- how did America arrive at this place in our history, where we experienced a near meltdown in the financial markets; where 20% of mortgages were in default; where America's schools were failing; where the government owned automobile companies; where real health care reform was needed but a healthcare nightmare was being rammed down our throats; where nearly 10% of Americans are still unemployed; where the private sector is being systematically destroyed by anti-small-business policies?
- how did we go from the jubilation of the election of 2008 to the overwhelming uncertainty and alarm in which we now find ourselves?
NOT. EVEN. CLOSE.
It dawned on America by early 2009 that something was afoot in Washington D.C., something not-quite-right. Something detrimental not only to us as individuals but equally as destructive to America. Something so oddly difficult to articulate that many Americans simply turned away, not wanting to give voice to, nor to hear validation of, the growing alarm.
To begin with, there is no accurate, all-encompassing word that describes what Barack Hussein Obama brought to American's highest elected office.
Is he a socialist? Well, sort of ... but not exactly. How about a Marxist? A Maoist? A Statist? Just what kind of -ist is Obama? The expedient answer, looking at his policies and the team that surrounds him, is probably statist. It's certainly the most politically correct answer. Having been forged in the gangster, union-thug-mentality that is the political reality of Chicago, I think Obama is easily a Marxist.
But hear this: in the final analysis, the label used to describe President Obama's policies and agenda does not matter.
What is a matter of grave importance is that his agenda, and the stated agenda of the many radical progressive Lefty's surrounding Obama, is unquestionably antithetical to everything that is America.
The radical progressive Left says - disingenuously - that the U.S. Constitution is merely a set of guidelines, simple suggestions. They say the Constitution was written too long ago to be relevant in the 21st century. Does this remind you of the same argument progressives apply to the Holy Bible as well? It should and you'll see why in a minute.
Progressives' (aka proggies) attitudes toward the Constitution - and the Bible - although laughably juvenile, cannot be dismissed. Their insistent belief, that the Constitution is an outdated guideline, is dangerous to what defines us Americans. It is dangerous to our individual freedom, freedom endowed solely by our Creator. If you want to upset proggies, just say the words: "Only God can bestow human rights, never government." Then sit back and watch the fireworks. It's fun if you're bored.
The radical progressive Left attempts to portray America's courageous founders as slave-owning, greedy, misogynystic men who cared not a whit for anyone, anything, but their own selfish interests. Diminishing our founders this way, proggies can, by inference alone, diminish the Constitution and all documents created by those brave men who defined and literally created America.
Proggies set out in earnest during the early 20th century to destroy freedom and liberty for one reason and one reason only. To acquire power. How? Ultimately, by destroying those very things that define us, individual freedom and liberty. How? Well, what's the polar opposite of the precept of inalienable human rights bestowed at birth by God? It is the precept that rights that can be capriciously given to us and taken away from us, i.e., rights granted by government.
90% of Americans self-identify as believers in God. Americans pray to and depend on God for guidance, cousel, comfort. So how does a proggie go about taking power away from a nation of people who who believe in God? One very efficient way is to drive a wedge between the people and their religion.
How?
First step: identify and define a useful statement "...wall of separation of church and state..." as being part of the Constitution. It isn't. Proggies know this. They also know that it sounds close to the truth, even though it isn't. But the statement's proximity to truth doesn't really matter. Proggies also know that any lie repeated often enough becomes the de facto "truth."
Joseph Stalin would be so proud of proggies.
So now we have the effective lie "...wall of separation of church and state..." generally accepted as truth.
Second step: let's go for the jugular. Let's look for places inhabited by Americans where we can use our wedge effectively, because the big often-repeated lie is now assumed by millions of uninformed Americans to be the absolute truth.
Let's start by removing God from the public buildings, public outdoor spaces ... literally from the public square. Because we can remove God; after all, we proggies say it's in the Constitution - wall of separation of church and state. We've got judges, teachers, media backing it up. Our proggie effort has been wildly successful because Americans don't know a damn thing about their own Constitution. And of course, the judiciary has played along in this charade, but that's another pandora's box we won't open today.
Let's go after the public schools next. Can't have kids praying in public, you know, if it's a public building. Same lie, same result. Prayer at school functions, ditto.
We've been so successful at removing God from the public square, by beating up Americans with our proggie lie, let's go after religious holidays. We'll start small, again in the public square. People should be discouraged from saying Merry Christmas or Happy Easter... I mean, after all, some Americans could be offended by a public acknowledgment of God, right? Who cares about the First Amendment and actual freedom of speech? After all, our higher concern must be that no one is OFFENDED.
And so on, and so forth. Are you getting the picture?
For the last 100 years, since the days of the first elected progressive president, Republican Teddy Roosevelt, America has been led down a path to certain destruction. The erosion of our Constitutional privileges and responsibilities did not start with the election of 2008. It began long ago only to reach hyper-speed under Barack Obama and the 111th Congress.
This war against America won't end with the next election, or in the next 30 years. But this time we will be vigilant for as long as it takes. For ourselves certainly, but especially for America's children. Freedom and liberty are their rightful inheritance. We owe it to them. A righteous inheritance, paid for in American blood. It has come down to this time and place. We Americans have a debt to pay.
