			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><h3>I admit that I didn&#8217;t check the links in the &#8220;Why We Are Bankrupt&#8221; post before I posted it. When I did check them, I found that several of the links no longer take one to the indicated articles.</h3>
<h3>I apologize for the oversight. However, the information given through the &#8220;working&#8221; links is so vital and so relevant that I&#8217;m leaving the post on this blog.</h3>
<h3>Indeed, I urge you to follow those links and read the information given. Tell all your concerned friends to read this information as well. There is an old saying that being forewarned is being forearmed. There is also one that says ignorance is bliss.</h3>
<h3>Without a doubt, we need to be forewarned, but believe me, ignorance is NOT bliss. It is the portal into destruction! For if we don&#8217;t know our enemy, we certainly cannot protect ourselves from him. And, friends, we have enemies today. Many of them pretend to &#8220;represent&#8221; us in Congress.</h3>
<h3>Reading the information given through the links in the &#8220;Why We Are Bankrupt&#8221; post will clearly show that our government has abandoned all serious intentions of protecting us. I started to say they&#8217;ve abandoned all pretense of doing so, but NO. They are pretending all right. However, that&#8217;s all they are doing &#8212; pretending.</h3>
<h3>I&#8217;ve said it before, and I&#8217;ll say it again: America the Beautiful is in her death throes. Her own leaders, not an outside enemy, has brought her to this point. Only a miracle will save us, I&#8217;m afraid.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-size:medium;">Two boys in the same class at school, Jerry and Howard, were competing for class president. Both were popular among the students and the staff, and the contest promised to be an interesting one. As the campaign neared its close, there were three final events in which the candidates were to compete before the votes were cast. These three events were, first, a question-and-answer session in the school auditorium; second, a half-page &#8220;ad&#8221; in the school’s weekly newsletter; and, third, a five-minute speech over the school P.A. system, given during home room on election day.Things had moved along smoothly throughout the contest, but toward the end, the Principal of the school, who was partial to Jerry, planted selected students in the question-and-answer assembly and, as moderator, monopolized the time for his candidate.</p>
<p>Next, the Principal, through promises and subtle threats, coerced the newsletter’s student editor to reduce Howard’s ad to an eighth-page, while keeping Jerry’s half-page in size. This resulted in some of Howard’s key campaign points being dropped from his ad.</p>
<p>Finally, on election day, Jerry was given seven-and-a-half minutes for his speech, and when it was time for Howard’s speech, the P.A. system &#8220;suddenly developed technical difficulties&#8221; and Howard’s speech never got aired. When the votes were tallied, Jerry won by a very slim majority.</p>
<p>Many students and staff members were angry over the obvious tampering with the campaign events, but when they protested, the Principal denied any improper activity and insisted that, in spite of their &#8220;perceived&#8221; inequities, the class election had been more than fair. They ought, after all, to be satisfied with what they got, he said.</p>
<p>Rumors next ran through the school saying that the votes had been miscounted, and when a recount was requested, the Principal refused. A group of parents took the matter to the School Board. However, that particular Principal was from a minority group. The Board feared that an investigation, and any subsequent action, would be seen as racist, and the matter was officially dropped.</p>
<p>How do you see the above incident, friends? Is your sense of fair play frustrated? It should be. Such blatant favoritism and fraud is outrageous. But the above story is fiction. It never happened. The reason I gave it is to stir up your sense of what’s fair and what’s not.</p>
<p>Why? Because a very similar situation is about to take place in our federal government. It is just as unfair as the above story, and just as outrageous. What is it? The so-called Fairness Doctrine. (Have you noticed how liberals always clothe their proposals in flowery expressions?) The Fairness Doctrine is anything, and <em>everything</em>, but fair.</p>
<p>How’s that, you ask? Well, in the story above, the Principal claimed that, even though three out of three events were skewed in Jerry’s favor, Howard’s people had no reason to claim unfair treatment. This is exactly how the liberals feel about media exposure. They already control the TV and print media, but they are determined to control talk radio as well. And they call this <em>fairness</em>!!! Having two out of three, to them, is not unbalanced in their favor. It is not unfair! No; the fact that conservatives control one out of the three – only <em>one</em> – is what is &#8220;unfair&#8221; to them!!! So they have to correct it with the &#8220;<em>Fairness</em>&#8220;<em> Doctrine</em>, which will shut down conservative talk radio. (The &#8220;Fairness&#8221; Doctrine was abandoned years ago exactly because it had been found to be <em>unfair</em>!)</p>
