Clarksville Losers "Voted Their Conscience"

That's just the problem. Their anal law enforcement code "right thing" zoning mentality has replaced charity with "conscience." Every one of those losers ought to resign or be shunned by people who still have charity in their hearts. My God, what has this country come to.

Clarksville Tennessee A Town Without Pity

It isn't very pretty.

CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee — A barber with strong ties to the military community pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head at a City Council meeting after his request for a rezoning measure was rejected.
Ronald "Bo" Ward sought the rezoning to increase the property value of his home, allowing him to secure a loan to offset debt he incurred when he expanded his barber shop.
After the 5-7 vote Thursday night, Ward stood and walked toward the council.
"Ya'll have put me under. ... I'm out of here," he said before killing himself with a small handgun.

Ward was well known for supporting soldiers from the nearby Fort Campbell Army post and was once recognized by its former commander, Gen. David Petraeus. His barber shop was often visited by media reporting on the local economic impact of thousands of soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division being deployed to Iraq.
"He treated soldiers like his own children," said George Heath, a longtime patron of Bo's Barber Shop and the Fort Campbell public affairs officer.
"If a soldier came in and said he needed a haircut but didn't have any money, Bo would cut his hair and tell him to pay him when he could."
In 2004, former Fort Campbell base commander Gen. David Petraeus, said Ward a postcard during the division's first deployment to Iraq, thanking him for keeping his shop open during the deployment and "giving haircuts to children of our families."
The current commander of the 101st, Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Schloesser, said Ward was well known by soldiers from generals to privates.
"When a soldier got their hair cut by Bo, you got more than just a haircut — you got a story, a pat on the back, and words of encouragement from a patriotic citizen who genuinely cared about soldiers," he said.

Two quick points about the Eucharist

The transmutation does not take place if the priest is not in full orthodoxy of sanctity in the Catholic Church. So "women priests" and other outsiders can do it all they want; they might as well be eating and serving a Ritz cracker with cracker barrel cheese.

Those who are not suitable to receive and who do so anyway are basically putting themselves at risk. It is like if the ancient Israelites sneaked into the temple and ate the offerings to God. I'd not recommend that. So people like Archbishop Burke are trying to protect politicians and others who are too stupid to realize what they are doing when they insist on the Holy Eucharist even if they are unjustified, due to leading a segment of the Catholic population away from their faith by flouting disagreement with God's law.

Forgiveness of egregious sin not mandatory

There is a common misunderstanding about the forgiveness of sins. People who smoke dope while quoting Jesus are particularly prone to this misunderstanding, but others have drifted into unorthodox understanding of the forgiveness of sins.

If the person you have wronged dies, or has something irretrievably harmful done to them, you may very well be screwed no matter how "sorry" you say you are, if you waited so long that you either missed the chance or the person has suffered in a way that cannot be re-mediated. In the first case the person has died and so cannot forgive you, and in the second case, they are not obligated to forgive you. You cannot quote the "Our Father" to them and force them to forgive you; God will not stand for that. The Our Father refers to a pattern of a forgiving mind set; it is not a mechanism to force a good Christian who has been grievously wronged to forgive you. There is much in what Jesus said and also in the older scriptures about the need for prompt and thorough remediation of the wrong performed by your sin, and it is only after penance and remediation that forgiveness might take place, both by the person wronged and by God. If you have waited so long that the person has suffered grievously, or God forbid, has died before you repent, there is no Christian obligation to forgive and you may well not be forgiven. If the person who refuses to forgive has led an otherwise forgiving life, then God will not judge them as unforgiving and instead, God will render justice on the wronged person's behalf.

I often imagine...

How far along people would be with fighting disease and illness, especially in children, if all the money that people spent on addictive drug abuse over the past thirty years, say, had gone to medical research instead. Instead of having that dope you would throw the money that would have gone to that into a medical charity? I often think of this and have a pretty good idea what a totally different nation this would have been.
