I’ve never been one to take much of a chance on anything that involved other individuals or society at large. I am quite willing to lay my life on the line for my country, and for what I believe it stands. And, that can be stated in a few short sentences:

THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE OUR INDIVIDUAL DESTINY.

THE RIGHT TO WORSHIP AS WE CHOOSE.

THE RIGHT TO DEFEND OUR PERSONS, FAMILY, AND PROPERTY.

THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE OUR LEADERS.

I believe the Constitution of the United States of America provided these rights to us. I also believe the Constitution was formulated by men with a knowledge of, and, at least, tentative agreement with, the prevailing religious beliefs of the citizens. The reason I can say this is that I know from my studies of religions worldwide (and I have studied them since my teenage years) that there is no other religion on earth that actively promotes the freedoms which our constitution provides besides the Christian religion.

The leaders of our good nation are selling our heritage, our birthright, for a bowl of porridge. The finan-cial leaders (those controlling our financial institutions) both in and out of government are selling America one business at a time, one plot of real estate at a time, and giving away our technology and knowledge which brought us to the leadership position we have in the world today.

Special interest groups are fighting tooth and nail for “laws” to support their agendas, and the money to support these agendas (which comes from the pockets of us, the people). And, some of these groups have succeeded to the point of controlling certain departments of our government, and are now forcing the rest of us to accept their decisions concerning very large portions of our lives. A substantial portion of our government is doing things which would appall the vast majority the population, should it know the WHOLE TRUTH.

People with HUGE AMOUNTS of money control what you and I see and hear on the airways today. Just ask the price of a 30 second ad on any news channel. DO NOT BE DECEIVED. YOU WILL HEAR nothing on these channels that DO NOT SUPPPORT THE AGENDAS OF THESE FOLKS. And, this also applies to the print media, radio media, and even Hollywood. A certain amount of dissension is allowable, but any substantive disagreement will, most assuredly, be unallowable. According to these folks, the problems facing America today are:

Economics

War in Iraq

Social Programs (healthcare, social security, retirements, etc.)

Energy

Right now, I, along with many Americans, are looking at foreclosure on real property. All of us are suffering. Folks who have made credit available to the populace with little regard for the actual value of the collateral, and, worse yet, made credit available without any collateral (credit cards) have done us a disservice (to state it mildly). However, just as the population bowed under the weight of the Great Depression, Americans today will bow down under this burden (and it is a burden laid upon us). And, Americans will rise up again, take control of our destiny and continue living. I know where my loyalties lie, and I shall stand by them to the death. Economic disaster is definitely not the worst thing that could happen. And, it is not the worst thing facing America today.

War is engaged in for two reasons: MONEY (which buys POWER) and IDEOLOGY. This war is no different. While our leaders proclaimed democracy (ideology) as the primary reason, be assured that it was folks with HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY and probably JUST AS MUCH POWER that pushed America into war. First of all, history has repeatedly shown that a war of aggression based on ideology has yet to succeed for any length of time. No matter how friendly the natives become, changing their basic beliefs will never be accomplished through violence. The threat of death only endears their basic religious beliefs a hundred fold. It would mine, and I’m sure yours, also. Where else do we turn when facing death? That said, look beyond the war at the ideologies involved. It is not about dictatorship or democracy. There are some quite benevolent dictators around (few and far between), but some. What is really on the line is BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. We, as Americans, have those rights guaranteed by our constitution (like it or not). They are also a part of the basic beliefs of the American people. When you have never possessed those rights, they are pretty much a pie in the sky. And, when those rights are not a part of your basic belief system, they just don’t really matter that much. Will we win? We might get a democracy established. But, maintaining a democracy within a population whose basic belief system does not support, will be very difficult; probably very unlikely. (Keep in mind the conflicts within our population which this war has spawned and will continue to spawn.) But, this war, in particular, is not the worst, or even second worst thing facing America!