<p>All honest people ought to be outraged over this. Even if you are a Democrat, if you have a sense of fair play, you ought to see the wrongness, in a country that has always championed fair play, of this outrageous move. Liberals <em>claim</em> to champion <em>diversity</em>, but they do not, for one moment, even tolerate it when it comes to allowing conservatives to have a voice. So much for diversity, so much for tolerance, two &#8220;virtues&#8221; they love to rant about being <em>all for</em>.</p>
<p>Just like the Soviets, when Communism reigned in the U.S.S.R., the liberals have their very own moral code. In the U.S.S.R., if it promoted Communism, it was right; if not, it was wrong. No other principles mattered. It is this way, today, with the liberals. They will lie, cheat, deceive, coerce, anything, to forward their agenda, and principles of right and wrong, of fair and unfair, have no place in their thinking.</p>
<p>This &#8220;Fairness&#8221; Doctrine issue clearly slows a very alarming trait of liberals. That is their determination to control what Americans think and believe. By silencing all opposing voices and being the only source of information, they can effect a nationwide brainwashing over time. <em>THIS IS THEIR GOAL</em>, my friends. That’s why they are hard at work in the schools. They are bent on training up whole generations of liberal thinkers. Our schools and colleges are about 90% liberal right now. If they can shut off conservative talk radio, their task of mind control will become much, much easier.</p>
<p>If you saw the story, in the beginning of this post, as unfair, you ought to see what the liberals are doing as unfair. I appeal to your sense of fair play! No matter what your political party, you ought to care deeply about <em>anyone</em> taking almost total control of the minds of a whole nation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><div><span style="font-size:medium;">Our local news just carried an account of a middle-aged man found dead with his elderly father. A preliminary investigation indicates that the son was disabled and unable to work, and that his house was being foreclosed on. Firefighters were called to his furiously burning home, where they found &#8220;accelerants,&#8221; items that strongly indicated that the fire had been purposely set. Going to the father’s house, then, to further investigate, they found the man and his father dead. It appears the man had grown despondent over his financial problems and, since he seemed to be one who looked after his father, committed a murder/suicide after torching his house.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">In this time of financial disarray, we’ll probably see more of this kind of thing. It is tragic. But to me, the far more tragic thing is that the economic disaster we are in is wholly man-made. Our financial leaders have become masters at mismanagement and irresponsibility. And our government leaders, so totally bent on turning the United States into a socialist country, are offering non-answers. This is because, to them, this disaster is not really a problem. It is a welcome opportunity to forward their agenda, and they are working hard at just that.</p>
<p>But it goes even deeper than that. The greatest guide for the present and future is the past. This nation was founded as a God-fearing and Christian nation. A lot of people argue this point, but they argue it knowing that a lot of other people don’t know the facts and can be duped. After all, our public schools stopped teaching the true foundation of America a long time ago. That, too, was part of a master plan to change the nature and course of our country.</p>
<p>But any open-minded look at the documents that sprang from our founding will show, without any possible honest denial, that we were founded as a Christian nation. These documents are readily available to anyone who chooses to know the truth. But, over time, God has been pushed farther and farther into the shadows in this country, until it is now almost a crime to mention His name. At the same time, many other gods are becoming prominent in our society.</p>
<p>It is not strange, then, that we should lose God’s blessings. The Bible says, &#8220;The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God&#8221; (Psalm 9:17). And we read these sobering words in Deuteronomy 6:10-15: &#8220;[w]hen the Lord . . . shall . . . give thee great and goodly cities . . . and houses full of all good things . . . and wells digged . . . vineyards and olive trees . . . when thou shalt have eaten and be full; Then beware lest thou forget the Lord . . . .     [l]est the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and [He] destroy thee from off the face of the earth.&#8221;</p>
