To the editor:

I don’t presume to be able to explain the workings of a mind that is deranged, psychotic and demented. Obviously, though, the question here that screams for an answer is: what caused the disturbance and why are innocent lives being taken for no apparent reason? And, of course, how do we put an end to the sickening slaughters?

Altering the Constitution, the Second Amendment, is not a pathway to instituting civility in America or a way to curb the ongoing massacres.

Stricter gun laws would serve absolutely no purpose in the winning of the battle against murder and mayhem and would only succeed in removing guns from good people who are within the law, hunters or those concerned for the safety of their families. Guns will always be available for those determined to do harm and could care less about violating the laws of both man and God.

I believe that the answer to the question “why do they kill” is obvious and is being ignored, deliberately, by immoral, unscrupulous, degenerate politicians who are more interested in political correctness then saving lives and making America better.

We all know that when the core is rotten the fruit will always be spoiled. In America today the core is rotten and it has served to produce a sickening culture of entitlement that promotes homicide as being the answer to any and all disagreements.

With millions of babies in the womb being killed, for body parts sold for profit, is it any wonder that we now have a culture that not only shames America but serves to confuse individuals who are trying to understand the right from the wrong? In this case, rooted in this rotten core is the outrageous statement, promoted by Planned Parenthood, “the right to choose.”

Abortion is murder: There cannot be, in a civilized society, a “right” to kill.

And, no doubt, when a sick mind hears that millions of babies are being murdered under the banner “the right to choose” this sick mind then believes that he too can “choose” and he kills.

When words like God, and the Bible, and Faith are removed from Americans’ tongues in public, under penalty of punishment, more confusion reigns. When the Ten Commandments are torn from buildings and removed from sight, the “core”?rots again and right from wrong is turned upside down. And then we see headlines “Gunman’s deadly spree kills at least 10 and injures 7.”

Not until politicians become moral and responsible individuals rather than immoral untruthful vote chasers will America once again return to being a great nation we can be proud of.

If we want God to Bless America we need to, without qualification, follow His instructions. And, if we want to stop the killings by confused and sick minds we need to demonstrate that murder is wrong and end the belief that executions are only available to a select few. Since the Roe V. Wade despicable decision more than 50 million babies have been butchered. More than 2 million are continuing to be destroyed each year. We need to strengthen the “core” with absolute morality and until we do that murders in America will continue.

Make no mistake about it, babies’ lives matter. The Ten Commandments count, the answer is obvious and there are no short cuts. Political correctness stinks.
