The thoughts and ideas expressed below are exclusively those of Jack Straley and www.justplaintalkwithjack.com  We may agree, and that’s fine, or we may disagree, that’s okay too.  My sole purpose is to encourage others to think, study, and become involved. Exercise your freedom and above all, when presented the opportunity, please vote.

Our world is changing every instant, every hour, every day.  Our security and liberty are very tenuous, and could be gone at any time.  We have two basic threats to our way of life and the continued existence of our nation.  One, from my point of view, is the Democrat Party while the other is the invasion of Illegal criminal Immigrants.

I have my thoughts and they may differ from yours, but that’s okay.  In my mind I cannot see how any person can call themselves a Christian while at the same time stating and believing they are Democrats.  The Democrat Party has become the party of evil.  Is the same true of Republicans and their claims of Christianity?  Politics is politics and should stay out of the realms of church.

The Democrats support of and promotion for abortion is enough in itself.  Since records have been kept it is documented that one billion people have died in wars on this planet.  However, since 1972 there have been 1,300,000,000, yes one billion three hundred million babies killed through abortion.  The Democrat Party has labored to create a society where the masses depend on the government and a few power brokers for survival.  The democrats have destroyed the urge to succeed and the pride of having succeeded. 

I could continue the above rhetoric, but I will not.  I will expand on my feelings about the second threat.  First I will say I have compassion for all human beings, as do most people I know, however, I have room for very little compassion for criminals especially repeating criminals.  There are legal means for anyone to attempt entry and eventual citizenship to our country.  These ways may seem cumbersome or lengthy, but they are the way to become legal immigrants.   On the other side we have wandering tribes that seek any way possible to get into our country illegally.  These individuals are not vetted and we know very little about them.  Some of these people are truly seeking a better life but many are simply seeking a way to continue their life of crime.  It starts with the illegal crossing of the border which is a federal crime.

Our government, directed and led by, our duly elected new President have initiated an all-out round up of these criminal immigrants starting with those that have perpetrated heinous crimes since arriving here.  These people are being deported or incarcerated every day.  I understand that this places some families in an uncomfortable situation, but they simply put themselves in that condition.  I have compassion for the families and children affected but this does not change the reality of the situation.  If families have an illegal as a member of the group they don’t have to be separated or broken apart, the whole family can go elsewhere together.  I do not need to be reminded or lectured to from a public forum how some unfortunate little girl may have to live without a father in her house.  Had the father taken the time and care to enter the United States legally, he would not be putting his family in this predicament.  I want the compassionate leaders of the churches to show equal or more concern for the Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts and Uncles that have had their loved ones murdered, raped, abused and otherwise harmed by these same poor individuals they pray for on Sunday morning.

The only solution is round up all of these illegal persons and send them back to their country of origin.  If they still want to join our nation they can then start the process to do so legally.  Many of these individuals are so despicable that their native countries do not want them back, bless their hearts.  Governors or Mayors that do not wholeheartedly support the efforts of the federal agents that are capturing these individuals should be prosecuted and incarcerated along with the illegals they adore.  These are federal laws that govern us all.

These are my feelings and I will not lie about it.  I don’t want to be lectured by anyone echoing the sentiments of a radical Episcopalian Bishop that hates our confederate history, disrespects our sovereignty, and wants to consecrate unworthy activists.  I want to hear a message from the Bible.  Again, these are my thoughts and concerns, no one else’s.  Think about your position on these issues and it’s consequence to our nation and our lives. 

I close with a positive note.  Church attendance is at an all-time high and continues to grow and in the same vein Christianity is surging.  People are returning to God as the word is spread around the world.  Church attendance may not be growing as fast at established denominational churches as at alternative or non-denominational venues.  As long as people receive Bible based teachings I don’t care where they attend.

Pray for and remember all those that have departed at the hands of these criminals and their families.

We cannot have a nation with no borders and cannot continue being a nation with no law and order.  Pray and become involved.  I want to see the day I can tell my children and grandchildren about these unwelcome and undesirable intruders and proudly say, they were HERE TODAY, but they were GONE TOMORROW.  They are the undesirables of 2025.