<p>In Deuteronomy 28 God told Israel all the blessings He would bestow on them if they would do right. Verse 8 says, &#8220;The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto . . . .&#8221; Then, verse 11 says, &#8220;And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground . . . .&#8221;</p>
<p>For decades, America was blessed in her storehouses and in all that she set her hand unto. Truly, she has had abundance, and has fed the world. Verse 12 tells how God would enable Israel to lend to many nations, but not have to borrow. But farther on in that chapter, God described how He would withdraw His blessings if Israel turned from Him. He said, &#8220;Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine [cattle], and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall send upon thee cursing . . . in all that thou settest thine hand unto . . . because . . . thou hast forsaken me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Today, America (mis)uses God as if He were a fire extinguisher, keeping Him on the shelf, as it were, until they need Him. Look at how prayer was revived on 9-11. People everywhere were calling on God. Why? Because they were afraid our enemies would wreak more havoc on us. But it didn’t take long until America was back to crying &#8220;Foul!&#8221; every time God was mentioned.</p>
<p>This blog is entitled, &#8220;The Late Great U.S.A.&#8221; My friends, as a nation, we are nine-tenths dead. And I am not a pessimist. I have survived some severe situations, and I have kept my cheerful attitude. But neither am I a <em>blind</em> optimist. I am a <em>realist</em>. And the handwriting is definitely on the wall in our beloved nation. I am terribly burdened for America. Though my personal attitude stays cheerful, my heart is extremely heavy because of the reality that I see coming.</p>
<p>Is there a remedy? Not from government. Our present leaders don’t see a problem, as I said earlier. All the chaos we are seeing just fits into their scheme and gives them the means to change the face of this nation, which they are doing through the &#8220;answers&#8221; they are giving us today. Government takeover of everything! That’s their goal. It’s called socialism, a system that has failed everywhere it’s ever been tried. Its score is zero. Yet these blind leaders are so sure that they are smarter than those who tried it in other times and places, and they are determined to bring its disaster to us. But it will fail here too, because it is a flawed system. It doesn’t work because it <em>cannot</em> work.</p>
<p>Is there a remedy? Not from our financial leaders. That they cannot make decisions that generate real answers is evident by the decisions they’ve been making for decades and that have resulted in our present meltdown. Wisdom cried out, &#8220;Disaster is coming!&#8221; But they didn’t heed. Their personal agendas overrode wisdom and prudence.</p>
<p>But there is a remedy. It’s found, again, in God’s Word: &#8220;If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.&#8221;</p>
<p>If we become, again, a God-fearing people, we will again be blessed in all we set our hands unto. But if we persist in our godlessness, as a nation, we can only be cursed. Things will continue to unravel. People will continue to despair and suicide will climb. It is inevitable, friends.</p>
<p>I don’t have much hope that America will turn back to God. History reveals that all the great civilizations that have gone before us have followed fixed cycles that run from high moral standards and right living, through prosperity, then apathy, then moral decline, and finally annihilation. It’s a fixed principle. It won’t change for us, and if we don’t change, we’ll be <em>THE LATE GREAT U.S.A.</em> </p>

<h3>Case in point: Crystal Dixon, an African-American Christian, recently wrote a very respectful opinion piece for a local newspaper, and she was fired from her job. This, even though she had been an excellent employee who’d received honors and promotions for a job well done.</h3>
<h3>What was her “crime”? She simply expressed an opinion that is not politically correct. She was not vindictive, harsh, demeaning, or insulting. But she held a view that radicals didn’t like. And she paid the price for daring to think outside the radical leftist box.</h3>
<h3>Just how did she think? She thought it was incorrect to say that the “struggle” of homosexuals to be recognized as “equals” was comparable to the struggle African Americans endured to gain equal rights. And, HEY, whether you agree with her or not, she still has the right to express her opinion without being persecuted for doing so. After all, those on the other side of the issue certainly express their feelings freely.</h3>