Many Americans, and I’m one, rely on social programs to live. These social programs are made possible by the sweat and work of millions of Americans. I, and most of you, contributed to these programs throughout our working life. These programs must never be considered to be a right. They are a benefit and a privilege paid for by American sweat and tears. When we think that America owes us anything, we’re wrong. Without America, we would not know life as we know it right now. Folks, when the money for these programs is no longer available, how do you think we’re going to receive any benefit? FACE THE FACTS. The only way our government can continue paying these benefits is to borrow the money. And, America is already living on borrowed money. WE CANNOT BORROW OURSELVES OUT OF DEBT. And, if America had to turn over its assets to those we owe right now, AMERICA, AS WE KNOW IT, WOULD CEASE TO EXIST. We shall have to tighten our belts (maybe obesity will decline). We shall have to make do with what we can do. And, as always, those who cannot do, will be helped by those of us who can. That is the American way of doing things. It’s part of our basic belief system. The decline, or even the demise, of these Social Programs is not what really threatens America!

Without adequate energy America would certainly be in the dark (and I’m not being funny). However, I can look at the skyline of ANY city at night, and see millions of dollars of energy lighting up the sky. Our government tells us to begin conserving our energy. Why don’t they? They tell us we are the ones who pay for the energy, and they’re absolutely right. We pay their energy bill for them, too. Seems to me what’s good for the goose is good for the gander! But, those with MONEY AND POWER will continue to use OUR ENERGY for THEIR PURPOSES, until we, the people stop them. If they were concerned about energy, they would have already invested in the research necessary to produce it. But, it is to their benefit to push the problem to the breaking point so we, through our government, will spend our sweat and tears to get what we need. I can remember when we had kerosene lanterns for light, and carried water to the house. If it comes to that, so be it. I can live that way (not so easily, but I shall survive) And, so will millions of other Americans. We shall work our way through this. We may have to walk, and we may have to work during daylight hours, but, we’ll get through! We have enough technology, right now, to energize America. Those who possess it must make it available, and those with the money must make it happen. America is broke financially. If you’re an American possessing large amounts of money, you have a moral obligation to invest in the America which provided the means for you to attain that wealth. But, America without adequate energy is still not the worst that can happen to us!

I know I have just painted a pretty dismal picture of America’s future. But, I am an American from the days of the revolution which made us free, and I believe in the basic belief system (not necessarily in the religious institutions, just as many of our founding fathers) upon which America was founded. There has never been a greater country than America, nor has there ever been another belief system which could found her or sustain her. As long as there are enough AMERICANS like me, we will carry America through any circumstance she might face, and at whatever price that may be exacted. You may believe in whatever belief system you want, but the belief system that grounded this nation is the only one that can sustain her; like it or not. When we, as an American, decide we’re not willing to pay the price for being an American, and, when any other belief system takes control of America, from without or from within; AMERICA, AS WE KNOW HER, SHALL CEASE TO EXIST.

First, many, many Americans believe that America (that’s us, we, me & mine) owe them a living. We do not! They have been lead down a road of deception that tells them to get an education (whether you can actually do anything or not), so you can get a good job (which is quickly becoming non-existent thanks to some who would rather pay another country’s way than America’s), or you can learn to manipulate others to get what you want, or, you can live off the system of benefits paid for by others’ sweat and tears. I, and you, know there are some of us who absolutely have to have help from all the rest of us. But, to try to provide EVERYONE unwilling to pay the price for living, a living, is not conducive to productive citizenship. And, yes, an education is very beneficial; but, only when the means are available to use that education productively. (I know folks with advanced degrees stocking grocery store shelves). This should not be; but, thanks to those selling American jobs overseas, it is the way it is. And, sadly, because of selling American jobs overseas, the general population, because of decreased income, is obligated to purchase the products they’re selling back to us.

