America was founded by men who sought refuge in order to celebrate their faith without being oppressed by the government. They sought to worship as their conscience directed, and in the span of 100 years brought about the beginnings of this great country. The laws that they drafted based on the Judeo-Christian teachings, and reflected in the Biblical laws of the Ten Commandments. The oaths and promises that facilitated the service of the people to the country were steeped in a promise to almighty God that the service would be honest and true and bear true faith and allegiance to that oath.

It is critical to say at this juncture that the statement that the Constitution lays out a clear separation between church and state is a pernicious lie bought into by those whose wisdom fails to reach beyond their eyes. The Constitution says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; “There is not one single word that says that official offices of government or the property thereto appertaining cannot be where a cross or a star of David is placed, nor a sculpture of the Ten Commandments. The separation of church and state comes from nothing less than those who fear the faith of God in others for it strengthens them and makes it difficult to inflict evil and corruption upon them.

As a nation since the founding and up until the last few decades the United States has lived in a state of grace empowered by the prayers and best hopes of her citizens and many who have benefited from her good works. In the course of that cycle of growth the United States became the preeminent charitable country and gave generously to the world of its wealth, its blood, and its treasure. No country in the world can say that on some level their existence is directly linked to that generosity and largess. The people of the US have not asked for anything in return and in spite having conquered a considerable portion of the world have never asked for reward but rather have rebuilt their enemies to where they were stronger and sounder than before the conflict ensued.

Now we find ourselves beset by those who decry any semblance of faith or religion in the public sector. They decry the Christian display, tear down the crosses, and sue in court to stop people from gathering in their own homes for prayer or religious meetings. A few people of questionable disposition and no faith in them at all have taken the country hostage. They challenge good works, stop religious groups from helping the poor, take away funding for charity because it offends them that any government money should find its way to charitable causes. Woe is us as a people for we have allowed ourselves to be separated from God by people who have no faith while we all the while claim faith.

And what is the reward of all this? We are failing as a country. The President and his Tzars proclaim from their positions of power that God is dead and that socialism is the answer. One man invokes the name of God while all the while trying to get the people to openly revolt. Without God we are lost and our country is in decline from which it may never recover. Our children suffer more for lack as we lose our ability to make better opportunity available for them. Our debt is crushing and the politicians are simply too corrupt on both sides to really do anything about it.

We need a prayer for salvation rising from the masses, calling on God to help us and give us the strength to redeem our faith, our selves, and our country. Without God America ceases to be and only bad things can follow her fall. So as you open your gifts on Christmas day remember that the greatest gift was given 2010 years ago, and that he came into this world so that “He who believeth in Him, though they were dead, yet would they have eternal life.”

When the 9/11 attack happened the country united behind President Bush in his strong response against the Islamic terrorists who committed the act. The Clinton administration had already declared Saddam Hussein a danger to the world and passed a resolution supporting regime change. George H. W. Bush had given his regime weapons of mass destruction to use against the Iranian troops he was fighting, and later he used poison gas, a chemical weapon against the northern Kurds killing men, women and children indiscriminately.  He has publicly stated the desire to procure nuclear weapons and had put over one million of his own people under the sand in mass political executions against a helpless people.

While the ties to Al Qaeda may have been tenuous, it was clear that the militancy in Iraq and her terrorist elements were aligned with the Islamic Jihad and had bad intentions toward America. Afghanistan had been an Al Qaeda hot bed where training camps and alliances with the Taliban allowed the terrorist element to flourish and gave all the necessary support that made 9/11 possible. In our own country democrats gave aid and comfort to the terrorist foe by obfuscating on issues like illegal immigration and diminishing the rule of law by litigating from the bench to castrate the system of laws which are required to protect the people and the sovereignty of any nation.

