Are we really a Christian nation?

My name is not Belle Hurley. That is a pen-name that I use for the internet for personal reasons, mostly to due with the fact that I post a lot of stuff about islam and that, itself, can be a dangerous thing to do anymore.

First of all, let me be perfectly clear. I am a Christian. And, I know for a fact that my God reigns. Nothing has taken Him by surprise.

Second, I am bound to offend some or all of you at some point. That is just the way it is. The truth does that to some....
I deal with a lot of ugly truths day in and day out. One of those ugly truths is that Mr. Obama was not entirely wrong when he said that we (the USA) was no longer a Christian nation. How can we be a Christian nation?
We as a nation have sanctioned the death of upwards of 60 million babies.
Sixty. Million.
To put that is some perspective.....
-that is 10x the amount of Jews that Hitler killed.
-that is 60x the amount of American warriors that have been killed in action since 1773.

So-called Christian Conservatives have told me publically that if those 60 million babies had been born then that would just be that many more mouths to feed and therefor justifying abortion. Never mind that those were 60 million lives that God ordained to live.  We, as a nation, ordained them to be murdered.

How can we be Christian when we have homosexuality in the Church?
We are Christians, followers of Christ, The Son of God, A Third of The Holy Trinity, The Alpha and The Omega, The Living Word.....Homosexuality is FORBIDDEN by God.
What is even worse is that we have homosexuality at the pulpit.

How can we be a Christian nation when we won't even acknowledge our brothers and sisters all over the world that face daily persecution, tribulation and death for their faith in Christ Jesus? We have more American people siding with muslims and islam than those who stand up for the victims!
We can't even stay up to pray. How many of you felt indignant towards the disciples when they fell asleep?
....I use to...

We have Christians being persecuted here in the US and we don't say a word.....

I don't have the answers. My point with writing this is to make you think about the fact that we are not really a Christian nation anymore and that we can not just expect God's Mercy when the the time comes for Him to weigh in on what we have done......

Grateful Muslim immigrants thank England for all they get

This is happening all over the world where muslims are allowed to immigrate........great, let's just invite all of their aunties and uncles, shall we?

Allen west victory speech

Here is my pick for President of the United States!

We need this man as our LEADER. We NEED him in a way that we have not needed a leader since the days of George Washington leading our people to freedom, since the days of Thomas Jefferson putting pen to paper and our founding Fathers deciding to potentially sacrifice their lives and liberties for future generations. We need Allen West in the Oval Office not just in Congress.....

Trial of Geert Wilders, Wafa Sultan read by Judge 1 of 2

From the pen of Wafa Sultan, a former muslim. She defends Geert Wilders in his stance against islam and confirms that he is, indeed, telling the truth that so many people refuse to hear but so very much need to.....

These people are HEROES.

These are the people who really care about the people of the Western World (you and me) and have their actions and words stand on trial. They faces the odds of being murdered by muslims or being imprisoned everyday for speaking the TRUTH and, yet, they do it everyday.

I ask you, What is wrong with the majority of Americans that we do not stand up for ourselves and our children like these brave people do. We are a nation that was founded on Strength, Truth and Justice! We must return to that or we condemn our children.

US walks out on The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

The US finally took a stand at the UN Assembly today....

"The General Assembly, an annual gathering of world leaders, started formally on Thursday with more than 30 presidents, kings and other heads of state scheduled to speak. Mr. Ahmadinejad’s comments, made just a few dozen blocks from the World Trade Center site, prompting a walkout by representatives of the United States, 27 European nations, the European Union, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Costa Rica."

U.S. Walks Out as Iran Leader Speaks

No one is above the law...

 No one, NO ONE, is above the law. I have to live within the law or I get punished. That's what it means to live in a Republic. We live by a rule of law that is applied to all equally....or, at least, that is what our founding fathers laid out for us.

This is a shame. It is a travesty...if I had done this I would be buried under the jail by now.

Ex-trooper convicted in double fatal crash wants money for his injuries

Accident resulted in death of two sisters

BY BETH HUNDSDORFER - News-Democrat

Former Illinois State trooper Matt Mitchell is asking the state to compensate him for injuries from a crash in which he hit and killed two Collinsville sisters at triple-digit speeds.

