Being Upside Down in America
In the meanwhile, the bodies of the dead are stacking up like cord wood on both sides of the ocean. But there is no outcry in the main stream media or in the corridors of public opinion against the war or against the genocidal deaths here on America’s shores. There is no horror at the dead among us. And only in the families and friends of those slain, is there sorrow or shame. Instead, America revels in the sin of genocide, claiming it as a right when discussing abortion, and turning a deaf ear to the victims of genocide in most other cases.
We rescue animals before people, placing a far greater value on dogs than our children, brothers and sisters. Michael Vick went to jail for dog fighting. Just yesterday he was released after serving most if not all of the time of his sentence. Yet, PETA continues in their war against him, demanding he never be allowed to work again. There is no outcry for Michael. There is no marching, there are no demonstrations, or voices of support arguing that he has paid the debt for the crime committed and should be allowed to get on with his life. And just as there is no outcry for Michael, there is no horror at the dead among us. There is no sorrow or shame. We revel in the sin of genocide. Our children are assigned no value and the great nation called America, openly celebrates the targeting of some of her children for extermination as is the case of the over 1400 black babies killed daily in America’s abortuaries.
We cloak in shrouds of acceptability, the death mandate of those supporting America’s eugenics agenda called population control, unable or unwilling to shine the light of truth on practices that take the lives of babies in the womb and our youth in the streets. We cloud the issue of murder with rhetoric designed to deflect our attention away from the devaluation of black life in particular and life in general toward a woman’s or some other obscure right.
I wonder if we can come out of this dark place America is hooked on. From slavery, to Jim Crow, to abortion and violence in the streets, America is on a genocidal path of destruction. We are upside down, calling evil good and good evil. I wonder if we have the courage to come to a place of turning so that we can get it right ending years of tyranny against the masses.

The Silence of the People is Destroying Our Lambs
I have a new friend who frequently pokes fun at me because I told him the story of how I used to fight every day as a child. While I am a far cry from being a child today, I find there are times when I just have to fight, even if it is not a physical fight like those I had when I was young. There are some issues that make you angry enough that you just have to pick a fight.
Because I never fought to lose, one of the strategies I used as a child was to hit my opponent first. Doing so gave me greater leverage to win, because I usually hit where I knew it would hurt most, so I could through a second punch before they recovered. So here goes, I am throwing a punch today, straight at the heart of the black community.
When Jesse Jackson and other leaders of the Civil Rights era shifted their position on abortion the line between feminism and civil rights was so blurred, the door opened for redefining civil rights to include abortion and other social policies such as homosexuality. One of the particularly insidious results of both Jim Crow America and the shift toward abortion as a civil right was the mindset adopted by many in the civil rights movement that blacks are victims. This victim mentality has created in some, a psyche that embraces all verbiage and practices that encroach on civil rights, whether they are so or not. As a result, where blacks would have arisen as one voice against those who would prostitute the black experience, we are now mostly silent.
Before and after Roe v. Wade was passed, it would have been unheard of for a woman to kill her baby by abortion. Most black women, because of the history of slavery and the selling of our children “down river” considered abortion a part of the dogma of the feminist agenda that most of us summarily rejected. But when the civil rights line blurred, and the targeting of the black community by organizations like Planned Parenthood took root, what was shocking then is now status quo.
Back in the day it would have been unheard of for any black to accept homosexuality as a civil right yet today that too is becoming the status quo. The protest against the passage of California’s Proposition 8 is a clear example of the homosexual prostitution of the civil rights movement. Big, burly white men snatched a cross from the hands of a little old white lady and screamed in her face that they were fighting for their rights just as blacks fought for theirs. Once again we have another group hijacking the black experience. (Prop 8 Rally turns violent – kpsplocal2.com)
Yet today we are alarmingly silent as they claim they are fighting for their rights just as blacks did in the fifties and sixties. They had no problem however, calling us niggers when they protested in California. Prop 8 protest. They had no problem adopting one of our young black boys, sexually abusing him, and then pimping him to other pedophiles. Duke Rape Case. But the silence goes on.
Where are the protests against Planned Parenthood’s Negro Project that is still being implemented today by executing young black babies in the womb? Where is the outrage against a late term abortionist likening the shooting of Dr. Tiller, another late term abortionist to one of our great heroes, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? What a despicable slap in the face to the black community. Where are the protests for the young five year old brother who will now have to fight for his life against the memory of his vile treatment at the hands of homosexual pedophiles? Who will fight for him?
Have we become so victim minded that we will continue in this spiral of death against our babies and young men? I can only pray that each of you reading this will join me in throwing the second punch. Call out these acts for what they are. Get on TV, Radio, Facebook and Twitter. Sound the alarm. Let us go get our babies. Let us go rescue our men!!!!

