A Man Without a Country: Goodbye to my Beloved America

A friend sent me an email of scenes of Christmases of Yesteryears.  Picture after picture reminded me of my childhood, of my country and how gay we children were to be free to almost freeze in the snow.  White snow and sleds, and mittens, cold hands, cold feet, big smiles of glee and our faithful dog.  Snow skis to race down slopes barely of grade to move us forward, but did we care, not in the least.  Joy was ours, laughter was plenty, and we always had a warm mouth to poke our frozen fingers, who cared.  All we dreaded was a call from our mom ending our joy, our happy moments in the snow.

Often I picture those times at granddad’s, the farm animals in terror of these rowdy little humans with so much energy.  Why we had pigs to ride, calves to rope and snowmen to make, with chunks of black coal for eyes, carrots for noses and granddad’s pipe, if we could find it out of his own mouth.  The scarf so the snowman would not get chilled.  Then there were the goats to pull us around on the sleds, or our granddad’s friendly dog which seemed delighted to play with these strange little people.

The crackling logs in the big open fireplace that cooked us on one side and when we turned around would cook us on that side.  Vapor escaping as our clothes released the cold it had absorbed keeping our little bodies warm.  Warm hot chocolate grandmother would serve to each of us with a cookie or two.  Mothers who felt our forehead to see if we were sick, with our faces so red from the cold it would make a person wonder.  Sleep would come easy that night, laying deep within the walls of feather mattresses, homemade quilts just laying there covering the mattress as if we were not there.  The good night kiss and off we would go to a land never to return.

I almost had tears in my eyes finishing my memory trip using the pictures of the email as my guide.  I knew those days were gone, gone forever for this old man, but even sadder, gone for the kids of today.  Never to return on the wholesale broadness it once existed.  Where did it go, why did it go.  Why do I feel we have lost the best that ever was of my beloved America.   I was here all this time, seeing it happen not realizing what was happening was to be permanent.  I watched America become a country of conniving greedy people.  One half wanting to destroy all that is good in our country, the other to timid or kind to give it a true fight.

Perhaps it was better when I was a youth.  Our community helped each other out when troubles came.  The ‘Coloreds’ were helped just as quickly as the whites.  Sure we called them that or color folks when in a group, yes and sometimes ‘N’.   I know most of us did not mean any disrespect using that term.  It was difficult for me to become politically correct calling them black people.  With that name came an arrogance among the colored folks I had never experienced before.  Then came the welfare programs to buy their vote for the Democrats, I saw other changes in a once proud people.  They became slaves again to handouts.  Each program the Democrats voted in to give them more, the more they sold of themselves and now they as a culture are bankrupt, the sorriest of all races I know of, as a culture.  I am not trying to be ugly, I am sad the blacks are that way.  So many of them with the brain power equal to any.

They enslaved themselves to a political party by selling their rights to achieve for themselves.  Many take pride of generations of non-productive heritage, claiming the whites own them.  The Sharpton and Jackson types have filled them with hate and resentment toward a white people who none had anything to do with their original enslavement.  Yet, these types plant hate, and bitterness for their own pockets to be filled, not the ones who really need incentive, jobs, educations and freedom.  Now, even within the last months they have bought another line.  Thinking they have finally arrived with the election of a black person, they sold the last remnant of their culture.  They think they will walk the high road, but now they have no say so in their own destiny, for big government will tell them when and where.  They believed a lie, that the man who claimed to bring new changes would of course raise the fellow blacks standard of living.  That whites would have to share their wealth and all would have a level ground to play on.  Not so black folks, you have been raped again, by your own greed and ignorance.  Again, I am not trying to hurt you or slander you, I know from experience you are capable of great things.  As a culture you hold yourselves down.

You once had a great faith in the Living God, the son Jesus.  I have heard you pray as if God was your closest friend.  I have sang with you in praise of God and know your spirit was in tune with that of God.  You let the devils of this world as already mentioned, the real devil and his helpers lead you astray.  Church was fine for the women and children and a few old men, but the young bucks were too good to go to church, they had their own interest.  As a culture you seem to be preoccupied with sex, 24/7, at any moment a female happens by.  Rather then taking broom handles beating a little sense in their heads, you cover up his sinful nature.  You lie and cheat to protect his thievery, his promiscuous nature, and when Satan came strolling by with his new lie, in the form of religion, you are buying it hook, line and sinker.  Again you are selling your soul to a new master, named Islam.

