Release the Christian missionaries
It is really upsetting at the way the Christian missionaries are being treated by the Haitian government and some of our liberal media. All of these children were being taken, at the consent of their parents, to an orphanage in the Dominican Republic - just a few miles from Haiti.
But, the Haitian dictator decides to use this as a “hate
America” and a “hate Christianity” topic for one of his soapbox speeches.
This was an emergency situation. Those kids needed to have their next meal. It was a reasonable thing to do.
The parents knew exactly where the kids were being taken and certainly they could have been brought back when their parents knew that there was food and shelter for them.
Shame on our American “leaders” for not speaking up.
But some of them also seem to have contempt for our country and for Christianity (“America is not a Christian country!”)
When we hear of the thousands of Haitians who die of starvation, typhus, typhoid and cholera in the near future we can remember this incident.
Hopefully, the nine missionaries who apparently did not know that all the paperwork was not in place will stick with their leader and refuse to be released until they are all released and all charges are dropped.

Right to protect homes
I say (Sue) Tibbs’ law has some unconstitutional holes. We as citizens have the right to protect our selves even from the government’s heavy handed law enforcement. Our founders meant for we the people to even resist an unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer’s life if necessary. See Plummer v. State 136 Indiana. There is a lot of case history to fortifying ones home from unlawful break-ins from crooks or so-called law enforcement.
Tibbs’ and the state legislature are undermining and racketeering against the peoples’ right to self-defense and that their papers and effects and person should be safe and secure from all outside intrusions.
