Did we make the endangered species list?

[FCTP]

Before I begin, let me assure everyone reading this that I love animals.  We have three dogs, two cats, eight koi, five laying hens and two bird feeders.  (Sounds much like a Christmas song doesn’t it)  We love animals and we spend a lot of time and money taking care of their needs. 

 

You would think I would be thrilled with reading that the Obama administration took steps to add more than 500 species of the animal planet to the Endangered Species List.  News about Endangered Species List  I wasn’t thrilled.

 

All of a sudden there is a “fast and furious” attempt to get these animals on the list.  For some reason, this administration loves things that go fast and furious such as the eroding of our liberties, pushing through legislation in the dead of night, handing off weapons to Mexican cartels, and racing to get loans secured for bankrupt solar companies who give money to Obama’s campaign.

 

Here’s the irony to this latest attempt to save the animals on this list.  Isn’t this the same group who repeats over and over again that we were not created by God?  Lest we forget that we evolved?  So if animals are still evolving, who are we to worry about their endangered status?   Maybe they are evolving away and their time is up?  (Don’t hit me – remember I love animals)

 

Isn’t this the same group who believes it is okay to abort innocent little babies from their mother’s womb?  Has the Obama administration added Unborn Babies to the list of endangered species?  Are they regulating abortion clinics to ensure that all unborn babies are protected and allowed to live?  Did We the People make the list of the endangered species?

 

Forgive me for being cynical.  When a “slimy American eel and tiny Texas kangaroo rat” have more liberties than We the People, you know there is something wrong in America.  Our culture has been turned inside out and we are watching our country’s foundation destroyed one regulation at a time.

 

The last two years has worn a hole in our trust level with the government.  Back door legislation from the White House through bureaucratic departments does not create warm and fuzzy feelings between We the People and our government.    The right side of the aisle looking very similar to the left side of the aisle does not create those warm and fuzzy feelings either.   Candidates saying one thing in a debate and finding their records do not match their words also do not create warm and fuzzy feelings.

 

I would like to introduce you to the only one who I can put my trust in…that would be the God of the universe and the one who created you and me and the tiny kangaroo rat in Texas.  He created the unborn babies and accepted them back to heaven when they left the womb way too early. 

 

This is the same God our founding fathers looked to when they wrote our freedom documents.  This is the same God who says in Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG) “I know what I am doing.  I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”

 

When I read the stories of corruption at the top of our Governmental structure and all the way down to city commissions, I know His plans are bigger than what we see.

 

When persecution comes through untrue stories about those in this movement, I lean into Him for comfort and reassurance we are doing the right thing.

 

When the days are long and the suffering is too, I rely on Him and His promise for my future.  

 

When all is fast and furious around us, I repeat my favorite scripture verse, “Be still and know that I am God.”

 

As we read the headlines, watch the political games and we uncover the stories hidden from us, remember this… these men who believe they control our lives are tiny – as tiny as the kangaroo rat.   God can place them in the palm of His hands and with a flick of His finger send them away to do no more harm.  He also has the ability to tenderly take you in His hands and assure you all is right with the world for those who believe in Him.

 

May your weekend be filled with wonderful memories and warm and fuzzy feelings with your family, friends and your God.

Pat,

From what I am gathering,  Marco Rubio can be removed from the hero to zero list.  I have heard he will not oppose agenda 21 and may even defacto support it via Victoria Baer

PS............thanks Billie.  You are  a super star!

[Patricia M. McBride]

Roma, it is true.  He can't replace our economy with something more to his liking (with him in control of it to be sure it is "fair" of course) unless he destroys what we have.  He knows he is finished.  He can't help but see that his numbers are tanking, so I would look for the next year to be a real trial for our legislators, and we still have so many legislators who will vote on anything instead of saying NO.  We need more Allen Wests.  We need more Marco Rubios and people who still have the good sense God gave them and understand what is being done and can see it for what it is..............totally shameful!

[Steve Tikas]

Sounds like they want to make it harder to build and develop things to me.  Just another excuse for why we can't build something somewhere.  Like the baby caraboo in Alaska that give them an excuse for us not to drill or any one of the other many stories were some odd animal no one has ever heard of stops development and growth.

REGULATION, Money for BIG GOVT, and Demise of the American Economy under the guise of enviornmanetal protection... all while tugging at the at the heart of the unsuspecting masses.... 

 

I feel like we are in a Star Wars Epic... and the Dark Side is in control..... for now.  Not for long... thanks TEA PARTY and leaders like Billie, Lynn, Carol, Glenn, and others.

Sounds like more enviornmentalism to undermine America..... sustainable development, EPA, wetlands etc working in concert with the likes of AGENDA 21.  Thanks Billie
