The Children's Crusade

          There are multitudes of applicants all over the world waiting for paperwork to be completed to come to America and become citizens, and to honor us in this endeavor. They still see us as we once were, a land full of promise where any man and every man has an opportunity to follow a dream. What must go through their minds as they hear about the lawlessness on our border and read about our lawless president that makes a mockery of their patience?
          Those children who have crossed our southwest border in this debacle should be treated as our own children, with every comfort, nourishment and medical attention possible........until they are returned. This mess has very little to do with immigration. These are not refugees...they are pawns! It's a political ploy.....and damn anyone who gets in the way or suffers in the process. It's actually more than merely a political ploy, it's an ideological ploy... one more piece in the puzzle to bring America to its knees, an ideological gambit hatched in the darkness of either the world's ultra rich or the Communist playing his end-game, or both.
          One tact being used is to shame the Christian for not having compassion on the children. Compassion on the children is what this is all about. Without an America that is a ray of hope, a strong arm when needed and most of all a promulgator of the Gospel of Jesus Christ every child in this world will suffer! When the Soviet Union imploded, Leninist/Marxists did not all of a sudden give up their totalitarianism cause, nor did the Chinese leadership relinquish state control of the people's lives after they incorporated some aspects of capitalism. Communism is a dialectic that will change every outward appearance if it has to to keep the nightmare alive. Compassion is born in truth and in laws and in justice, not in lies, in chaos and in corruption. Compassion is in defending liberties, freedoms and law and order and then calling others in, not in giving them a bait & switch.
          Immigration has always been a jewel in America's crown and hopefully, should God have mercy upon us and pull us out of the muck and mire of spiritual and intellectual idolatry, it will continue to be so! My great-grandparents were immigrants and just about every American citizen can say something like that. We need more immigrants, many more, and they should see welcoming arms. Illegal immigration efforts have distorted this beauty and amnesty would be but one more nail in the coffin of our rule of law. If these people win we can make up signs welcoming the millions given amnesty and those signs should read...... welcome..... welcome.....to Cuba.....or Venezuela, for it won't be anything like America any more.

The Children's Crusade

          We don't know the specifics on what happened in the Children's Crusade of the early 13th century, for there are not many original sources to refer to, but I think that we can conclude this much, that at the invitation of someone, thousands of people, many of whom were children, started marching towards the Holy Land. Their purity and innocence would surely convert the Muslims and their success would shame the very act of war itself. How many died, how many quickly returned home, and how many were robbed and even enslaved, we don't know.
          Solomon's words ring true in this today for there surely is "nothing new under the sun." Barack Obama is the Pied Piper behind the disgrace at our southwest border. Whoever came up with this idea got it out of the bowels of the netherworld. These children were to shame us into amnesty. And why do Democrats want amnesty? Is it compassion for peoples who want to come to America? No. It's all Machiavellian politics. Amnesty represents Democrats winning elections for years to come no matter how corrupt and destructive they are. Why does the Republican establishment want amnesty... and they do? Is it an act of fairness on their part, even at a great cost to Americans? No again. They think that they can be competitive for those new votes. Putting myself in their place for a moment, in their exalted positions, with all their perks and a pension that would never lead one to worry about little things like Obamacare.....it must bring sheer terror to them to think about losing their seats in Congress and no longer be introduced as "the Honorable.....so and so "
          So the children are merely pawns in this real life game of medi-evil chess. And the rest of us are left to appear as the bad guys and clean up the mess. And yet it is only one of many abominable acts that this administration has involved us in. Stabbing Israel in the back is another, lying and spying on everyone..everywhere is another, an unjust Justice Department is another, a political IRS is another, a looming police state is another, a politically correct military is another, man-made global warming is yet another, and on and on and on....these people are not capable of telling the truth. Their mind's software never incorporated algorithms....only Al Gore....ithms!
