Sanity is defined in the dictionary as in the state of being sane or soundness of judgment. I personally think that most of our elected politicians in Washington do not meet this definition in most of their daily jobs as our representatives. There are many examples that I can mention and I will offer a few. Some military personnel who served in Vietnam and suffered illnesses because of Agent Orange exposure have been denied benefits for various reasons even after meeting the requirements set forth in the Veterans Administration Regulations. Recently, the House of Representatives voted favorable on a bill for benefits for those serving on ships in Vietnam waters who suffered from Agent Orange exposure but two (2) senators from Utah (both Republicans) halted the bill because it was too expensive and because the evidence was suspect. Medical proof must not be good enough for one senator and the other thought all the deaths and illnesses had to have a price tag.

Then the Born Alive Survivors Protection Act was shot down by Democrats that included required medical attention for survivors of abortion attempts. Now I read where a reward has been posted by the Louisiana Wildlife Department for information on the killing of a certain bird, a crane I think. And there are federal laws that will put you behind bars for destroying sea turtle and bald eagle eggs plus a hefty fine. But no protection for unborn humans, no rewards, no nothing but pure evil on those who kill the unborn. Sanity, with zero sound judgment.

I often wonder what revenge God has in store for violating what most think is the most important commandment about killing. I feel that God has really been patient with many citizens of America and those in Washington who have lost their sanity should be really worried. Where, oh where has sanity and common sense gone? Out the door for good!
