An Opinion

(Is the Muslim religion a threat to America?)

America is asleep at the wheel.  Have you ever been asleep at the wheel?  When did you wake up?  Were you alerted by the bumps along the edge of the road or did you only wake up when recovery was no longer possible?  If so, despite your foolishness, you survived but you risked your life and the lives of others.  Will this country, America, the country that each of us is blessed to inhabit, be so fortunate?  Please allow me to speak one opinion.

Our America will not survive the threat of radical Islam unless we wake up to the danger posed by this religion.  The threat is real, radical Islam is not a passing religious ideology to be managed until it loses influence in our world.  Radical Islam is a very old world order that has been fighting for world domination for 14 centuries.  The ideology will always remain in the hearts of it’s faithful, it will not modify the goal of world domination, it only adapts to current circumstances in the short term.  The goal is religious, it is social, it is ethical, it is militaristic and it is primarily about political control.

Radical Islam is not just another religion like all the others. This assumption is the primary reason for our lethargy, this religion preaches the control of every person and every facet of the lives of the living.  The concept of freedom, personal or corporate, is to be wiped from the dictionary and the daily lives of everyone in their expanding world order.  There is no freedom under radical Islam, it only makes exceptions for horny men and the religious elites.  Is this the new America that our political leaders, under President Obama, wish to bring upon the people?

If so, he and they are doing an excellent job of turning out the lights so the American public can remain in the dark and asleep.  The refusal of our president to call the threat by name, Radical Islam, is a case in point.  The argument made by politicians and Islam sympathizers is that we must protect the good Muslims. This is a noble goal but we must assume that there are few good Muslims because we don’t hear from them.  When these terrorist atrocities are perpetrated by Muslims believers, the so called good Muslims are either hiding or asleep like the rest of us.

There have been visible Muslim believers who have spoken up on certain occasions and who respect the notion of freedom for all, men like Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.  The regular Muslim community, however, is silent or asleep.  A few Muslim organizations seeking to change the religion do speak up but no Muslim religious leader has ever or will ever utter a single word against Radical Islam no matter how many people are slaughtered.

The question must also be asked, even in our drowsy state, why are the Mullahs silent?  Please, let me repeat the question, why are the Mullahs and the Mosques silent about their brothers who commit mass murder of those who cannot defend themselves and bomb airliners?  Most of us were taught at a very early age that 2 + 2 = 4, the answer to the question about the silence of the Mullahs is just as simple.

 

Could it be that the religion itself is inherently a terrorist organization that insists, one way or another, upon world domination?   Dah….

How Far !!!

Hillary Clinton has to win the presidency or go to jail.  Those are the only options in her future.  If she becomes president she will only be a mouthpiece for Obama who has control of the evidence that proves she mishandled secret documents.  This is the deal she is striking right now. 

That is not what we need, another Obama presidency in absentia.  The Obama remake of America can then continue but if the Republican candidate wins, it means prosecution and prison. 

Our America stinks, how can anyone vote for a Democrat?

Mom

Mom died Monday night.  The circumstances of this death are not what most needs to be told.  I am not glad that she is gone but this family drama has long needed to have a page turned.  Mom and Dad entered this world at the beginning of the last century, coming under the influence of a newly birthed Protestant denomination that, with other denominations, reacted against the closed religiosity of that day.  These new denominations emphasized the work of the Holy Spirit, bringing God down to men "to set the captives free” (Luke 4:18).  These new denominations gathered together into two movements or traditions, the holiness movement and the charismatic movement in America.

Mom and Dad lived the tenets of the holiness movement, a gathering of like believers that quickly was to become their first family.  The outer world was of little concern except as a field to be evangelized, this drama was to consume most of their energy.  Bob and Margie were very much a success among their greater family, Dad preached to the people from his heart and with a style that said my journey is your journey, this is the way to approach God.  Mom played the piano and sang the songs of the Hymnal like a soprano bird, her voice was not like all the others and carried an authority that was captivating.

They were a great ministry team for the church and the greater family, who praised and honored them their entire lives, including Mom’s 95 years on this earth.  This is and was, as it should be for they were blessed and were a blessing to thousands of people through their gifted ministry.

This also was not the entire story for they had another family, three sons.  The circumstances of one’s birth are as varied as the sands on the beach and the genes that combine to give every human being an individuality, a uniqueness, in the midst of challenge.  We all have our uniqueness as a gift from God and our challenges are just as much a gift from God but they leave us with the mostly unanswered “why” question.  Some of us appear “luckier” than others to be challenged by the lesser challenges which seem less of an influence.
 