<h3>But think about it. Blacks often couldn’t get good jobs. Homosexuals work in some of the highest-level jobs there are, both in prestige and in pay. Blacks couldn’t ride in the front of the buses. Homosexuals can sit anywhere they please on any public conveyance. Blacks couldn’t drink out of “white” drinking fountains. Homosexuals have never been banned from a water fountain. Blacks couldn’t go into a store and try on clothes. Retailers “couldn’t” sell anything they wore, so they had to save their meager funds and hope they bought the right size. If they happened to miss their guess, they certainly couldn’t take it back for an exchange. That wasn’t allowed either. Homosexuals can try on anything they please, and exchange anything they please. Blacks would go to a lunch counter or restaurant and sit for “ever” before getting served, if they ever did. They would watch any number of white people come in after they did, who got prompt and friendly service while they sat there being ignored and scorned. Homosexuals are among those who got the prompt and friendly service. Blacks were not welcome in most neighborhoods, and when they managed to move into some, property values actually dropped! How demeaning! Homosexuals may run into a few problems, such as when Christian landlords feel unable to rent to them, but they face nothing on the scale the blacks faced.</h3>
<h3>For homosexuals to say that their “struggle” is comparable to that of African Americans is ludicrous. They enjoy a standard of living so much superior to that the black folks had to endure that there simply can be no comparison. And, after all, they face their problems because of their own choices, not because of chance. </h3>
<h3>That’s another point Crystal Dixon made in her opinion piece. She said that she cannot wake up tomorrow and not be black. I know homosexuals scream to the high heavens that they are what they are by nature and not by choice, but it doesn’t fly. There are many homosexuals who leave that lifestyle. Besides, if people are born “that way,” and do not choose to be, why are they working so hard to convince our school children that they should choose to be “gay”? Again radical hypocrisy is neck-deep here!</h3>
<h3>Since black people cannot decide to not be black, Dixon resented the comparison of struggles as similar. Being something by choice really, honestly, cannot be compared to being something with no choice whatsoever. Now, Dixon isn’t sorry she’s black. She’s happy with what she is. But she feels her race is ill served by the assertion that homosexuals are involved in a similar dilemma as that her people went through.</h3>
<h3>I wholeheartedly agree. The homosexual “lifestyle” is highly questionable at best, and dangerous at worst. After all, it’s undeniable medical fact that by far the largest portion of the AIDS crisis comes from homosexual behavior. And there are several other health risks attached, as well. They can grind their teeth in rage if they want to, but this is still true. Trying to say their “struggle for acceptance” is comparable to that of our African American friends is an insult to the latter. Blacks were people, and should have been accepted on the same level as other people. However, homosexual behavior is not the norm, and should not be seen as the norm. There simply is no comparison between these two situations.</h3>
<h3>Back to the thought of our freedom of speech. Does it not alarm you that people cannot express an opinion in this country today, unless it fits into the mold of liberal-think, without being punished??? Crystal Dixon had an outstanding work record. She should never have been fired for having, and expressing, an opinion! That had nothing to do with her ability to do her job. Oh, I believe her employer claimed her opinion would have negative effects on her job performance, but her very job performance proves this is not true. How? Because, as a Human Resources exec, she hired homosexuals and worked well with them. This is where the proverbial rubber hit the road. She proved every day that she has no personal animosity toward homosexuals. She simply believes the assertion that their “struggle” is comparable with that of her people is erroneous. How sad that in America today, such belief is not allowed, and to express it is criminal.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">In looking up at the figurative &#8220;skies&#8221; that America lives under, I see a rather ominous cloud forming. President-elect Obama&#8217;s choices, so far, for his cabinet members leave me a bit jittery. Make that more than a bit. A whole lot more. Why?Well, for starters, his choice for Attorney General was Number Two in command in Janet Reno&#8217;s Justice Department, and a lot that happened under Reno leaves me shuddering. Secondly, his choice for Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, was co-president in charge of Reno&#8217;s Justice Department. So, this leads to the obvious question: Is Obama gearing up for an administration where abuses are perpetrated upon the American citizenry such as were dealt out under the Clintons and Janet Reno???</p>
<p>Don’t remember the atrocities of the Reno Justice Department? Well, here’s a quote from an article that refers to that dubious entity: &#8220;As James Sanders, my partner on the TWA Flight 800 investigation, can attest, silencing whistleblowers through bogus prosecution was the modus operandi in the Holder era&#8221; (Jack Cashill).</p>
