For this blog entry, I will speak/type in the quotes by others:

 

"WE ARE AT THE TIPPING POINT of losing the United States. "Unfortunately, whether we voted red or blue it made no real difference...we are all citizens of the same country. The country that used to be "the home of the brave and land of the free". Our principals and morals were sullied years ago and the "wrong track" that we are on was laid by decades of political deals and legislation that has erod

ed the founder's dreams of the "new world". Our rights and freedoms have been bought, sold and traded self-appointed political despots since the early 1900's. However, never before has the American populous turned such a blatantly blind eye to the dereliction of duty that has been allowed to be perpetrated by its so-called leaders all for their own avarice and greed. If their was any gumption left in our military leaders, they would take action on the oath that they swore to uphold, "to protect the Constitution from ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic". One fear is that we will learn nothing from all of this; however, the biggest fear is that we will do nothing because of it! While you are busy tossing the blame back and forth, the truly guilty party will be laughing all the way to the bank. I pray God's forgiveness and blessings upon each and everyone of us." -- A Very Smart Man (Willie Arnwine)"

 

 

“The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” - Thomas Jefferson

 

 

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." = Abraham Lincoln

 

 

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold:its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life.

If we can undermine these three areas,

America will collapse

from within." = Josef Stalin (Communist)

 

 

1. From bondage to spiritual faith

2. From spiritual faith to great courage

3. From great courage to liberty

4. From liberty to abundance

5. From abundance to selfishness

6. From selfishness to complacency

7. From complacency to Apathy

8. From apathy to moral decay

9. From moral decay to dependence

10. From dependence back to bondage.

The quote was highlighted in red to show a devil's advocacy point of view. When you think about it, the nation as a whole IS losing patriotism, morality, and spiritual life. This is something we need to strive to rescue from complete dormancy!

Just to justify this though, Stalin wasn't really a communist....just a evil dictator.

 

Real communists had good theories and weren't evil paranoid bastards....

I think your statement is a valid one. He was a communist, but I propose he was more radical on his own ideals than anything else. Regardless, (and somewhat unrelated) the media keeps stating we (the U.S.) will be reaching a fiscal cliff by the 1st of January 2013. I personally think we have already gone beyond this cliff, but have created "hover" tactics (rolling the debt, stalling for time)...but pretty soon, those techniques are going to fail, and we will find ourselves in an even worse consequence than before.

 

I normally don't talk about politics or any of these things, but I think we all feel so strongly that if something is not done, we will reach a point of no return...or at least a point that will leave scars for generations. But again, we may have already passed that point, and we are currently just kidding ourselves!

 

I am definitely an optimist and opportunist, but when it comes to this particular situation, it seems as though the only view we can take is the most optimistic of the pessimistic.

So true my friend, so true

 

The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants ~ Thomas Jefferson