The first son of Bob and Margie was challenged by a difficult birth blocking oxygen to the brain that proved to be debilitating throughout his 53 years on this planet.  Why were the second and third sons spared such a fate?  The answer of course, in a limited sense, is that we were not spared and that like all persons under the sun, the challenges are only different.
 

There is an old saying with some truth to give us, it says, “don’t speak ill of the dead”.  If the   speaking is done from a selfish bitter place, silence should rule the day but covering up the truth of a life lived robs the next generations of learning lessons, both positive and the negative life priorities of their ancestors.  As best as I understand my motivation it is to bring truth to the discussion of my departed parents.
 

It must be said that whatever liabilities they tolerated in their own lives, each liability was probably learned from their own parents and the circumstances of their own birth.  Also, my words are mine alone and no other family member should be held accountable for them, only me, the infamous second son.

This label is well deserved for my history is replete with doing the wrong things, at the wrong times, for the wrong reasons.  This propensity will probably remain a part of my life, even in these twilight years.  However, it has taken a life time to come to grips with where this all began.  While living it I had no clue.  The short answer is that I wanted and needed to be valued in the eyes of my father, to sit at the dinner table to talk and eat, to hear him ask, how did school go today?  One time, just once I would want to have heard him ask, what do you think about this or that, son?  You know, that small talk that says we’re in this together.  It never happened.
         

Being the silent compliant son did not get the attention of either of my parents so I became the rebellious black sheep of the family, messing up every real opportunity that happened my way. Looking back, this too was a failure for it produced not a single word of response, reproach or anything from my parents.  In my mind I can hear them bemoaning their son, “what he needs, only God can give.  When and if he gets saved and sanctified, then we will have our son.”  No, Mom and Dad, you needed to have had at least a friendly relationship with your children.  Your emotional life and relationships were all about the mission field but I do not remember you ever praying with your own children.  Something was amiss.
 

I like to think that this part of my heritage was not passed on to my children but it was the mother of our children who refused to let me be detached.  Zac and Kristin were both adopted and each struggled in their own way to know of their birth parents and each has wonderfully made that connection.  Not knowing was the issue, they considered that the “worst”.  I would like to respectfully disagree, the worst is knowing and being ignored for some greater good, that is the “worst”, to be ignored.

Thank you, blog, for giving me the opportunity to get this off my chest and turn the page, finally, hopefully, maybe.  Enough said.

Heeding the Way of Allah

Well, Well, Well, the American Muslim community has a voice after all.  They are upset and scrambling to speak up on every talk show that will entertain their nonsensical honor.  It has taken the words of Republican presidential primary candidate Dr. Ben Carson to get their attention.  Were they upset as their Muslim brothers were chopping off the heads of Christians?  Were they upset when their Muslim brothers dug tunnels into Israel to kill the innocent?  Were they upset when their Muslim brothers planted road bombs in Iraq that killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers?  Were they upset when their Muslim brothers flew passenger loaded airliners into the World Trade Center buildings killing over three thousand Americans?  Were they upset when their Muslim brother, Army Major Nidal Hasan, a highly educated psychiatrist, killed 13 and wounded over 30 of his defenseless Army brothers while yelling Allahu Akbar (Arabic for God is greater than any earthly authority)?

No they were not upset, the silence of the American Muslim community in the midst of these tragedies was, in every instance, deafening.  They were and are guilty of a blind allegiance to a perverted representation of God, the murderous Allah who breeds killers to further world domination.  They have feigned loyalty to America to wait patiently, infiltrating the political process, certain that someday soon, Allah will bring Muslim political dominance to America and a Muslim majority can institute Sharia Law which will make religion a perpetual president.  This is the plan, a plan that has been repeated successfully hundreds of times over the last 1400 years of human history.  There is no plan “B” in the Muslim playbook. 

So what did Dr. Carson say that has finally upset the American Muslim community?  Dr. Carson rightly questioned the fitness of a Muslim believer to be the President of the United States.  Why does this note of caution so upset the American Muslim leadership?  You got it, it is a hindrance to the Muslim plan to capture America, without a Muslim president there will be no executive orders from a dictatorial oval office.  Orders that will trash the American Constitution by instituting a system of Laws that are beyond questioning by any human being.  Without a Muslim president, the Muslim capture of America will be slowed to a crawl but Allah will ever be waiting to make the kill.  The fury of the American Muslim community is perfectly understandable if rightly understood.

 

America, listen and heed what is not said, more than what is said!

Hoping into the election of 2016

The political beat goes on and on to consume the energy of the voters and the primary candidates for president.  The beat is like a large bass drum carried at the back of a marching band.  The constant beat is about distracting every interested voter from the core issue of this election.  Every new news cycle gives us another marginal story that dominates the political conversation.  These stories or trumped up controversies only feed the next news cycle so that no one can talk about the elephant in the room.

