Cindy McCain: Drugs, Lies, and Cover ups

I saw this picture on the internet after reading about Cindy McCain's Addiction Cover up, I couldn't resist. More on the story later

Rape is okay?

According to the compassionate
Phyllis Schlafly at a Bates College Address,

At one point, Schlafly also contended that married women cannot be sexually assaulted by their husbands.

"By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape,"

Wow.

Well thanks Phyllis for your opinion. I'm glad that the courts make determinations on solid research from evidence rather than rhetoric. Great to know that as a woman, it appears you don't think much of yourself.

I've never heard of this woman before today. Is she for real?

And I am perplexed as to why she has such strong views against her own gender. Usually women such as myself or men who have been abused, have strong views on the topic because of our experience with Hell itself.

So I'm wondering, what happened in her life to help form her views.
Is it a stunt?

She's a walking contradiction. Phyllis cancels herself out.

For example,

While Schlafly said she has no problem with women raising a family and pursuing a professional career, she said they can't be done at the same time.

This particular address was given in 2007.

Yet, How is it Phyllis that you endorse Sarah Palain, who 3 days after giving birth went back to work, and is now running for the Vice Presidency.

"But this time we struck it rich," Schlafly said of picking Palin. "This time people are clamoring to get to our (Coalition for Life) party" because Palin is scheduled to speak. ( Beacon staff reporter)

Huh?

She voids her own convictions. Sarah is doing both right now (raising a family and career)

Which is it?

Phyllis's own mother supported her family during the depression when Phyllis's dad lost his job.

Is this some type of pain lashing out from that?

She was raised in St. Louis by a working mother who kept her family afloat after her husband lost his job in the Great Depression. She was encouraged to excel academically by both her parents, who, Critchlow writes, believed "their daughters should not be any less ambitious or educated than boys."

Where is Dr. Justin Frank when you need him?

Here's another quote from the Sun Journal Report of the Bates College Address:

" Schlafly asserted women should not be permitted to do jobs traditionally held by men, such as firefighter, soldier or construction worker, because of their "inherent physical inferiority."

I just realized something from her quotes which is rather sad.

When she talks about women, speaks as though she isn't a woman herself.

If I didn't know she was a woman, I could cover up her name and put a man's name in it's place and I wouldn't have to change anything about the quote.

She refers to women (while she is one herself) as "the woman", "their inherent inferiority."

Phyllis, I'm sorry for whatever happened to you that caused a career of mocking yourself. Bashing your gender, is bashing yourself.

There is no escaping that one.

I'll be praying for her.

America, will we heed the red flags?

The Proposal
Barack Obama and John McCain have both proposed to America.

One on bended knee. The other holding a big diamond ring in one hand while the other hand is held behind his back hiding his crossed fingers.


Meeting the Family
Some months back we were introduced to the extended family that would become our family if we accepted the proposal: The vice president nominees.


Joe Biden and Sarah Palin

America's Answer: November 4th 2008
America, we are entering a union that effects us for the next 4 years. If honor our own lives and the lives of the next generation, we will pay attention to the red flags flying before our faces instead of being dazzled by the big diamond ring.


Hidden Agenda: Red Flags
If you asked men and women who've escaped abusive relationships/ marriages what they would tell someone before getting married, you'll hear two common responses.

1. They saw red flags but ignored them because "nobody's perfect"
2. Pay attention to the extended family and their relationship with each other

In honor of domestic violence month, Part 1 of this series will deal with the red flags of abusers and why we ignore them.

Christians and BDSM says (website that deals with abusive behavior):

Unfortunately, abusers can also be very intelligent and charming and can often weave elaborate lies. Think of the serial killers we hear about on the news.

Dangerous leaders are charming and intelligent in order to lure you into their trap.


Where manipulation began
This pattern started In the garden of Eden when the serpent entered the garden and manipulated the vulnerabilities of Eve. By carefully asking questions and observing, he devised his method of attack.

Through his questions he found out two things:
Eve added to God's commandment
Adam's silence. He didn't correct the serpent or Eve.

Satan then proceeded to attack God (I believe he figured if they won't stand up for the truth they'll believe what I tell them about God)

So what method did he choose- an attack on God's character.

They believed Satan.

And you know the rest of the story.

Adam and Eve didn't know that Satan took residence within the serpent to disguise an agenda that served his own interests. One lie to cover his agenda, led to death and he didn't care.

Little White Lies
Lying is the manipulator's weapon of silent attack.

They hope you excuse the behavior because "Hey who doesn't twist the truth every now and then."

Here's the question:

Do they feel guilt about telling the lie?
Are they addressing how it affected the relationship?


The manipulator's conscience is quieted then destroyed by what they want to gain from you.
Since we want to believe the manipulator, we then silence our own conscience, and put our
lives in jeopardy.

This causes assault of the worse kind: Self-Betrayal. All for the sakes of wanting to believe something that we know deep down in our souls doesn't feel right.

Big Danger of Little Lies
Going back to the candidates that asked America's hand in marriage.

If John McCain lies about blowing off the David Letterman's show, what else will he lie about to get his way.


This really bothers me. Because its the small compromises in truth that destroy us in the end.

Practical Example:
While getting ready for a date, your significant other cancels at the last minute. It seems strange that your significant other suddenly has the urge to paint their home office. And today was the only day it could be done. Never mind the fact that this dinner was scheduled 1 month ago. Nevertheless, you accept their explanation.

