In that order!
The only good way to govern our country is by following the guidelines set by our founding fathers. They revolted against mother England for far less tyranny than Americans live under today. Once upon a time, it was just the commies, marxists, and facists from other countries that posed a threat to our nation. Then these factions infiltrated our own country and took over the Democratic party. And since the rise of George W. Bush, the socialist agenda of the Democrats has infected and overtaken the Republican party. There are few true conservatives and constitutionalists left in American politics.
I remember reading a story told by Ezra T. Benson, who served as the Secretary of Agriculture during the Eisenhower administration. The leader of the Soviet Union, Nikita Kruschev (who followed Stalin) was going to visit the U.S. and Benson was ordered by Eisenhower to give Kruschev a tour of some of our agricultural facilities. With great reluctance, Benson agreed to do as requested by the President.
During the tour Kruschev remarked to Secretary Benson that communism would eventually consume democracy. Benson replied that Americans would never accept such a drastic change in their form of government as communism. Kruschev then told Benson that it was already beginning to happen.
He said that Americans were being fed one small bite of communism at a time, and that over the course of several years, Americans will have accepted so many communistic ideals, including a massive and uncontrollable federal government, that one day we would wake up to discover that we are a democracy only in name - that our policies and methods of government will be communist in nature. Kruschev concluded that it will be the slow injection of socialist/communist principles into America - not nuclear missiles - that would destroy our nation.
I look around at what happened to my country during the Clinton years, and I am saddened. I look at the accelerated rate of out of control government growth since Bush took office, and I am sickened.
Let me ask you something. When you woke up this morning, did you wake up in the republic of our founding fathers, a socialist-democracy that has lost its way, or under a fascist regime hell-bent on spreading its imperialist control over other nations by brute force? Just what is the United States of America? Are we Reagan's "shining city set on a hill" or are we the fulfillment of Kruschev's prophecy?
Now let me ask you a more important question. Are you going to sit by and do nothing while our freedoms are decimated by a brazen and corrupt nexus of evil, or are you going to demand liberty through any means necessary?
Vote tommorrow to end this prophecy before it is TOO LATE!
Be Blessed.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.
No, fulfilling God's will tomorrow.
Communism was a godless state Tippy, watch what you wish for!! PS. Better stock up on kindling wood your going to need it!
If something looks to good to be true, it probably belongs to someone else.
I have not missed a general election since I was 18 years old (several), and I won't miss this one either. I have to say, though that it is the first time that I did not really want either candidate to win. I feel that I am having to chose between the lesser of two evils because, as you say, the state of our country is the product of the government as it is today. We are in danger of becoming a one party government and the checks and balances intended with so many levels of the government will not exist if all goes as predicted. I will say that there is a real danger in the current "party" being tried by public opinion (or fear since most don't take the time to become educated in their future to have a real opinion) based on what their checkbook looks like, which is a true kneejerk reaction. I would remind all who do that to remember that Kennedy, whose name is thrown around now when someone is supposed to have what it takes...amusing?...anyway, I would remind you all that Carter was of the same party and our country was in pretty poor shape with gas lines and inflation. He is a wonderful human being if his works after his one term presidency are an indication, but we should have learned that being a good public speaker or even human being is not the way to choose a candidate. He was a horrible president for those of you too young to remember and not just because I could only get gas on the odd days. We have seen that there has been little checking and balancing where Bush is concerned. To think that presidents are allowed to sign a bill while declaring that they are not going to follow it? And then to find out that Bush has used it hundreds of times. I mention this because I believe that it should be our major concern to elect someone who can govern themselves and who has proven that they will be concerned with others first and then how it will affect them. I am not sure that I agree with the premise that we are/are becoming communists because when we are paying into the government the way we are, I still believe that we are paying for the very things that one would call communist in nature. What is happening now is a domino affect and I am not sure how it can be fixed without going back to the beginning and starting over but there is an agenda for each senator and congressman which makes that nearly impossible. Reference the bailout...it even had "wish list items" tacked on to that. We will "save the economy" but you will have to buy it from me for my vote. I think Reagan had the right idea, with his 2% solution and it would be much more equitable than anything that is out there now with charging smokers, upper middle class, rich, etc. while giving a break to those who do not make some arbitrary amount which is generally impossible to live on anyway. We should all pay equally and not on a flucuating scale based on wealth so that those who work hard and acheive are not penalized for it. I don't know how we can justify it (no matter how much it is necessary) unless we call it what it is: forced charity based on income. But...then should they get a deduction for that??? hmmm, I wonder. Happy voting.
God Bless Us ALL Tommorrow!