<p>Do you understand that? It means that the U.S. Justice Department, under Reno – and more importantly – under Eric Holder, committed acts of gross <em>injustice</em> in order to silence those who learned and might tell the truth about <em>our nation’s leaders</em>! Bogus prosecution means downright deceit and misuse of power! With Eric Holder at the helm of Justice, honesty and integrity in Government are hardly likely to flourish, and honesty and integrity in our citizens are subject to prosecution (more like <em>persecution</em>)!</p>
<p>Read the article the above quote was taken from here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=68004</p>
<p>Need more? Okay. &#8220;As Dade County, Fla., state attorney, Janet Reno made a name for herself as one of the leading witch-hunters in the notorious ‘child molestation’ cases from the &#8217;80s, when convictions of innocent Americans were won on the basis of heavily coached testimony from small children.</p>
<p>&#8220;Charged by Reno&#8217;s office in 1984 with child molestation, Grant Snowden was convicted on the manufactured testimony of one such child, who was 4 years old when the abuse allegedly occurred.</p>
<p>&#8220;Snowden, the most decorated police officer in the history of the South Miami Police Department, was sentenced to five life terms – and was imprisoned with people he had put there. Snowden served 11 years before his conviction was finally overturned by a federal court in an opinion that ridiculed the evidence against him and called his trial ‘fundamentally unfair’&#8221; (Ann Coulter).</p>
<p>Read more from the quoted article here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=43272</p>
<p>Need I say more? I’m telling you, folks, the sky is growing mighty dark!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><h3>Well, I know I haven&#8217;t posted since the election, but I&#8217;ve just been sort of in shock. It is really difficult for me to absorb the fact that my beloved country truly has been given into the hands of someone with no real experience, no real track record (with what short one he has being so far left), and so many associations with people and organizations that hate America.</h3>
<h3>I mean, this is material for nightmares, folks, but sadly, when we woke up Wednesday morning, November 5, we found out it was real.</h3>
<h3>Ever since I was a small child, I heard the old saying, &#8220;Birds of a feather flock together.&#8221; I know there is a thing on in our society today to steer clear of cliches, but, hey. These sayings came about by hard experience and reality. They&#8217;re not someone&#8217;s creative impulses run wild. They reached the status of being &#8220;old sayings&#8221; because they bore the imprint of actual fact.</h3>
<h3>Today, however, it seems that a man&#8217;s associations &#8212; even when those associations are with quite anti-American entities &#8212; mean nothing. So what if Obama &#8220;carefully sought out&#8221; Marxist mentors and friends? So what if he sat for 20-odd years under anti-American vitriol? So what if his political career was launched in the home of a terrorist whose only regret was that he hadn&#8217;t done more terrorism than he did?</h3>
<h3>Are you thinking, right now, &#8220;So what?&#8221; Are you sighing because I&#8217;m even mentioning these things, and wishing I&#8217;d &#8220;get over it&#8221;? Well, my friend, I&#8217;m very much afraid that YOU will get over THAT before this thing is over. You see, Marxism (Communism) is human tyranny at its absolute worst. Wherever it has held power, the human suffering is indescribable. Let me give you an example.</h3>
<h3>In Russia, after Communism came into power, the working man was pressed beyond human endurance in order to make Russia the industrial giant it desired to be. Did this bring prosperity to the common man? Oh, no, my friend. The common man, in spite of working beyond his capacity, could hardly afford the clothes he worked in.  When those clothes became rags, he had to go hungry (hungrier) in order to replace them &#8212; if he could find them. Only a few managed to buy an alarm clock. But, because the Kremlin rolled out tons of propaganda about how productive Russia&#8217;s workers were, no one could afford to be late for work, alarm clock or no.</h3>
<h3>One man came into work one morning in tears. He had an outstanding work record of something like 20 years&#8217; duration. But this morning, he was late. He begged his supervisor not to report him, and this is the story he told: &#8220;I had a terrible toothache most of the night. I finally fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, and because I have no alarm clock, I overslept. Please, Viktor [his supervisor]! Please don&#8217;t report my being late!&#8221;</h3>
<h3>Viktor&#8217;s heart was rent. He felt compassion for the man, one of his best workers and a fine fellow besides. Yet to not report him would mean Viktor&#8217;s own life would be in jeapardy. There was no chance it would go unnoticed. Secret Service men were around, and informers were likely to be anywhere.  Well, the tardiness was reported, and the poor wretch soon disappeared without a word as to where or why. But Viktor pretty well knew. All over Russia were prison camps filled with such &#8220;displaced&#8221; citizens who committed &#8220;crimes&#8221; such as this man&#8217;s. The people in these camps were slave laborers, used to build the Communist empire that the world was being told was so marvelous. Viktor knew that when these slave laborers collapsed from starvation or the heat or cold, they were kicked aside to die. After all, there were plenty more to take their place.</h3>
