We don't need a society of vandals

When demonstrations triggered by the death of George Floyd spread to Philadelphia, vandals defaced a statue outside City Hall of an old white man. They spray-painted the words “colonizer” and “murderer” on it. But the statue was of Matthias Baldwin, a 19th-century businessman and abolitionist.

Baldwin was a vocal opponent of slavery decades before the Civil War. He founded a school for poor black children and paid the teachers’ salaries for years. He also advocated voting rights for black people well before the enactment of the 15th Amendment. None of this spared his likeness from today’s Jacobins.

Nor was the Baldwin episode an isolated case. Boston protesters painted graffiti all over the Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial, including the phrases “Black Lives Matter,” “No Justice, No Peace,” and “Police are Pigs.” Yet that memorial honored the men who comprised the first blacks to fight in uniform for the Union Army during the Civil War. Their heroism was captured in the 1989 film “Glory,” for which Denzel Washington won an Oscar. In Philadelphia, too, vandals defaced the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution, with the graffiti “Committed Genocide.” Overseas, Winston Churchill’s statue in Parliament Square was defaced and then covered for its protection by a large metal box. The British government cannot be confident that the nation can celebrate the leader who, more than any other, stood up to fascism.

The debate over symbols of the past is legitimate, but what we have are indiscriminate attacks on all elements of our shared history. Today’s vandals are not really attacking evil; they’re attacking the past. It’s one thing to argue against honoring the Confederacy either because it fought against the United States or because it fought to preserve slavery or both. It’s quite another to destroy things simply because they date back to a time you cannot remember and cannot be bothered to find out about. The first is a reasonable argument; the second is nothing but malignant violence.

Debates over removing monuments should happen in public, overseen by elected officials. When the debate is given over to the mob, you get the sort of general vandalism that we see now. Taking down statues of Confederates is different from targeting those of America’s founders, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves but are celebrated for other achievements in the nation’s founding and for the advancement of liberty.

Wanton attacks on symbols of the past are partially rooted in ignorance. Given how much schools and colleges focus on racism in America’s history, it’s no surprise that the mob assumes any old statue it sees must be of somebody irredeemable. The trend also fits the concept seen in other revolutions from the French Revolution to the Khmer Rouge of trying to erase the past and starting over from Year Zero. Today’s street vandals call the police “pigs,” but who are those displaying porcine ignorance, and who behave most like the pigs of “Animal Farm,” making no distinction between innocence and guilt?

In a civilized debate, people can discuss the nuances of who we choose to honor and who, because fellow citizens want to honor them, we should accept in the interests of reconciliation and national unity. Such a debate would recognize that history is messy and that some people who achieved great things were also deeply flawed. It would also provide an opportunity for all sides to feel heard and make any decisions more sustainable. Lawlessness short-circuits this process, which is part of the extremists’ purpose.

The Hate That Will Destroy America

The first American president I can remember since I have been born was Harry Truman. Since then there has been a list of them that have campaigned and were elected to serve the American People. Some never did much while others did a fairly good job. It is never easy making decisions as president of a county like the United States because there will always be those who will disagree and work against the president. But the problem that I see hear with President Trump is not only do people work against him but he is hated. When he was campaigning for the presidency he was hated and after he won he was hated even more. The politicians in Washington did not believe he would be elected. The Democrats and even some Republicans hate Trump because they see him as an outsider. A very big concern for career politicians who want the same old status quo, in other words, the same old existing state of affairs, especially regarding social or political issues. These politicians say they believe in the rule of law which is supposed to govern our land but their actions are far from it. They obstruct ICE and law enforcement. They reject our immigration laws and now they are talking about the rule of law during the impeachment hearings as if they abide by it. They do not believe in the rule of law." They come from sanctuary cities that nullify federal law and they support those cities. They need to read and become educated in the Constitution of our great land. They do not believe in the rule of law which is the principle that all people and institutions in the United States are subject and accountable to, also the law of the land, that it is fairly applied and enforced. Most of the politicians go against the law of the land and try to govern by arbitrary decisions made by some of the government officials. They want to govern by their personal whims rather than the rule of law. Most politicians want what fattens their bank account and the prevailing agenda that will keep them in office. The truth of the matter is they want absolute power with no regard for the rule of law that has governed our land for years. 

