A Nation That Has Lost It’s Constitutional Mooring

When we took the principles of what this nation was founded out of the law and society and at the same time put the emphasis on the I and Me through the public education system it started the demise of America and as a result instead of having leaders like those of years ago, we have nothing but a bunch of hirelings. This is why I write quite often that only Christians need apply for public office and below is the reason why.

Only truly born-again Christians Need Apply

John 10:8-15 all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  In other words, if the nation was lead by God loving and obedient servants the Lord would see to it we have the protected liberty to accomplish whatever we want with his blessing and will lack nothing. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: This is exactly what we have in Washington today whether it is Democrat or Republican and we must face this truth. Granted the Democrats are much more power hungry and favor imposing laws on the citizenry to establish their irreversible grip on our lives through taxation and monetary policy. They know from Karl Marx and Lenin’s teaching the way to control a person is to control his/her pocketbook and that is what they are really all about, hence the stimulus money that is already going to such things unwed teen mothers that does nothing to stimulate the economy but only encourages more of the same and for the most part hasn’t been used to do what they claimed they were going to do, which is stimulate the economy. No they are holding it to buy the elections of 2010 and 2012. The money given to the failed banking institutions has not increase significantly the borrowing for small business to expand and grow in money and jobs. These banks invested so heavily in phony derivatives or toxic assets they are holding this money to just stay afloat and at the same time are still foolishly buying into Black and Scholes derivative theory and the senate passed mark to market law.  The only thing that has really grown in this economy is government in every facet you can imagine. Ron Paul is right when he tells us we have no business busy bodying in the affairs of states’ rights, other nations and allowing private for profit entities control the economic lives of citizens of the United States. The bible backs him up on this point. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. Ron Paul’s insistence that true fair trade must prevail is also covered in the bible. 2 Corinthians 8:14-15 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

If the Muslim wants to kill the Muslim or any other nation wants to destroy its neighbor it is not our business. As a matter of fact we should pull our troops out the 180 nations they are in or at least force those nations to foot the bill for their stay. History has shown us we are not much appreciated for the sacrifice of lives and money for our efforts. They threaten from time to time to dig up the graves of our servicemen for economic gain and take us before the WTO and World Court for trying to obtain fair trade policy and so on and so on. Even Canada has multi-billion trade deficit advantages over America and threatens us higher tariffs’ if we demand a more fair trade policy or demand Americans buy U.S. made products. This kind of thing wouldn’t happen on my watch or as them described above. For one thing I would demand these international globalist financiers return the money they are hording to the people of the nations by turning monetary policy back over the respective governments to eliminate or suppress the temptation of greed.   I would insist America return to the only viable way to grow an economy and that is through manufacturing, which at one time made up 78% of the GDP but is now 14% and insured a strong middle-class, which is the necessary glue to hold a republic together. I hope somebody with credibility and in a position of authority reads this and promotes it to get the word out for the sake of America. And never again allow the stock market to depart from its original design, which is to expand and grow employment opportunities. The only nations we should offer support are those that truly appreciate America and deal honestly with us.  I only know of one in the entire world and that is Israel and this president is fast turning his back on them despite what you heard him say to the Muslims. For example, he said America must not meddle in the affairs of other nations but let them decide their own destiny. At the same time, he is holding the gun to Israel’s head by using the atomically inclined radical Iran over their head for support.  He is demanding Israel give up land God gave Israel and half of Jerusalem, which is their eternal holy city and the only city God called his. Truth is folks, what he is doing is inviting the judgment of God on America.  This president should be seen for what he has demonstrated and that is a lot of double-speak from a double-minded man. He deceptively says one thing and does another. That defines a double-minded man/woman.  Let me make clear one thing, I am not trying to persuade or promote Ron Paul as a Christian or anything because I honestly don’t know if he is but whether he adopted these principles on his own or used the teaching from the word of God doesn’t matter. He is right on.

What happens when we seek God for leadership?

 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Current Leadership in Washington

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. This explains why our national security is weakened both economically and militarily. It is as if the current leadership in this country is in a state of suspended animation or they have so damaged their brain over the years with mind-altering drugs rationalization is impossibility. All they have is lust for power and not what is best for the citizenry of the United States of America. Isaiah 56:10-12 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, and loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

