Reader comments about this quote:

(-; I'm not sure of the author's scriptural reference or, if she is just waxing poetic — evoking a greater power's support for emphisis ;-) The current occupying statist theocracy infesting this land is well invested in infanticide (by human sacrifice to the gods of pleasure and life style, as well as killing any new revealed fact, truth or otherwise that would cause a perceived negative against the demonic structure / religion, etc.