For nearly three years the main focus of the Democrat Party, because of their hate, is to belittle and criminalize Trump or other people that he has nominated for an office under his presidency. It is called hate. The big issues of our country have been bypassed by congress because of their hate for Trump. Trump takes no money from the government for a salary but donates it where it is needed. He does not swim in the Washington cesspool and he caters to nobody except the best interest of the American people. He is hated so much that after this impeachment hearing has been dropped it will be something else. On and on it will go until the end of Trump's second term. Then who or what will be Next. Think hard on that one! There is a great percentage of people now who hate this country.  They hate the laws, the Judo Christian beliefs this country is founded on, and basically, they hate everything America stands for. They hate the flag, the president, police officers, the armed forces of this county, Christians, and everything America stands for. Ronald Regan once said this and it is the truth: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." Never in my lifetime have I ever seen this country filled with so much hate.

We were tolerant, now they are not

As I sat last night and thought about the changes to our country during my lifetime of 72 years, I have realized this, the USA has almost done a 180-degree turn in her principles, her values, and our way of life. The values and principles that made this country great. Now I also realize this country on its present course will be reaping the winds of destruction. 
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a few dissatisfied and discontented students chose not to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag and not to bow their heads during the moment of silence. The rest of us didn't like it much, but we tolerated and put up with it. When you give an inch the devil will take a mile.
Their numbers grew. They started burning flags. The flag of this nation that men died defending. We didn't like it, but we tolerated it. They made fun of our faith in God. The God who blessed our forefathers as they built this country according to His word. We didn't like it, but we tolerated it.
Now if we wear a cross, go to church, or honor God in any way to show where our faith lies, they don't tolerate us. If we stand to say the Pledge of Allegiance, they don't tolerate us. If we stand and bow our heads to pray, they don't tolerate us. If we raise our flags and display them, they don't tolerate us, because you see, tolerance, in this country, is only one-sided ... and those who tolerate become the enemies of those who do not.

America's Real Men

Image may contain: one or more people
Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. Hold a musket ball in your fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two. There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so just wait your turn. Take your cleats and socks off to get a real experience.


Then, take a knee on the beach in Normandy where man after American man stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces, the very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers most had were the
dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.

Take a knee in the sweat-soaked jungles of Vietnam. From Khe Sanh to Saigon anywhere will do. Americans died in all those jungles. There was no playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what flag they represented. When they came home, they were protested as well, and spit on
for reasons only cowards know.

Take another knee in the blood-drenched sands of Fallujah in 110-degree heat. Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress. Your number won't be printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay hydrated but there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your own.

There are a lot of places to take a knee where Americans have given their lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought as a source for your displeasure, you dishonour the memories of those who
bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what the red stripes mean. It represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your liberty.
While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of the ground taken, but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering forests and bitter cold mountains, every inch marked by an American life lost serving that flag you protest.
No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans, just American men and women, delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us, blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee." You haven't any inkling of what it took to get you where you are, but your "protest" is
duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to defend you under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is retired.
If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for preserving this country for as long as He has We'll beg forgiveness for our ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all because
He is the one who provides those things. But there will be no
protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the brave. It goes like this, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

It is Called The Rule of Law.

I have read several letters to the editor recently that have bashed President Trump and the conservatives for their stand against illegal immigrants. There should be no problem with anyone rebutting articles in the local paper or a blog.  The problem is in some cases not one of the rebuttals are based on anything the letter to the editor was about, for example, the immigration problem.
The main problem is the rule of law. People who come to this country illegally are breaking the law. It makes no difference what country they are from. There is no way around that issue and there are no free passes. The law is being broken. If people will break the law to come to this country what will stop them from breaking any other law? There must be a limit to what a person can do when they come to this country. Coming here illegally is not one of them.
Most Americans, conservatives or liberals, have no problem with anyone coming to this country legally. They deserve their chance at the American way and to become Americans.  Most immigrants who come here legally are good workers and very seldom break the law. We all agree with that. There are people all over this world who have come to America and became a part of the American dream. Where the line is drawn is when it is illegal.
One thing I cannot understand is people will come to this country because they say their country is bad in all respects no matter what the problem is, but yet when they get here some will wave the flag of their country while burning the American flag and complaining about America.  No matter if you are an immigrant or a citizen who was born and raised here you must obey the rule of law.

