THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - All Politics Are Local

Opinion by Martin

One night I had a dream.  It was a dream about a powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that, if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed.  Then I woke up.

I found that the dream was broken.  It was broken by Big Politics, Big Unions, Big Businesses, and by elements of Big Government with an agenda, and the People without an understanding of why all politics are local.

When you look at the Electorate today, the majority feel that if you just sit back and do nothing, everything will work out for the best.  They really don’t understand that the Vision Statement for the United States is the Declaration of Independence and the Operating Manual is The Constitution.

Our Republic is like a garden that requires constant care to flourish and expand.  The Democrat Party and Liberals understand this and know that all they have to do is to wait out the people and they will be able to poison the Garden of Freedom, killing the plants that our Founders so carefully laid out.  The Left wants you to think that their way of handing out all services for “free” to anyone who asks for the goodies is what all Americans want, when actual polling points out that the opposite is true.

All politics are local because as the primary citizens who live in your neighborhood, village, town or city, you have the most impact on the people who are elected at this level such as school and library boards, etc.    Once you have the mayor and city council responding to your wishes, you can then expand your wishes and desires to the County in which you live and then, the State and Federal Governments.  But, each individual must realize that it takes ALL of the citizens working together to achieve the desired goals.  To state that you are for a piece of legislation or person running for office is not enough.  You must work for that person, put up yard signs, ring door bells, make phone calls and talk with your neighbors to make that legislation law, or get your candidate elected.

Right now!  Today!  This Nation is in great trouble!  There is a would-be dictator at the wheel and he is driving us down the road to destruction!  Now is the time to support the candidates at the local level who are going to stand up against this person and tell him that he does NOT have the right to destroy 237 years of Independence.  He is NOT a king!  He is just a petty politician tied to union thugs and international criminals based in the United Nations. 

This November, We the Citizens, working together can save our Nation from this debacle, but we have to work together!

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - The Zombies have arrived

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES

Opinion by Martin

 As we look through movie history, we have been either thrilled or scared half to death with the stories about zombies, the undead who return to maim and add others to their ranks as they amble through the story before finally being dispatched by the hero and his/her friends.

Today we have a real group of zombies.  Masquerading as the Democrat Party they have worked for years in subterranean darkness to build up the numbers needed to make an impact on the living.  The zombies include union thugs, criminals pretending to be social organizations, long dead walking Civil Rights icons who are still looking for their next big score and finally, the United Nations, a group of mad “scientists” who pretend to be diplomats wishing to take over the world, bending its citizens to their will.

Since the election of Obama in 2008, they have been able to walk among us on the surface streets of the Nation terrorizing the general population into submission and working to suborn our National Pride to a government gone rogue that uses dictatorial powers while not even pretending to respect the Founding Documents that created our Country.

Today we have no heroes who will dispatch the zombie hordes.  You, the citizen, are the hero.  You must put on your white hat and drag these undead creatures into the light of day where the powers of darkness are diluted.  You, the voters must band together to turn back the tides of evil and allow Reagan’s “shining city on the hill” to stand once more as a beacon of freedom.

It is up to you!  Either stand and fight or surrender to the forces of evil and succumb to the zombies who wish to destroy your lives and subvert your will to the “dark side”.

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - Gun Control

Opinion by Martin

Throughout the years before the birth of the United States, royal families and their minions have attempted to strip the citizens of kingdoms and nation-states of the weapons that could be used against them and for the most part, they have succeeded.  We could wander through history and pinpoint numerous situations where the monarchy or government was overthrown by force of arms, but that would also be offset by the times where an armed citizenry had assisted the government in the defense of their country.

In Europe, the ruler, whether an actual royal family or someone who took over the power of government, would provide protection for the subjects who tended the fields and, when required, formed the bulwark of the military forces facing incursions by others whether a military organization intent on taking over and expanding a neighboring kingdom, or a band of outlaws robbing travelers.  At any rate, except when needed for defense, most heavy weapons were kept locked up in the castle or at the location that served as the central government for that particular area.  The majority of the population, mainly farmers and tradesmen, had light armament at home – swords, spears, and bows that could be used for self defense or hunting when allowed.

With the invention of the gun, a man on foot with minimal training could defeat an armored knight who had years of practice and thus a new threat to the status quo developed.  Immediately the “powers that be” decided that this was a threat that had to be stopped before it got out of hand and so began to think of ways to convince the citizenry that guns were dangerous to the individual.  It worked in most of Europe with peasants only allowed light weapons for hunting.  Then came the United States.

