America’s Biggest Problems
Happy Easter Everyone

The
elitist establishment, (which includes most of the media and many politicians),
are telling us that America’s biggest problems are economic. Indeed, this belief is actually out front
and driving the eventual ruin of the Republican Party. It may be very easy to believe because,
let’s face it, our economic house does appear to be in ruins. Never mind that to the rest of the world we
appear to be the richest nation on earth, our economy is in shambles compared
to what it has been and could be again.
But
I would posit that our biggest problems have nothing to do with our
economy. It is merely an aggregate
irritation to its obvious wounds.
Believe
it or not, we are being judged by the world on one simple question: “How do you treat the weakest among
you?” That question is in quotes
because I heard it come out of the mouth of American novelist, Brad Thor. An interesting personality about whom I
could probably write a separate article, Mr. Thor is a member of the Heritage
Foundation think tank, among other groups of people trying to find solutions
for our biggest problems. That one
question should point the way to the answer for all of America’s problems.
In
defining “the weakest among us” and how we treat them, we will soon see that
the economy is not the cog in our wheel.
Then again, if you look at how our economic decisions are being handled
today, you will most definitely see that no concern is being shown for future
generations, or those, like myself, in our twilight years that have known a
better America.
If
that last statement gives you pause – good!
It is meant to do just that.
In
that “better America” morality was given a place at the table – morality with
specific rules and not man-made perceived rights. We had a clear idea of what made a strong family and a strong
community, and although the rules were broken occasionally, we were not so
confused that we had to codify the rule-breaking into law. Now, that is exactly what we are doing. The fine for breaking these immoral and
ungodly laws is a loss of our real rights, defined in our heritage, and the
insistence on solving everything with money.
Morality has lost its place at the table.
As
this Easter season should remind us all who profess the Christian faith,
whether the secularists or members of other theocratic organizations or
governments here and the world over like it or not, America was born a
Christian Nation. If our president and
other members of this government wish to deny this or continually cover it up,
they will do so at their own peril. I,
for one, am not at all afraid or ashamed to draw attention to the fact that my
Creator endowed me with the ONLY rights I possess; therefore He and only He may
take them from me.
That
and only that is the backbone of this country - not a self-serving, behemoth
government that wishes to subjugate us as it obfuscates our heritage and
brainwashes our children.
Christians
must cease to be cowards in the face of political correctness. We must own what we believe, and believe in
what we own. We must not allow our
country to become hamstrung by every immoral act the lowest common denominator
among us wish to make legal.
How
do we treat the weakest among us?
Currently, by telling them that they have no hope and no right to hope
that they matter. Currently, by telling
them that they need other people’s money, stolen by their government from those
that have, just to survive. Currently,
by telling them that morality is extracted from the equation of monetary value
instead of willing submission to a set of simple rules: do not murder, do not
steal, do not covet, do not lie, do not undermine marriage, remember your
Creator, and do not do anything to anyone that you would not want them to do to
you! The weakest among us would be the
greatest beneficiaries of all those rules.
You want a strong economy again and solutions for
America’s biggest problems? Stop
worshipping a government that does not resemble its original parent any
more. Cut its purse strings and make it
learn to survive as a leaner, more efficient protector of the people’s
will. Remind our so-called leaders that
they are not royalty and were never meant to be. This is a nation of individuals.
This is a nation of exceptionalism.
This is a Christian Nation.
Happy
Easter everyone!
