Alice in Never, Never Land!



Enter Sandman-Metallica (1991)
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in
Warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war
Dreams of lies
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Grippin' your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

(Whisper)
Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)
And if I die before I wake (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to take (x2)

Hush little baby don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

We're off to never never-land

Take my hand
We're off to never never-land
Take my hand
We're off to never never-land

We're off to never never-land
 

“There is no use trying; one can't believe impossible things." (Alice)
"I dare say you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” - (Queen)

Let's see if I understand this correctly. The entire nation has been watching the proceedings going on at Penn State University concerning children who were sexually molested by a former football coach. There is indignant outrage from all sectors of society over who knew what and who did not do enough to stop or report the assault. As a result of this crime, people are demanding someone's head on a platter over the sexual assault of innocent children and the failure to report the child sexual abuse to local or state authorities. Understandable!

But let's see if I understand another similar but even more horrible situation correctly. On or near the Penn State University campus are three Planned Parenthood abortion clinics. Abortions are performed there regularly where many young children in their mothers wombs are MURDERED, BUTCHERED, RIPPED ASUNDER, BURNED, and then DISPOSED OF in an inhuman manner...but NOBODY is outraged or willing to do or say anything? OK, I don't get it! Exit light, enter night! Take my hand, we're off to Never, Never Land!


Why does one incident provoke so much anger and outrage while the other incident is neglected and paid no attention? Which incident is more horrible and continues unimpeded? How do we make sense of these two horrible incidents and the two different responses from the public and media? WE CAN'T! Both of these crimes should provoke immediate outrage, anger, and police action, but only one does. WHY? The moral compass of this country has been so skewed that up is down, left is right, wrong is right, and masculine is feminine! Just like Alice in Wonderland, everything is not as it seems or should be, and common sense or logic no longer apply. As in Alice in Wonderland, Queen Political Correctness is the ruler of the day, and whatever the queen says is wrong is wrong and whatever the queen says is right is right. Don't try to use logic, reason, or just old-fashion common sense - the queen has spoken, and there is no need to THINK! Exit light, enter night! Take my hand, we're off to Never, Never Land!

Incidents of this type of child abuse have been going on at these locations for quite some time, but NOBODY is doing anything about it! If children being sexually abused by an adult demands some type of legal action being taken, shouldn't the killing and dismemberment of a young child in the mother's womb demand legal action of the highest priority and urgency? While children being sexually abused by an adult predator is reprehensible and worthy of our disdain, how much more public outrage and legal action should be demanded concerning those who are killing children in these clinics on a daily basis? Exit light, enter night! Take my hand, we're off to Never, Never Land!

 

While I'm thinking about this, doesn't the university itself deserve some moral condemnation in regard to the sexual assaults of these young children? A university that promotes "diversity," "tolerance," "ethical relativism", "non-discrimination," and  "acceptance and promotion of alternative life styles" seems to be the ideal incubator for fostering and nurturing these types of bizarre sexual incidents and lifestyles when NO LIMITATIONS are ever ethically set or justified! It is ironic that a university that openly supports homosexuality and a woman's right to terminate the life within her womb becomes morally upset when a homosexual acts out his sexual preference regardless of his partner's (victim's) age! So what that the child did not give consent, who inserted that condition as a MORAL requirement anyway? Nobody ever asks the children in an abortion clinic if they have a problem with someone aborting them! "Just Do It!" as the old Nike commercial proclaims. Exit light, enter night! Take my hand, we're off to Never, Never Land!

The Bible tells us in Isaiah 5:20:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
and Matthew 7:24-27 states:
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
How did our nation get to this sorry condition when we can discern the wrongness of one type of action but cannot discern the wrongness of an even more evil type of action? The Bible tells us that when we forsake God's Holy Word as the guide for our lives, we begin to walk in darkness and confusion with the ultimate end being destruction - destruction of our lives, our families, our communities, our sense of right and wrong - and, ultimately, of our nation. Without a return to God's law as our ultimate authority for right and wrong, exit light, enter night! Take my hand, we're off to Never, Never Land! OK, I get it!
