Million Vaginas, HI and THANK YOU!

YAY!!!!!  My blog was re-tweeted.  I think that this is the first time that I have been re-tweeted on my political blog.  The blog was about my initial feelings on the restrictions on the Abortion law signed by Mike Pence.  I applaud Governor Pence for taking the gauntlet and signing his name to a law that he morally believed in.  He signed a law that will either help in his re-election or it will make him a four term governor only.  We need leaders of any political party to be honest living a life as a leader that is from their hearts.  For example, I may not agree with Senator Bernie Sanders, but he has said that he is a socialist.  I applaud him for it because President Obama is still trying to convince the country that he actually cares about the constitution.  He loves his pen and his phone in order to sign executive orders.  Which leader would you rather have?  The leader who does his best to pull the wool over our eyes or the governor that votes his morality and ethics.  My choice would be the leader that will not worry about his re-election, but will sign his name to a law that he feels morally doesn’t contradict his soul.  Glenn Beck ask those politicians he interviews, “How is your soul?”  I feel that we know the soul of Mike Pence.  He doesn’t go with the popular crowd just to have a political gain, yet he will sign a law that he believes in is the right thing to do for those who are not yet born to have a voice.  What does this have to do with the group Million Vaginas? 
            The group Million Vaginas re-tweeted my blog regarding the restrictions on abortions because the child has Down syndrome, disability or any other special needs.  The law also includes that women have restrictions including sex, race or nationality of the child.  Why did the group re-tweet?  My assumption is that I disagree with their “I am woman hear me roar” mantra.  I agree with the mantra, but then my mantra includes, “I am woman hear me roar because I believe in God, my husband is the head of the household, women should own guns, staying at home is ok and at my age I will not abort my child should I get pregnant.”  Or “I am a God fearing, Jesus loving, gun toting, tea party sympathizer, Libertarian.”  I agree, “I am woman hear me roar.”  YAY!!!! 
            If you do not know who Million Vaginas are here is there mission statement from their website. https://onemillionvaginas.wordpress.com/about/
“To encourage and inspire women from all over America, all ages, all beliefs, all kinds of lives and experiences from all 50 states, and the friends and family that love and cherish them, to come together and stop allowing our most personal decisions to be fodder for the Neo-Con political hash mill. Our lives are not their moral crises, our choices are not their ethical lapses.

If you think you’re too small to make an impact, remember how annoying it is to try and sleep with a mosquito in your bedroom. We took back the night, now it’s time to take back control over our reproductive destiny.  One person can take a stand, one million individuals is a force to be reckoned with. Be heard!”

I do not think that they will be calling this God fearing, stay at home mom, gun toting mama anytime soon.  They accept all women?  I don’t think that they would accept me.  Why? Because I am a conservative woman that does not believe that abortion is the answer because you couldn’t find it in yourself to close your legs or use BIRTH CONTROL.  Have a good evening.  I was re-tweeted.  YAY ME!

Indiana Abortion Law

The talk in Indiana especially with women regarding the law that Mike Pence signed a month ago.   This law highlights Abortion restrictions here in the state of Indiana.  The restrictions according to Indystar.com is as follows, a woman can not have an abortion if the child is faced with the diagnosis of Down Syndrome.  The other restrictions are that a woman can not get an abortion in accordance with race, nationality or sex of the child.  I honestly being a woman myself have nothing wrong with this bill.  
     My thoughts and belief on the subject has changed over the years.  I was pro-choice when I voted for primarily democrat liberal leaning leaders in both state and national elections.  I believed that a woman if she were in the first trimester of pregnancy could get an abortion, but in that second trimester termination of the pregnancy should not be allowed nationally or by the state.  I also believed that a sixteen year old child should have written and accompanied by a parent or guardian. This in my eyes was perfectly reasonable and something both liberal and conservative citizens could agree on.  In the last few years as my relationship with God changed with seeking a all encompassing relationship with God and allowing him to be first place my positions both spiritually and politically began to change.  I began to ask myself "what if " questions.  " What if I knew my son would be autistic?"  "Would I end my pregnancy because he is Autistic?"  My answer was a definite, " No!" Yes things have been challenging as a mom of a child with special needs.  I would not want my son to change anything about him.  I love his mannerism, he is my first son and child and I love who he has become.  He is a historically funny kid.  If I were asked, " What if he had Downs Syndrome?" My answer would be the same as the first.  
     These special needs are not a death sentences and I am a offended by groups such as, "Periods for Pence" who call the Governor with their reports on how well their periods are doing that week or day.     This organization is disgusting.  Mike Pence does not care about your menstrual cycle.  Governor Pence cares that a baby with Down Syndrome can be so easily cast aside because people are too lazy to cross their legs or use birth control.  I know it is easy for me to say then practice.  It really is just that easy.
     I didn't have children until I was married and I had enough sense to know that I was too old to have children when I met the love of my life, Barry, and married the second time.  I have four amazing kids and the thought that I could have made a choice years ago because I would have missed out on all the fun does not enter my mind.  These children are from God.  

Please think twice before making a life altering decision.  There are people who would love to adopt and there are ways to help you be the parent that you were meant to be.  God doesn't make mistakes.  He makes angels.