Feeling uneasy about what happened, you decide to appear at your significant others house for a discussion. As you make a turn on their street, you see another car pull up at the house. This person is carrying dinner and kisses your significant other in the doorway as you look on.

Not only were you lied to, but your significant other is having dinner with someone else.

Your Decision
Do we excuse the deception and go on like nothing happened? Or do you realize that if your significant other is doing this before marriage, its a sign to get out before you accept the proposal?

America, we're faced with this decision.

We haven't accepted the proposal of marriage so we can honor ourselves by
rejecting lies which sends a message that we will not be disrespected and that
you have another suitor that honors you by telling the truth when it would be
easier to lie.

Be heard for change. Heed the red flags and make a stand!

O.J. Simpson: Justice God's Way

Right in time for Domestic Violence Month:
O.J. Simpson Guilty
Here's the irony: This verdict is 13 years to the exact date of him being found
not guilty for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson. Just like on October 3, 1995 this jury took 13 hours as well.

October 3, 2008
Simpson Reaction:Guilty

God likes the number 3.

Domestic Violence is deadly. Executives, Sport Stars, Actors are not exempt from afflicting and exerting power over others. They just are able to get away with it more often.


Not Guilty- Simpson Reaction
October 3, 1995


Stay tuned for the rest of the month. I will break down the components of domestic violence for those who are suffering in silence right now. I am free because someone spoke up and believed me. God can rescue you. You are not alone!


You Deserve Freedom

No one deserves treatment that devalues you. When someone devalues you to a lesser person than they are, the next step is to see you as an animal, one to be taught a lesson. Trained and Maimed to bark and sit on command or you won't get a treat.

The next step is seeing you as less than an animal, an inanimate object. Hey, If I use this paper towel all I have to do is throw it away when it get dirty. This is the last stage before death.


Message for loved ones and those who are suffering in silence

Those of you suffering in silence or know someone who is: You were made for more than being someone object of fury. You think it your fault. Its not. If you have a loved one suffering in silence, don't lose hope the best thing you can do is let them know you love them and give not judgment. He or she has been judged enough and now they condemn themselves before the abuse even has a chance.

God can free you and life can get better. Its possible. I'm a living testimony that God through Christ Jesus made a way through the Rea Sea of impossibility and brought the waters crashing down on the accuser, making a stand for His daughter.

God loves you more! These words said by a counselor were hid in my heart and strengthened me until God made a way.

A Prayer

Thank you Lord for Justice your way in your time. Only you know what the intents and thoughts of our hearts are at any time. Even though 13 years ago the Goldman family mourned for an injustice, were mocked by the accuser, you triumph in the end. God give strength to those who need your power to escape. Give wisdom to family and friends to love without judgment and show your might on this earth, so all will know that God reigns. In the precious blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

Mary Winkler : God restores Custody and Hope For the Abused

“Nobody would believe me," remarked Mary Winkler "And they’d take the girls away and put me away.”

Mary, God believes you.

God also forgives you and loves you.

Thank you for continuing your fight to get your family back together so that God can
restore and heal your lives.

Know that communities of abused women around the world stand with you.

Enjoy the Grace that God gives through his Son Jesus Christ and accept his Love.

Mary, you are a courageous woman of God. Through all of the negative poison highlighted by the media about who you are, God gets the final answer and that's all that matters.

God grace is larger than your painful past and big enough to carry you through
the future.

There is hope for you!

Blessings to you!


The above quote was taken from the following article :Mary Winkler says husband tried to suffocate their infant daughter

Satan Made Me Do It: Dad Microwaves 2 month old Baby

"Left alone with his 2-month-old daughter in a Galveston hotel, he is accused of punching her and then placing her in the hotel room safe. Authorities alleged he took her out of the safe and put her into a refrigerator before stuffing the infant in a microwave oven and turning it on for between 10 and 20 seconds."

Investigators say what they saw in Galveston is unbelievable.

“I've been doing this for a lot of years and it actually brought tears to my eyes. The baby is burnt all on the left side here. It is just really bad. Her hand is so swollen. If you ever touch something, you know, you get that ball in your hand. It is like holding a ball in her little hand. It was just heartbreaking and I am sitting here looking at the pictures and looking at him and there is nothing I can really do about it, but just keep my composure."



Watch the video and look at this precious little girl.

Imagine someone doing this to you.

Helpless and unable to help yourself.

The saddest part of this video is hearing the Mom defend her husband
that did this horrible crime. Blaming "Satan" totally takes the blame from
Joshua Mauldin.

This is the reality of Domestic Violence and Battered Woman Syndrome. It's
a vicious cycle and it's very sad. When it's not confronted, innocent victims
are wounded.

Until we can confront the truth about our condition through self examination we
will continue to delude ourselves. Delusion becomes reality.

I am praying for this little girl. Who didn't ask to come into this world in the first place.

Melinda Murphy, grandmother of the baby girl agrees and says is making no apologies for her son-in-law or daughter.

"If she loved her enough, she wouldn't have let this happen,” she says. "I don't know why my daughter and son-in law did this. I don't understand. If they didn't want the baby, they should have gave her to somebody who would. I would."

I pray for the parents that God's truth be made evident to their hearts and that
God's will be done.
