I am having a very difficult time understanding many of my “fellow Americans”.

I look around me and see the “American Way” quickly becoming something I am less than proud of.   I see that corruption in our federal government has risen to extreme levels that I never thought possible.

Radicals, socialists, communists, crooks, thugs and automatons pervade the highest levels of our government.

I see a huge power shift from the people to our corrupt government.

I see Black Panther bullies given a pass for outlandish intimidation of voters at a polling place.  By the way, my concern has NOTHING to do with race, it has only to do with America and our law.  I wonder how Mr. Holder would have handled guys in white sheets intimidating black voters in Mississippi?  (I would hope he would stow them under the jail as he should have done with the Panthers. Now I have insulted both the panthers and the clan.)

I see a health care law enacted that creates many more problems than it solves and a US Army unit training in Georgia to handle “domestic unrest” with in our own borders.

I see terrorists being called ill instead of hateful and Americans who cherish traditional American values being ridiculed and mocked.

I see presidential promises broken with a wink instead of an apology (and America winks back).

Speaking of apologies, I see POTUS apologizing to the world for everything that is good in America.

I see our government trashing our relationships with our closest allies and sucking up to those who hate us.

I see our economy being trashed and our children’s future being squandered.

I see what has been a worthless media, rising up and becoming a malignant force that seems to be bent on our destruction.

And our congress! when did it become the enemy of America?

I feel like Rip Van Winkle!

It seems that bad has become the new good and good has become outdated, uncool, and stupid. (Props to Isaiah the Hebrew prophet for warning us this would happen)

The point is, I see these things and think: Germany, circa 1936, Argentina, circa 1955 (or North Korea, circa today).  Whereas, millions of my fellow citizens, see a great new hero who is leading America to its glorious destiny.

And, when I try to talk to one of these citizens who refer to themselves by the euphemism “progressives”,  I begin to see how much trouble we are really in.  Trying to talk to these “progressives” about our founders and the constitution or freedom and its price, is worse than trying to talk to a fence post.  At least the fence post can generally be counted upon to be free from body odor and refrain from spitting on you or clubbing you to death with nonsensical sound bites and mantras.

It is more like trying to teach a pig to fly.  It is a complete waste of time and it annoys the pig.

In reading this, you may conclude that I hate Mr. Obama, but that is not the case.  I hate what he is doing to the America i grew up in.  The one that was created and preserved by the blood and sacrifice of my ancestors.  The one that I have served and struggled to pass on to my posterity.

But I do not hate Barack Obama.

I believe he is simply being himself and doing what he sincerely thinks is best for himself and those he cares about.  There are no surprises with Mr. Obama.  He is exactly what he seemed to be before he was elected and he is behaving exactly as he told us he would (for example: why should he prove he is ineligible for this great job when he can get a pass and keep feeding at the trough?).

When he reminded Republican law-makers that “Elections have consequences” shortly after his inauguration, he was simply setting the tone for his presidency.  He brought his friends and associates with him to Washington just as Jimmy Carter (the last president whose stupidity we almost didn’t survive) did.  It just so happens that rather than being a bunch of “crackers” (and I mean that in the kindest possible way.  Some of my best friends are from Georgia) Obama’s cronies are a bunch of thugs, crooks and radicals (ooops, now I have insulted Chicago).

I don’t hate Barak, I just want the USA to survive him and get back on track.

And I should say this:

Our country has been off track since long before Mr. Obama bounded onto our stage.  In fact, we have been the proverbial “frogs in a pot” for decades.

We have been steadily pursuing a slide down the slippery slope we started in 1962 when prayer was first banned in schools.  This slide was certainly accelerated in the decade beginning in 1965 during which we sacrificed 50,000 American lives in a futile war in Vietnam for which we had no clearly defined objective and no commitment to “win” (whatever that meant to the politicians), then again in 1973 when Roe v. Wade paved the way for the legal slaughter of over 40,000,000 unborn babies so far.

I thought the slide was over when Ronald Reagan was Elected in 1980.  Unfortunately, that merely just a pleasant delay, but it made me feel optimistic about our country again after the Carter fiasco…er… administration.

When you think about it, If the Obama regime serves as a wake up call to a sleeping American populace (who have been enjoying the warming water in the pot for at least five decades) before we actually boil to death, Mr. Obama could be the best thing that has happened to America in fifty years!

