Throughout the 240 year history of our Nation, we have had many “doors”
through which we could pass.
One of the first doors through which we passed was when George
Washington was offered the position of leadership as King of the new Nation and
refused saying that we had just left a status as subjects behind and he became
the President of the United States following those who had been President of
the Continental Congress and nominally the President of the United Colonies
before and during the Revolutionary War.
The next door we passed through was when we refused to pay ransom to
the Barbary Pirate in 1803 and sent our fledgling Navy out to display the
Flag. This “war” lasted through 1815 and
we were established as a maritime power although we had growing pains at home
with plenty of trials and tribulations were yet to come. During the 1800s, we were an expanding nation
with the concept of Manifest Destiny as our driving force. As a Nation, looking back from the safety of
100+ years, we made tragic mistakes with Wounded Knee and the treatment of the
Native Americans as one of the gravest errors from which we have yet to
recover.
In the 1860, we elected Abraham Lincoln as President and the Nation
went to war over States Rights and whether or not some states could own slaves
while others did not. The Civil War was
considered by many the last of the Old European Wars where men lined up and marched
across an open field to their death and the first of the “modern” wars with
technological means of killing in horrific numbers. Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg, while not the
last battle of the war was by far, to me, indicative of this change. Just a short 50 years later, we would be embroiled
in “A War to End All Wars!” but in the meantime, the United States had become a
colonial power in its own right having acquired Cuba and the Philippines as
well as some Pacific Islands during the Spanish-American War and all that
entailed. We had also overthrown the
Hawaiian Monarchy and annexed that territory.
The 20th Century would see the United States embroiled in
several shooting wars and a Cold War with the Soviet Union which ended after
President Reagan stood before the Berlin Wall in Germany and challenged the
Soviet President Gorbachev to “tear down this wall”. Reagan left office before the Berlin Wall
came down, but the process he had started was completed during the George HW
Bush Administration and millions of people living under Soviet domination were
free to make their own choices about government.
The 20th Century also saw the first Progressive President in
Theodore Roosevelt who admittedly did some good things such as expanding the
National Park System that we enjoy today.
He used the power of the federal government to break up companies such
as Standard Oil, the Union Pacific Railroad and other shipping companies that
were strangling small businesses and manufacturers by charging outrageous rates
for goods and the transportation of those goods to market. But Roosevelt also believed in a strong
military and built up the Army, Marines and Navy. He sent the “Great White Fleet” around the
world to display the American Flag.
But he opened a door through which we are still passing.
The next step through that door was Woodrow Wilson, who believed that
the Constitution stood between him and his ability to govern the American
People. He created the League of Nations
which was a forerunner to the United Nations and which the US Senate refused to
ratify. Another step was Theodore
Roosevelt’s cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Taking office after the beginning of the Great Depression, he worked at
expanding government and actually created a situation that made the Depression
worse in the United States. He created
work projects that put people to work, but the government cannot create jobs
and companies that bid on the jobs had to compete against the Works Projects
Administration (WPA), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and numerous other governmental
agencies, some of which still exist today in one form or another[1]. World War II had started in Europe before we
actually started to clear the damage done by the Depression. In fact the stock market did not get back to
the 1929 level until the 1950s.
One more step through that door was Lyndon Baines Johnson, a despicable
human being, who was a racist, a Progressive and had represented the State of
Texas in both the House of Representatives and the Senate from 1937 until 1960
when John F. Kennedy asked him to be his running mate. When Kennedy was assassinated in 1963,
Johnson became President and immediately started laying the foundations for the
“Great Society” which was anything but. In
1964, Johnson got this program passed through Congress and completely destroyed
the Black Middle Class in America driving many Black citizens into the ghettos and
poverty that we have in our cities today.
Because of the lies told by the Communist (once Democrat) Party, many
Blacks actually believe that the Republican Party and Whites from the days of
Lincoln forward bear the responsibility for their plight.
In 2008, we finally crossed the threshold of the 20th
Century door with the election of the First Black President, Barack Hussein
Obama. This election completely
destroyed the Constitutional Requirement that in order to be President, your
parents had to be American Citizens.
Supposedly, Obama’s father was a Kenyan here on a student visa with no
plans to become an American Citizen. A
number of people believe that Obama’s father was Frank Marshall Davis, a
Communist out of Chicago, who lived in Hawaii and reportedly had sexual
relations with an underage white girl named Ann Dunham, who married Obama,
Sr. When that marriage ended in divorce,
she married an Indonesian National named Lolo Soetoro who then moved the family
to Indonesia where Obama attended a madrasa. The interesting part of this is that both
Obama, Sr. and Soetoro were Muslim. The
Muslim belief is that if your father is Muslim, so are the off-spring and Obama
is most likely registered in both Kenya and Indonesia as a Muslim although he
has stated that he attended an Anti-White, anti-USA “Christian” Church in Chicago
for 20 years. So we have passed through
the doorway of the 20th Century and enter the doorway into the 21st
Century where we have so many challenges ahead.
In November 2016, we will make choices that will impact every person
living in the United States, legal or illegal until sometime in 2050. The next President will have to choose, at a
minimum, three Supreme Court Justices who will serve for life and will make
decisions that either reinforce or continue to destroy our Constitutional
Rights for the foreseeable future.
Donald Trump is not my first choice for President but I believe that he
will take us through that door and come out the other side a better Nation than
will Hillary Clinton, an avowed Socialist whose politics are actually to the
Left of Barack Obama.
The series of doors through which we have passed since our birth as a
Nation have made us who we are today.
Whether our choices were completely altruistic or not, those choices
were made based on the fears and prejudices of those times and should not be
used to excuse the criminal actions of today by either our government or thugs
and their Liberal bankrollers.
Whether you agree with me or not, this is my opinion of the paths that
we have taken as a Nation. I believe
that the choice that you make in November will either help the United States to
step back from the precipice on which we, as a Nation, are standing or will
help to push us over into the abyss of intolerance and destruction as a Nation.
It is Your Choice! Make it
wisely!