As Europeans populated the Western Hemisphere, they found that they needed weapons for self defense as well as hunting.  As the years went by, the colonies created militias to provide a first line of defense against the natives, outlaws and the French (or British, depending on which side you were on).  But as the colonies expanded and began to move towards Independence, the needs for weapons were discussed, the Right to Own and Keep Arms became codified in the Constitution of the new Nation, much to the disgust of people who felt that the government would provide the defense of the citizens.

Today, there are groups who believe that the Constitution is a document that can be changed at the whim of a politician or judge with a “God-complex” who feels that since taking office he/she is no longer bound by the desires of the people who put him there, whether elected or appointed.  Throughout the history of the United States, there have been groups that wished to overturn the Second Amendment of the Constitution and disarm the citizens.  Onto the scene have come the “Brady Bunch”, Mayor Bloomberg of New York, and the media, as well as others who have no desire to let the facts of gun ownership get into the way of their agenda which is to disarm the citizens and only allow the government and criminals to possess weapons.  Again, you can look at Europe and other countries that have national gun control, the rate of crime rises exponentially with the imposition of laws against gun ownership.

A gun is a tool!  It is no different than a knife, baseball bat, hammer or chain saw.  When a gun is sitting on a shelf, loaded or not, there is no chance that it will decide on its own to leave the shelf and kill or maim someone.  There has to be a person who intends to use a gun to commit a crime to walk to the shelf, pick up the gun and shoot someone else.  The same goes for the knife, baseball bat, hammer or chain saw.  If someone wishes to kill or maim someone else, there will be a weapon available even if it is the criminal’s own feet or fists. 

I have been a member of the National Rifle Association since 1955 and absolutely support the Second Amendment to the Constitution which allows the citizenry to keep and bear arms.  The only restriction on the Right should be criminal conviction in which a weapon of some type was used.  There are background checks required for those purchasing from licensed dealers but, as a citizen, I should be able to purchase and give a weapon to a friend or loved one as a gift.

I believe that it is very disingenuous for the Bloomberg organization – Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) to feed European newspapers their misleading “facts” and “figures” to create gun-free and criminal-rich environments in the United States.  As long as the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights stand, American citizens will be Free Men and not subject to the whims of an out of control bureaucracy masquerading as a government.   

THE ENEMY HAS BREACHED THE WALLS - Campaign 2012

Opinion by Martin

Today is Easter Sunday 2012 and the battle for the hearts and souls of the American People is in full swing with some politicians promising Easter Eggs and Candy in return for your vote and others threatening your ability to make a living and support your family if you don’t “give your fair share”.

On Easter Sunday, mankind is supposed to remember that Jesus was crucified by Roman soldiers as an “Enemy of the State” and, after three days, he rose from the mausoleum in which he was interred to sit at the Right Hand of God, His Father.

However, the world today is in turmoil with internecine warfare that threatens to engulf the planet with death and destruction and a victory for Evil.  With Fundamentalists of all stripes wanting you to believe that “their God is the only God” and even Atheists believing that their “Religion of Nothing” is supreme, that your God is wrong and you don’t have the right to worship as you wish.

 

Today is Easter Sunday 2012 and the battle for the hearts and souls of the People of the World is in full swing with some leaders promising Easter Eggs and Candy in return for your support and others threatening to kill you and your families if you don’t submit to their rule.

It is your choice! 

Freedom or Submission! 

Good or Evil! 

God or Satan!

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - The Achievers vs The Recipients

An Opinion by Martin

One night I had a dream.  It was a dream about a powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that, if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed.  Then I woke up.

I found the dream was broken.  It was broken by Big Politics, Big Unions, and Big Businesses and the Lack of Vision.  It was broken by the dying off of the Achievers, the destruction of the Great Engine of Production, and the rise of the Recipients.

Many years ago, I was told by a wise lady that the “gimme” generation was her fault because having lived through the Great Depression, the people of her day decided that their children and grandchildren would not have to face this type of problem again.  So they built a Great Engine of Production that created wonderful dreams to be passed on.  They became the Achievers.  Some of the Achievers were altruistic and some were greedy.  Some Achievers dreamed for mankind and some for themselves.  But they achieved and the Great Engine of Production hummed and produced goods and services.  Unfortunately, that generous generation, the Achievers screwed up.  They forgot that when you give things without collecting some form of payment, a mentality of indifference is born.  They created the Recipients.