Then there is the Hollywood crowd.  Once the base of actors and actresses who gave their time to support our nation, and her troops.  Now you disdain even the nature of our country so you and your perverted priorities are first and foremost in your desires to have it your way.  Nuevo Rich, without the experience and knowledge to handle the new found fame and riches.  You destroy your bodies thinking the world loves you and will always love you for your moment of fame, your moment of great achievement.  You lack depth, yet you spout off as if you had inside knowledge of what is good for all.  You are a disgrace to those whom you follow, the stars of not one great movie, but stars of many next to great movies.  They paid the price of their stardom, some with the deserved recognition you have received with one good odds down opportunity.  Your stardom is like a shadow playing on the wall without substance of its own, but for the moment, you lucked out.

Your maturity is lacking in the obvious destroyed choices you make in partners, in social lifestyles and God is sadly not in your picture.  You laugh when one of your own defies God or Jesus, it is a joke to you.  One day it will not be so funny as you face him to be judged by him.  You will sell your moment of fame to sponsor products you do not believe in, some harmful to others.   All for the money and exposure.  You will display your body trying to compete with your just as corrupt peers.  It is no longer special to you, nor to anyone for all have seen its early stages of decay as it begins to show marks, sags which no longer have appeal to the eye of admirers.  Your life is lived in the tabloids as if it is a daily dramatic soap opera, As Your World Churns.

You too sold your soul to a man without executive experience, thinking this would pay back a man whom you did not respect nor support.  Rather you will find that each moment you gave into the promises of change, that it would be you high rollers who will pay, it is your money he will use to share the wealth.  You have been deceived by a far greater actor than yourself, one driven by the forces of a narcissistic nature.  He played his pipes and you scurried afterwards like trapped rats on a sinking ship.  You supported a party whose only goal is to gain total control of the populace through big government.  If government is big enough to give you all you want, it is big enough to take all you have, to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson.  Thanks Hollywood for leading the path of a corrupt and depraved society.  What happened to the great epic’s of old which touched our souls?  Now replaced by hate, death, sex, perversion, distortion of truth and self serving just for a buck.  Is there nothing still sacred in your empty life?

Hispanics, on your backs we have exploited you and mistreated you shamefully.  Yet, you dream of living the life of freedom, of plenty, and to gain that right you steal from us.  You steal across our borders, and taking, when it more than likely possible you could have come as honorable people.  Our great neighbor of the south, you sneak in the night, and expect us to respect you.  You too are being bought, selling your souls to a group who are also corrupt.  They seek such power, what freedom you think you are gaining will be lost to the bigger than life government they envision.  The solution to all of our problems when they gain that power, but when they do, you and I will be their slave.  Then where will you go?  Back to Mexico for the same treatment you have received for three hundred years or more?  When will you see, even if you are illegal today, you could be legal tomorrow, will you still support the same corruption as you have lived under for all your life or will you finally see the light.  God and a free Christian nation are your only hope for the freedom you seek.  The spiritual life will come from God and the Christian nation will come from God if he so chooses but only if HIS people will turn from their wicked ways, seek him and he will heal our land.  You can do what has been suggested, you can infiltrate our land, settle in your old homeland of centuries ago, and take it back as America weakens.  What will you have, just an annexed Mexico, not a free Mexico.  You will still be in bondage.

