Is the United States Being Groomed for Tyranny and Fascism? You Decide!
Many of my family members and friends I have known most of my life would probably be surprised that I am “getting involved in politics.” No, I am not running for office, but I am keeping informed of what is going on in our country. Yes, I am a conservative, but as for a political party affiliation, that’s not an issue. Politics is a difficult topic for many people today, but that does not mean that Christian conservatives should not be concerned about what is happening to our country.
First of all, I have been watching the family unit being torn apart, piece by piece; parental rights are being systematically destroyed, and now, children are being given everything from condoms, sex education in schools, abortion on demand without the consent of the parents and “cradle-to-grave funding for their education. In other words, “Don’t worry Mom and Dad! The government knows what is best for your children more than you do.” It goes without saying that the mainstream media and extremely liberal “elitists” are speaking louder than ever before on these issues. It’s obvious because parents are not allowed to spank their children anymore because of child welfare laws in place protecting children from abuse. Now, I’m all for child abuse laws. No child should ever be beaten to the point of death by anyone, especially parents. But there is a huge difference between a basic spanking, also called corporal punishment, and beatings to the point of bruises and serious injuries. I was spanked while growing up, and I didn’t turn out to be a lunatic; nor did I abuse anyone else for that matter. If I did something that I was told not to do, I suffered the consequences of my actions.
Let’s move on to the “No Child Left Behind Act” that was signed into law by President Bush. What’s up with that? When I was in school, students were sent to the principal’s office for being disrespectful to the teacher, fighting with another student, and they were sent to the corner or the hallway outside of the classroom if they were disruptive. A student either did their homework or they failed the course, and most likely had to repeat the grade in the following school year. We were required to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and no one made an issue about it (not even the Jehovah’s Witnesses). Nowadays, students don’t have to worry about personal or academic accountability because the schools and teachers are being held responsible if a kid drops out or fails for the entire year. We also have atheists “foaming at the mouth” about the Pledge of Allegiance all because one nation “under God” was added to it back in the 1950s. Even when my mother and my grandparents went to school, they had school prayer. What is the problem? I’ll tell you what; if you don’t want to pray, or say the pledge, then don’t! Just stand there quietly and show some respect. But, no way are the atheists going to stand for this!
Now we have the courts deciding on the definition of marriage in many states, calling the vote of the people (defining marriage to be between one man and one woman) unconstitutional! Excuse me?? Since when does the US Supreme Court legislate from the bench? I thought that they were required by Constitutional Law to uphold what it says. They’re not upholding anything. The judges sit there and argue over “what ‘is’ really means!” Where is the common sense? We’ve got the homosexual community throwing it in our faces about their lifestyle, demanding that Christians accept them no matter what the Bible says. And at the same time, they’re pushing to have special civil rights consideration with the new thought crimes bill being considered in Washington (1).
It gets worse, people. Now, with the help of the Department of Homeland Security, Christians are now considered “right-wing extremists” because we oppose gay marriage and anything that is immoral. According to World Net Daily, it states that the unclassified report “further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.”(2)
Today’s liberals actually believe that the Constitution that our founding fathers fought for and died for 230+ years ago doesn’t apply to us today. And my ranting doesn’t apply to just one particular group or issue; it applies to the First Amendment as well. There are atheists and other “left-wing extremists” who are taking the Establishment Clause and tearing that apart as well. It states the following:
[“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”]
For example: According to the Department of Homeland Security, I am now considered a “right-wing extremist,” because of my Christian and conservative views. I don’t own firearms, but I support the Second Amendment. I also believe that the Unites States is supposed to be a sovereign nation, and I am “tea’d off” at the spending by our current government under President Obama, and under President Bush. According to another blogger, Oliver North, it is a “frightening acknowledgment that political speech is being monitored in America.” Apparently, it is acceptable for the left-wing extremists and mainstream media to tear apart everyone who opposes gay marriage, gun control, illegal immigration and high taxes, because they are supporting President Obama’s liberal Marxist and Fascist agenda in Washington. But God forbid that anyone should challenge “the Great Leader” of our nation on what he is doing, which in essence, is breaking our Constitutional Laws! President Bush did the same thing when he pushed for the Patriot Act not long after 9/11, therefore, he is no saint either.
It is a shame that in my lifetime there hasn’t been more of a public outcry within the Christian community that I know personally. I’m not saying that we should stoop to the level of what the other side is doing. But we MUST stand up for our freedom to practice our faith. If we don’t do it now, our children, grandchildren and generations to follow will be indoctrinated into the Fascist way of thinking.
