Moral Decay

The study of history allows us to look back at past mistakes, whether it be our mistakes or those of others, and learn from those mistakes. It is a rather true saying that each generation thinks that it is smarter, more well equipped than the one that came before it, and in some ways that might be true. However, there is an exception to the rule and the Jewish people provide us a great example.

The lessons learned from the Holocaust have kept the Jewish people alert, each generation that passes reminds the next of what can happen if they do not remain vigilant. The average Christian in America would be well served to take notes from the Jewish people, especially concerning the attack on our morality.

When we take a look back at some of the most powerful nations in history, it is the degradation of morality that brought them to their demise. The Greeks were nothing more than a nation of idle talkers, their slothfulness and lack of productivity provided a perfect setting for a Roman takeover. The Romans eventually became a welfare state. The affluence of it's citizenry allowed them more free time and therefore their insatiable thirst for "entertainment," became unquenchable. One does not need to look far beyond the coliseums filled with barbarism to see an image of modern day America. The barbarians (Germans) were a very productive people, until they degraded into a nation of corruption, immorality and hatred. In all of the above instances the declines in morality and corruption were aided by a disrespect for God and his word.

Today in America, most of God's people have become so indulgent and comfortable that they no longer rely on the Lord. The simple truth of the matter is, most Christians in this country today, are neither hot nor cold, they are lukewarm. The current economic, political and moral problems facing America are a direct consequence of this same lukewarm attitude. Will we stand idly by while the moral fabric of our nation crumbles around us, .............will we be spewed out?

A careful view of society tells us that there are certain truths that are being violated, that there are certain morals that are not being upheld. Why is it that we remain silent, in light of these wrongs? Is it because we have been duped into believing that speaking out is not the "politically correct" thing to do? Is it because we have been told repeatedly that politics and religion do not mix? Is it because we have bought into the secular lie that our religious views are not to influence government? Or, is it because we just don't care?

Presently, in America we are witnessing the results of our inaction, the pestilence that has been delivered by our silence. We have sat idly by while "situational ethics," social justice and Darwinian evolution has been force fed to the innocent minds of our children. We have allowed the radicals and activist to mock our God, promote the slaughter of millions of unborn children without as much as a whimper. We have allowed perversions and immorality to be called "alternative" lifestyles without acknowledging them for what they really are, abominations! We turn a blind eye to social leeches that  suck the life blood out of  society, whatever happened to earning a living by the sweat of your brow!?

The problems that currently face this nation can be met with honest solutions, however those solutions are sadly enough, politically impossible. This can mainly be attributed to corruption, greed, societies relentless demand for more entitlements and politicians desire to secure votes by bribing us with those entitlements. The blame is almost always placed on the politicians and admittedly they carry a huge amount of the guilt, but realistically they are not the only ones to blame. The current problems facing this country can best be summarized as an external manifestation of our internal spiritual condition. Our apathy has us waiting on a political savior when in fact we, the people,  are the answer. If we do not take the initiative and begin this restoration on our own,  our republic, our heritage and the futures of our children will will suffer even more.

It is time for God fearing people to rise up and become the salt and light of our communities, it is time to take America back!

Duh! Which way did he go George?

The phrase "which way did he go George, " was made famous by a Tex Avery cartoon. The cartoon featured a less than intelligent, dimwitted and gullible dog named Willoughby. In the famous cartoon Willoughby is chasing a fox, unbeknown to Willoughby however the fox disguises himself as another dog, aptly named "George." The fox keeps giving Willoughby bad directions forcing him to run through a fence and over a cliff, Willoughby keeps coming back and asking the famous question, to which George sends him over the cliff time and time again. Eric Holder would like for us to think that he is Willoughby!

While testifying  before the House Judiciary Committee, the Attorney General was asked a rather simple question by Republican congressman Lamar Smith in regards to the perpetrators of the last three terrorist attacks on American soil.

“Do you feel these individuals…might have been incited to take the actions they did because of radical Islam?”

To which Holder replied  “ Because of…?” acting as if he failed to understand the question. Smith clarified the question again by stating "“Because of radical Islam.” Holder then morphed into Willoughby and replied “There are a variety of reasons people do these things.”

Following his failure to admit the obvious the Congressman rephrased and asked the question six (6) more times. Holder refused to acknowledge the obvious and literally feigned to not understand the question. "Look out Willoughby there's a cliff ahead!"

The fact that every major incident of terror that has occurred in the United States and around the world in recent years has been a product of radical Islam either failed to cross the mind of the Attorney General or he is about as clueless as our dimwitted Willoughby. I seriously doubt that the former or the latter is the correct answer. Instead, I propose that a politically correct agenda fostered by an Islamic sympathizing leadership and the lack of a backbone led Willougby......er .........the Attorney General to respond in the manner which he did.

In fact, now that I think about it, poor ol' Willoughby doesn't deserve to be thrown in the same category as the Attorney General on this one, ..............my apologies Willoughby!

After all, Willoughby wasn't pretending to be dumb, he was in fact a simple minded, albeit gullible dog. The Attorney General can act stupid if he wants to, but by not admitting the obvious he only draws attention to the absurdity that is the radical left.
