I weep for my country

I am struggling with great sadness as I watch the seeming destruction of of this great country. There have been many times in the history of the United States where we have faced great dangers. Great men and women stood up and fought for what they knew was right. Again and again this country survived and grew ever stronger. A time of great prosperity and strength came and the people of America have become the most productive and prosperous in the history of the world. So what has happened.
There is a disease that has struck at the very foundation of our society. That disease is a combination of liberalism, secularism, and atheism. Evil men (and yes, I do believe that they are evil men) have listened to that great destroyer and deceiver Satan. They don't recognize who leads them, they don't even acknowledge his existence. But that doesn't change the fact that they are his servants and they do his work. He doesn't need them to know that he leads them, he just needs them to do his work of destroying this great nation.
The enemy is no longer at the gate, he is inside the gate. In fact he is in charge of the place. There are good people who are also working to save this country, but those who are blinded by power and money and fame who fall all too willingly into the grasp of evil.
I feel like the last 6 months has seen such a drastic change in the government and their policies that I don't know how much more we can take before the very fabric of our society is shredded beyond repair. The economy was in bad shape, but not insolvable. Now we are hearing things like 'unsustainable' and 'trillion dollar deficit'. The world is turning against the dollar and the productivity of the country is diving. And the horrible policies and practices that brought this about are being increased. Tax, tax, tax. Liberals see only one solution to everything. TAX. Taking more and more money out of the hands of the people who earn it and using it for power grabs and vote getting.
Pushing a great fraud onto the citizens of this country is one of the lowest things that a political group can do. The global warming hoax is being used to grab for more money and power. The cap and trade bill is a huge attempt to force the American people down a path they would never choose willingly. Cap and Trade would give more money and more power to the liberal elite in this country and raise the prices of pretty much everything! More money squeezed from the people and for what? Cap and Trade isn't designed to reduce greenhouse gasses, even if they were a danger to this world. The whole thing is nonsense. When you have people telling you that 'the science is settled' and 'all scientists agree', you can pretty much count on the fact that they are hiding things from you. But they aren't hiding it very well. There are thousands of scientists and experts who are trying to get word out that global warming is a natural process that man cannot change to any appreciable degree. They are up against a media that refuses to publish anything that will go against their own chosen agenda. But the truth is out there and we have to keep fighting for it to get out to the citizens of this country.
Now we are facing one of the greatest threats to our prosperity and well being. Nationalized health care. If the goal of the left is just to see that everyone gets good health care then they are going about it in a very poor fashion. Why would they make it illegal to move to another private insurance after you change jobs and lose your insurance from that job? Why are they trying to force everyone into government insurance? It's obvious. They want to control the people. They want the control of the huge amount of money it would entail. This is very frightening. I want everyone to have good health care also. I believe that their are problems with the industry and there needs to be a lot of work done, but this plan is totally the wrong path. Can't they see what has happened in country after country that has tried to use government health care or socialized medicine. It has NEVER succeeded. It is a disaster and there is much suffering and much lost time and work, as people struggle to get the care they need. Many have died waiting for the care they need. But it provides great power to a few people at the top. That is the draw.
I am so worried. I don't know if we can recover from this disastrous presidency of Barrack Obama and the reign of the Democrats in both houses of congress. But each citizen that cares must stand up and be heard. We must educate ourselves and others. We must speak out and vote and most of all we must pray. God expects us to do all we can do and then turn to him and ask his help. It is my hope and prayer that we will be worthy of his protection and help. It is my prayer that this country will survive. But for now, I weep for the state of the country at this time.
