TOLERANCE AND APATHY ARE THE LAST VIRTUES OF A DYING SOCIETY (Aristotle)

Sometime between the years 384BC and 322BC, Aristotle wrote the title to this Post. Aristotle, was a student of Plato, who was a student of Socrates. These men contemplated ideas and thoughts long before their time. Aristotle was a teacher to Alexander the Great. When one reads the works of these three ancient philosophers, one begins to realize that they were divinely inspired. There are so many works and people whose thoughts were most certainly divinely inspired, that you can not name them all. Just a few, would be the authors of the Holy Bible, and the men who drafted and finalized our own Declaration of Independence, and then the Constitution of the United States of America. Our Constitution was written by the founding fathers of this great nation, to protect the people from oppressive and tyrannical governance. The administration we have now, as with many other administrations past, have been chipping away at that original document, until it is no longer recognizable. "We The People", are equally to blame for the impending demise of this country as the politicians are. "We The People", have been standing idly by while Washington, D.C. has eroded the very words of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We have in fact allowed ourselves so many entitlements, that now we can't afford to pay for them. We have been tolerating representatives that lie, cheat, and steal from us. We have stood by tolerating the removal of our Creator from most aspects of this, our modern "progressive" society. Now finally, the American people are standing up, and saying "enough is enough!!!" I say "enough is too much!!!" We, as a people, as a society, no longer have the time for tolerance, nor can we afford to be apathetic. This is it, my fellow citizens, the end of the line is very near. "THE PRICE OF APATHY TOWARDS PUBLIC AFFAIRS, IS TO BE RULED BY EVIL MEN" We as patriots, as taxpayers have reached a point where we either demand good, and honest behavior from our elected representatives, or we must vote them out, and not vote any more of them in!!! We must demand the highest integrity from our leaders. The days of voting for the lesser of two evils, are past. We can't afford that luxury anymore. Our elected leaders, from President on down to the Mayors, and Councilmen of the smallest of town, must be held accountable to the people. It is time to put political correctness aside, and call a spade a spade. If there is something that needs to be called to the attention of the people, it must be done immediately, not put on a shelf for later, those shelves are already full. It's time "We The People" stand up for our God, our principles, and do what is morally right. Political correctness is wrong in every form, it infringes on our rights to free speech. Jacques Barzum once wrote: " Political Correctness does not legislate tolerance, it only organizes hatred."

INSIDE THE TROJAN HORSE, IS ISLAM!!!

There is no doubt that the so-called Muslim Religion aka. Islam, is in the Trojan Horse, and it is being dragged through the gates of our Great Nation by Progressive/Liberal Politically Correct left wing pacifists, even as we speak. I don't know if these people are blinded, or are taken up into their own ideology that all peoples and religions are equal and harmless. I have a very difficult time understanding the tolerance mode they are in, and expect us as American Christians to endorse. Here is a quote from Yunis al-Astal, a leading Muslim Cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian Parliament, declared on Al-Aqsa TV. " The capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital (Rome), will soon be conquered by Islam. Rome will become an advance post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in it's entirety, and then will turn to the Americas." Is this that peaceful and glorious religion that Barack Obama continues to exhort? It doesn't sound very peaceful to me.

There was an article written about "Hate Crimes against Muslims" in the United Kingdom. What a pathetic and mis-leading term they are using. I do not see these actions by the English so much as Hate Crimes, but more likely self defense against an enemy of the people of the U.K. The leaders in London, have been forcing the British to tolerate, and bear with the Muslims as they assimilate them into British Society. I think the English people are experiencing an awakening, they are fighting back against the Nation of Islam. Islam has infiltrated England at the invitation of the British Parliament. Perhaps, the Parliament should have attained the permission of the people prior to inviting Islam to take over their country. This awakening in the U.K., needs to be taken as a serious warning to the United States. Islam is infiltrating this country as well, make no mistake about it. At the invitation of leaders like our president, with his apology speeches to all of Islam. Obama has opened the gates, and our citizens are being forced to drag the Trojan Horse in amongst us. Our security, and our safety is being seriously jeopardised by the Political Correctness our government insists we accept and endorse.

