Thats right. You, me, our politicians/government, Christians/the church and any other religion that preaches do unto others................ And let us not forget any who profess to take a higher moral ground by claiming “atheism” if they have said they believe in America. Because they are lying.
A bold statement you say. Arrogance you say. I say the truth!
I have written some fairly long posts preceding this one. Not because I thought anyone would read them. They violate the bloggers rule by being to long and will not fit into the media's dumbing down of information into two minute sound bytes or 6th grade level local newspaper reporting. In these posts I have referenced information from a variety of sources so as not to be accused of bias. I did so only for the purpose of substantiating and laying the groundwork for the title of this post. The information I have linked to in the previous posts is minimal in comparison to what it is available should one wish to take the time to find it. And therein lies the problem. We talk so much shit we have come to believe our own lies. If you are not afraid to read further, conservative and/or liberal, and arrive at the conclusion I am full of shit, then fine. I Hope so. I fear not.
WE SAY WE ARE A NATION OF CHRISTIANS, FOUNDED ON CHRISTIAN PRIINCIPLES.
We fight about this constantly. We argue over where to place our crucifix's and nativity scenes. We argue over whose brand of “religion” is correct. Whose interpretation is right. We have confused evangelism with Dogma and trip over our righteousness.
We sue, we condemn, we contribute monies that makes it way to right wing organizations that support war and repressive regimes that engage in atrocities. We claim to be moral yet work for, or own, companies that rip people off and engage in the business of killing. We send missionaries to countries to spread the gospel while those in our own communities go hungry and suffer the ravages of an infinite variety of abuses. We go to Church on Sunday to pat ourselves on the back as we Judge ourselves superior to any who do not or can not believe as we think they should.
In short, we have betrayed the great commissions as sure as Judas betrayed Christ.
WE SAY WE BELEIVE IN FREEDOM.
As a Government we support and participate in torture and the overthrow of democratically elected governments for profit. We pass laws to infringe upon the rights of our own citizens and justify whatever we do with lies.
As a people? We allow it. In fact we support it by continuing to throw our hands up hands up in the air and dismissing the perversion of the foundation of this country with platitudes such as “the government is corrupt”, “thats politics”, “theres nothing we can do about it”, ad infinitum, forgetting that had our forefathers done the same we would still be under a kings rule.
We contribute to it by not only not demanding that our government reign in the multi-global corporations that base themselves in this country, but by participating through our purchase and use of goods and products made at the hands of slave labor and working for the companies that indulge in these practices because as bad as slave labor may be you can't pass up a bargain.
WE SAY WE BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH:
As long as it is Politically Correct and does not offend the sensibilities of those easily offended making them weaker in the process.
WE SAY THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS
If you lie, cheat, and steal you are held accountable, subject to suit for breech of contract, fine or loss of liberty. We allow those who govern us to do these things with impunity. We have looked the other way, as long as it did not interfere with what we are doing, for so long we are now powerless to stop it.
The word “We” apparently refers to a specific “we” which many of us have been disfranchised from and no longer are “WE” but a balkanized conglomeration of special interest groups interested only in getting our way.
WE SAY WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, THE ONES WHO DIE SO THAT WE MAY BE FREE
How many will stand at a soldiers funeral? I have seen people decline because of rain or cold never mind the soldiers duty to endure the elements for your freedom.
We have turned a blind eye to those who have neglected them and subjected them to disgrace and humiliation through lack of, or inadequate medical care. Through homelessness and drug addiction instead of marching on Washington and physically throwing the bums out.
WE CRY, WE WEEP, WE MOAN, WE SHOUT IN RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION OVER THE ABUSES OF POWER OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENT. WE GIVE TO CHARITIES TO HELP THE POOR WE HAVE EITHER HELPED TO CREATE OR TURNED A BLIND EYE AS OUR GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS REGIMES THAT OPPRESS THEM OR PURCHASE PRODUCTS FROM CORPORATIONS THAT EXPLOIT THEM SO THAT WE MIGHT GET A BETTER DEAL FROM WAL-MART!
The world no longer trust us. Many hate us. And our own arrogance is such that we wonder why. Are we so arrogant as to believe they do not recognize hypocrisy when they see it?
And in our self absorbed excuses for fearing to risk our comfort we have sacrificed the future of our children. In GOD WE TRUST my ass. It is the crumbling dollar earned on the backs of the poor and hoarded in the gated communities of the rich and the comforts it provides US in which we trust.
How many times have you heard somebody say in so many words I might stand up for right but can not afford it.
AND WHO IS TO BLAME?????
“DERIVING THEIR JUST POWERS FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED”
the Declaration of Independence
WE ARE! And every day we let the corrupt bastards stay in office without holding them accountable for the atrocities they inflict upon man and country we become more culpable. We dishonor the flag, the fourth of July, our soldiers, our honored contract with God and plaster weeping eagles on websites.
Our forefathers, the Founders of this country we profess to love, did leave us a blueprint as to how to raise America to it's intended and dreamt of GLORY.
It is not through the implementation of any Homeland Security Act. Homeland Security can only be achieved by Free and Brave American Individuals who understand that our forefathers meant it when they wrote the following and framed a constitution around it:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —“
From the AMERICAN Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776.

Now if you have not read the preceding posts, then you may not understand when I say the time has come to raise another Army to support and assist the Army we currently have. Not to take Iraq. But to take AMERICA back.