<h3>Do you think I&#8217;m making this up? No. I&#8217;ve been reading Viktor&#8217;s book, <em>I Chose</em> <em>Freedom</em>. It is so horrible that I can only read small portions of it at a time. As a young man, Viktor bought into the glad, happy promises Communism made. He soon found out how empty those promises were, and how indescribable the horrors were that made up reality. But by then, he was, himself, a slave to the system, helpless to do anything to stop the atrocities. Much later, he was sent here to the U. S. by the Kremlin, and while here, he escaped from the Soviet monster.</h3>
<h3>Is this what you want here? Don&#8217;t think for one minute that it cannot happen. Just ask the Cubans. They believed in a young man who promised them change. When he came to power, he brought change all right. He brought in Communism, and Cuba ceased to be a happy place to live. Hundreds of people risked their lives to escape. Millions more could not, and lived the awful existence Communism drowns its people in.</h3>
<h3>Still sticking your head in the sand? Do you think that, because you do so, nothing evil can happen? What a joke! It&#8217;s precisely because so many have their heads in the sand that it just may happen. Get this, and get it well: If you hang around Marxists, you will begin to think like a Marxist. And Barack Obama hung out with Marxists. He &#8220;carefully sought out&#8221; Marxists to hang out with. That means he preferred Marxists to hang out with. And that begs the question, <em>WHY</em>?</h3>
<h3>In years past, such things as Jeremiah Wright spued out were considered treason and were punishable by death. People like William Ayers would have been hanged a hundred and fifty years ago. Marxists would not be allowed near our campuses, let alone <em>teaching </em>in them. We have been overtaken so slowly that all of this is not alarming, and it should be!</h3>
<h3>This blog&#8217;s title is <em>The Late Great USA</em>. I&#8217;m very much afraid that she just contracted the fatal infection that will bring on her final demise. What a shame. There&#8217;s never been a nation quite like her. All one hears these days is what a tyrant America is and how she deserves whatever her enemies do to her. I find this extremely offensive! <em>It is not true</em>! No matter what tragedy strikes, or where it strikes, the U.S.A. is the first to respond and the most generous with its help and support. Such vitriol is liberal-speak. Don&#8217;t you readers realize that liberals hate America? They long to bring her down. And this election may just have been a giant step in that direction.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">I recently read a news article that I found very disturbing. It was just one more example of how the media skews things toward their beloved liberals. It seemed, on the surface, to be rather bland and innocent, but I believe it was actually an effort to diffuse the concern of Americans about Barack Obama’s rather disturbing supporters. He is, after all, being backed by such despots as North Korea, Cuba, and radical Islamics. This ought to raise the alarm bells in our minds. These very real enemies of America have expressed that Obama will be friendlier to their regimes than McCain. And that worries a lot of us, as it should.</span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The article I read informs us that <em>both</em> candidates actually have supporters that &#8220;embarrass&#8221; them. It mentioned Obama’s very worrisome backers, but then went on to say that McCain also has some supporters that present a pretty negative picture as well.</p>
<p>Something was very obvious, however, as I read about McCain’s &#8220;dubious&#8221; supporters. <em>None</em> of them were avowed enemies of our nation and way of life. Mainly there were but two mentioned in the article, and both were preachers and/or religious leaders. The one’s &#8220;crime&#8221; was the opinion that God had used Hitler to &#8220;aid&#8221; in bringing Israel back to its homeland. The other’s was simply a statement that Islam was a violent religion. Real bad guys, right?</p>
<p>Now, I don’t agree that God used Hitler, although in ancient times He had used Israel’s enemies to bring them in line. But I can’t see how this man’s opinion poses a threat to anyone. The only threat to Israel, today, is from these same Islamics that support Obama! And the other statement that Islam is a violent religion, is simply the truth. Right now there’s a move by radical Islamic leaders to get a resolution passed in the United Nations that will bring persecution to anyone who chooses Christianity over Islam. And in other parts of the world, those who do so are already being persecuted. Islamics hate Christians, and they not only may, but do, use violence to push their religion’s growth, so unlike Christianity.</p>