The Proud American. (A True Story)

I have met a lot of proud Americans during my lifetime but here is a person that will always stand out in my mind. My electric company was doing a small electric job for an elderly lady in the small town of Federalsburg, Maryland. For her age, she still had a sharp mind. As we did our work we noticed a national news service was on TV and she was watching. One of the news stories was about illegals climbing over the wall at the border and coming into the United States. She began to speak out and kept saying: “This is wrong”. We asked her if she was okay and her reply was yes, but if this keeps going on we will have no America. She then got up from her chair and walked over to where two frames were located on the wall in plain view and pointed to them and said: “THIS IS THE WAY I CAME TO AMERICA” Those two frames contained certificates of two people who came to this country, through Ellis Island. One frame was hers and the other was of her husband who passed away many years ago. She said they had to be investigated and tested to see if they had any kind of disease or criminal record. Over a course of time, they had to learn and use English as their language. There were other things they had to do but these are the ones that stood out in my mind. Her husband worked for a factory in Federalsburg for many years until his death. In 1946 they built a house in the town and became just one of the town people.
America has always been a melting pot for all people who want a better life or to escape persecution. That is how America was founded and should always remain. Every person should have a chance to have part of that American dream. Not one American should deny a person of this right. The thing is they must do it the right way. The way this elderly lady and her husband did. They were proud to be called Americans. The first thing that every person should know is America is governed by the rule of law and if you want to come to this country you do not come by breaking the law. What percentage of the people who come to this country illegally come for the jobs, How many of them come to escape persecutions, how many are terrorist from countries who hate America, how many are the ones who are drug smugglers, or how many are gang members in our cities? These are the questions that every American should ask. It makes no difference if you are white, black, Spanish, Jew, oriental, or from the Far East. If you are an American you must keep America safe. When America has people coming here and will not blend in, people who want their own communities and their own laws, fly their flag from where they came from and openly burn ours. To me, that is a clear warning sign that our nation is in trouble.
The really sad part about this is there are many good people who want to come to this country legally, but because of illegals, these people may never get the chance. Most of these people would give you the shirt off their back or would do anything for you. Like me, most Americans have no problem with immigration as long as it is legal. Many people around me are legal immigrants and they are blending in well. I will do anything to help them and I am sure they would help me. I am submitting this article to our local newspaper but it is doubtful it will be published because they most likely will consider it politically incorrect.

AMERICA - The Two Sided Country


There is a question we all need to think about. It makes no difference if you are a republican, democrat, conservative, or liberal. The question is so important and it is for the American people to think on. “WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO AMERICA?” Is this the same America we all grew up in or are we missing something. Are we a two-sided country? If we look at how things are done in this country that is exactly what we are.

If a white man does not like a black man the white man is a racist. If a black man does not like a white man it is their first amendment right. If an American citizen tells a lie to congress they will be arrested for committing a crime. If a senator lies to the citizen it is called politics. The federal government using the taxpayers’ money spends untold amounts of money on prisons and prisoners, but not a cent on their victims. We can kill a helpless unborn child in the mother’s womb, but people will protest the execution of a mass murder or the killing of a wild animal in some other country. We can use the fetus of an unborn child but you had better not use that of an animal because it would be called animal cruelty.  In the public schools, our children are taught the homosexual is okay, but you had better not mention God’s name in the process or bring a Bible to school.

We do not burn books like some countries did some decades ago. We just re-write history to our liking and make new books. We got rid of the communist and the socialist threat in this country. That was easy. We now call them progressives. Something else I do not understand. For decades American soldiers have been protecting the South Korean border while we cannot protect our own border with Mexico from drugs, illegal immigrants, and gangs that will kill you in a heartbeat.

If you protested against Barrack Hassan Obama’s policies you were a traitor to this country, but if a person burns an American Flag or a statue of Donald Trump it is their 1st amendment right. The TV, movie theatres, and the internet is loaded with pornography and all sort of filth for our kids to see but you had better not put a nativity scene, a cross, or anything to do with Jesus Christ or Christmas in any public place.

The government takes money from the people who work and gives it to people who do not work. Now in some cases that is the thing to do because some people need help. If a person is disabled we should help them. Sad to say over half the people could work but will not work in a pie shop testing pies. We call riots protest when in fact it is breaking the law. The burning of buildings and destroying property is not protesting. It is breaking the law. The only thing not stolen in a shoe store, during riots, is the work boots. Our country has become a country of handouts for the “WHAT YOU GOING TO GIVE ME” crowd.