As time moved on, the Achievers passed from the scene leaving the Great Engine of Production working and producing goods and services, but no one had bothered to learn how to operate and maintain the Engine.  The system that produced so many wondrous began to falter from lack of maintenance.  Other countries began to fill the need for goods and services with cheap imitations but, at a much slower pace than the Recipients demanded.  With the Achievers gone, and none of the Recipients having learned how to run the Great Engine of Production, the Recipients now turned to the government to demand that the products and services generously provided by the Achievers be guaranteed by the one organization which can produce nothing except empty promises and vacuous platitudes.  The Achiever and his Great Engine of Production had become an endangered species, a vanishing dream.

Are you an Achiever or a Recipient? 

Do you wish to be part of the Solution or are you part of the Problem?

If you are an Achiever, you will work for the restoration of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  You will work to restore the Government of the People, By the People and For the People. 

If you are a Recipient, you will continue to whine for the government to place demands on others so that you may have a lifestyle that you have not worked for at someone else’s expense.  

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - The People vs. Politicians

Opinion by Martin

As long as I can remember the politicians up for election/reelection have been telling the Citizens that “if you vote for me, I’ll fix the problems that have been created by the politicians.”  Then they get sent to the State Capital or Washington, DC and immediately ignore what they said on the campaign trail.  It makes no difference to which party the politician belongs, they both lie to you.

My first foray into politics was when I worked to get Barry Goldwater elected in 1964.  He was running against a legendary liar named Lyndon Baines Johnson who promised not to send American sons and daughters to Southeast Asia to fight in a place called Viet Nam, all the while his administration was ramping up the numbers of troops there.  Goldwater’s main mistake was telling people that he would “bomb the North Vietnamese back to the Stone Age” which gave Johnson’s campaign all of the ammunition they needed to win the election.  And, immediately start sending Americans to die in a war that ultimately killed 53,000+ soldiers without a victory of any kind.

The last war that the American military actually won was World War II after that, we have had Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan and numerous small conflicts that wound up being “lost” by the same politicians that started them to distract from problems they have created here at home in the United States.

Whether You are a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, aren’t involved in politics at all, or are a member of a “fringe” group, it is up to You to keep after the politicians that are elected to remind them that they represent You, that no matter which party You belong to, You are a Constituent and your point of view deserves to be heard.

I have sent emails to local, and national, politicians with a point of view and been told that I am not a constituent.  That is so wrong!  When a politicians is elected to an office, whether local, state, or national, that person now represents all Americans, all Voters, all Citizens.  True, he/she may be from Colorado, Texas, Arizona, or another state, but if You as an American Citizen have a question to ask the Representative from Michigan about a bill before that person’s committee, then You have the Right to ask your question and You deserve an answer, not an email saying that the Representative does not represent You.

November 2012 is Your chance to take Your government back. 

November 2012 is Your chance to send a message that the politician works for You, not the other way around. 

November 2012 is most likely the Last Chance that You will have to tell the politicians and bureaucrats that the Declaration of Independence is the Vision Statement for the United States of America and the Constitution is the Operating Manual.

THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - The People against The Media

Opinion by Martin

One night I had a dream.  It was a dream about a powerful nation that had been conceived in Liberty and built on the ideal that, if a person worked hard enough, you could succeed.  Then I woke up.

I found that the dream was broken.  It was broken by Big Politics, Big Unions, and Big Businesses, but mainly by the greed of the government, at all levels, AND the “Establishment Media”.

During the first week of March we have seen an out of control government and media attempt to change the subject during an election year from Obama’s broken promises, lies, and leaping Socialism to contraception and “women’s rights”.

Through a staged event, a law student attending a Jesuit College stated that she was unable to afford her contraceptives which cost her in the neighborhood of $1,000 per year and this cost was impeding her sex life.  Since I have done a little research, it seems to me that she seems to be a little extravagant about the costs of her “fun and games”.

As a taxpayer, I do not feel that I should bear the cost of her choice of recreation, nor should a religious institution be required to foot the bill through their insurance coverage.  If I were in charge of that university, I would be considering whether or not I would be continuing any type of health care other than that which is recommended by third parties and would be up to the student and his/her parents to purchase.

The media has rather clumsily moved the subject from the corrupt, bankrupt, and dangerous policies of the Obama administration to one very small, insignificant question in the scheme of dismantling the United States of America and moving it into a socialist, if not communistic realm. 

The media has completely sold out any objectivity and placed itself squarely on the side of union thugs, criminal aliens, and the Democrat Party to trample on the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that they so righteously hold up when they are called on the carpet for their nefarious positions.

November 2012 is your chance to tell the Democrat Party and their allies in the unions and media that enough is enough.  This IS your chance to tell your Legislators at all levels that they work for you, that this Nation belongs to the People and not special interest groups who feel that you should support all of their dreams at the cost of yours.