Think the Tea Party attitude is that of a radical minority fringe of American society? Think again!

A USA TODAY/Gallup poll conducted this past week found that TWO THIRDS of Americans surveyed ‘describe themselves as “angry” about the way things are going in the USA’ and ‘By nearly 2-1, they would rather vote for a candidate who has never served in Congress over one with experience.’ (yes, you heard right, USA TODAY published this!)

That implies that only ONE THIRD of Americans are something less than “angry” but not necessarily satisfied with the way things are going. I interpret that as saying the only people who are satisfied with the way things are going are members of congress and their staffs, members of the Obama administration, Minnesota, Hollywood, federal employees who fear their telephones are bugged and Jon whatshisname. (You know the comedy news mockery guy that takes himself far too seriously and that Obots regard as a real news anchor. Oh wait, that’s Kieth Oberswhasis, sorry)

Bottom line: We Americans are not as stupid as we were afraid we might be.

There are signs all around us that our society is terminally ill, but like the proverbial frogs in a pot we ignore them until it is too late and we are frog soup.

I feel sure that you have seen the recent story about the young Guatemalan immigrant in New York City that was left to die on the sidewalk after rescuing a woman from an attacker and getting stabbed for his trouble. Pedestrians walked around him as he lay dying in a pool of his own blood. One man actually emerged from a building and photographed him with his cell phone, then stepped back inside without attempting to help.

Multiple Pedestrians Ignore Dying New York Hero

Just a simple event on the streets of a large American city, but very symbolic as well as symptomatic of the current condition of our society.  It brings to mind the warning in Matthew 24 verse 12:

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”

Another simple but symbolic event: Last week, I witnessed the following in an airport.  A man with his cane was wheeled up to the gate in a wheel chair   He surrendered the wheel chair and tipped the helpful sky cap went on his way to help someone else.  The man sat in an unoccupied seat next to a seat that had bags of some sort in it, indicating it was being saved, presumably by the teenage girl sitting on the other side of it.  Soon a teenage boy approached and began berating the girl (apparently his sister) for not saving his seat, and demanded that the man with the cane get out of his seat.  The man was embarrassed and struggled up and turned to leave.  He noticed that there was not another unoccupied seat in the gate area and he turned back to the boy and pointing at the unoccupied chair (with bags in it) between he and his sister asked “who is that seat saved for?”  The boy looked up from his magazine and informed him “that’s where we put our stuff” and returned to his reading.  The boy’s father, sitting on the other side of his girl, observed the whole scene and said or did nothing.  The man leaned shakily on his cane until the plane was boarded ten minutes later.  Similar scenes are repeated millions of times daily across our nation.

The condition in which we now find ourselves has been decades in coming.  I suppose it was inevitable that we would eventually have the government we now have.  I am afraid we have earned it.  Look around you.  See the greed, the corruption, the apathy, the lies, the selfishness, the laziness, the complacency, the stupidity, the inhumanity that surrounds us.  Check out our media, our entertainment, our “role models”.

We banished God from our schools and public places.  We accept that its is just freedom of choice to slaughter 40,000,000 unborn babies.  While admittedly there are some dedicated and talented teachers in our school systems, they are the exceptions.  We have allowed our schools to become sanctuaries for poor teachers instead of places for our children to be prepared for life.  We  tolerate pornography and filth and all manner of evil in the name of freedom of speech.  We have become a nation of spectators, of pop-culture-worshipers, of deniers-of-truth in the name of political correctness.  We allow our “press” to screen and censor our news and tell us what to think and believe.  We tolerate corrupt politicians and allow them to lie to us and steal from us, and worst of all, to steal our very liberty which was purchased with the blood  of our fathers.

We have failed to heed the warning of Isaiah:

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Now we face woe.

THIS IS AMERICA!  THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING TO US!  Yet it has happened right under our noses.

You and I, we permitted it.

We ignored each descending step, never believing this could actually happen here in our “One Nation, Under God, With Liberty and Justice for all”.  Go ahead, deny it.  Your denial won’t change things.  It is denial that has brought us to this place.

I am optimistic by nature, but I am convinced our society is so rotten that it must crash and burn before it can be rebuilt. I pray that those to whom the task of rebuilding falls will be blessed with the faith, wisdom and humility to re-base America on the same principles upon which it was originally founded and grew to greatness. God Bless America!