All Americans will say they support our constitution but the fact is half the people will only support it when it supports whatever their agenda is and as far as freedom of speech goes you had better be politically correct.  Our kids are being dumbed down by Ritalin when a large percentage does not need Ritalin, only correction and discipline. Kids are started on video games at an early age and the older they become the more violet the games become. America’s children are the future of this country. Parents need to bring them up in the way they should go.  America’s downfall will not come from Russia, China, or some other country it will come from within.

Just The Facts

Remember the old TV program “DRAGNET” with Jack Webb? One of his famous lines was “Just the facts”. So let us deal with just the facts today in this article.

There are so many articles in the local newspaper lately about gun control that would make a person think that there is an agenda by the left to remove guns from this country. I never realized or knew how big this movement was until I read several different articles in the paper. There are never are any articles about pro-gun just anti Gun. People, especially teenagers, will protest without knowing all the facts, without even knowing why they are protesting. Some teenagers were asked what they were protesting and they could not even answer. They only protest what they hear or see and because other people are doing it, without ever checking the facts. These teenagers are better known as the Tide-Pod generation. It is called the dumbing down of our kids. Before they protest about anything, including guns, they should be required to study the Constitution of the United States.

For example, we had school kids all over the country [on a certain day] walking out of school protesting the recent shootings in schools. I wonder how many of these students would have protested if the protest were held not during school hours. The media was all over the story about kids walking out in protest but nothing was said about some kids in schools having a walk in instead of a walk out. What more can you expect from a liberal press? There was some difference of opinion over the issue of gun control and the violence caused by these shootings but the American people read only one side of the issue. How in just a short time could there have been such a walkout all across this nation? The answer is, it was planned and put into effect as soon as the school shooting happened by liberals and progressives who want to see the confiscation of guns in this country.

 At one school kids were so unruly during the walkout they destroyed an American flag which is all a part of the liberal agenda and then tried to assault a police officer. The very flag they destroyed represents the very means that allows them to protest.

They were protesting, if that was what you could call it, and most of them knew nothing of what they were protesting. By that I mean the deep roots of why they were protesting are not being brought to the front. I am not afraid to say there is a bigger issue behind all of this and it is not about gun violence. There was a picture in the paper of a girl holding a sign that said: “Eighteen Century laws can’t regulate 21st-century weapons”. Down through the history of this country, our constitution has done a pretty good job so far. What law or amendment does she want to go next? These signs are right out of the communist playbook. After the guns go the liberals will have the Holy Bible gone and their version will replace it.

How about the fact that there are 11 kids a day killed in this country a day because of texting on their cell phones while driving. That is over 4000 thousands kids a year being killed by texting and driving. I guess we should ban cell phones from kids and while we are at it automobiles too because they are part of the blame for this sad waste of human life. Another sign held by another kid said; ”we want education without fear of annihilation”. I also would like that same thing whenever I drive to the store or drive to church without the fear of being killed by a teenager texting while driving.

The sad truth here is most kids are being dumb down by a liberal agenda that are using gunning violence as a platform to promote their agenda. It is sad when liberals’ have to use our kids to promote their communist agenda. It is the liberals’ in this country that are trying to mobilize our kids for their cause. More time should be spent on teaching the history of this country and what it stands for. But what is happening is some of our histories is being deleted out of our history books and our school curriculum. What percentage of kids in this country even know what the Constitution is and what it stands for, sad to say a very few if any.

The issue is not about gun control. It is about controlling a nation of free people by taking away the only means of keeping ourselves free. Some people will laugh at that statement. But it is the truth. History is trying to repeat itself right in our backyards and most people cannot even see it. We only need to look at Russia, Germany, China, Cambodia, Cuba, and many other nations. Look at what happened to them. The guns were taken and then the real slaughter began. Millions were murdered because they protested the governments of these countries. This is the same road America is going down. A gentleman from Scotland wrote, to the local newspaper and said This; America has no need of people running around with guns. He also stated we have a most capable military to protect us. This is true. We have the finest military to protect us from all outside threats but not from the Trojan horse which is getting bigger in our country.  That is the reason for the second amendment and the reason for our Constitution.

