The government Californians have chosen

foolishness

People make decisions every minute, either conscious or subconscious. But our decisions are ours, and ours alone.

As Jesus Christ said in Mark 7:21-23, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride [or arrogance], foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

Note that in this long list of sins, Jesus includes foolishness. Identifying foolishness as a sin may be a new concept for many. What is foolishness? I define it as doing something wrong when I should have known better or didn’t care to remember what was right. Being foolish is not as bad as being wicked, which is to know something is wrong and harmful and still do it anyway. But foolishness is still bad and still harmful and, to Jesus, still a sin. Here are other definitions of foolishness.

When it comes to voting, none of us should want to be foolish about God’s non-negotiable values, should we? Especially on these vital issues:

Innocent human beings. From conception, people are created in God’s image. This is why abortion, murder, manslaughter, suicide, and euthanasia are wrong. But this year, the Democrat legislators are pushing for nurses to torturously murder innocent preborn babies. Source

Sexual purity. God made sexual intimacy and sexual pleasure for marriage, to help a husband and wife bond and produce children. This is why all sexual pleasure outside of marriage – including homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality – is eventually harmful to perpetrators, children, and society. But the Democrat lawmakers are pushing yet another sexual indoctrination bill – this time to promote cross-dressing and sex-changes by eliminating gender distinctions in government school restrooms, showers, and sports teams. Source

Family protection. God has commanded fathers to protect their families from harm. This means, if required, lethal defense against a home invader. Criminals have guns and bullets. Do you also want to have both a gun and ammunition to defend yourself and your family, if needed? The Democrat politicians want to make it harder for fathers and mothers to buy ammunition and also want to eliminate your opportunity to have as many bullets in your gun as criminals can have in their guns. A raft of anti-gun – instead of anti-crime — bills attack the Second Amendment rights of responsible, safe individuals concerned about home defense and protecting their family. Source

The bad news is with a two-thirds supermajority of Democrats in both the California State Senate and the California State Assembly, these harmful bills are virtually guaranteed to pass. Of course, in a system of representative government, bad bills are the result of voters’ foolishness.

At this unprecedented time in history, lobbying the California Legislature won’t stop bad bills that the majority party, the Democrats, want to pass. Instead of fighting these short-term battles that we cannot win, moral citizens should focus on the root problem — foolish voters in a foolish society.

Each one of us should take every opportunity we can to educate others about logical cause-and-effect problems and solutions; family values for a child’s best interest; God’s values in the Bible; or whatever Truth standard hearers will accept. We must bring forth both logical and factual evidence, using resources like these:

Wallbuilders: Democrats & Republicans in their own words

For the record, Democrats have been in control of the California State Legislature for more than 50 years, with only three of those years when Republicans were in charge of the Assembly, the lower house. How do you like the laws of California? If you’re not sure, ask a general contractor, a small business owner, or a parent who’s left the government schools behind.

Democrats’ bills harm children and families

What do you get with the Democrats in firm control of both houses of the California Legislature? Take a look at some of their new bills harming children and families:

Pushing sexual perversity 

AB 1266: Forces California K-12 government schools to allow biological boys in girls’ restrooms, showers, and on girls’ sports teams; and permits biological girls in boys’ restrooms, showers, and on boys’ sports teams. All under the guise of “gender identity” (transsexuality, transvestitism, cross-dressing, etc.). Authored by homosexual activist Tom Ammiano, a Democrat assemblymember from San Francisco. 

SB 323: Demands that the Boy Scouts accept homosexual-bisexual-transsexual leaders and members or lose their state tax-exempt status. Designed to decrease donations to the Boy Scouts over the national Scouts policy requiring leaders and members to be “morally straight.”  Authored by another homosexual activist, Democrat Senator Ricardo Lara of Long Beach. 

SB 145: This bill is poorly-written at best and deceptive at worst. While claiming to toughen child pornography prosecutions, SB 145 is written to potentially decrease penalties to a mere fine and parole for possessing or selling up to 600 sexual images of children through age 17. Authored by Democrat Senator Fran Pavley of Agoura Hills and co-authored by liberal Republican Jeff Gorrell of Camarillo.

Killing babies, damaging women

AB 154: Kills preborn babies by permitting nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants to torturously vacuum apart babies in the womb (this is what a suction abortion does). A similar bill died in committee last year but is more likely to pass this year. Authored by former abortion clinic manager and open homosexual Assemblymember Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat.

AB 926: Threatens young women’s health by paying them to be injected with hormones and drugs for the purpose of giving up their reproductive eggs. This dangerous procedure can leave young women sterile and physically harmed, without informed consent. Authored by Susan Bonilla, a Democrat assemblymember from Solano and Contra Costa counties. See the March 10 Sacramento Bee article on AB 926

Action: Tell others what’s happening. Share via Facebook, Twitter, and more; comment on news websites; announce to your church.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

If it’s wrong to kill innocent human beings…

Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 5:48 pm | Randy Thomasson

Babies in the womb would win the war against unjust and horrific abortion deaths if only the media would hold pro-abortion politicians accountable to define what abortion gets rid of.

In this Jan. 22 article in the Ventura County Star, pro-abortion Democrat California state legislators, who want more abortions, and I, who want an end to abortion, were quoted.

But the Democrats never say what their “abortion/privacy/choice/women’s reproductive rights” agenda is actually doing.

They never say WHAT they aborting — when they’re aborting a mother’s pregnancy with a human child by tortuously and barbarically killing the boy or girl in her womb.

In contrast, in my statement to the media on the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I said these preborn babies are innocent human beings, and that their human DNA proves it. Here’s the little bit of powerful truth that made it into the article:

…the head of an organization called SaveCalifornia.com issued a statement condemning abortion as murder.

“If you believe it’s morally wrong to kill innocent human beings,” said organization president Randy Thomasson, “then you must regard abortion as evil because every abortion barbarically slaughters an innocent human being.”

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psalm 139:13-15 NKJV