So in the true spirit of national legislative cowardice, as soon as the first shots were fired in Iraq and Afghanistan the democrats most liberal democrats started to rail against the war and find reasons to make it an evil endeavor that did not require such a response. They accused President Bush of being a liar and taking the country to war based on a lie. They obviously forgot that Clinton had already called for regime change, that they had agreed and passed the resolution, that the US had given Saddam Hussein the WMD’s that were the source of the threat, and that for many years and in spite of our threats Saddam had acted against the myriad of countries surrounding him with virtual impunity. The democrat party was demonstrating yet another pattern or political and national cowardice in the same spirit of Viet Nam. They complained about those who died and were wounded but never acknowledged that it was their political interference that caused a great deal of the problems the American serviceman endured.

Flash Forward to 2010:

The very people who were responsible for the 9/11 attacks are now treated by our government like a special class with consideration for their every need. Americans have been insulted by their representatives and members of government on a daily basis as they allow that very group of people cause inconvenience and downright pain for Americans while they arguably sit back and laugh at the way we’ve all been forced to jump through hoops for them.

Americans are now groped at airports by unskilled minimum wage troglodytes who not only get to make money to serve the Islamic inflicted punishments on the American travelling public, but they also get to a sexual thrill in sticking their hands down the pants of people who with exception of perhaps one individual out of 360 million has ever done anything to deserve it. Travelling by air is now a perversion while cargo and rail travel go on without any supervision or oversight at all. The cowardly politicians and civil servants have their noses stuck so far up the rear end of groups like CAIR, that if they make a sharp turn a broken nose will result.

It has ceased to be about protecting Americans or taking steps to insure the continuity of the American lifestyle. America has become a slave of China, Mexico and Islam and the cowards who lead us are closing down our options to the point where we may one day have to react and they will surely not survive to lead in the aftermath.

Mexico has command posts, observation posts, and sniper nests as much as 90 miles past the border between Mexico and America. Illegal’s get constitutional protections, social security services, discounted educational benefits, and often are able to get them with less trouble than Americans are forced to go through. The cowards who govern in this country have done more to serve those who destroy us than they do for the people of the United States. We as citizens must demand more, complain more, watch more, and hold these people to the levels of service they claim to give us but do not. We are victims of our own government, and our own President who has shown without a doubt that he hates America more and serves everyone else more. When 2012 arrives America will do well to send this liar and dishonest broker packing and look for someone who actually looks to serve the American people. If we do not demand to be the beneficiaries of our own government for a change the downfall and destruction of this great country is certainly inevitable.

You have to make the choice.

In the last several years two things have happened that have demonstrably changed the way America is perceived and the way our way of life is denigrated. We’ve had a Democrat dominated Congress and recently the Presidency which has been taken over by hard left Socialistic Progressives whose disdain for their own country has led them to treat it like the door mat on a messy day. Add to that a sycophantic press which has lost it’s ability to think independently and has become nothing more than the propaganda arm of the left. Between the two bodies they have been disrespectful and even out rightly defamatory of America and her people.

Consider that while Americans have been brow beaten into onerous searches and security measures that include being shown literally naked in a screening machine or succumbing to a pat down that is more like a grope fest, while CAIR has made it plain that Islamic women in full body gowns cannot be forced through the scanners and must not be touched except on the head and neck. What could you hide under such a flowing gown with room for an explosive vest if that was what they wanted to wear.

Consider a child who puts a flag on his bicycle to show his love and respect for his country, who is told by his school leadership that he must remove the flag because of racial considerations. Mexicans in the school district object to an American flying the American flag, in America. What an absurd and idiotic thing to even consider.

Consider the payments made by the Department of Justice to literally thousands of sanctuary cities who disregard the federal law regarding illegal aliens. The American government allows sniper nests and forward observation posts to be built and staffed by Mexican Drug Lords 90 miles north of the Mexican border without any attention to removing them at all. This is an overt act of war because armed Mexicans have invaded the United States and are in fact killing law enforcement and civilians at their whim. Rather they put up a sign warning Americans to stay off land that is part of their sovereign country.

If I continued this list I would spend the rest of my life at the keyboard and never publish a word. But here is my summary: America is getting punked out of her own home by anybody with a notion to push. Our politicians are gutless slugs who talk too much and do too little. Our President is a coward, a fool, and a liar who has done more to undermine this country and the respect she had gained over the last 250 than any enemy or individual we have faced. Personally I am proud to be an American but I am ashamed of my President and the current Congress. I can only hope the new Congress that takes office in 2011 will bring some pride back to this country and undo the damage that Liberals, Progressives, Statists, and Socialists have done to date.

