“You understand General offically I am not here at all.”
“I quite understand” Burkhalter eyed the Gestapo Oberst. He had seen many over the years and had yet to meet one he liked.
“For the highest state reasons, what happens, must happen without any notice from you. It simply remains to pick a Stalag whose Komandant is completely expendable in case of failure.”
“I have just the camp and man you need.” said Burkhalter suddenly taking a liking to the Oberst, who unbeknownst to him, knew his next stop was Stalag 13 & Col Wilhelm Klink.
There are many sins that people have to deal with either out of habit or depression or simply due to temptation by the other side which are constant pressures that a Christian faces. While those temptations are part and parcel of life, and the reason why the Church offers the Sacrament of Confession to get you back on track, I have never been seriously tempted to reject a doctrine of the Church or the word of Christ.
I must however give the Devil his due that this move is the best one I’ve ever seen in the attempt to make me have second thoughts about the non-optional doctrine of loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you.
Can you imagine a fireman not saving a kid because they don’t like how the parents voted? Can you imagine an auto mechanic not properly fixing a brake line because the customer voted the wrong way? Could you imagine if the US Army coming across a concentration camp only feeding those with the right political views?
This woman and those who worked above her and below her can.
Christianity explicably rejects this but the left’s utilitarian Marxism embraces it. None of them should be trusted with any position of responsibility that affects the lives of others ever again.
That being said my rosaries today will be offered for her and her like and I suggest you do the same.
President Elect Donald Trump has come out of the gate with a bunch of nominations for various positions in the government.
A few have not been all that surprising but the three above have given the left the vapors.
And while all kinds of people are suggesting that these folks (particularly Gaetz) are not good picks and even some republicans in the Senate are (not on the record of course) suggesting they would not be approved let me point out one key thing.
The left/media are going absolutely apoplectic over them.
So if you are having doubts about Trumps picks (particularly the pick for AG) let me remind you of the wise words of the man who four years ago returned the talent he had on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh: The left will always tell you who they fear!
And so does the deep state.
We get one shot to dismantle this stuff. In two years there will be another presidential campaign and Donald Trump will not be running. Cripes he’s old enough that he might not even last the four years until that comes. (yes I know he’s in excellent shape but I’ve outlived a bunch of my peers who were in far better shape than me) This being the case I suggest not quibbling over choices that he apparently has given a lot of thought to since he was ready to roll with them in less than a week and put all our energies into supporting those choices and letting them run wild.
Fear makes your enemies sloppy, fear makes your enemies careless. Fear makes your enemies try to make deals in your favor.
