Once Apon A Time, In America...

Short of another Civil War, Americans have reached a point verging on the loss of their Constitutional freedoms as ever before. Americans are rapidly moving toward having their Bill of Rights annulled by a President intent on ruling as a despot, making them slaves of a regime that rules as he wishes, ignoring the Constitution and Congress. Why is this happening? A brief review of the means put forth in Saul Alinski’s “Rules for Radicals”, written by a “community organizer”, outlines what Obama is doing as he seeks to turn America into a socialist state. It is a process that progressives/liberals have been pursuing since early in the last century. 1) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people. 2) Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. 3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. 4) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. 5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income). 6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. 7) Religion – Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools. 8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor. Of all the troubling aspects of the Obama presidency, none is more dangerous than the President’s persistent pattern of lawlessness, his willingness to disregard the written law and instead enforce his own policies via executive fiat…the President’s taste for unilateral action to circumvent Congress should concern every citizen, regardless of party or ideology. Americans will soon have little recourse against a government intent on controlling every aspect of their lives, spying on them, and arresting them for criticizing it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." I belive that since the the begining of the 20th century, our government (in coalition with Big Corporations) has slowly and deliberately taken control of its citizens for the simple reason of greed and power. We have allowed ourselves to be slaves to the machine, instead of pursuing the American dream. Now, it's too late. In my opinion, there is no American dream. Only a fabled tale of long ago. "once apon a time,in America, you could make something of yourself and be succesfull. Then, certain people found out how they could rule the world. The end. Is this how the American story of freedom ends for us? How did we go from a nation of rebels, euntrapanuers, and builders- to a nation of selfish,brainwashed,lazy people? Are we at the point of no return? I'll tell you right now, that if we the people continue to allow our government and big buisness to dictate and control our every move, then everything that our fore-fathers fought and died for will have been for nothing! Now if you are one of those that are ok with that, whatever. I, for one am not! Let's be the greatest nation again people! Merry Christmas!