What If
This past weekend I experienced two life changing events that cause me to wonder what if. . .
Tavis Smiley, during his Atlanta Accountability Tour, took time to eulogize his Executive Producer, Cheryl Flowers, who at 42, lost her fight with a most extreme form of breast cancer. As he recounted the impact she’d had on his life, I leaned toward a new friend and wondered if Tavis knew of the link between breast cancer and abortion. My friend, literally paled, if black men can pale, then asked me to explain what I meant. I offered him the cliff notes explanation documented in twenty-seven of forty studies that there is a 50% breast cancer risk increase by age 45 for women who have had an induced abortion. He did not know that among women with a family history of breast cancer (mother, grandmother, sister, or aunt), the increase in risk was 80%. If the woman had her abortion before she was 18, the increase in risk was more than 100% (doubled)! 1
At the conclusion of my whispered explanation, my new friend explained that he had lost a child through abortion and the mom died from breast cancer, at an age younger than 45. I am ashamed and saddened to say that while I mumbled “I’m sorry”, I quickly changed the subject from this personal confession toward a more general conversation. I now wonder what if I had not done that to ease my discomfort, but had stopped to mourn his loss with him. What if instead of pushing those emotions back, I had allowed the tears that were threatening to actually flow. What if I had allowed him to work through whatever emotions he was feeling in my presence, rather than diverting the conversation leaving him to mourn at some later time when I would not see his pain? What if . . . ?
The very next day, I went to Selma, Alabama with another friend, Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and daughter of Rev. A. D. King, to walk across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge. This time we walked for the sake of the unborn. As I made the first step onto the bridge, I literally felt the presence of those who had come before me. I could almost see that historic day in March of 1965 as I was overcome with the presence of those who had marched for equal rights over forty years ago. I heard them in my heart, urging me to not give up the fight for life. I could almost hear them saying “March on, fight on! Your work is not in vain”. I tangibly felt a mantle fall to my shoulders as we slowly walked and it was not until I was midway across the bridge that I was able to gather myself. Never before had I such an experience, a calling, if you will. That feeling that gripped me on the bridge is with me even now.
This morning I woke up wondering what if . . . What if we employ the arsenal of nonviolent weapons left us by those who fathered America’s Civil Rights Movement. What if we accepted the mantle to fight on left by those who marched on the Pettus Bridge? What if we declare a moratorium on abortion and hold sit ins at one or more of the clinics on a Saturday, the abortionists’ busiest day or a Thursday the busiest day for late term abortions? What if we were to boycott those big businesses that fund outfits like Planned Parenthood the organization that target blacks for extermination in their abortion mills? What if we organized today’s version of freedom riders to ride from Maine to California, for the lives of the unborn and for those women harmed by abortion? What if we gathered on the Washington Mall in 2010 to memorialize the fifty million lives taken at the hands of abortion providers? What if . . .?
What I know is that we can no longer do what I did, and change the topic. We must meet the challenge head on. We must march on and fight on because our work is not in vain.

A Call To Arms
I Corinthians 10:4-5 (NLT)
This time last week I was still processing through the election and what it meant for America. The immediate positive that I saw was that the race issue in America was dealt a deathblow. God in His sovereignty used the election of a black man to the highest office of the land, to remove the stigma of Jim Crow as a national policy. Jim Crow has been relegated, permanently, to the corridors of history. Hurray!
But this awesome move of God does not mean that the vestiges of racism and bigoted mindsets are completely blown away. There are some who would have us operate as if this were still 1950’s America where decisions were made based on ethnicity. We are still fighting a bigoted mindset from the likes of groups like Planned Parenthood, an organization that has the purpose of eliminating the black race from the earth while masking their diabolical agenda under the umbrella of women’s rights.
While they proclaim themselves advocates of tolerance, their tolerance extends only to us tolerating them. If we reject their call to join them in their bedrooms by providing them rights on the basis of what they are doing in that bedroom, we are cast as bigoted and intolerant. In a news story out of Palm Springs about California's Proposition 8 (Prop 8 Rally turns violent – kpsplocal2.com), we saw large homosexual men surround an older woman, snatch a cross from her hands, stomp it and then scream at her while blocking the camera's view of her and the reporter. One of those large men had the audacity to scream that blacks fought for their rights and he was fighting for his.
The comparison of his bedroom behavior to the equal rights fight blacks had is an outrage. Millions of lives, both black and white, were destroyed in and on the way to this country as blacks were treated as cattle. I for one choose to fight against the claim of some homosexuals that their experience is in any way related to the fight of blacks before, during and after the heinous practices of slavery and Jim Crow in America. I choose to stand for the standard that the Cross of Jesus Christ (that some choose to trample) represents.