Mitchell filed a worker's compensation case on Sept. 13 against the Illinois State Police. The case is pending.

"I wouldn't have filed the case if I thought it was frivolous or didn't have merit," said Kerri O'Sullivan, of the St. Louis firm of Brown and Crouppen, who represents Mitchell. "People get hurt at work all the time. It's our job as lawyers to help people with the difficult and complicated administrative process of worker's compensation."

Three worker's compensation lawyers say they believe Mitchell could receive compensation for the injuries he received in a Nov. 23, 2007, high-speed crash that resulted in the deaths of sisters Kelli and Jessica Uhl and injured Kelly and Christine Marler, of Fayetteville.

Thomas Q. Keefe, a Belleville lawyer who represented the Uhl girls' parents, Kimberly Schlau and Brian Uhl, in a civil lawsuit against the State Police, called Mitchell's claim "outrageous, but predictable."

 "This man has no shame. He has no shame when he recanted his plea of guilty. He has no shame when he insisted on the stand that he was not responsible for this crash," Keefe said.            

  "And he has no shame when he files for worker's compensation benefits."

Mitchell was driving 126 mph in busy day-after-Thanksgiving traffic on Interstate 64 near O'Fallon while sending and receiving e-mails and talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone moments before the crash. Mitchell was responding to an accident near Lebanon, but help already was at the scene of the accident where Mitchell was responding, authorities said.

Mitchell crossed over the median and hit the girls' car head-on. He sustained severe leg injuries.

After the accident, Mitchell was suspended with pay for nearly two years, drawing his $68,000 annual salary. He resigned from the Illinois State Police after pleading guilty to the criminal charges.

Mitchell pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and reckless driving in exchange for a sentence of 30 months probation.

Although Mitchell pleaded guilty to causing the accident, he can still receive a worker's compensation award, three lawyers agreed, saying that the only defense the state may have is whether or not Mitchell was doing his job as a state trooper when the accident occurred.

  "If the accident occurred in the furtherance of the function of your employer, even if it was done in a negligent manner, it can be compensible under the Worker's Compensation Act," said Rod Thompson, a Belleville worker's compensation attorney.

  "If an accident arises out of the course and scope of a person's employment, the employee is entitled to worker's compensation, despite their poor judgment," said Bruce R. Cook, a Belleville lawyer who handles worker's compensation cases.

Ian Elfenbaum, a Chicago lawyer, said an employee can be under the influence of drugs or alcohol when an injury occurs and still collect worker's comp benefits.

  "You can be reckless and even negligent while working in the course and scope of your employment," said Elfenbaum. "Negligence or recklessness on the part of the employee is not a defense for the employer."

During the hearing on the civil suit filed by the Uhls' parents in the Illinois Court of Claims, the Illinois attorney general, who represented the state police in the suit, signed a stipulation agreeing that, despite his plea to the criminal charges, Mitchell was acting in his capacity as a state trooper when the accident occurred.

  "That admission seals the deal," Thompson said. "That's all you need to get a compensible injury."

During the April Court of Claims hearing, Mitchell denied that he was responsible for the crash, despite pleading guilty three days earlier to reckless homicide and reckless driving charges.

Illinois worker's compensation was designed to allow injured workers easier access to health benefits and awards, Cook said, adding that "this claim is an insult to taxpayers and those two girls' families."

Under the Illinois Worker's Compensation Act, each injured body part is assigned a number of weeks of pay, and a hearing officer determines the percent of each injured body part.

  For example, a hearing officer could determine that a person suffered a 50-percent loss of a leg. If the employee's gross salary was $60,000, he would receive 107.50 weeks at 60 percent of their weekly salary, or $74,423. But it could be an even greater award if the hearing officer finds Mitchell sustained a permanent total disability or finds the state must pay the difference between the amount that he earns now and the amount he earned as a state trooper.

That could be hundreds of thousands of dollars, Keefe said, that will be paid by the taxpayers. The benefits are non-taxable.

  "But he still has to get out of bed every day and know that he caused the death of those two girls, and know that he didn't take responsibility for that," Keefe said. "He still has to look himself in the mirror and think about the fact his actions forever took two girls away from their parents, then he filed for worker's compensation benefits."