Over the years American leadership has made a startling choice to obey laws they only choose to obey. Since Congress can arbitrarily exempt itself from having to be held to obedience of a law they disagree with, they can serve their own desire for power and wealth by ignoring immigration law and making public statements in support of violating the law and encouraging individuals to violate it and illegally cross into the United States. These they hope are potential voters as soon as they can make the case for amnesty.

The leaders of our country don’t care that these individuals are drug smugglers, human traffickers, or soldiers for the drug cartels setting up Observation Posts or sniper nests on American soil to wound or kill American citizens or law enforcement officers. Why, they openly threaten to do so and our government does nothing. The politicians don’t care about the women that become widows, or the children who become orphans. They don’t care about the rise of drug addiction in America or the rise in the crime rate. They don’t care that Arizona has the second highest number of international kidnappings in the world. Nor do they care about the fact that a foreign power has armed insurgents 90 miles deep into America’s sovereign territory and signs posted to warn Americans against travelling into American property occupied and controlled by narco-terrorists.

The leaders of our country have arbitrarily decided that there are some laws that should be enforced and others that should not. Well, under the equal justice clause in the Constitution, how can you enforce any laws if you don’t enforce them all? And if they are not reasonable laws why doesn’t the government act to repeal them so they would not have to make such an example of violating them? How does one make the decision which laws should be upheld and which should not? And if you think that this anarchistic mentality is limited to the people serving in Washington you couldn’t be more wrong. The city and state governments of the sovereign state of North Carolina list themselves openly as Sanctuary states which is an open admission that they are complicit and corrupt in this national tragedy which is showing itself to be more profitable to the rest of the world than it is to America.

At the end of the day there are three things you need to see in yourself when you look in the mirror;

1. That far from being the courageous and patriotic American you should be you’d rather sanction violating the law than changing it.

1. The reason these laws are being disobeyed and America and her citizens are being made to pay the price is that it is more likely that the politician you voted for was an expedient rather than a well vetted choice.

1. Once that politician gained office you simply let go of your responsibility and never held them to the standard of service that you should have and you let them do this to us collectively.

If you think it’s too far from you check into the status of your city or state and if you find that power and greed motivate the breaking of a law this important, it will probably justify the breaking of a lot more as well. Voting is a responsibility that goes with citizenship and holding your public servants to the legal standard is just common sense. What we have now is a brain dead America.

WAKE UP AND SAVE AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!!

Government leaders don’t even try to pretend that their system is intended to be for the benefit of society, because men, being frail and cowardly creatures, seek escape from the burdens of daily responsibility and are inwardly unable to face the truth. Leadership is aware of this fact and have only one aim, and that is to amass power. To them power is not a means, it is an end that is justified by the means. Power means having the ability to inflict unlimited pain and suffering on others to accomplish the desired end. For them it creates reality, and in so doing it creates truth. The position of the power elite can be said to be the extreme form of philosophical idealism, but it is more relevant to recognize that the concept of truth and reality are extreme forms of pragmatism by the people in which the truth becomes subordinate to the ruling elite. Truth is proven by the consensus of millions; so how can a minority of one be right?

So, one man in a hundred knows a fact to be true, but the other 99 are instructed by the ruling class that the fact is false and that they must accept that. That one man quickly becomes the crazy man in the room because a fact that he knows to be true is rejected by the masses and group think however erroneous prevails.

If one works for a big corporation which claims its product is better than all of their competitors, whether the claim is justified or not in terms of definable reality is irrelevant. What matters is that as long as one serves this particular corporation, the claim becomes operative truth, and we decline validation of an objectively valid truth. In fact, if one changes jobs and move over to a competitor, we accept the new truth that its products are best, and subjectively speaking, this new truth will be as true today as the old one was yesterday. Again the truth spoken by many overcomes the truth spoken by one, regardless of whether that truth is indeed the truth or not.