For too long those who hate life, such as Planned Parenthood, and those who hate Truth, such as the homosexual activist, have laid claim to ground that is not theirs to take. It is time that Christians across this nation lay down the idols of political party, and pick up the banners of righteousness while taking back our land. It is time we stop fighting each other on the basis of whose political ideology is best, and begin to fight the common enemy that is seeking to destroy America from within. Too many of us want to compromise the standards of righteousness in favor of political expediency. Too many of us pick up the weapons of the enemy rather than using those provided by Almighty God.
The false arguments of those who hate life and Truth must be destroyed. Not by us yelling and screaming at them and them yelling and screaming at us, but by picking up and using God’s mighty weapons to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning. Let us unite in our actions, our conversation and our deeds by proclaiming Truth and protecting life. Let us lay aside political expediency and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.

America’s Leadership – Does Their Position on the Issues Matter?
Someone recently asked me “does a person's belief in abortion or not, have an impact on whether that person should be a public office holder?” My answer is an emphatic yes! Each elected official develops a sphere of influence as they work to persuade voters to support their platform. Most spend months, if not years, building a base of supporters who place their confidence in the belief the elected official will vote according to the promises made and platform outlined during the campaign. These voters have the expectation that when legislation is proposed or appointments are to be made, those they elect will vote according to the values and ideologies they promoted.
Abortion is one of the deeply emotional issues of our day that quickly divides groups of people, just as slavery did in the 1800s. Some say it is a decision that should be left to a woman, her God and her doctor. Others, such as me, rely on the Bible’s view of those that shed innocent blood and we demand it must stop. And then there are a host of arguments in between. There are some who support the Darwinist/Eugenics notion that only the favored races should be allowed to live, hence Margaret Sanger’s (founder of Planned Parenthood) Negro Project to control the birth rate of blacks. There are others who express concern about who will take care of all the unwanted children if abortion is stopped. And then there are those who support abortion as a means to fix the anomalies that occur in pregnancies (i.e. mental or physically impairment of babies). Whatever road you take on the issue, I submit there are real consequences to the devaluing of life.
One of those consequences is the cavalier killing of others throughout our society. An extreme example of the death angel visitations is the number of shootings that occur in school environments. Parents often think that when they send their children to school, they are in a safe environment and they need not worry as they release their children into the hands of educators. Not so. Even before the April 20, 1999 Columbine massacre, we saw a bevy of shootings across the country. In 1996 a 14 year old killed a teacher and two students in his algebra class in Moses Lake Washington. In February 1997 a sixteen year old shot and killed his principal and another student in Bethel, Alaska. Pearl, Mississippi mourns the two students that were killed by a 16 year old who also killed his mother. Another 14 year old in West Paducah, KY killed three students as they prayed! Residents of Stamps, Arkansas lost two of their students when they were shot in the school parking lot, Jonesboro, Arkansas had four students and one teacher killed at a middle school by a 13 and 11 year old. Fayetteville, Tenn. mourned one student that was shot and killed. In Springfield, Oregon two students were killed by a 15 year old. In Richmond, VA a teacher and guidance counselor were shot and wounded by a 15 year old. These were all before Columbine! Since then we have experienced another 33 school shootings around the United States, the lion share of which were committed by other teens typically between the ages of 13 and 19.
On average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day, with pregnant and recently pregnant women being more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause. I found an article that gives a summary of over thirty cases where the pro-abortion husband or boyfriend killed or severely beat their partner in an effort to get rid of their child after she chose to carry the child to term rather than abort it as the man desired. In many of the cases the man then dumped the body as if it were trash or attempted to burn it to cover up his crime. http://www.gracecentered.com/abortion_does_it_really_matter.htm.
Across the nation blacks disproportionately avail themselves of the services of the abortionist. While only 13% of the population, over 35% of the abortions are performed on black women. In Georgia where I now reside, that number is even more startling, because over 58% of the abortions performed in the state are performed on black women. Is it any wonder then that the black on black crime rate follows this pattern? In 2005, homicide victimization rates for blacks were 6 times higher than the rates for whites. Offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites. Between 1976 and 2005, 52.5% of those committing homicides were black and of those homicides, 94% of blacks killed were killed by other blacks.
