Then I come home from work and noticed that my son left this page open on the computer:

[b]Why Accept Tyranny and Ruin?[/b]

The article first talks about someone's concept of America split down the middle, where the red lives on one side and the blue on the other.

It goes on to say:

No sober-thinking person wants Americans to divorce -- to separate into permanent red and blue Americas -- and for more than the kids' sake.  Better to have an America united in liberty, prosperous through free enterprise, and safe from its enemies, domestic and foreign.

But that's not how the American left and its voters see the country; they have (in fact, have had since the early 20th century) a radically different vision for what America should be.  And what America should be has little to do with Washington, Jefferson, and Madison and more to do with Hegel, Marx, and the architects who birthed modern corporatist Europe.  Moreover, the American left -- typified by President Obama -- is dedicated to a diminution of the United States' power and role in the world.  Call it "America the Lesser."

The critical question becomes: if the left remains ascendant; if its principles and policies continue to be ratified by voters in elections to come; if it continues to degrade the culture and morals of society; if the noose is drawn ever tighter around the throats of the individual; if the engine of our prosperity is further hamstrung and plundered, when will conservative America shout, "Enough!"?  Why would right America "go gentle into that good night"?  Why would conservative America accept tyranny -- albeit a soft tyranny -- and ruin?  When is the tipping point reached?

The modern left has shed faith in God.  God -- who is foundational to our rights and being as a nation.  The left seeks, in fact, to infringe on the rights of churches and their agencies regarding the provision of contraceptive and abortion services.  That's a first step in subordinating religion to the state.  It has sought to drive and largely succeeded in driving out faith from the public square.  It pushes to impose a smothering political correctness -- a tyranny on expression and action.  It acts to hobble and punish enterprising and productive citizens and nurture government dependence.  It's debauching the nation's currency, plundering the treasury, and adding debt atop debt.

Original Message Everyone has there own interpretation of the following song.
I used to listen to it in the seventies whenever we traveled.

[link to www.youtube.com]

I listened to it again today only because I had a dream set in an apocalyptic world where my sons came up to me wearing survival gear, sporting backpacks and I asked them, "where are you going?".

They said, "we are going to look for America" and I found myself asking "where is America?"

As a Christian, I've always felt a detachment from this world as my hope and belief is in the new world to come.

But today I felt a deep sadness in my soul for America and its future generation.

It was quite disturbing.

America as we know it continues to slip away.

Division is destroying us.

The corrupt political system continues to take away our freedom.

Most American citizens have become complacent thus making it easier for the stage to be set for the grand takeover.

It appears that the ones who do fight for what they believe is right--are wrong.

Who do you think said the following words?

"What is that American promise? It's a promise that says each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives what we will, but that we also have obligations to treat each other with dignity and respect.

Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work."
That came from our President's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

And remember these words from the First Lady?

“Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

Well, I reply by saying

"For the first time in my adult life, I question whether I want to continue living in this country. I don't recognize it any longer. I have lost my hope for ever feeling any pride because of what it has become. I am concerned for our children's future and their safety. I am hurting. Where are you America?"

I know that I must continue to instill in my children the belief that America is still better than other countries but it is so hard to do when I'm having a hard time believing it myself.

Actually, I'm going to bed now, I'm weary.

Maybe I'll find America in my dreams.
