in your iniquities until the fulness come, that ye may not bring down the fulness of the wrath of God upon you as the inhabitants of the land have hitherto done.
12. Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written."

How many ways are there to say it, and how many times do we have to be told?

*below is an excerpt from THE FAMILY: A Proclamation to the World 
by The First Presidency and Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and presented by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society meeting September 23, 1995 in Salt Lake City, Utah

"We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God.
Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society."

Step Aside for Mike Pence

Dear Mr. Trump,

Thank you for starting the "Make America Great Again" movement.
I believe that behind all your bluster lies the heart of a man who loves his country.
But you no longer have a chance to win the presidency.
Only one American is poised to make the sacrifice for his country that is needed now.
Only one, and that is you.
Please show the character behind the "Make America Great Again" movement by
stepping aside and allowing Mike Pence to take us home.

Can America Be Great Again?

Dear American Voter,
I am 70 years old.
Some of my friends say America can never be great again;
That the American Dream we knew and cherished is dead.
They believe the mainstream media, and say it's SO.
Please tell me the truth.
Can America really be great again?

Tend the Garden of Freedom

Let's get something straight.
The 2016 presidential election isn't about choosing between two candidates. Not really.
Forget about the who-done-its, the who-didn't-do-its, the who's-gonna-do-its and all the theatrics.

The 2016 presidential  election is really a choice between;

• rescuing our indivisible, Constitutional, beacon-of-the-free-world America OR 
• wrapping the broken Obama "legacy" with an Ace bandage and limping on, to include more;  
• class warfare
• imploding entitlements
• secrecy and deception
• unmanaged immigration
• refusal to label and eradicate Islamic terrorism
• jobs relocated overseas
• crippling debt
• devastating foreign policies
• erosion of the military
• and much more talk from a woman who has spent 30+ years amassing a fortune at it.

The evidence of failures from Obama's "lead from behind" crew could not be more clear.
We preview seeds of division, anarchy and terror as they germinate daily on tv and social media.
Those seeds are now sprouting everywhere in our land, maybe in your neighborhood or mine.
We've had Quite Enough of Obama's "fundamental transformation of America."

Now is the time to replace talk with action. Now is the time to tend the garden of freedom.