This cavalier regard for life has permeated every fabric of our society and now spills over into other areas as we see more and more values related issues disintegrating. Just last week we learned that at least one in four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease. In the black community that number is at 48%! What stunned me about this study was not the numbers actually. What stunned me was the response of those advocating for sex education that the reason for this increase in sexually transmitted disease is due to abstinence only programs. Is it me or is this faulty logic? If the youth are encouraged to abstain but choose not too, and the disease is sexually transmitted, . . . No the issue is that Planned Parenthood and other associated organizations have duped many, including pastors and other Church leaders, into believing that self-control is impossible among our youth so we should promote their agenda of so-called “safe” sex.
Does it matter whether our candidates support abortion? Again, I say yes. Each legislator has an ability to create a legal and moral environment during their tenure in office. This is especially true of those seeking the presidency. It does matter that Barack Obama chooses to create an environment of unrestrained sex by advocating for sex education for five year olds. It does matter that he actively promotes sexual activity among teens “ in a honest and reasonable way” as he stated in a 2007 Planned Parenthood meeting. It does matter that he wants to use the bully pulpit of the presidency to promote this sexual agenda among our youth. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3386492.
It matters that Hilary Clinton wants to appoint “judges to our courts who understand that Roe v. Wade isn’t just binding legal precedent, it is the touchstone of our reproductive freedom, the embodiment of our most fundamental rights, and no one - no judge, no governor, no Senator, no President - has the right to take it away.” It matters that she “will sign into law the Freedom of Choice Act, which would codify Roe v. Wade and send a renewed signal to the courts that the will of Congress and the President is to keep abortion legal”.
It matters that our legislators promote and encourage a culture of death as they support the pro-abortion initiatives of today.

Barack – Uh Uh!
When I heard that Barack Obama had pointed to the Sermon on the Mount as justification for support of civil unions, I thought he must have been confused since I could not recall anything in the Sermon on the Mount that related to a person’s sexual behavior. Though I am no more a Theologian than Barack Obama is, I am pretty astute when it comes to understanding what I am reading, so I thought I would pull out my Bible and read the sermon again. After doing so, I went to the Internet to see if I could get the actual verbiage he used thinking that perhaps he had been misquoted. I found it and I realized that he had not been misquoted and had gone even further in his commentary by including his beliefs on abortion as well. (http://www.cnsnews.com/cns/audio/2008/030308Obama1.wav) (http://www.cnsnews.com/cns/audio/2008/030308Obama2.wav).
After giving it some thought, I reached the same conclusion that some others had; perhaps Senator Obama was making reference to Matthew 7:1-6, the passages that address judging others. Hmmm. That particular passage has been used by some, on many occasions, to obliterate all the other passages of Scripture that reference behavior, whether sexual or otherwise. Even lay persons who are not trained in hermeneutics know to look for more than one passage of Scripture to bring clarity to a matter. There are at least two or three scriptures about same sex behavior that takes the Romans 1 passage out of the realm of obscurity Senator Obama is seeking to relegate it to. So why reference it? Would Senator Obama really want us to believe he is guided by Judeo-Christian values and not the principles of the some other religion, even the one whose call to prayer he describes as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”?
http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Barack+Obama+Call+to+prayer&st=nyt&oref=slogin
There is one thing none of us can judge – whether or not Barack Obama, at some point in his life, confessed with his mouth the Lord Jesus and believed in his heart that God raised him from the dead. Since the confession is one that is heart driven, only God and Senator Obama can testify to whether it was made or the sincerity of the confession. What we can do, however, is measure whether he has produced good fruit as a result of his confession, for God said you will know the false prophet by his fruit (Mathew 7:16) .
From where I am sitting that fruit is pretty rotten right about now and every American, and every follower of Jesus Christ should be on the alert, heeding the warning that is sounding.
Regardless of which side of the aisle your politics fall on, every one of us should be able to make a ‘righteous judgment” (John 7:24) about the questions that are before us. First, does it matter that a candidate for President of the United States cites only those sections of the Bible that fit his political leanings? Does it matter that a candidate considers the baby in the womb to be nothing more than a decision between a woman, her physicians and her God? I say yes it does.
Somewhere in recent history we saw a turn in our social mores and some would now require Americans to look into the bedrooms of some of its citizens. How else can we tell the sexual orientation of an individual? And, if you don’t care to partake in that particular adventure, you are labeled homophobic or some other epithet and are shouted down. Legislators , many of whom want you to acknowledge their sexual orientation, sponsor legislation designed to force all of America to accept the sexual proclivities of a few. I say yes, it does matter what a candidate’s position is on the issues.
