Worst Case Scenario

.
I may not be blogging for a few days. Just so you know, I didn't croak (at least I hope I don't).

In the absolute worst-case scenario, tomorrow this country will elect, without a shadow of a doubt, the most pro-abortion, left-leaning president in the history of our country. If it does not happen tomorrow, the next-to-worse-case scenario would be that in a few weeks or months we will learn that he has been elected, after much counting of votes and, even possibly, court hearings.

In either worst case, I am mourning for the souls of the babies who will be killed every year for the next four years, and possibly for decades to come, by "choice."

In the case of either of these worst-case scenarios, Doug and I have made the personal choice to roll up our sidewalks for the next four years. We will not contribute to this economy except for what is absolutely necessary. There have been times in my life when I have been called a grudge holder, and I admit, I can hold a grudge with the best. But this is not grudge holding. This is our sacrifice for the souls of the poor babies, and it will be our chastisement to the country that elects a baby killer to be its leader.

And I hope that many other Americans will do the same thing. This may sound selfish, as people need jobs and if our economy crumbles, people will lose jobs. True.

But, it is very clear, from where I am sitting, that the people of this country hold their dollars to be more valuable than human life. And I do not believe that they will see the truth for what it is until this country's economy goes completely and totally in the toilet. There are those who will never see the truth for what it is, but if this country elects a Democrat, and the economy is the same in four years as it is now, or worse, then maybe some Americans will understand that the Democratic Party is not going to save them. Part of me most sincerely hopes that our economy does take a real nose dive. As Fr. Corapi said, "if you think the economy is bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet." He said what God gives, God will take away.

Maybe we should learn to live with less now.

Catholics (and anyone else) who claim that they are pro-life, yet vote Democrat, must see that the answer is not to vote pro-choice. Until we, as a country, stand up for, and protect at all cost, the lives of our most fragile neighbors, our unborn babies, we do not deserve to have anything -- not things, not entertainment, not comfort.

I am still hoping for the best-case scenario, but preparing my heart for the worst.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.
