In
this final chapter of the “Faith Not Fear” series, I address some of the statements
made to the misled minions and offer my commentary (in red). Before doing so, however, I want to comment on
the presence of some law enforcement officials as well as politicians – who
enthusiastically applauded what was said:
San Diego County head
sheriff Bill Gore and San Diego police chief Shelley Zimmerman attended this
summit. Gore was dressed in civilian clothes and was not introduced to
the attendees, but Zimmerman appeared in full uniform and was applauded by the
audience. Now, what does that tell ordinary San Diego citizens about what
their officers are sworn to protect? Did Gore’s and Zimmerman’s presence
imply that breaking the law is okay under certain circumstances? Did
their appearances at this event subtly proclaim that if you are an illegal
immigrant, don’t worry about it—or, if you have a criminal history of murder,
rape, drug dealing, or terrorism, you’re protected?
The following local
Democrats were publicly named and lauded
by the crowd.
*State Senator Toni Atkins,
open lesbian and former director of the now-defunct
San Diego-based WomanCare abortuary
*State Senator Ben Hueso
*Assembly Member Shirley
Weber
*Assembly Member Lorena
Gonzalez
*“Catholic” Congressman
Juan Vargas
These Demoncratic politicians
not only support lawlessness, but also advocate abortion and “gay rights” while
chumming it up with Bishop McElroy and San Diego diocesan priests, including
St. Thomas More Oceanside’s pastor. No local pro-life, pro-traditional-marriage Republican politicians were similarly recognized and applauded.
Here are some of
the statements made from the podium:
The first three comments
are from Lisa Morales, an attendee sharing her testimony:
“The (US) economy will get
bad if they take immigrants out.”
This is absolutely laughable. For one thing,
they are not immigrants; they are ILLEGAL immigrants. If our country didn’t spend what it does on
illegal immigrants, our economy would be
the best it has ever been.
“ This economy serves the
interest of the rich.”
No, the economy
serves the interest of CITIZENS. It’s
not here to serve the interest of those fraudulently receiving benefits meant
for citizens.
“We are here to disrupt
justice.” – Mary Burkeshire, attendee.
Now that makes
sense …. doesn’t it? Can’t figure that one out at all. It only makes sense if you are a Democrat
intent on disrupting our current administration at all costs, no matter what
harm such disruption inflicts on society and the common good.
“The Bible says to "welcome the stranger."
– Bishop Braiser
Yes, and it also
says to protect your families. Oh yeah, what about Thou shalt not steal? Thou shalt not lie? Thou shalt not kill? See Ten Commandments.
Martha Flores (Our Lady of
the Sacred Heart) discussed the need to support SB 54. (CA
bill that would restrict local law enforcement from cooperating with federal
immigration authorities). And with that, dangerous criminals will fall through the cracks and be roaming our communities. "SB 10" (waiver to allow individuals who are not eligible to obtain health coverage through the Health Care Exchange because of their immigration status. Illegal immigrants already get free healthcare at the expense of taxpayers. Do you think they will pay a small premium if they are already getting free health care? For crying out loud.
Another attendee giving testimony, Katia Ortiz, talked about how her parents taught her honesty and respect. She said they came undocumented; they could not vote, could not get a license and taught her hard work. She added they never hurt anybody and worked 50-60 hours a week.
Honesty and respect? Entering the country illegally and lying about their immigration status is not only dishonest but also disrespectful of the laws of the United States. They could not vote or get a license? Too bad. If they had immigrated legally that would not have been a problem. Never hurt anybody? How about the taxpayers who pay high taxes because illegal immigrants fraudulently receive social services and free healthcare? Worked 50-60 hours a week? Yes, under the table and not paying taxes (unless they are using false identification - but that's illegal too). And working under the table or with false identification hurts others because it denies citizens that job and takes away the ability to support their families.
"All immigrants should be welcomed because in the past immigrants were welcomed." Bishop Dwayne Royster, Political Director of the PICO National Network and the Senior Pastor/Founder Emeritus of the Living Water United Church.
Immigrants are welcome. They come here legally. They come with their sleeves rolled up, ready to work, not with their hand out expecting taxpayers to support them.
"1 in 3 African men will spend time in the state
penitentiary.” - Bishop Terrell Fletcher, City of Hope International Church
Well, if they do
the crime it’s appropriate. It has
nothing to do with race; it has to do
with actions. Maybe if all these liberal
groups go into the inner cities and help build them up rather than promote
riots, etc., the demographics would change.
Last but not least – from
Bishop McElroy: “We are all children of
one God.”
Did he convert
the Imam? I don’t think so. Muslims do not worship the same God as
Christians do, and they are taught to
hate (and kill) non-believers. Also, if
we are all children of one God then aren’t we all supposed to follow His
words (don’t steal or lie)?
This
whole event was a far-left farce.
Instead of using the common sense God gave them, church leaders and some
misled citizens are doing just what the leftist, socialist, communist
organizations want: No accountability,
no law enforcement, no faith (especially
Catholic) and no morals. A social
free-for-all.