FIRST, STOP THE VICIOUS CYCLE of selling out opportunities for Americans to be productive overseas, and our neighbors. From what we have seen of how large corporations have been doing business, it is obvious that they are part of the problem, and quite unwilling to be part of the solution. (Maybe one will step up to the challenge.) Small businesses have provided the vast majority of jobs inside America for several years. It will be the American willing to invest in pursuits conducive to revitalizing our economy that will be the means for stopping this cycle. (America seems willing to bail-out, rescue, hand-out, or whatever you want to call it, to large corporations.) Why not bailout, rescue or hand-out to the thousands of Americans who have invested everything they owned (and lost)? Just because large corporations control large amounts of money does not make them any more worthy to be helped because of its mismanagement than any one else. If this whole scenario was a “credit crunch”, why not give the money to the consumers(and freeze their credit), who could then pay their debt; thereby relieving both the creditor and the crediter? Why can’t we do something right for a change?

SECONDLY, instead of forcing people into densely populated cities so they can obtain their handouts (and I am not alone in calling it just that.), establish residential areas where these folks can do what they pres-ently can, and learn to do things to become productive citizens. And, this would surely entail citizenship classes about what it really is to be an American, not how to live off the working population. It would also require some of us to invest in businesses to support these communities; more jobs, more opportunity for these folks to become productive; more of the American way. Five similar “cities” were built, and organized, during the “New Deal” era. Surprise! Surprise! They are presently owned by the public, not the government.

Secondly, and the single biggest threat to America right now, is that the basic belief system of our population is shifting from the one that founded and sustains us to others. This is being promoted from within our population and from without. Those from within our population are doing their utmost to re-move any trace of our belief system from the public arena. They don’t want it taught in schools while teaching their own beliefs. They don’t want it to affect any decisions they want to make on behalf of America as a whole. And, they use the Constitution, which gives them the right to disagree, to promote their own basic belief systems. Simply stated, their belief system cannot sustain America and her Constitution. In fact, only by rewriting America’s Constitution will they be empowered to control America completely. (Have we forgotten that this is exactly what they want to do?) It is a matter of personal control, i.e. morality (that hated word). Instead of teaching self control through an established code which would enable each one of us to make real decisions for the good of all, it would be legislated through the law and enforced by the police. You may do whatever suits you without considering others, just don’t get caught! Morality cannot be legislated. Morality must be taught. It is not in human nature to consider the other person first. Any suggestions as to the reason why the population now believes that you should be able to do whatever you want, have whatever you want, by whatever means possible; our national heritage be damned? There is not an American alive who can live completely free of violating some law, legislated by our government. We are either completely ignorant of the law, misinterpret the law, or disobey the law out rightly. Consider that there are, across our nation, tens of thousands of laws from the federal, state, county, and municipal jurisdictions. We do not have a police organization capable, nor will we ever have one, capable of policing all of them. Even now, there is talk of “selective enforce-ment”. If we, as Americans, as citizens, cannot control our own behavior, life as we know it in America is doomed.

Those from outside our population (there are many thousands of them within it right now), have publicly stated their intentions. They broadcast their intentions around the world. It is no secret; we just ignore them as if they didn’t exist; or, we direct our attention to whatever problems they can help create. The Iraq war is one of these “problems”. These folks are content for us to continue killing their own people, wasting our money, paying an exorbitant price in lives, if we will just ignore the fact that they are within and quite close to controlling America. Yes, I’m talking about the Moslem, the Islamic belief system. Those of us who would change everything about America willingly accept the Moslem. Mostly, they have no idea what the Moslems believe, other than in someone called Allah. They have no conception of a theocracy, a government controlled by a religious leader. If they think a government founded and sustained by particular religious belief (without coercion to join it) is unacceptable; they need to look into this one. If you don’t agree with the leader, it’s your possessions, your family, your head. And, I know your next thought: “but, he has to be a dictator to do that.” Guess what, folks. Our government has been “set up”, just so the take-over can succeed. First, about their belief system:

ALLAH is GREATEST!

ALLAH demands total ALLEGIANCE. (even in Saudi Arabia public Christian worship is outlawed BY THEIR LAW EVEN IF THEY DO NOT RIGIDLY ENFORCE IT.)

ALLAH tells us to advance ISALM by ALL MEANS. (Remember the Ottoman Turks, Malaysia?)

