A Real Man

What is a man? I have always been taught that a real man will readily lay down his life for a woman or child. Yet our new President-elect believes that it is a "fundamental right" to cause an "unwanted" down syndrome infant to die a miserable and lonely death inside a linen closet.

So tell me, what exactly is the job of the President? Is it to pay my mortgage? Is it to make sure my health benefit package matches that of my neighbor's? Is it to bail me out of financial crisis? Is it to raise my children?

It is the President's job to protect the citizens. If he refuses to protect an innocent handicapped child...then who will he protect?

I am disgusted and ashamed of the "men" who let our country get to this point. We, America, have elected a guy who would take money from one and give it to another, allow the murder of children, and call a baby a "punishment" for a "mistake made". I'm utterly shocked that a generation of "men" would stand in a crowd with a million others chanting for the Great Obama to give them a hand out. It is clear in Scripture that a man who does not work shall not eat, and that a man who does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel (i.e. unbeliever).

1 Tim 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

2 Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

I do thank God for the true real men in the world. Those men who love God, work hard, provide for their families, raise their children, and fight for our freedom. Those who would give up their own comfort, and even their own lives, for a woman or child if it came down to it. Those who stand for the lives of the most innocent. These men are few and far between, and I am thankful for them. I am honored and blessed to know many of these wonderful men. America needs more real men.

I'm praying that God will raise up a generation of young men who know that to eat, you work. To be free and safe, you fight. And a man lays down his life to protect a child. I know this is possible, and I plan to help- starting with my own brother. As much as we need men, we need women who will stop trying to be men, and instead start to raise them.

Let's start now, and pray that in 2012 and the other elections to come there will be real men to vote for. God, preserve for us another generation- a generation of real women and real men.