This is an age when there are endless amounts of information and access to it is truly ubiquitous. It is a mystery understanding why people are so ignorant or grievously uninformed. They are sheep who either cannot or will not think for themselves, or who simply don’t care. In a country with is the freest flow of information and freedom to be the most knowledgeable people in the world, the people of the United States are content to be used and manipulated because it’s easier than having to pursue the truth.

In a successful manipulation of the mind a person is no longer saying the opposite of what they think, but thinking the opposite of what is true. Thus, if they have surrendered their independence and integrity completely, if they experience themselves as a thing which belongs either to the state, the party, or the corporation, then two plus two are indeed five and they can feel free because there is no longer any awareness of the discrepancy between the truth and a lie. Specifically this applies to ideologies not dissimilar to the Inquisitors who tortured people in the name of their understanding of Christian love. They reject every principle for which their faith originally stood, and choose to do it for what they term the greater good of the people. Even though the content is reversed, the people still act out in the name of their faith.

We present our society as being one of free initiative, individualism, and idealism, when in reality these are merely words. We are a centralized managerial industrial society of an essentially bureaucratic nature, motivated by materialism. Yet there is a continuing adherence to spirituality by many, but rejected by a very hostile but minority opposition.

One can react in two ways. They can become more hopeless and resigned to their fate, or by feeling that there is still time and by responding with a greater clarity and courage. All negative Utopias make it appear that it is possible to dehumanize man completely and yet for life to go on. You may doubt the correctness of this and think that while it is possible to destroy the core of man, one would also be destroying the future of mankind. It is quite clear that even now it is necessary to sound alarms across the country and make people aware how dangerously close they are to destroying the foundations of their free society.

It becomes clear in the modern world that the problem comes not from the droning voice of a single entity bent on driving society into subservience and taking control of the world, but rather that there are so many vitriolic voices dividing the people into opposing groups, all of which have their own potential to divide and destroy the society. There are racial groups, religious groups, social groups, and political groups, each of which proposes a philosophy or psychology which they see as the only truth and which only serves to divide the people against each other. These groups in demonstrations have moved people to violence which has resulted in injury and death, property damage in the millions of dollars, and divisions between people which set neighbor against neighbor. In the end they have failed to produce any workable or positive solution that quiet discussion and common sense couldn’t have resolved better.

In the end it is clear that unless people choose a better way of dealing with each other and respecting a common view of society, anyone who is left in the room will in fact be the crazy man in the room when they are the only representation of common sense. It should be clear that everyone can represent their beliefs, their faiths, or their allegiances without being punished by those in society who don’t share their beliefs. There is a calamity that affects us all in that we will likely divide into factions and set against each other when the smarter path would be to unite and help each other survive. We have to make a choice and we have to have the courage to step up and do the right thing with respect to all people with whom we deal.

The very belated legacy media reports on the Black Panther intimidation story have overlooked one critical aspect. Concentration on the antics of the two Black Panthers at the polling station — whom careful examination shows to be officers of the New Black Panther army’s specialized “Midnight Slob” unit — has led to a failure to address the Justice Department’s response. Namely, the contention by former DoJ attorney J. Christian Adams that he was ordered “not to bring any other cases against blacks and other minorities.”

Irresponsible black leadership has made life difficult for blacks in general for decades. That’s the tradition that Holder is following. It is a foul, worthless tradition, a disservice to black Americans and the country as a whole. If Obama wanted to live up to his post-racial rhetoric, the best move he could make would be to publicly repudiate it through a thorough cleansing of his Justice Department. But I wouldn’t hold my breath.

