Debate Takeaway 5 – Children :: by Bill Wilson

Throughout the last presidential debate, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton invoked her 30 year body of work on behalf of children around the world. Whenever Republican candidate Donald Trump pressed Clinton on her leadership, she invoked working on behalf of children.

When questions came up about her wanting to undermine the Second Amendment, Clinton said, “…unfortunately, dozens of toddlers injure themselves, even kill people with guns, because, unfortunately, not everyone who has loaded guns in their homes takes appropriate precautions.”

She talked against deporting illegal immigrants because it would harm their children. She deflected attacks on her experience saying she worked for kids.

Clinton said:

You know, back in the 1970s, I worked for the Children’s Defense Fund. And I was taking on discrimination against African-American kids in schools… In the 1980s, I was working to reform schools in Arkansas… In the 1990s, I went to Beijing and I said women’s rights are human rights…

So I’m happy to compare my 30 years of experience, what I’ve done for this county, trying to help in every way I could, especially kids and families get ahead and stay ahead… and I’ll let the American people make that decision.

Trouble is, at the same time over that 30 year-plus period, Clinton was working to encourage aborting babies and supporting abortion provider Planned Parenthood.

Debate moderator Chris Wallace said, “I want to explore how far you believe the right to abortion goes. You have been quoted as saying that the fetus has no constitutional rights. You also voted against a ban on late-term, partial birth abortions. Why?”

Clinton responded that the life and health of the mother is paramount, that a late term abortion is up to the mother, “And I will stand up for that right.” The Centers for Disease Control states that 1.3% of abortions are late-term, translating to some 15,000 babies executed just prior to leaving the birth canal.

The Guttmacher Institute, which studied who gets late term abortions, reports, “most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.”

Republican candidate Donald Trump pointed out that Clinton’s immigration policy brings with it drugs and crime that even people in New Hampshire say is destroying their youth. He said there were mothers in the audience whose children were killed by illegal immigrants.

In addition, Clinton supports the outright murder of some 15,000 children being killed in the birth canal as they are being born. She also took over $20 million from Saudi Arabia, which boasts of discrimination, violence and slavery against women and children.

How can she say she works on behalf of children around the world and, at the same time, advocate policies that result in child brutality?

Jesus said in Luke 17:2, “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

Have a blessed and powerful day!

Debate Takeaway 4 – The Economy :: by Bill Wilson

Presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace asked the two candidates to explain their plans to create more jobs and growth for the country. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton said, “I want to have the biggest jobs program since World War II, jobs in infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. I think we can compete with high-wage countries, and I believe we should. New jobs and clean energy, not only to fight climate change, which is a serious problem, but to create new opportunities and new businesses.”

Clinton said she wants to help small businesses by raising the minimum wage and make sure that women are paid equally, and to “have an education system that starts with preschool and goes through college.” She promised, “I also will not add a penny to the debt.” Clinton says that she will raise taxes on people making over $250,000, yet her plan as presented on her website would cost taxpayers one TRILLION dollars.

Can you imagine paying taxes to stop changes in weather trends and paying for everyone’s education from preschool through college? How much will raising the national minimum wage cost in consumer price increases? And Clinton doesn’t practice what she preaches when it comes to pay equity.

The UK Daily Caller reports that the Clinton Foundation pays women 38% less than their male counterparts; in August 2015, the Washington Free Beacon reported she paid women in her campaign 23% less than men; and as a Senator, she paid women 28% less than their male counterparts for similar work.

Republican candidate Donald Trump said that he would renegotiate trade deals, like the North American Free Trade Agreement that sent American jobs to other countries, and bring jobs back to the United States. Trump said:

Look, our country is stagnant. We’ve lost our jobs. We’ve lost our businesses. We’re not making things anymore, relatively speaking. Our product is pouring in from China, pouring in from Vietnam, pouring in from all over the world.” Trump said, “We’re going to cut business taxes massively. They’re going to start hiring. We’re going to bring the $2.5 trillion that’s offshore back into the country. We are going to start the engine rolling again, because right now, our country is dying at 1 percent GDP.

The candidates are in stark contrast to one another. Clinton wants to create jobs at taxpayer expense-infrastructure, works programs like after WWII, jobs that fight “climate change.” In October 2014, Hillary Clinton said that government creates jobs, “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”

This will cost taxpayers trillions and further turn America socialist. Trump is advocating the only plan that has worked; cutting taxes, the one that socialists and communists ridicule as “trickle- down economics,” the plan that allowed President Bill Clinton to balance the budget from the longer term dividends of the Reagan economic program.

Exodus 18:21 says to choose leaders “such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.” Tax raisers are covetousness. They covet your money to their ends.

Have a blessed and powerful day!