Prophetic Perspective

I personally believe America is one and the same as the “daughter of Babylon” described in Jeremiah 50 and 51. Whether you agree or disagree with this is irrelevant because there can be no denying the facts of our day line up with what is in these chapters of prophecy. I have looked and studied this prophecy for the end time very much and find what is in the scripture concerning this nation does not fit any other nation on planet earth like it does America. Although there are many things in these chapters that distinguish America from the rest of the world I will for the sake of space use only this one as it pertains to this article Jeremiah 50:43 the king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. Our president has spent most of his effort reaching out to the world by apologizing for being such an evil nation and I might add totally unjustifiably. This is the greatest show of weakness I have ever seen displayed by a president in my 61 years here on planet earth. Our military leadership to include the Secretary of Defense are fearful of stopping a potential nuclear armed radical government in Iran and Korea and won’t allow brave tiny little Israel to stop them but I believe Israel is going to attempt to stop Iran whether or not the communist in the White House allows them or not. It is all about survival for Israel. Although I am fast becoming as the doubting Thomas because I thought we were the big bad only superpower in the world but our leadership is sending the wrong message to a bunch of thugs that are determined to destroy America and Israel. With the president of the United States repeatedly running his own country down to the whole word and apologizing for not allowing the German language to be the dominant language of the French people let there be no doubt these reprobates in the world are detecting chinks or cracks in our armor and will exploit it at every opportunity. It is as president Reagan said the only thing these barbarians understand is force and the only compromising that would be allowed is to “trust but verify”, otherwise there will be no compromising. I am going to say it, if I was in the military today with the current leadership we in the defense department, the congress and the white house I would get out as quickly as possible. It is obvious they care more about what the world thinks of America than they do their own flesh and blood and will sacrifice them unnecessarily thinking that is more important to be loved by the world than to protect their own freedom fighters. Politics and pussyfooting in a war will get your rear-end handed to you. We must fight to win or not engage and if that means collateral damage so be it. It didn’t stop us in the two world wars and guess what we won but haven’t since because we were seeking to be loved by a world that is so envious of us they hate us. God has blessed this country richly but now that is not the case.

Languishing in our sorrows

The really sad part is we the people are sitting by and allowing it to happen. Let’s be honest for the Christian Obama’s performance should be taken as appalling. His popularity with what he has already done to destroy America should be zilch but currently if you believe the Rasmussen polls and they are considered to be one of the most accurate he is at 67% popularity. If I am the only one in America that is appalled by what this president and congress has done that in my view is destroying America then I am in my view the only patriot left. We should nationwide be getting out the recall petitions and firing these hirelings that didn’t even read what was in the stimulus and totally ignored the fact that over 90% of the American people said no to the stimulus. Hirelings that are ignoring the will of the people on gay marriage (house passed hate crimes bill and now in senate), abortion, immigration, second amendment, and these international treaties that are in effect surrendering our national sovereignty, nationalizing banks and companies and turning the radical unions loose, etc. The same unions by the way that supported sending jobs overseas via NAFTA and GAAT. I reckon we are afraid they will take our hand out of the cookie jar so we remain silent not realizing once they are in total control they are going to cut off our hands. We should demand the hirelings force Obama to prove something that the law requires before anyone can be president and that is he/she must be a natural born citizen. When the truth comes out if it ever does we will be ashamed for allowing this unqualified communist sympathizer to become president. He was never vetted as the law requires and every challenge has been met by activist judges or make law as you go judges thrown out without a hearing. God help us for we are as sheep without true shepherds and led by the blind leading the blind! To continue down the path we the people are heading is the worst thing we can do not only for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren.  Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Jump Back and Review

Unless we heed carefully the words of one of our great founding fathers we will soon be off the end of the slippery slope to oblivion. As they say the proof is in the pudding and sometimes the truth hurts but to deny it is foolish. 

In a study done by Dixie Lee Ray, he noted that throughout the history of great democratic nations, they endured about 200 years before their fall from power and subsequent disintegration. In every case there appears to be a clear-cut sequence of stages:

From bondage to spiritual faith.

From faith to great courage.

From courage to liberty.

From liberty to abundance.

From abundance to complacency.

From complacency to selfishness.

From selfishness to apathy.

From apathy to dependency.

And from dependency back again into bondage.

Do you see the United States somewhere in this sequence? Has our great country been so compromised and corrupted that we’re now willing to march in lock step to our doom in the footsteps of other fallen nations? A British historian Alexander Tyler once said, “ A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; they will only exist until the people find that they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and until the politicians find that they can distribute that money in order to buy votes and perpetuate themselves in power. Hence, democracies always collapse over weak fiscal policy to be followed by a dictatorship.

“A country which leads the world in homosexuality, promiscuity, pornography, divorce, abortion, violent crime, drug usage, alcoholism, and child abuse: a country which embraces its enemies (China through trade) while turning its back on its friends (Taiwan); and a country which turns its back on its spiritual, Christ-centered heritage while believing itself to still be the greatest – is ready for a major fall,” says Don McAlvany. It happened to Rome, Babylon, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and now America is on the verge of allowing it to happen.

The End Unless 

Patrick Henry said, "They tell us, Sir that we are weak -- unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means, which the God of nature hath placed, in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the Holy cause of Liberty, and in such a country as that which we posses, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battle for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ´´
