Not Guilty by Reason of Myth

I know all the returns are not in but I have heard enough to make me very sad.

I fear we have reached the zenith of our glory as a nation. If the Democrats win in 2008 there will be no doubt that this is true.

My remarks are not born of partisanship. They are born of the obscene spectacle of the Democrats prevailing by lying and name calling. A party without any platform whatsoever has prevailed on lies, criticism and hatred.

Christians and Jews should be shaking in their boots. If liberals have their way Israel will be sacrificed. If they have their way Iraq and the Iraqis will be sacrificed. The same thing that happened in Vietnam will happen in the Middle East and the honor of this country will again be besmirched by disloyalty to our friends and allies and cowardice. Ho Chi Minh himself said that the North Vietnamese lost the war on the battlefield but won it in America. I do not know how many millions of South Vietnamese and Cambodians were slaughtered after we withdrew. I remember, with horror, the movie, The Killing Fields.

Liberals started calling Bush names and his administration a failure early on and started calling the war in Iraq a failure as well. I'm sure you remember the intemperate language of the left. They called Bush a liar, a Nazi , stupid, a traitor and many other things and they called what has been the most successful war in the history of this country a failure. There has been a constant drumbeat of vicious baseless criticism ever since Bush was elected which has been all the more successful by reason of the willing complicity of the major media.

America has not only become godless as a nation but Christians and Jews who should be defending her and her heritage as a Christian nation have sat quivering in their churches after having been driven from the field of honor by the immoral and dishonorable.

America's first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay said, "It is the duty, as well as the privilege of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." It does not appear to me they we have done so. Many Christians and Jews had to vote for liberal candidates or they would not have won.

Although the Liberals do not have a plan for America, for the economy, or for fighting global terror they do stand for some things. Those things can all be listed under the heading of anti-Americanism and communism or, if you prefer, anti-Americanism and socialism. According to David Horowitz, today,s left is an uninterrupted continuation of communism. He posits that liberals believe in the twin illusions that capitalism is bad and therefore America is bad and that communism/socialism offers a more perfect world. Consequently, they are nihilistic. Of course, the evidence is completely to the contrary. I plan to write a piece on that in the future but suffice it to say, for the present, that communism/socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried including the Jamestown colony and the Plymouth colony when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Almost all of them starved to death at which point they abandon the "common kettle" and "the common condition." After that, they flourished. Capitalism was born along with this nation.

Under the rubric of the far left we find:

1. The abortion movement which they euphemistically refer to as a right to choose. No one can be a liberal and not support the, "woman's right to choose." This really means the right of a mother to kill her unborn baby. Millions have been killed and millions more will be. Christians should read Leviticus 20:1-5. God is talking about offering children alive to the pagan god Molech. He not only condemns those who do this but those who permit it to occur. We are they. The only difference is that in those days they did not know how to kill their children before they were actually born. In order to get the full flavor of the reason this is the same, one should read the Old Testament and see what the Hebrews were doing at the time. What they were doing was engaging in sexual immorality and, it produced unwanted children then as it does now so they offered them as sacrifices and killed them.

2. We will, in all probability, cut and run in Iraq abandoning the Iraqis to be slaughtered by Muslim terrorists and internecine warfare. This will also result in forfeiting the entire Middle East to the Islamofascists including, of course, Israel.

3. Islamofascists terrorists will be emboldened and there will be an increase in the number of attacks and in their violence. We will not be safe in our homes.

4. The Islamofascist terrorists at Guantánamo will probably be granted all the constitutional rights of American citizens, including due process. Most of them will be released to fight us another day because in order to try them we would have to compromise our intelligence operations. They would have the right to a speedy trial and we would not be able to try them because it would expose our own agents and our own intelligence apparatus.

5. Our government will not be permitted to listen in on conversations between terrorists abroad and citizens at home in order to thwart their plans.

6. Our government will not be permitted to data mine telephone records of suspected terrorists.

7. Our government will not be able to interrogate terrorist prisoners. Of course, we may ask them nicely to give us information and tell us their plans.

8. There will be no more judges like John Roberts and Samuel Alito appointed. Instead, we will get more liberal judges who will order state legislatures to enact legislation legitimizing gay marriage, declare unconstitutional legislation that bars partial-birth abortion (the murder of a child as it exits its mothers womb by either crushing its head or inserting a syringe in its head and sucking its brains out), declare it constitutional for government entities to take private property from one of our citizens and give it to another for private use (Kelo vs. City of New London), ban God or the mention of God everywhere and who knows what else.

9. The Bush tax cuts will be reversed and new taxes imposed on virtually everything and everyone. This will result in a recession or depression.

10. There will be new agencies created and an already huge federal bureaucracy will be even bigger and more unwieldy.

11. Our borders will be open. At least, they will be more open than they are now. The reason is quite simple. Illegal aliens can vote and they vote Democratic.

12. Any hope of getting voter identification cards or devising some other means to prevent bogus voting will be lost. The dead will continue to vote along with illegal aliens and they will vote Democratic.

13. Our military, which the left loathes, will be degraded.

14. Our already leaky intelligence agencies will not be simply leaking, they will have open faucets pouring out our secrets and military technology into the arms of our waiting enemies.

15. There will be endless committees and special prosecutors trying to impeach Bush or, at the very least, cripple him.

16. The environmentalists will further handicap commerce, especially the extractive industries. This will include not developing our oil reserves thereby making us more dependent on our enemies for energy and requiring us to import more raw materials, especially lumber even though we have more trees and forests in America than we had when this country was first discovered.

I'm sure everyone realizes I could go on and on and on but I will not. I will address what we need to do to save ourselves. The Liberals will never do it and, as far as I can see, conservatives would not either even if they were in charge. One of the reasons they lost is because they lacked the courage of their convictions (assuming they had convictions) and did not act.

We need to eliminate tenure and start firing teachers and college professors who use their classrooms to politically indoctrinate their students.

We need to mandate that every male take ROTC in college and serve at least two years in the military.

We need to term limit judges.

Perhaps, more importantly than anything, we need to teach American history every single semester or quarter to every single student every single year from kindergarten through high school and then require two years (12 units) in college in order for a student to get a degree. That history should be taught from textbooks written before 1950. Teachers and/or professors teaching the subject should be required to expose their students to contemporary views of the period written by people at the time of the events, not renditions of what occurred through the eyes of a spinner with an agenda.

Public prayer should be encouraged.

All of the legislation and court decisions banning Christian symbols and language in the public square and in our institutions should be reversed.

I'm sure all you can think of many other things that would be helpful but I'm sure you get the idea.

The World War II generation is almost gone and with them went to a large degree our honor, our godliness, our morality, and our courage. The only place I still see it is in the military.

We may, actually, be building up to another revolution and/or civil war in this country. I believe it was Jefferson who said that we should have a revolution every generation.

One of the things I've left out of my discussion is the tragedy of an educational system that ranks embarrassingly low in the world and is getting worse (http://kapio.kcc.hawaii.edu/upload/fullnews.php?id=52) and is producing college graduates who cannot even tell you who the vice president is. Along with eliminating tenure we should initiate a voucher system and parents could then take their children to and adults could enroll in educational institutions that actually offer an education.