Lastly, I read an article in the local paper about a church that was having a prayer vigil against gun violence. That may be fine, but the church [all churches] needs to go above and beyond this. The sad thing is their mind is dull and they are being deceived. Any Bible believing church knows there is more to be done than just a prayer vigil against gun violence. The roots of the problem go a lot deeper than gun violence. It is called THE SIN PROBLEM; which is an all-inclusive word for Rebellion against God and His Word. The history of the world, as eyed through the Bible and some other good history books, plainly show the fact that when God is in control the nation prospers and when God is not in control there is evil, violence, and every sin a person can imagine. My friends God is not in control of America. We have forsaken Him. We as a people have turned our backs on him and now we are reaping what we have sown.  America is now reaping for the killing of millions of unborn children in the womb, the removing of anything that pertains to God from our schools and government buildings, and the promoting of homosexual lifestyles in the schools and in government, which clearly are against God’s laws. Our government and sad to say most of our churches are falling short of preaching and upholding the truth and the Constitution of this country.

It is true that the United States is 3rd in murders throughout the world, but if you remove Chicago, Washington, DC., Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans look what happens. The United States comes in at 189th out of 193 countries in the entire world. And what is more amazing is the five cities mentioned here have the most strict gun control laws in the nation. Now please tell me about people wanting to pass more gun control laws. The true problem in this country is not the need for more laws. It is THE SIN PROBLEM.

OBAMA- The Enemy From Within

Obama has the power to close the border and as president it is his job to do it, but I’m like most Americans, we know that he never will and In fact, he refuses to close the border. Any president this country ever had would have done that. At least to some degree. But he does nothing There is nothing in Obama's $3.7 billion request that secures our border and stops the illegals from crossing. "The American people must understand that this flood of illegals coming across our border is a crisis and Obama is the cause. This President's lawless action, such as DACA have caused this severe problem. By his actions he has clearly demonstrated to the American people that he is not bound or compelled by the Constitution or our great nation and will not take seriously his obligation, as president, to defend the United States borders. Why is that? It is part of his transformation process that will destroy this country.

"This crisis is destroying our communities and putting the burden on American taxpayers.  Right now there is an enticement for illegals to continue to pour across our border. It is called free stuff such as food, medical care, free housing, social security benefits all payed for by the tax payers and delivered to them by Mr. Obama. The only way to discourage and stop them is to seal our borders and send them back to where they come from. The best way to do this is for the Governors call up their National Guard units to secure the border. We must put a stop to this problem. By doing this it also commits the United States House of Representatives to fund the states for the cost of securing the border and protect Americans from the onslaught of illegals. By doing this It would also recognize and defend the constitutional authority of any governor’s right to deploy the National Guard to secure the border and protects people.

"In order to resolve the crisis on our southern border, we need to strictly enforce our immigration laws - something the Obama administration has failed to do. Ask yourself this question; “Why would a president of this country, not protect our borders?”There is a reason and an answer for that. The destruction of America as we know it. Securing our borders and deporting individuals who have arrived illegally sends a clear message that such behavior will not be rewarded with citizenship,.

The border problem is just one of the many problems facing this country. But the biggest problem we are facing this country is another year and a half of Obama. Will we have a country left after his term in office is up. I have said this in another post and I, personally, believe it to be true; Obama is not for the black race, the white race, or any other race. He is not for America. He is for the destruction of America.

My Country Tis Of Thee

If you are old as I am you will remember singing this song in school and other events.“My country, ‘TIS of thee, Sweet land of liberty.” You felt safe, most of the country’s leaders were men of honor. They said what they meant and meant what they said. Our parent sent us to school knowing that we would be instructed right and we would all grow up to take our places in society. Where has it gone? What has happened to our school system in this country? What our children are taught and exposed to in school in these days, more often than not, becomes the philosophy of tomorrow’s government. And right now most of our school systems are not looking all that good.

When I went to school we had prayer, Bible reading, Pledge allegiance to the flag, and you would always see a Bible on most teacher’s desk. The biggest “no no” that happen in school was chewing gum, disrespect to the teachers, and smoking in the bathroom. That was soon taken care of with a trip to the principal’s office and an uncomforting warming of the butt. And if that did not bring you in line then you just did not go to school. The kids were safe in school and their parents could go through the day with no worries about their children being safe and being taught right. My how “My Country, TIS of Thee” has changed since I went to school.