While we are distracted with the latest political tid bit, the silent elephant in the room is the influence of the almighty dollar in our politics.  Them that have the dollars get taken care of by our politicians regardless of the cost to those folk who are less fortunate.  It is why the large corporations, the banks and the Wall Street entities get bailed out financially by the taxpayer, it is why the economy is so narrowly defined only by the success of the stock market.  Jobs, good jobs are not the priority of our politicians, they don’t care about the people because they are about cashing in.  Our country is in crisis mode and we the voters are stupid to let the politicians and their deep pocketed donors get away with their distraction games.

The long term cure is publicly funded national elections, every candidate would have equal funding and, therefore, they would have to live close to the people.  The short term cure is to somehow force our candidates to talk about their funding and to whom they are indebted.  The silent ones are in the bag to the almighty dollar and will never stand up for the people regardless of their blather.  There are only two politicians speaking for the people, Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race and Donald Trump, the lone voice for the people among the many Republican candidates.  Both of these candidates have their weaknesses but more importantly they are both speaking to our America as it now is.

Income inequality is a nation disgrace, the middle class is shrinking, education is about jobs and political indoctrination, American upward mobility has been severely damaged and the income gap is only getting worse.  Our politicians open our borders to everyone, further depressing wages for the working class and burdening the taxpayer with long term payouts.  The government will soon be the only employer.  Meanwhile our politicians make bad trade deals that are unfair to the American jobless, trade deals written to please their large corporate and stock market masters.  Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are the only candidates to mention these evil deals and their impact on the people who have only one hope, the election of 2016 to modify the trend.

     

One might ask, why are the rest of the politicians silent?  Why does the media not ask our politicians to declare themselves?  Why are the politicians and all the media content to distract us with the little things?

 

It’s the elephant in the room, stupid!

Whoa, Mr. Trump?

Please explain yourself, are you pro-life or not?  Your conservative competitors accuse you of being a loose cannon whose public policies shift like the sands of the Sahara Desert.  Your latest comments in regards to Planned Parenthood may prove their point.

 The government must take care of the women, really, what does that mean?

Planned parenthood does a lot of good for women, really, what does that mean?

There is only one way for this pro-life conservative to abandon your cheering section and that is for you to abandon the pro-life message.  We all applaud your stand against illegal immigration and our politicians who give away American jobs to other countries to please the big business lobby.  These are issues of great importance to the little people of America who have been left behind by the status quo politician.  The little people are the politically powerless and they are us.  We had been the historical American majority but are now ignored by Washington.  No one had spoken for us until you lit the fires of hope within our ranks.

Your sincerity about the life issue, however, is a potential deal breaker.  Some of us speak for the 40 million littlest people aborted and ignored by the body politic in the last half century as well as the estimated million plus deaths each year.   This is and has been the American holocaust. Planned Parenthood is the chief national exterminator of these unborn human beings, each of whom had the right to life given to them by God.  Do you also speak for these little people, Mr. Trump?

It is our hope that you do so speak, Mr. Trump.  The only women who will be offended are the guilty.  As for me, I would rather be pennyless and ignored than to join in the carnage.

Trump to the Rescue

Mr. Trump has ignited the hopes of the little people, he understands the anger among us because the political class takes campaign money from the Wall Street and the big business types to send our jobs elsewhere with lousy trade deals.  The Republicans joined O’bama just a few weeks ago to do just that.  Then the business types and the Chamber of Commerce buy influence to leave the borders open so that illegal aliens can take the jobs of Americans citizens who, understandably, will not work for less than what welfare will pay. Cheap labor is the evil in both cases and government picks up the tab.

The little people are not stupid, this evil is destroying our country and the Democrats and the Republicans are chopping off our heads, those of our children and their children.  Every Republican standing at the debate, except Mr. Trump, can’t speak against this evil because they have been bought.  Some of them speak about bringing manufacturing back to American but it can’t be done unless every trade deal is renegotiated, no one suggested that solution.

That is where Mr. Trump comes to the fore, he is not beholding to the business class or the political class and can confront those countries who are ripping us off.  The rest of them may be slicker politicians and better debaters but he can not and will not be bought.  The evil ones are scared and that makes Mr. Trump a target and Fox News did their best to embarrass Mr. Trump because they are sympathetic to the business class.

The little people do not care if Mr. Trump is a short term conservative, divorced, filed bankruptcy or has made a few chauvinistic jokes in his life.  At least he hasn’t used a 20 years old intern on her knees in the oval office to do the deed as did president Clinton.  Tell me, who is the woman hater?