There have always been a number of videos on the air and on the web, which feature members of the Tea Party movement juxtaposed by a preponderance of Black politicians, office holders, religious leaders, fringe and main stream racially centric groups. The Tea party message is unrelenting and unless the video is doctored there are members of every racial group participating in their protest. On the other side are fire and brimstone protestations of racism, maltreatment, and other allegations which have very few things in common with reality.  Since the election of the Post Racial President Barack Obama the racial atmosphere in the country has become absolutely toxic and there are many who fear that a race war is just on the horizon. It seems almost idiotic when you consider that the racial problems in fly over country versus those in Washington DC demonstrate more clearly than ever that there are more racists per capita in Washington than in any average city in the US. That does not include New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, and the like. It arose out of a voter intimidation case in Philadelphia in which two of the new Black Panthers could be seen in front of a voting location, one of which had a cudgel in his hand, in deliberate and ostentatious intimidation mode. In the face of direct and reliable testimony that they were shouting racial epithets, threatening white voters, and telling those who came by that they should “get used to being ruled by the black man.” It was tried and a guilty verdict delivered until a political appointee in the Holder Justice Department ordered it dropped. This once a whistle blower was only the beginning as the Holder/Obama justice department made any prosecution against blacks off limits and whites the only acceptable target.

Then there were videos of King Samir Shabazz making public statements about his hatred for white people and admonition to blacks to kill “crackers” (whites) and cracker babies. There were videos praising Osama Bin Laden and lauding his good works, calling the United States the real terrorist state. There were videos where they claim a need to arm themselves because the white man is armed.  Yet at the end of the day the NAACP has said nothing about the overt racist behavior of fellow blacks, whether it is the hatred, the intimidation or the need to arm. It is as though nothing ever happened in that regard and it is plainly hypocrisy and fraud on their part but apparently they are not smart enough to figure out that we already know.

And wouldn’t it be novel if the NAACP stepped up and admitted its relationships with the new Black Panthers and The Nation of Islam Church led by Louis Farrakhan? There are the preachers in the mold of Jeremiah Wright who advocate Black Nationalism that adherents feel whites can only be saved if they give everything they own to Blacks. These are the very words of Black Nationalist founder Marcus Garvey himself. All of these organizations have been nothing if not patently and transparently dishonest in the way they point fingers at others while going out of their way to hide their own culpability. It cites examples of racism they say were inflicted on black members of the House but cannot produce an iota of evidence to support the accusation. Cameras rolling from every conceivable angle, none of the spitting was captured on camera and not one recording of the perfidious “N” word anywhere. Andrew Brietbart even offered a $100,000.00 reward to anyone who could produce a recording or video of the event, but there were no takers.

And in the heart of our government people like Rep. Melvin L. Watt, Rep. Maxine Waters, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, Rep. John Lewis, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Rep. Jesse L. Jackson, Jr., Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (A Judge who was impeached and convicted of criminal actions), Rep. Chaka Fattah, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Rep. John Conyers, Jr., Rep. James E. Clyburn, Rep. Barbara Lee who far from working to ease racial tensions and do their utmost to promote a more respectful dialog, engage in overtly racist comments and promote what can only be described as acrimonious and bitter dialog that does more to alienate people than ameliorate them.

What is even more remarkable is that Barack Obama came into office at a time when Black people are suffering. Murder rates among blacks are skyrocketing. Out of wedlock birth rates are staggering. Black on Black crime rate is destroying their culture (a very rich and blessed culture), and the abuse of drugs and resulting death rates are having a devastating effect. But does Mr. Obama focus his attention on these problems and try to help ameliorate the devastating effect on their society? Not in any real and meaningful way. He would rather stoke the flames of intolerance and racism by playing the race card for his own political advantage. The examples of Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Shirley Sherrod are testament to his ignorance and self indulgence. He is a man who can only see his own gain and notoriety. The Emperor has no clothes at all.

But why are we surprised? We have seen the infamous Tawana Brawley hoax perpetrated by the Rev. Al Sharpton. His vitriol and over zealous attacking of white people by hoax and lie without proof or legal liability has led to the death of his targets. The Reverend Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow Push Coalition may be the ultimate source of reference on the art of racial blackmail and shakedowns. Like John Edwards who perfected certain lawsuit methodologies to the point where you simply have to set them in motion to get results, the Reverend Jackson has over the years bilked businesses of millions of dollars, much of which has supported a somewhat lavish lifestyle, an extra marital affair, and apparently an out of wedlock child with an employee.

