As an applicant for the vacant Luzerne County Commissioner seat, let me clear up some misconceptions.
Rumors that I am a political crony and lackey for Greg Skrepenak are a distortion of the truth. I will admit that I was one of his biggest supporters in his first run for office.
Let me emphasize that I believe Greg has done a magnificent job against the drug problem in Luzerne County. Regarding county fiscal management, however, he has done poorly.
I can honestly state that I am a friend of Greg Skrepenak. Judging by his actions, Greg Skrepenak is not a friend of mine. He has not returned a phone call from me in the last two years. He has never done me a political favor.
My political belief is principles over politics. I would never support moral atrocities such as abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, embryonic-stem cell and human cloning. Pro-life and whole life must go together. Human life must be respected from conception until the moment of death. I will support U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback because of this outlook.
I vehemently oppose many members of the Republican right wing because of their horrendous outlook on economics. The love of money is the root of all evils. One cannot serve two masters — God and money. One cannot talk family values and not value families. One cannot serve the greedy and not the needy. Corporate and political greed motivated by exploitative and unbridled capitalism is the ruination of America.
As a staff writer on the Bible and apologetics on the only Catholic International Web site located in Canada, I ask the public to look at my ideology and philosophy on economic justice. Go to the following Web site: www.Catholic-Legate.com – hit “Apologetics” and then “Bible Buck.”
I believe that I only can be elected by a miracle — an act of God. Here is some proverbial wisdom to all politicians. Proverbs 22:8 states, “He who sows injustice will reap calamity. One’s life must be motivated by biblical principles and Christian virtues.”
