The Chill Of Winter Has Arrived...

...And with it, a certain realization.

The chill you feel in the air is not necessarily a product of northerly winds this Fall. The chill we feel, is the chill put upon the spirits of proud Americans who fear their country is being taken from them by the forces of change. At least half of all Americans are in this, together with another sizable group who simply wanted to be a part of history in the making. It is this latter group that is so fascinating. In particular, Douglas Kmiec, a professor of law at Pepperdine University, seems to be representative of the lot. A practicing Catholic, Kmiec nonetheless became a vocal supporter of Barack Obama, and headed up Obama's Catholic outreach effort to secure the Catholic vote in America. He, as a former member of the Reagan and Bush administrations, had earlier supported Mitt Romney's candidacy, but when John McCain became the party nominee, he felt the need to look elsewhere for someone to support.

So, he found Barack Obama, a man whom he believed not to be religious, but a man with Christian beliefs. With this in mind, Mr. Kmiec certainly was aware of Obama's disregard for human life surviving a botched abortion. Apparently, the various significant points of law in play concerning this was an override to the application of not only common sense decency, but of the moral laws to which we are all subject. In professor Kmiec's case, he has said that he is lost if the decision to bar him from receiving Holy Communion persists.

We are to assume that the professor is, and has been cognizant, of the Catholic Church position regarding abortion. In both legal, and non-legal terms, it is murder. It is not "infanticide", which seems to be a mind cleansing definition in the minds of the elites among us Fortified with years of such religious awareness, and certainly in possession of his cognitive faculties, the professor nonetheless made the conscious, and deliberate decision to support a man with ideas so foreign to almost all practicing Catholics in America.

He claims that in a conference call with the Pope himself, that if the Pope said, "Douglas, you are wrong!", he would tear out the first 174 pages of his Obama support manifesto. Here, Kmiec offers a glimpse into the soul of the Obama supporters who "went along for the ride into history in the making". The "latter group I spoke of earlier, is filled with the Douglas Kmiecs of the world. People of sometimes clear vision, who push that vision aside purposefully, when confronted by a charismatic wolf in sheep's clothing. We should not condemn these people, we should offer prayers for them, that they return safely to the path of moral conviction.

Remember this: Those same forces are still out there, attempting to steal elections in Georgia, and in Minnesota. They will find their Douglas Kmiecs, and they will mesmerize them into signing up for the "cause". America is not lost, but America is in a state of mortal flux. Conservatives will win the day, and they will do it with purposeful dignity.

The children call, I must get to them knowing the charlatans are but mere minutes away...