For the past 35 years America has been asked to ignore the medical facts that acknowledge that the baby in the womb is a person. Despite the giant leaps that have been made in the medical profession, we have been indoctrinated to believe that the 4 dimensional child on the film, is a blob of tissue, an anomaly or a fetus. Never mind that the physician that aborts even the youngest baby must count its body parts before it can be determined a successful abortion. Never mind that bags and bags of human body parts have been found in garbage bags outside of abortion sites. Forget that one of the most heinous medical procedures of our time required the baby to be partially delivered before it was stabbed in the head, then pulled from the birth canal. According to some, these facts mean nothing in the face of a “woman’s right to choose”. Again, I say yes it does matter what a candidate considers good policy, especially in this area where innocent blood is shed with impunity. Where does it stop?
It stops when you and I come to our senses and begin to look at the candidates not just through the lenses of their political spin or partisan rhetoric. We must begin to examine the candidates and their issues through lenses that scrutinize the content of their character and clarifies their stance based on a Biblical world view. We can no longer continue to sit back and accept the doctrines that the pro-abortion and homosexual lobbies throw at us. We must no longer accept that our belief that the entire Bible is true is somehow intolerant, homophobic or denies a woman’s choice. We all get to choose the lifestyle, the behaviors, the positions we take. Let us exercise our right to choose to stand on what God says is right, for ourselves, our children, our nation and our government.

Margaret Sanger, Glenn Richardson, Autumn Kersey , Georgia and Idaho – What Do They Have in Common?
If anyone thinks this type of racism/eugenics exists only in Idaho and the six additional clinics that were called, think again.
I had heard, back in November of 2007, that Glenn Richardson, Georgia’s Speaker of the House had made comments that had similar racial/eugenics overtones. Since the Bible is clear that everything should be established with two or three witnesses and having experienced some of that racial sentiment from him in my 2006 race for the 4th Congressional District, I began to ask questions. As I asked those questions, I found that there were others that had confirmed hearing the statements. One legislator that I spoke with just before the 2008 session began on January 14th, told me he had confirmed with a House Leader that was present at the time, that the comments had been made.
I attended a meeting on February 5, 2008 with Dr. Alveda King (niece of Martin Luther King, Jr.) and four other witnesses. We heard two more representatives confirm the comments were made to them. What were the comments you ask? Well, we were told that when the GA Legislature introduced the Women’s Right to Know bill in 2006, the Speaker said that passing that piece of legislation would result in GA being “overrun with black babies”. Another Legislator stated he had approached the Speaker at the end of the 2007 session to explain a vote he was making that would impact funding to organizations like Planned Parenthood. In that conversation the Speaker indicated that if the funds for birth control were halted it would “result in the birth of more black babies” and “more black babies would be born and on the dole”.
Well to say the least, Alveda and I were shocked so when I was called by the Speaker’s Chief of Staff to set up a meeting, the answer was an emphatic yes! February 12, 2008 turned out to be a sad day for us individually and Georgia collectively. The Speaker while stating he did not say the words quoted above stated he may “have said something like that”. And no matter how many times Alveda and I asked him what the “something like that” was, or even to explain how race came up in the discussion at all, he refused to answer, redirecting the conversation to the statistically accurate facts concerning black high school dropouts (over 50%) in Georgia or the abortion rate of black women in Georgia (58%). He consistently attacked one of the Legislators to whom the statement had been made indicating they were at war with one another and stating he could not understand why that legislator waited two years to say anything. At no time did the Speaker clarify his position on black births in Georgia or his feelings about blacks in general. Instead, he went to the Black Caucus the next morning and characterized me as a bitter black female because he did not support my Congressional race in 2006 (at that time he told me he could not support me because he did not want the “black voters in DeKalb County” to turn out).
Glenn Richardson had the opportunity to create a culture that valued all Georgians regardless of their race or status. He could have created a culture that promoted life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for us all. Instead, he adopted the spirit of his predecessor, Tom Murphy, by continuing to promote a racist/eugenics environment. Tom Murphy and many other legislators initially spit tobacco on the Martin Luther King Holiday bill. Glenn Richardson and those like him may as well be spitting on the babies that are aborted in Georgia.
On which side of the race issue does your legislator fall? Is he or she willing to allow black babies to continue to be killed so we will not be “overrun” with them? One of the ways we can find out is if there is a vote on pro-life measures like the Human Life Amendment that defines when personhood begins. Call your legislator today and ask him or her to get the Judiciary Sub-Committee to take the HLA off the table so you can can see where they stand on the issue. Is your legislator willing to give you a voice in this process? Does he/she trust you to vote your conscience with regard to when life begins?Ask them to help you override the voices of those like Margaret Sanger, Glenn Richardson, Autumn Kersey and Planned Parenthood. Let’s join together to silence these voices that filter life and the birth of black babies through racist/eugenics lenses. Call your legislator today.
