AMERICANS AT THE BOILING POINT
 |
| Need proof that many Americans are at a boiling point and ready to blow their proverbial tops? That's easy, ask your neighbors. American's experiencing these "pressure points" is not an accident but by design as episode after episode are ongoing to America by political leaders with an agenda to "fundamentally transform the United States of America". |
Have you noticed the amount of pressure being put on just regular ole Americans? We are under attack from many sides, the story below is just one of many angles because the "attack" is on the American way of life, capitalism, our faith and the values that come from it.
Pressure points
Our government lies about the churches view on contraception and ignores the 1st amendment always attacking with the lie, "the separation of church and state" meanwhile trying to pressure churches to give up their 1st amendment right and allow abortions in faith based hospitals and for churches to possibly perform gay marriages (see below)
In education, government schools are destroying the moral character of our youth and when they do educate it is often re-written history. I probably don't have to tell you about what has been happening on so many of our college campuses with (gobs of and by design) far left Professors and administrators!
Our economy, not unlike Europe's really, is falling apart to the brink of collapse, business are continuing to close, (while they MSM and the White House talks about our "recovery) gas prices are at all time highs and climbing. Millions are without jobs rivaling the Great Depression and too many people are with little hope. Those who do work are scared of losing their jobs because of the unstable and bleak economic forecasts. The National debt is so high it's simply unsustainable. Most of what we see "only" shows about 16 Trillion in debt when in reality it is closer to $100 Trillion. Government, often in bed with Big Business, is regulating us to death, telling us what to eat, what to wear, what to farm. If they want your land, they take it. Voter fraud is an issue and many don't know if who they vote for counts, or for that matter if who we have a choice to vote for is real or fraudulent...since you have to have millions to have any chance to win in higher office races. Entertainment has become so immoral and full of propaganda whether it is TV, movies, music it is hard to even avoid!! Then there is divided America....we aren't just American's anymore, we are black-Americans. Italian-Americans. Mexican-Americans. Conservative or Liberal Americans. Gay or straight, black or white, rich or poor. The media has pushed this divide and conquer mindset on America for at least 40 years that I remember. Whatever someones political philosophy, most people agree that our politicians are now part of a CULTURE of corruption and it is so vile and the worst are entrenched so deeply with cronyism and special interests that they can't be voted out!
From the outside looking in, we are an insane nation that spends money we don't have(or now we simply print it) though our economy is on its death bed. We leave our borders open despite being in two wars with sworn enemies around the globe that want to kill us and have already attacked several times in fact besides on 911. This isn't just nuts, it is suicidal.
It's bad enough we have a groups of people protesting they don't have "enough" in many of our major cities and are pretty ticked at the people who create jobs. Yes, the pressure-cooker is real and it is perpetrated on America by design and deceit by those that want to fundamentally transform the U.S.

We really are a nation "UNDER SIEGE".
Work. School. Church. Entertainment. Government. Economics. Wars. Healthcare. You name the institution and it is under attack by traitors, infiltrators, global elite and environmental Nazi's. The attack upon WE THE PEOPLE is there at every turn.
Hasn't always been this way folks.
Hasn't always been this way folks.
If we don't cry out in humble repentance for help from the Creator, please tell me, where will our help come from?
Proposed Law Would Force Churches to Host Gay Weddings
Religious liberty groups are blasting a proposed ordinance that would force churches in Hutchinson, Kan. to rent their facilities for gay weddings and gay parties.
The Hutchinson City Council will consider adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the protected classes in the city’s human relations code. They are expected to vote on the changes next month.
According to the Hutchinson Human Relations Commission, churches that rent out their buildings to the general public would not be allowed to discriminate “against a gay couple who want to rent the building for a party.”
Meryl Dye, a spokesperson for the Human Relations Commission confirmed to Fox News that churches would be subjected to portions of the proposed law.
“They would not be able to discriminate against gay and lesbian or transgender individuals,” Dye said. “That type of protection parallels to what you find in race discrimination. If a church provides lodging or rents a facility they could not discriminate based on race. It’s along that kind of thinking.”
Matthew Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel Action, told Fox News the proposed law is “un-American.”
“It is a collision course between religious freedom and the LGBT agenda,” Staver said. “This proposed legislation will ultimately override the religious freedom that is protected under the First Amendment.”
He argued that churches cannot be forced by the government to set aside their religious convictions and their mission. And, he warned, some churches could even be forced to rent their buildings for drag parties.
“What we are ultimately going to see is churches forced to confront this law, forced to do things and allow their facilities to be used by people and for events that diametrically undercut the mission of the church,” he said.
Robert Noland, of the Kansas Family Policy Council, said the law would extend well beyond allowing access for gay weddings.
“They (churches) could not deny renting space to a gay couple if they want to have a party,” he told Fox News. “This is just another example of government creating a law imposing upon the freedom of religion and basically telling churches what they can and can’t do.”
So what could happen to churches in Hutchinson that refuse to accommodate gay parties or weddings?
“Unless the city council includes an exemption for churches, it would generate a discrimination complaint for the gay couple and it would be investigated,” Dye told Fox News. She said any churches found guilty of violating the law could be subjected to fines or other penalties.
Gary Ridge, an associate pastor of Westside Baptist Church, told Fox News their congregation would not comply with the proposed law should it pass. He said their church would refuse to host either gay weddings or parties – even if it meant a possible investigation or fines.
“We apply the Bible to our lives,” he said. “When there is a contradiction between what the city council asks and what the Bible says, we are going to follow the Bible.”
“This is an opportunity for the LGBT community to cram their belief system down on our community,” Ridge said. “It may look like a small step, but it’s not the end. Before you know it they will be able to shut down churches for preaching Romans 1:26-27. We’ll be sued for refusing to have homosexual weddings.”
Ridge said Hutchinson is a conservative city, a part of the Bible Belt – and he blamed the controversy on outsiders.
“This is part of a bigger desire to have their lifestyle condoned and accepted,” he said. “We don’t condone their activity.”
The Hutchinson measure would also have a major impact on private businesses and landlords. Restaurants, bars and retail shops would be required to provide special bathrooms for individuals who may have male body parts but identify as a female.
According to a FAQ sheet provided by the city, employers would also be forced to allow workers to dress based on their gender identity. Read the entire FAQ sheet by clicking here.
“Dress codes would not be precluded as long as an employer allows an employee to appear, groom and dress consistent with the employee’s gender identity and gender expression,” the FAQ stated.
As far as bathrooms, the city FAQ stated, “A transgender person must be allowed to use restrooms appropriate to their gender identity rather than their assigned gender at birth without being harassed or questioned.”
The city’s revised ordinance would also require transgender individuals to use the locker room and shower facilities of their choosing.
Another issue for Hutchinson’s Christian community involves workplace discrimination. The policy dictates that business owners or landlords are not allowed to discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
That’s a problem for Michael Brockman, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church.
“I know a couple who owned a bed and breakfast in Kansas City,” he said. “They decided to shut down because they could see that they were going to be forced to make decisions that might have legal effects upon them. They might be sued if they didn’t rent their facility out to a gay couple who might want to use it.”
Staver said it’s unfair that Christian business owners might have to make decisions about their future.
“You shouldn’t have to choose between participating in the marketplace, running a business or operating a church on the one hand and accepting the LGBT agenda on the other,” Staver said. “This is a battle that is coming. This is a culture divide I think we will see play out across the country.”
