America: It's Time To Wake Up

I’m aware of the fact that some will question what I’ve written in the following article. If you are one, then I ask you to listen to All the news that is out there, liberal and conservative and then question the validity of what I’ve written. If you will do as I ask you will have all the documentation that you need.

America is a country that has stood for freedom and a place where an individual could use his or her talent to be successful in the business or any field of their choosing. People have come here from every nation of the world to make a better life for themselves and their children. The multitudes that have passed the Statue of Liberty have done so because we are the only nation that allows those who become citizens all the rights, privileges, and freedoms every American enjoys as a constitutional right. While other nations condemn America for being a capitalist nation, they depend on us to keep the economy of the world solvent and secure.

We are also a country where patriotism has been a way of life. Our troops have defended freedom all over the world. Where ever people have been oppressed we have done all that we could to help them. In doing this we have been defending our own right to be free. If it weren’t for the American forces during the second world war most, if not all, of Europe would be speaking German today. With our allies we have been the worlds policemen and I believe it is our duty to defend the right and keep people free when we can.

At the present time all of the things I have mentioned are in jeopardy. Currently those in power have an agenda that is ruthless in it’s attempt to change everything that America has stood for. The vision that our fore fathers had for this country is being trampled on by our elected representatives and we have been allowing it to happen. The two most precious things that Americans have always held dear are God and country. The Judeo Christian ethic and the patriotism we have always expressed. These ideals are as American as hot dogs and apple pie. Now they are in danger of becoming extinct.

Prayer is not acceptable in certain places, they want to remove “In God We Trust” from our currency and they’ve destroyed the system of checks and balances that have kept things in order. A good example of this is the fact that the supreme court is actually making laws instead of just enforcing them. If you question this last statement, do some research, and you’ll find that some of the things I’ve mentioned that have been deemed unacceptable have been handed down by supreme court decisions.

My question to those who care is, what happens when the powers to be have total control? At the present time, our food supply is controlled, our oil supply is controlled, the solvency of the dollar is being controlled, our economy has been devastated and our health care system is in danger of becoming government controlled. If you will stop and take a good look, you’ll see that I’m pretty close to the truth.

God has always blessed America in a special way and now it’s time for us to once again pray and ask for guidance. Hostility won’t get the job done but I believe prayer and intelligent choices when we cast our votes along with standing up for what we want will turn things around.

My opinion only: How do you know God isn't guiding us with these challenging times to say "Hey America, get your own "house" in order and keep your nose out of other countries?" The Judeo-Christian model isn't the only religion on the menu with hotdogs and apple pie, and our founding fathers were quick to acknowledge that by making freedom of religion one of country's basic tenets--just like separation of Church and State. If you want your kids to pray, take them to a place of worship; if you want them to learn how to read, take them to a public school--why is this a hardship? Can't they pray at recess? Spoon-feeding religion and enforced patriotism is hypocrisy: these feelings need to develop on their own within each individual, or they are artificial.

Our world is now operating from the perspective of a global society, which has never happened before in the history of the world. Political and religious leaders are attempting to shove historical values together as one in an effort to compensate for different cultures and beliefs. All of this is being done without considering the value of the whole. Shoving something down the throats of the people only causes more problems. An unnatural vacuum is occurring, for our spiritual heritage must be honored, without government intrusion. This is what the Constitution is supposed to protect, but it has been re-interpreted so many times, it no longer resembles its original purpose. All spiritual values are basically the same at their core. It is the interpretation of these values being defined without asking the people for their input that is causing the problem. The few are dictating to the many, and the government is listening. The unnatural void, or vacuum, is threatening not only the economy of the world, but ecology as well. Spiritually speaking, everything is connected. If you undo the historical value attached to war, greed, hate and etc, you find that everyone is basically the same. The answer is simple, but not easy. In order to get along, the world has to accept a New World design for peace. This will allow everyone to win, while protecting the values and beliefs found in different cultures. Spiritually speaking, no one has to lose for someone else to win. A Higher spiritual perspective is needed. One that the whole world can accept without loss to anyone. No one in this world can offer this, because they do not know how. A higher intervention is necessary to help our world with this radical global adjustment.

Kudos to Ms. Goodrich for her comments, it is a global economy, we do have serious global issues. Attributed to President Washington by Author Joseph J. Ellis in his book His Excellency, “Nations always had and always would behave solely on the basis of interest.” When do we really expect this to change since we as humans act for the most part the same? Our journey from establishment appears to have veered off course. We have all heard the saying, “if you don’t use it, you lose it.” Well guess what “We the People and the United STATES lost Amendment # 10 “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” We must first examine ourselves, Local and State Leaders & Legislatures for becoming so dependent on “Big Government.” We have all bask far too long in “what have you done for my district lately?” Can we take personal fiscal financial responsibility for our own lives? Begin by balancing our personal budgets, our cities, counties / parishes, states and just quit feeding DC. We have the blueprints, tools and supplies to rebuild these United States, what we lack is the understanding that it really does not start in Washington, DC. or at the top. It starts where it began the first time, in the township fellowship buildings, town halls, county courthouses and state capitols. The same places that have been criticized by the media and the out of touch bureaucracy. This quote is taken from President Washington’s Farewell address; “that your union and brotherly affection may be perpetual; that the free constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained; that its administration in every department may be stamped with wisdom and virtue; that, in fine, the happiness of the people of these States, under the auspices of liberty, may be made complete, by so careful a preservation and so prudent a use of this blessing, as will acquire to them the glory of recommending it to the applause, the affection, and adoption of every nation, which is yet a stranger to it.” Notice a few words in this statement - perpetual, free, “your hands”, sacredly, maintained, stamped, wisdom, virtue, happiness, PEOPLE, STATES, liberty, complete, careful, preservation, prudent, blessing, acquire, glory of recommending it to the applause, the affection, and the adoption of every nation, which is yet a stranger to it.” As Ms. Goodrich said so well, “the few are dictating the many,” and it is “We the People” that are allowing them to do it.