<p>You have heard about the peaceful Muslims here in America, and I agree that there are many of them. However, this peaceful state could very well exist because Islam has not yet reached a position of power here in America. Conditions are anything but peaceful for non-Muslims in those parts of the world where Islam has power. And political correctness is giving Islam more and more validity here in America. What do you suppose will happen when these peaceful Muslims are told that Allah demands their participation in &#8220;holy war&#8221; against their neighbors? If the resolution I mentioned above is passed, and Islam is given international backing for suppressing Christianity, the picture could change very rapidly.</p>
<p>Do you doubt this? Well, don’t. You don’t have to take my word for it. Just read the Muslim holy book, the Koran. If America’s peaceful Muslims are told their faith and loyalty to their religion requires them to carry out the Koran’s aggression against non-Muslims, they will have two choices. First, to comply and enjoy the blessings of Allah. Second, to be charged with heresy and executed. Given such compelling choices, what do you think they will do?</p>
<p>John McCain’s &#8220;embarrassment&#8221; over these &#8220;dubious&#8221; supporters is merely a sign of weakness in my view. He is bowing to political correctness instead of standing against it. This is one of the reasons true conservatives are disappointed in the Republican candidate. The choice is still clear, however, as to which candidate conservatives need to support. Obama’s &#8220;embarrassing&#8221; supporters actually pose a threat to our way of life. The fact that they see him as friendlier to their despotic positions is more than scary. It’s terrifying.</p>
<p>I am very disappointed, and disturbed, by the way the above-mentioned article dilutes people’s concern about Obama’s supporters. I can&#8217;t help but wonder if that wasn&#8217;t the intended purpose. Even when the mainstream media tells the &#8220;truth,&#8221; they do so in a way that casts a negative slant toward anything not liberal. &#8220;Oh,&#8221; the article seems to say, &#8220;Obama has questionable backers? Well, so does McCain. So what. They’re both in the same boat.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not so, my dear reader. McCain’s &#8220;problem&#8221; supporters are not truly a problem. Obama’s, on the other hand, could very well <em>sink</em> the boat – with you and me in it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><h3>There has long been a muzzle on the mouths of those who dare to try to speak up for scientific research that casts doubts on the theory of evolution. And, folks, there is scientific research that casts such doubts.</h3>
<h3>We hear a lot, these days, about not mixing religion with government. That&#8217;s a total distortion of the Constitution, but it&#8217;s also an arena where liberal hypocrisy is rampant.</h3>
<h3>What do I mean? Well, academics who are dedicated to Darwin show the same devotion and earnest reverence to his theory that Christians show toward Jesus Christ. So, while no religion is allowed, they flaunt their own. However, their devotion supercedes rationality and reason, because even when the arguments against Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution ARE scientifically sound and wonderfully clear, they simply ignore them and continue their mindless worship of Darwin&#8217;s long outdated theorems.</h3>
<h3>Outdated, you say? Yes. Darwin&#8217;s idea of a human cell is so far outdated, next to what microbiologists have now discovered, as to be compared to &#8220;a star next to a hundred galaxies.&#8221; And Darwin, himself, allowed that he might someday be proven wrong!</h3>
<h3>It&#8217;s one thing to believe something, but it&#8217;s another thing, altogether, to suppress the expression of any opposing belief by someone else. This goes on everyday in American colleges and universities. No one is even allowed to QUESTION Darwin. To do so brings upon the questioner severe penalties. So much for freedom of speech and the right to think for oneself!</h3>
<h3>This flies in the face of science itself! What is scientific inquiry but the search for truth. True science looks for evidence and then follows wherever that evidence takes one. Darwinism, on the other hand, declares something to be true &#8212; when it&#8217;s a THEORY, after all &#8212; and then stops the inquiry right there. Those who continue the inquiry &#8212; and, God forbid, dare to talk about their findings &#8212; are blasted as ignorant and scientifically inadequate. Talk about bias!</h3>
<h3>HERE&#8217;S SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS:</h3>
<h3>Well, there&#8217;s a petition you can sign that is trying to pry open the closed doors of academia&#8217;s bias and allow people the freedom of inquiry and of speech. I URGE YOU TO SIGN THIS PETITION. Here&#8217;s the link:</h3>