The Progressive Millennial

The Progressive Millennial apparently goes to Ivy Tech.  He is about 20, years old and has a condescending tone.  When I was asked by this student if I worship Reagan I was apparently stunned by the question.  I was stunned by the question because I knew the answer in my head.  NO.  I do not worship Reagan.  I was five when he became President.  I only know a few sound bites about the man.  I know he had a friendship with Gorbachev, his wife had a "Just say no" program that I had to sit through during school assemblies and he bombed Libya and after that I had not heard anything since the attack on Benghazi.  All things I respected about President Reagan.  I am a conservative.  I do not worship anyone other than God. 
     I explained my stance of who I was as a conservative.  I am a conservative.  I am 41, years old, a mom, husband, daughter and friend.  I believe in Jesus.  I am for smaller government and I am pro-life.  I do not buy into the idea of because you do not want the baby that it is something of a burden.  There are people out there that would be proud to give a child a home. I have a friend of mine that is also a fellow blogger who went clear across the world because God was calling her to adopt a child from Serbia.  This is love.  Love is obeying what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do.  Yes its a feeling but it is more of an action and a show of faith.  These are my beliefs as a conservative.  My faith does not make me perfect it makes me forgiven.  I am forgiven, but I am not perfect. 

     This young man had a perception of me that I honestly didn't help to dismantle by my use of language.  Yes, I am angry.  I am angry because when I debate someone who is 20 years my junior felt the need to compare me with the Trump supporters that are over the top because of their anger.  I really hate to say it, but I get the anger.  When the Progressive Millennial who is not an American and wants to leave lecturing me about my conservatism with anger and hate then I become defensive and angry as well.  There will never be a moment that I forget the looks that I see when people look at me with disgust because of my NRA MOM bumper sticker.  I do not forget the moments when my children were brought into a conversation online with malice towards me.  I do not forget reading how Dana Loesch and children were threatened.  The hate will end this country.  The Progressive Millennial will be the down fall of this country because their inability to get along in this world without a handout or a feel good government policy to get them through life has been manifested into the Bernie or Trump supporter.  I get the Trump supporter.  There is a better way to channel the angry of the country's downfall.

Dear Donald Trump

Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump,

     I am surprised  that you have made it this far in order to become a viable contender.  I guess that anyone who has announced their candidacy for the highest office in the land is a viable contender.  Mr. Trump you are something special.  Its amazing that you are still around after cursing on the campaign trail, implying that Megyn Kelly is a bimbo, Ted Cruz is a P@%$* and demeaning Rubio by calling him "little Rubio".  It is amazing that people still support you.  It is what you said to a reporter that really turned me off from the start.  The below link is from TheYoungTurks.

     As a Christian my right to worship is very important to me.  This is extended to all persons of faith.  It is part of my of faith and a citizen of this country to support others right to worship as they please.  There is never any point in this country where a certain group should be on any kind of registry or data base.  This happened in World War II after Pearl Harbor to the Japanese.  This is not who we are and we should never repeat the past.  Americans as well as yourself Mr. Trump seem to have forgotten our nations past and the world's past (Hitler's registry of the Jewish people). 
     Yes I will pray for your safety and the safety of your family if you should become our President.  I have done so for all Presidents even though I may disagree with a particular President.  The campaign is about showing people that you can be presidential not a showman or that you pay attention to sound bites.  This is what you are a walking Fox News sound bite.  I like Fox News.  Congrats.  Hillary Clinton will probably be President.  I can not imagine the overwhelming evil that will be brought to this country during a Donald J. Trump Administration.

Thank you for your time.  The actual probability that you will read this is a million to one. 

Good Luck

Tuesdays in 2016

     It is another Tuesday in America.  This year in 2016, we Americans are being bombarded by debates.  On this particular Tuesday is yet another group of primaries.  There seems to be a small minority who may care about this process.  I guess I can't say a small minority because Trump supporters seem to be just following instead of actually looking long and hard at the candidate of their dreams. 
     Although, I disagree with them I understand the anger that persist in America today.  The choice of who they are calling a conservative seems odd.  Trump brings to the table years of financially supporting Democrats such as, Hillary Clinton for his own gain.  He supports single payer healthcare and is a big supporter of the healthcare mandate.  The same mandate that says if you don't have healthcare you have to pay for it at tax time.  Barry and I had to pay $500, so we have felt this burden.  We are not fans. There has to be a better candidate.  In my eyes there is in the name of Ted Cruz. 
     Ted Cruz is my guy because he has been consistent since his Senate race in Texas.  I love his 10% across the board tax rate.  All of this being said if Ted Cruz is not nominated I will not support Trump.  I will vote Libertarian.  Does this mean a Hillary Presidency?  Yes, I can't vote for someone I don't believe in and I will as I did with Obama in 2012,  I wish her well.  I will pray for her safety and the safety of her family.  Cruz has my support until such a scenario takes place.

Praying for Sanity

     We are at a milestone on Super Tuesday. This is because today a good number of states in the union will be voting in primaries and caucuses. These states have a choice between the Constitution and a fascist and two socialist. Donald Trump has called women names, said that he is going to register Muslims, cursed and here lately will not disavow David Duke who was a leader of the KKK. The idea of this man saying he is a Christian is laughable to me. Then I leave that last bit to God to take control. All of this is in God’s control. 
     What can we do as a people who love our country and as Christian? It is pretty simple. We can pray. In one of Paul’s letters he writes to pray in everything and to never quit praying. I am not a Bible scholar, so I am paraphrasing. Today’s Super Tuesday and we can leave it up to God’s will. If it doesn’t go our way regardless pray again and praise God. There is a lesson here. We are giving what is God’s to man. We are giving our rights and even our relationship with God is going to man. Think about what you are willing or not willing to give up. My life is not for sell. #ChooseCruz if that doesn’t work out #FeeltheJohnson

Goodbye America

There is something going on in the country when the top person running for President is saying he could shoot people and he still wouldn't lose votes.  Let me get this straight his supporters like him because he says anything that comes off the top of his head.  Well let me tell you Mr.  Trump in case you have forgotten this country is a republic not a dictatorship.
