Does the cliché’s ‘Mom’s apple pie’ or ‘Take me out to the ball game’ bring back warm thoughts of an America that you felt part of –when your vote counted? Back when things were simple. Back when there were no doubts about most Americans ‘supporting’ America the Beautiful and her foundations. When The Pledge of Allegiance and the Ten Commandments weren’t challenged, and the Flag was respected.
America is not what she used to be. I believe the new generation(s) have been exposed to such degradation that it has affected their ability to think outside the box of what they are doing tomorrow. Some of this has to do with relying on TV for News content which is strongly tainted on what they want you to know. Many don’t know the history of our country thus what is actually happening today.
There is a saying Stand for something or Fall for anything. “ All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” Quote by Thomas Jefferson.
I see happenings everywhere as most anything that has any moral integrity is being torn down or voted out.
There are multiple issues that are monumental in our country right now. Illegal Immigration has flooded our country to the point that hospitals and schools cannot grow fast enough to keep up with them. There are no laws that effect how many can enroll in the school or what the limit is on treatment in hospitals . In fact, the US is taxed literally with having to keep up with the growth. How many Americans are aware that Illegal Aliens are entitled to and receive Social Security verifiable by the Washington Times article Illegals granted Social Security May 19, 2006 by Charles Hurt. A law purposed in California for free College from the Pacific Research Institute. Immigration And The State Budget Deficit September, 2003 (This article also highlights elevated costs of hospitals and schooling) IE: Quote from Lance Izumi “Like the state, local governments are facing immigration-related fiscal nightmares. In May, the Los Angeles county health department estimated that it spends $340 million annually to treat illegal immigrants who seek emergency or follow-up care in county hospitals. Because of severe budget shortfalls, the county is cutting services and planning to close hospitals. County supervisor Mike Antonovich warns, "With our health-care delivery system on the verge of collapse . . . the issue of illegal immigrants impacts our ability to balance our budget." A report the journal of American Physicians and Surgeons tell about approximately 84 Californian Hospitals closing their doors. More of our jobs are at risk. Consider the Illegal Alien Gold Card (by Michelle Malkin would allow them to stay in the country. It is ridiculous almost like we have a charge card for our shopping, they have their Gold 'VISA' as a guest worker amnesty program for an extimated 11 million !
This month, a bill was almost slipped into congress that would limit free speech Support the Bennett Amendment to Strike a Section of S. 1 That Would Limit Free Speech .
Who thought a Muslim would be able to be sworn into office using the “Koran”? This has already taken place in Voices of tolerance demand ouster of Dennis Prager. The people who allowed this to happen seem to be ignorant of our constitution or are making up new rules. How could this happen ?
For those who don’t have a good idea of what the Muslims religion is about and why there is a danger to it, please see the World Net Daily Article "Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the new president of Iran supports the Hezbollah and also from Radio free Europe Iran: President Says Israel Should Be 'Wiped Off Map'
Another very informative article about politics in the Middle East from Koinonia House Online Baker’s Stale Ideas by Barry Rubin from the Global Research in International Affairs Center.
I have highlighted articles and information that many people are not aware of or may not want to know. This information is upsetting and may bring you to the conclusion that If you don’t Stand for Something you will Fall for Anything. What you don’t know will hurt you, and our Country is in trouble. I hope you will take the time to take a look at the links in this article. They are revealing and will help you in knowing what is happening in our country !