Islam, is not peaceful, it does not want to assimilate into our culture, the U.K. is a perfect example, I urge you all to read up on the effects that Islam is having in England, and the rest of Europe for that matter. We need to put up our guard as never before. Look around, read the news. We have a President that claims to be Christian, but calls the book of Islam the Holy Qu'ran, he never refers to the Bible as the Holy Bible. Our president and his administration extends protections of our Constitution to combat criminals and terrorists, by giving them the same rights as American Citizens. Then, on the other hand, the president shreds the Constitution, by sidestepping the will of the American people, at every turn. The enemy is among us. If it doesn't make sense to you, it's because you are not intent on destroying America. Barack Obama is!!! He doesn't like Capitalism, he doesn't like Christians. He and his Progressives are fundamentally changing the United States, as promised. Islam sees this happening, and they are on the move in America. We can not allow them the same foot hold as they have in England or Europe. I do not advocate violence, except in self defense, but sometimes the only good defense is a strong offense. American citizens need to prepare for battle, right here on our soil. Your local elections are right now the best way. Ask those running for office if they are pro Islam infiltration. Check them out. We must elect officials that meet Christian and Constitutional criteria, anti-abortion, anti-big government, anti-special rights for illegal aliens, and I can not stress this enough, they must be anti-Islam. REMEMBER, Islam declared war on us, not the other way around!!! Also, remember that Islam is not just a religion, it is a culture. Islam is intent on world domination. It must be stopped before it is too late, and your children are bowing to Allah. Don't think it can happen here? Better think again.

Mary, Mary, Mary!!!

I just listened to Mary Landrieu's pathetic explanation as to why she accepted the White House bribe for her vote on, well, everything she'll be voting on forever, now. She had a letter blown up, to show the signatures of all the people she feels should share the blame for the bribe acceptance. I guess I understand, there are always more people involved, and if she feels she shouldn't shoulder 100% of the responsibility, then, sure, why not divulge the rest of the names involved. In my opinion, that's the first glimmer of transparency I've seen so far from anyone in this administration and it's Senate, or House.

Bottom line, her little explanation pretty much turned into an admission of guilt. The bribe was offered, and she accepted. Whether she accepted on behalf of her constituents, or to save her own job, is completely irrelevant. She accepted a bribe for her vote, period. Proving that she wasn't the only one to blame for her decision will not get her a reprieve from the voters, either democrat or republican, or independent. A bribe is a bribe, it stinks no matter who is responsible for offering, and or accepting. The American people are waking up, they want to see honesty, and integrity revived in Washington, D.C.. Accepting bribes and payoffs in exchange for votes does NOT show that we are any closer to achieving the honesty goal. It appears that our legislator's in D.C. just can not, and or will not tell the truth. They need to be ousted. Our only, perhaps our last chance at attaining a modicum of integrity will be this November, and, that may be too late.

So whether you call it the Louisiana Purchase, the Corn Husker Kick Back, or just plain graft and bribery, it's not acceptable, it's not right, and those who offer the bribes, from Obama on down to those who accept the bribes, need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Whoaaaaaa! What, No Nathan Hale, No Christmas?

Some important information for all of us to keep our eyes on. This March, the Texas State Board of Education will be deciding what history books will be used nation wide. The reason these people in Texas will be deciding on what our children will be taught in history and social studies classes for the next several years, is a matter of volume and economics. California and Texas have the largest school systems in America, and they purchase the most text books, so basically, what Texas or California buys, the nation follows suit. This year, California is a bankrupt state, they, as a state will not be purchasing new text books for quite some time. The decision is now on the shoulders of eight (8) members of the Texas State Board of Education. What they decide is critical to what your children and or grand children will learn about America in the coming years. We need to pay very close attention to this meeting of the TSBOE. Here are a few suggestions that have come forward regarding content in the new history, and social studies text books:

*Removing references to Daniel Boone, General George Patton, Nathan Hale, Columbus Day, and Christmas. So the cultural impact of hip hop music, ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, and the Hindu holiday of Diwali can be included.

* Replacing the term "American" with "Global Citizen"- stating that students need to be shaped "for responsible citizenship in a global society" without any mention of citizenship in American society. (What does that tell you? Sends up a red flag in my mind.)

Pray for our leaders, and our educators, that decisions will be made that honor our Lord, our Founding Fathers, and our Service men and women. Pray that the true history of our great nation is not erased from the minds of our children. Pray for the conversion of Islam.