Here are some of the “benefits” that the “It’s for the children” concept, by this government, has given to our schools: surveillance cameras, strip searches, metal detectors, food police, lock downs, cultural sensitivity and diversity training. And let’s not overlook their most incomprehensible and egregious benefit thus far: the“presumption of guilt” and zero tolerance policies, that criminalizes innocent childish behavior, Which will likely haunt the innocent for the rest of their days. In short, schools, even “preschool,” have become “factories” that are teaching and conditioning the young to be obedient subjects in a totalitarian society. To put it even more bluntly, the school systems in this country have become a tool for the ungodly government that rule ( yes I said rule because they throw governing out the back door) our country. While teaching our children they are implanting in their heads liberal, ungodly, and non American ideas that will destroy America as we know it. We will be defeated from within.

None of this bodes well for my beloved country’s future. Sixty seven years ago God gave me three gifts: life; a future; and, the ability to know what was right and what was wrong. I said that to say this, It scares me to see how our young children are brainwashed in the public school system in todays world. No wonder so many people are now home schooling their children. The most notable thing here is most of these home school kids are doing so much better learning and are so far ahead of their counterparts in the public school system. I have four grandchildren who are home schooled and are doing just as good if not better with their learning than the kids in public school. Along with that, their parents as well as I do not have to worry about their safety or what they are putting in their heads that is not according to our beliefs or the way America was founded.

Just as the Hebrew children were taught every day, in Bible days, about how a Great God delivered them from bondage, our children must be taught the values that have made America great and a world leader. Values such as, this nation was founded on the principals found in God’s Word (The Bible), being conservative, having good work ethics, and most important looking to God as our Great Provider and not the government.

AMERICA - In Distress


It seems to me if people can use the American flag as a door mat, if they can spit on it, burn it, write nasty slogans on it, step all over it, and degrade it, then people who want to fly the flag upside down should be allowed to fly the flag that way? Under the conditions normally set for the military at sea if you fly your flag upside down on a ship it means you are in distress. And most people in their right mind think America is in distress.  After looking up the word in the dictionary for a clear meaning I think America is in distress. Our country is suffering and in agony. This is not the same country we grew up in.  America is on a slippery slope to destruction and only the people with common sense can see the destruction coming. The other side of the coin is there are people who will still follow the pied piper and still drink the Kool Aid.

Most Christians and most conservative Americans were shocked and scared when Obama won re-election. They have a right to be after his first term of dismantling and destroying our country. A person has to question how did he ever get re-elected after seeing what he did to our country the first four years. But the fact is they need to be more scared of the people that re-elected him. These are the same people that can re-elect another Obama if there is ever to be another election. Who are these people who would destroy the greatest nation on the face of the earth? It is people who, like Obama, hate America, people who will not work and want government handouts, people who have worked hard to bring capitalism down and to have a socialist (communist) nation take its place. Then there are the people who know no better, the ones that are deceived by the master deceiver himself. They are like little children holding their hand out for a free gift. These are the people who we really need to take notice of. It is a sad state of affairs when the takers of a nation can rule that nation being maintained and held up by the makers. There is something wrong with this picture.

When the American voter will re-elect a man that is a deceiver, a liar, one with a narcissistic personality, a divider, and a hater of our country, then we as a nation are in trouble.  As I read in some of commentates I see where there is a movement, in over forty states, by some of the people to secede from the union. Some will say it will not last but this movement will only grow and if nothing changes it could turn into another civil war. I know a lot of people do not want to hear that. So will say that is going a little too far, but the truth is America is ripe for such a thing and most of it is caused by our great divider in chief. The one who worked so hard to divide this nation the last four years.  Hard working people will only go so far in letting the government take their money and calling it taxes, while giving it to the takers.

As more and more of our constitutional rights are taken from us people will stand up and say enough is enough. America is more divided and split apart than she has ever been. Deliverance will not come from the barrel of a gun or a voting machine. Most Americans have never been so homesick before wanting the America of old, the one they grew up in and could feel safe in, to return. It is the time for all Americans that know how to pray to get on their knees and pray for deliverance. People will soon realize this when all else fails. There is only one who holds the keys to the future of America and He is the Rock this country was built on. JESUS CHRIST
