America Weeping for Her Children

When Herod learned of the birth of Jesus, the king of the Jews, he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under. “Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more” (Matt 2:17-18 NIV). America too weeps for her children…because of abortion they are no more.

Gail;

-----But then, isn’t America Herod? America is killing the children, right?
-----What is America? A particular continent at the intersection of the Northern and Western hemispheres? Actually, that’s just a place. Granted, it is America’s place for now. But America isn’t just a place, or Iran could just as well be America because it’s just a place, too. Nor is America a particular group of people. Thankfully, liberals everywhere are demonstrating this truth. After overwhelming the group with Muslims, mullahs would have every American woman burka up, and they would have the head of every infidel. That would not be very American.
-----And those are the only clues we need. For America is a set of ideas about a system of mutually held principles. As such, that makes America a group, not of people, but of definitions. Amongst those American definitions are respect and honor for others in general, in particular, and in the vicinity (like were the children.) The American idea of respect and honor is for all. It is even for the woman aborting her child. For she has a need, too.
-----So does that mean America is murdering the children? If it does, then where is the aborting mother’s respect and honor for her unborn child? Can you respect the one you’ve paid some ghoul to rip its arm off with a hook? Is she honoring that little child she’s having drug from her body in bloody pieces? If “yes”, then please explain…I thought not. America is not murdering her children, anti-America is.
-----We’ve all had a good look at anti-America. We can easily recognize anti-America for its disrespect and dishonor of all American principles. It claims the name “America” without being America. America respects and honors its poor with opportunity and education. Anti-America disrespects and dishonors the poor with enablement, indoctrination, and ennoblement as “warriors” against the “rich“, even though the purveyors of anti-America are rich: Warren Buffet, George Soros, Hillbillary Clinton, Algore, Al Jesse Sharpton-Jackson, etc. No, anti-America slices and dices people into groups and categories set against one another in all disrespect and dishonor. Observe their rallies, more appropriately recognizable as riots, although they are warmly called demonstrations.
-----No. America is not a place. It is not a group of people. It is a set of principles. And those principles respect and honor everyone, even the unborn. America does not murder innocent children in the womb. Anti-America does. They are Herod. Behold! Good analysis finds you right! So, America weeps for her children.
-----Then, it isn’t “Take America back”. It is “Bring America back.” Bring her principles back. Respect and honor them. Stand for them. Argue for them. Everywhere talk warmly of them. If you really want God to honor and bless America, “16Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another; the LORD heeded and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the LORD and thought on his name.” (Malachi 3:16)