These are people who preach to us and tell us we are evil and that we should give away all we’ve worked for without any consideration of what white society has worked for. The difference is they demand it without even understanding that half of the population of America never had any exposure or responsibility for the institution of slavery. My family didn’t immigrate unlit 1923 and I can honestly say that we have never demonstrated any racist behavior in succeeding generations. Let me further point out that the etymology of the word “slave” comes from the word “slav” (people of the Balkans) in 1250-1300 in medieval times. Races have been victimized by slavery since before Roman times when Christians were fed to wild beasts in the Coliseum. It is easy to accept that Blacks have suffered and that they deserve the same rights as everyone else, but to imply that they are somehow unique in their suffering is to do a profound disservice of the rest of humanity who have in some cases suffered much worse and used the experience to grow instead of hate.

Many of us remember the speech given by Reverend King in which he lifted his voice to create a vision of a future of equality for all races and a colorblind society that treated everyone with equal respect. It spoke to a need and responsibility of all people to work and act to bring into reality that unique and inspired vision. Yet 50 years later things are worse and the very people who stood by Dr. King’s side in Washington are some of the shrillest voices promoting racism. If Dr. King could see some of the behaviors and rhetoric of those who marched with him for the cause of civil rights, I believe he would be ashamed of them and feel they had done more to set back his work than advance it. He would see that his words had no affect on them and that their appearance may have been more about political expediency that true commitment to the cause.

Ms. Garrou has held the current seat in District 32 for the last 12 years and is seen as one of the major architects of the fiscal problems that plague North Carolina. Over the last ten years increases in spending have been four times greater than increases in population. This shows the clear willingness to spend without regard for fiscal responsibility. As a result taxes on every front across the state have been increased.  In the current session North Carolina was able to close much of their budget deficits only because of billions of dollars that were provided by the Federal government as part of their ill conceived stimulus package. Those funds however, will not be forthcoming next year and North Carolinians will be put in a difficult position as the State Legislature is forced to cut benefits and services to close a multi billion dollar budget gap. Once a resort state that provided a haven for businesses and tourists alike, North Carolina now has one of the highest sales taxes, unfriendly business taxes, and is losing people to neighboring states which have a much more friendly environment.

Nathan enters the race committed to bringing down the rate of unemployment in North Carolina and avoiding any repetition of the mistakes that have led to the current state of affairs. He wants to make sure that the state fosters an environment which attracts investment and promote job growth. Nathan has been clear that his goals if elected are to work diligently to reduce wasteful government spending. He is committed to reducing taxes so that business and industry will once again see North Carolina as a good place to locate their businesses. It is also important that government be limited to its constitutional size and responsibilities to ensure long term economic growth. As a member of the state Senate Nathan Jones will make the people of North Carolina and the proper conduct of their business and representation the business of his Senatorial Office.

The meeting was hosted by Nathan Jones, a candidate for the State Senate in District 32, and was addressed by Joyce Krawiec, the NC Grass Roots Coordinator for Freedom Works.  Nathan, who is the founder of this chapter of the NC Tea Party has made his commitment to the people to run for the State Senate and stand up for the people and his conservative values. Nathan has been a tireless advocate for Constitutional rights and for the rights of the people to be protected from government overreach and abuse. Joyce Krawiec is a lecturer and activist associated with the Freedom Works foundation. Founded in 1984, FreedomWorks is headquartered in Washington, DC, and has hundreds of thousands of grassroots volunteers nationwide. The organization is chaired by former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey.

Joyce spoke passionately on the need for citizens to become involved in the processes that supported elections and to stay in touch with their elected representatives after the fact to be sure that they were kept aware of the peoples voice from day to day. Her own visible passion and interest raised the same passions in her audience who were clearly energized and excited about the prospects of working toward initiating substantial change with the mid term election.

It is clear to all who attended this meeting and to many who will come to future meetings and make their voices heard, that the country needs its citizens to step up and save her from the governance under which she literally suffers now. America is indeed in trouble, and only the citizens who are the life blood of our great nation are empowered with the ability to make the changes necessary. The NC Tea Party shares the same values that Tea Parties across the country do. We join hands in the spiritual sense to put our arms around the country we love and bring her prosperity and promise back for generations yet to come.