And what of our universities, who allow professors to incite a people to work toward a foreign country annexing great land mass of the United States.  Professors who openly oppose our constitution, our nation as if they were of another country, being supportive of the cause of others in other parts of the world.  Should we not help then arrive safely upon those sacred shores they espouse?  Institutions of higher learning still teaching a theory which has never been proven in any way, yet it is used to defame the Holy Bible and its story of Creation.  You support in your hallowed walls scientist who spend careers in attempt to disprove the Holy Bible, God’s word, and they fail, each and every time.  You ignore all the proof of God’s existence for to do otherwise many would lose their jobs, their false education discipline.  If the earth is only 6000 + years old, why do we need anthropologists, and many of the mistaken geologists who are still claiming an earth billions of years old.  Where is your proof, while the facts contrary to your teachings of falsehoods are mounting daily.  Many of your peers have already gone over to the other side.  

When did sports become more important to an aggressive society than academics.  Schools of higher learning, graduating those with athletic prowess who still cannot read or speak an intelligent sentence correctly. Are these the heroes you present to the world  as your greatest achievement.  Where is the professor who inspires a young mind to reach beyond the stars with an idea that enriches mankind?  Why allow those who do not believe in God spout their sewerage into the faces of the innocent, some time not so innocent as if they had the last word upon the subject.

My country, America, as I knew her as a child, as I have loved her as an adult is dying, and while she hold on, she will never again be innocent.  Greed holds her in its grip, corruption dictates her path, the dollar buys position and politics no longer  represent the people.  Even the news media is trying its hand at playing God, that should be god.  Telling the populace what it want us to know, avoiding the truth, even inventing news, huh Mr. Rather.  ABC smirks at good people as they interview them, Newsweek lies or trashes the Bible to support the Gay position, NBC–I don’t need to throw trash at you, enough of others are, as well as yourself, then there is the CBS bunch so profoundly opinionated they dare not try to hid anymore.  They know they are guilty of presenting slanted news coverage or omitting the other opinion if it should give the President (Bush) some relief.  Drug companies earning billions on death and side effect while claiming, lying to the American public they are  close to a cure for Cancer and so many other diseases.  The bottom line is all that they are responsible for–Profit and dividends.  Tell the world the truth for once.  Tell them Cancer cures were found decades ago, but you do not make money with cures.  Tell them you know the cure for Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases were found in your labs years ago.  Tell them that no one need to suffer Type II diabetes, the cure or prevention has been there for a century.

What happened to our churches, who are now victims of social hate and distrust.  Christian churches allowing practicing sinners of perversion to play leadership roles.  Churches with their watered down sermon speeches, what happen to your fire.  What happened to your influence in your neighborhood and your state, and your nation.  Why has the Christian church fallen on bad time and let lifeless dogma theologies take your place.  Are you ready as representative of a Living, Vibrant God ready to throw your towel in because some dead god and its representative threaten you.  What happened to the God who consumed the sacrifice soggy from barrels of water.  Who parted the red sea to allow his people to walk to safety on dry ground.  Is Jesus no longer the path of your youth, has the world convinced you that the stories of old are no longer valid in modern times as the sinful believe.  Have you lost your salt, are your messages just feel good themes so no one walks with sore toes as they leave church.  What is different between a Christian girl wearing body exposing clothing from a girl of the night?  Are the parents no longer responsible for their own?  Has the church given over to the ungodly government the right of the church to see for the orphans and widows.  When did God abandon his word, claiming it null and void.  When did the clergy become cowards, fearful for their own lives over the life of the church being destroyed by lies, by government control, by political correctness.  If God be for you, who can stand against me.  

The church too has left my America, once a Christian nation, Under God, now a coward to stand up for the right of all.  Sure you pester clinic who kill babies, that is good.  Do you stand up against those who are your size–the politicians who support death.  Have you exposed them in the pulpit, and in the voting booth.  When you finally quit splitting over your worldly differences, all you will have is a greater number of churches, not more Christians.  We use to be and still should be a family, members of God’s family.  We hold on to our earthly fleshly family as if they are sacred, but Jesus admonished us to be willing to leave father and mother and anyone else who stood before God in our eyes.

America, I love, the America of my youth, how I will miss your going, how I am tormented that our youth will never know you.  Yet, there is hope.  God is on His Throne, he is still in control.  I pray for a great revival to sweep this nation, not to save it from its fall in history, but to give our people one last chance to experience what has always been the best of America, her God, the Living God and His son Jesus.  This is my prayer for you my country.
