When you voted
in the last election, did you vote for governmental ownership of the auto
industry, the banking industry, the insurance industry, abandonment of long
standing international commitments, or reduction of our nuclear status? I know that I didn’t. I do believe that the other side was headed
in the same direction but would have done it slower. “A world without nuclear
weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.”[3] I can’t find anywhere in the Constitution that the
government should be involved in private business. How dare any of our elected and appointed
government officials as well as bureaucrats ignore the founding principles of
our nation? Shame on them! Shame!
Shame! Shame! The main purpose of our federal government is
to protect us from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. At present we are snuggling up to our enemies
and rejecting our historical friends, such as Israel Israel
I have said in the past that our most powerful weapon was
the vote. I have come to realize that I
was wrong. The most powerful weapon we
have is prayer. The most powerful thing
we can do is pray. "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless
those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”[6] We still retain the right to vote them out of
office. Praying does not relieve us of
our responsibility to vote. “You will never
know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you
will make good use of it.”[7]
Progressivism, Socialism, and Marxism, as far as I can
determine, all basically have the same general philosophy. They are all anti God, anti personal
responsibility and support dependence on the state. If the government is restricting our
religious rights, they are treading on illegal ground. There is no doubt that the United States
“A nation will not long survive when it begins to think of
its government, not as a watch dog to be fed, but a cow to be milked.”[8] “What
we hear today is that the purpose of the government is benevolence. Now that is a very pious word and it would
seem that no one could speak against it and yet that is not the biblical
teaching concerning government. The
Bible is filled with benevolence, but it is not state benevolence that is being
spoken of, it is individual benevolence.
Since government has nothing of its own, if it is going to give
something to somebody else it must first take it from another party and
therefore it enters into the realm of plunder.
Socialism really is legalized plunder.”[9] Marx
said “If you think you’ve misunderstood me that I want your private property,
you haven’t misunderstood, that’s exactly what I want, I want the abolition of
private property.”[10] Engles
said “We want to sweep away everything that claims to be supernatural and
superhuman…for that reason we have once and for all declared war on religion
and religious ideas…”[11]
On the other hand our founding fathers believed that “Freedom
prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is
acknowledged.”[12]
The determination as to if one is a patriot or a
revolutionary is determined by the observer.
Although Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Riley among others, are
accused of being bigots, hate mongers and racists it is my opinion that they
are patriots. Put what they say to the
test of truthfulness and determine for yourself. Don’t swallow the pap you are being fed by
the other side. “Patriotism
is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves
it.”[13]
