Ironically when the party of tolerance and acceptance took over under Obama is when I stoped being "political." The country didn't just divide that's been happening for years. I was call racist because I didn't vote for Obama, I was anti-woman when I didn't vote for Kamala. Before you assume I voted for Trump, I didn't vote for him anytime he ran. The country has been divided since 2009, it's not new. I was told after years of hearing "not my president" with President GW Bush the I wasn't allowed to say that about Obama, that I was supposed to just be quiet and deal with it. I said it many times I respect the office of President, it doesn't mean I have to agree with or like the person in that office. I didn't vote for President Obama because I cannot morally support someone who thinks abortion is a right. That's the reason not his sex, not his skin color, he holds a belief that I find morally reprehensible so he didn't get my vote. It's the same reason I didn't vote for Hilary or Biden. Why I didn't vote for President Trump was I just didn't like the way he ran his businesses. I didn't like either candidate so I went third party and was told that my vote is what got Trump elected because it took a vote from Hilary. I wasn't voting for her anyway so my vote was actually taken from Trump. When Obama was elected I didn't need a safe space or a place to cry I just went about my business because that's what a grown-up does.
Since 2009 because I am Catholic and truly believe and uphold the Church's teachings it is assumed that I am a bigot and hate everyone. I am told that I can't talk about Jesus, I mean it is literally my job to talk about Him. I believe that marriage is a sacrament, and between a man and a woman. Does that mean that I am opposed to "civil unions" or gay couples having rights and power of attorney for one another, no it doesn't. I have been told that because I believe that abortion is the taking of an innocent life that I am anti-women. Wasn't aware one could be anti-themselves. I believe that women in a situation where they are pregnant and don't know what to do need to be helped. I support Pregnancy centers that actually help people. I am against Planned Parenthood because it doesn't help people, its business is abortion, not helping people. Helping people isn't saying oh we'll pay for your flight and your hotel for your abortion; it's saying oh you have a child, that's wonderful, here's our business' childcare place so if you want to work you can, oh you need time off because your child is sick, go ahead. It's far more expensive to support a mother than to cover travel expenses for an abortion. When I point out that Planned Parenthood was created and started as a racist organization I am told I am lying. I mean really how else are you supposed to take this quote "She wrote: “The minister's work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” Spin it however you want, she was part of a movement that wanted to stop blacks from having children; sounds pretty racist to me. Oh but wait I'm the racist because I am a white woman.
So yes, I stopped posting "political" stuff because the tolerant and accepting party is anything but. Leave it all to the current issue of gender. There are two sexes; male and female. I'm going go quote Genesis because we all know it, "God said let us make man in our image and likeness... male and female He created them. If you think God made a mistake in making you, I will do everything in my power to remind you that you are made in His image and likeness and that He doesn't make mistakes. God did not need to create anything least of all humans. He created us for His Glory and so that we can be with Him. I don't hate anyone, I will be the first one to say God loves us all, the Churches doors are open to everyone, here's what we really teach.
What was the point of that long introduction, it's to show why I stopped talking it's because no one listened, it's been "you must believe this or you are a bigot" for far too long. Charlie Kirk said some outrageous things, but he did not deserve to be assassinated for speaking his mind or having an opinion. When I first saw the he was shot I remember thinking "I always thought that would happen, and then I prayed, I started Eternal Rest, and then thought wait I don't know if he's dead, so I opted for a Hail Mary." Fitting as one of the last videos Kirk had posted was defending Mary and most Protestants don't do that, they make fun of Catholics for how we venerate her. What I have seen over the past few days is people waking up and saying "this man was killed for an opinion, that's not supposed to happen in the US." I see people claiming to be caring about Kirk's family yet they are making comments about how his wife was lying to her child in saying "daddy's on a work trip with Jesus." For the past 7 years I have been in early childhood education and I thought what a sweet way to answer "where's daddy?" Did I agree with some of the ways and things that Erika Kirk said no, but I mean she is grieving her husband, and what she said really has no bearing on my life, other than we will not be quiet.
Call it a battle cry or whatever you want but those of us who have been quiet have seen that it doesn't matter if you speak out or if you are quiet. I have watched people who claim I wasn't like the others at college and that I was opened minded unfriend me because I dared to say that a Christian woman telling her child that daddy is with Jesus is appropriate. Maybe my saying I could have been Kirk is what set them off, or maybe the tolerant and acceptance only goes one way for them. When Roe v Wade was overturned the same person said "let's make donations in pro-lifers names." I said after all these years you would do something like to me out of spite even though there was a time when you agreed with me. That didn't send them over the edge, but my defense of Kirk did.
Here's why I followed Kirk on social media, one of his videos came up as they do, and I thought wow how did this guy stay so clam when someone was screaming at him. Kirk allowed anyone to come up and tell their story, if they questioned him on transgenderism, he listened, heard their story and then responded, just because his response was not what you wanted to hear doesn't mean he didn't have the right to say it.
I uphold and teach all that the Catholic Church teaches, I could easily have been in Kirk's position, it easily could have been me. That is what set people off. You can claim to be tolerant, but you cannot with the same breath celebrate the death of a human being just because you disagreed with him. People will say "the left didn't kill Charlie Kirk, well the right didn't either." The young man who shot and killed Kirk heard something somewhere. I mean you can only hear so many comments about how Trump and people like him should be dead before someone acts on it. I'm tired of being quiet, I'm tired of being called a bigot, hater, anti-women, and racist because I am Catholic and conservative. We are tired of having to believe and be a certain way in order to be so called tolerated and accepted.
Evil is real, Lucifer aka Satan exists and he hates humanity the most because we are the closest thing to God. We are closer to God than he ever will be, we are the creation that was made in God's image and likeness, not the angels, us, lowly humans.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, oh Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast (thrust) into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
God Help Us.
Our Lady Queen of Peace, ora pro nobis.
