In God We Do Not Trust???

If not Him, then Who??? . . . Big Brother?

This column presents a conservative viewpoint about items of interest in our community and our lives. Focus is on items impacting your pocket book, your personal freedoms, and your rights. I hope you will read the column regularly and it occasionally influences your opinions and actions. Now, on to the subject of the week:

The latest dollar coin which was recently minted cleverly omits the traditional phrase on American currency, “In God We Trust”. In protest, many citizens are refusing to accept the coin as change in their sales transactions.

During a recent speech delivered by our President during his trip to the Islamic dominated Mid East, he stated “In the United States we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation. Instead we consider ourselves to be a nation of citizens bound by common concepts.”

This is a far, far departure from the beliefs upon which our nation was founded over two hundred years ago. Our history began with the Pilgrims first settling here as they fled Europe in order to achieve religious freedoms. This progressed to the Revolutionary War and our Declaration of Independence from England. The founders of our nation wrote our wonderful Constitution, filling it with statements proclaiming the “God Given Rights of Man” They filled their statements and the air of their time with oratory proclaiming the importance of God, our Creator.

Today, the administration in power is being severely influenced by influential liberals imbedded in the anti-Christian, “Secular Progressive” movement. In the apparent philosophy of our new administration, where they have changed references to “terrorists” as “misdirected foreigners”, and have changed terrorists acts to “unfortunate incidents caused by misdirected foreigners”….I soon expect Washington to give instructions to staff and media to change the “Ten Commandments” to “Ten Rules of Appropriate Conduct”.

In this theme, these ordered changes in wordage might include:

1. Thou Shalt have no other Gods.
To be replaced with….
“Thou Shalt worship the icons of Rock, Rap, and Hollywood above all men.”

2. Thou Shalt not make unto thee any graven images.
To be replaced with....“Earrings, gold chains, baggy jeans, and tattoos are cool.”

3. Thou Shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain.

To be replaced with….
“God Damn the United States!”
(In the vernacular of Reverend Wright.)

4. Remember the Sabbath Day and Keep It Holy.

To be replaced with… “Be a ‘party animal’, It’s Saturday somewhere!”

5. Honor thy Father and thy Mother.
To be replaced with…..

“You should do what Papa and Mama says…if you happen to be one of those few who know who they both are!”

6. Thou shalt not kill.

To be replaced with....

“Doin’ drive-by’s and puttin’ out contracts start gang wars”

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
To be replaced with....

“If it feels good….Do It!”

8. Thou shalt not steal.

To be replaced with…

“Always scope out a mark first, and have a good pawn shop fence handy to handle thy goods”.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
To be replaced with…..

“Lie, lie, lie if it will save your butt.”

10. Thou shalt not covet your neighbors wife.

To be replaced with…..

“If you can’t love the one you love…love the one you’re with!”

What a wonderful society we are evolving into, with over 40% of our children born out of wedlock, the family structure being lost, men marrying men, babies being aborted every day, allowing our school systems to fail because of government regulation and social correctness, most of our politicians cheating on their taxes, the nation’s top executives stealing millions and taking people’s life savings, no one accepting personal responsibility for their condition or actions, everyone looking for a way for Big Brother to take care of them, government ignoring enforcement of immigration laws and allowing millions of illegal aliens to burden our society, millions of people taking a free ride from vote buying, government give-away social programs, governors selling political positions to the top bidders, ballots being carried around in the trunks of cars in case they are needed when the vote count is made, God being banned from our schools and public events, Christmas being changed to “Winter Holiday”, terrorists who kill thousands and knock down skyscrapers with airplanes being slapped on the hand and told to “stop that”, and our top officials touring around the world apologizing for how bad the United States has been.

I say it is time to stick our head out of a window and yell, “I’m tired of this bull crap and I am not going to take it any longer!!” Do this and you will be “Getting it Right”.

Rudiments: Odds and Ends Worth Mentioning –

● Our pretended quest for energy independence is still focused on playing political games instead of facing the reality of the situation. The programs being pushed are directed at repaying the liberal environmental, global warming supporters instead of attacking the problem. How many new nuclear power plants, Alaskan drilling programs, natural gas pipelines, oil shale mining programs, and new off shore leasing and exploration plans have you heard about? However, they do plan to enact a “cap and trade” emissions plan on coal fired power plants which will cause electric rates to go up for the poor consuming public. Just wait, when things are at their economic worse…the anti-American Sheiks of the Mid East will bring back gas prices of $4.00 and higher gas prices.

● Norman Thomas was a world recognized socialist, pacifist, and six time candidate for the office of U.S. President, running as the candidate for the Socialist Party of America. In one of his latter speeches he stated, “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will eventually adopt every fragment of the socialistic programs, until one day America will be a socialist nation.” How right he was!!

● Congratulations to all of you who took time to demonstrate your involvement at the “Tea Party” tax protest on April 15. Taking part in what is going on is “Getting It Right”.