TO DIE FOR ALLAH is the SUPREME LIFE SACRIFICE. (Better than living for Allah!)

THE INFIDELS MUST DIE! (A convert is only considered a proselyte, the Koran in any language other than Arabic is erroneous)

OUR LEADER is ALLAH’s SPOKESMAN (A woman has absolutely no authority, even if granted the privilege of speaking in public)

Your next thought: “but the moderate Moslem is not like that!” Where is the overt action against the “radical Islamic factions”? If you were an American living in an Islamic country taken over by the United States, where would your affections lie? Whom do you think the thousands of Moslems in America will support should a Moslem gain control? Not all Moslems have come to America to embrace the American dream or American way of life. They, and other ethnic groups are allowed to separate themselves from the American culture. They are allowed to become citizens without even tentatively agreeing with the foundations of our society, even when their belief system is overtly anti-American. How can we expect anything else from them?

Now for the “set-up”. What better way to facilitate immigration into the US than to start a war? Any student of history knows that when America goes to war, we welcome, even encourage, immigration by the “victims”. And, it is not just the country which we “help”, but most any other citizen of like ethnicity of surrounding countries are also welcomed. Behold, September 11, 2001! Not only did our reactions to this “terrorist attack” (I’ve seen the conspiracy rhetoric, and some of it is obvious, although not necessarily related) open the doors of our country to the Moslem, it prompted the initiation of “The Patriot Act”, which has subsequently been renewed. This legislation gives the government unprecedented freedom to monitor AMERICANS, as well as foreigners. More importantly, it gives the President the power to initiate MARTIAL LAW (should another attack threaten the government’s functionality)and use private property for whatever purposes he desires. That’s not a particular problem so long as the President has the interest of the nation at heart. (In the hands of a Moslem?) This law also defines “terrorist” as anyone who violates any law of the federal or state governments, and then strips them of any rights. Last December, President Bush was sent a document without either House or Senate floor vote giving doctors authority to disarm American Veterans who might pose a threat to themselves or others. (The only ones capable of defending America from within without centralized control) And, recently, President Bush signed a document giving the FBI authority to investigate ANYONE, WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE, OR EVEN “SUSPICIONS”. What more could a prospective Moslem President want? I remember Malaysia; do you? The Moslems immigrated for decades, elected members into Government, and eventually elected a Moslem President. Within months, thousands of Christians and Buddhists were slaughtered, and Churches and Buddhist Temples destroyed and desecrated. How close are we to doing the very same thing, with everything in place for him to take complete control of our country? Can’t be done? This is America. Malaysia was “Malaysia” before the Moslems took control. So were at least four other countries in the only slightly more distant past. Remember the Ottoman Turks? Check out the history of Islam. Don’t take my word for it! Google it! Check out the latest info about radical Islam on Palestinian Media Watch. See what Islam teaches their children, even in countries that claim to be our allies.

From Within: Please, Folks, study our heritage, our history from books from times past. Don’t believe everything you’re being taught without researching it yourself. Understand that, even if you do not agree with the religious institutions (I don’t agree with many of them) promoting Christianity, Christianity is the belief system upon which this nation was founded. Remove the foundation, the nation falls. (Picture a skyscraper being jacked up, walls cracking, floors bowing, windows shattering, doors cracking, while its foundation is destroyed, and another built. You have an idea of the position America is in right now.) An informed decision is one you make after you learn ALL YOU CAN about the pros and the cons, about this, about that. Then decide what is best, not only for you, but, what is most beneficial for most (not just some) of us. How can we make an informed decision if the truth about the candidates is not published. To what organizations do they belong? What are their true basic beliefs? Who supports them financially? I know something about John McCain (we were in the same war), but Barry (Barack) Obama? Open up, Media News Services: tell us. America deserves that. Americans must know.

From Without: Know your enemy. Know what he believes, what he will do. Know his propaganda inside his own peoples. Know who and what they are supporting with finances, technology, and weapons. Know HE WILL BUY, LIE, CHEAT, STEAL AND KILL TO GET AMERICA!
