To return to something true; you have to have been there in the first place. It is highly possible that a whole generation living today never knew the true America. All they have seen in their lifetime is the sad and frightened ghost of her that sometimes wonders the land and pops up here and there; thinking that she will possibly live long enough to recover and become great again.
Some have never known her at all.
Just who is America anyway?
A person is made up of all of their years; and so is a country.
You can’t look out at America today and know all of her story.
Anyone seeking to really know her has to go back to how it all started; back to the original dreamers and, thinkers; and the brave world-changers who founded this country so very long ago.
It was into America’s soil that they all poured forth their dreams, thoughts and changes.
America was a child carefully planned.
Her birth was greatly anticipated with fanfare and great celebration, and the dreams, thoughts and world changes of most true patriots have not changed over the years.
Like a mother giving birth to her first child; the risks involved and the pain in attaining the state of life that resulted; seemed to be worth every effort that could be achieved to attain such.
Many were willing to take the risks of their life and well-being in hopes of achieving America.
Just once in a life-time this, now divided, but then whole, land came together in a very unique way in order to found a new nation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Can you think of a better combination?
Before coming to this new birth of this new land and making it official; our founders faced much of the same problems that we currently allow to exist in present-day America. They were running from many things that some are still to this day trying to either run away from or deliberately re-create.
As of now; America has lived way past the country’s teen-aged years, early adulthood and middle-age. We are approaching old age now.
Shouldn’t we be wiser at this point?
This is not the time to throw in the towel and say that our dreams, thoughts and changes didn’t work; because they do work; when we implement and follow them!
We simply need to look back and renew our minds with what those thoughts, dreams and changes really were all about. We can adjust for current developments, technology and new ideologies; but the basics we were founded upon still need to stay the same in order to give us our best country.
The problem is that many do not even know these basics anymore.
There is a reason for that too.
When America was a mere baby in the womb; it was actually born out of the circumstances of having faced wars, economic hardship, political discord and social disconnect. Also; so many of those movements and ideas that have resurrected today were the very things that America was choosing to walk away from.
These are things that thrive on fear. True Americans do not want to dwell in fear. They love peace and enjoy truth and harmony. The people want to know that they have choices and are free to make them and live them out.
So in our very beginning, a handful of brave men put aside their fears and brought about a nation that has been described as a nation sharing values of equal opportunity, faith, family, character, generosity, justice and perseverance. Yes, dear Millennials; this WAS the opinion of the world at one stage of our history; even until very recent times.
Why did you not know?
You were the first to not be taught.
We owe you an apology for this.
Perhaps things would have been different if your parents (my generation) had not dropped the ball. Our selfish distractions from your whole education and knowledge of our world views have cost us and you many privileges and opportunities for success and happiness. We DID teach you how to love and be kind; but we forgot to balance that with prudent wisdom, responsibility and truth.
I hate to be the one to tell you this; I know how very proud you are of that Ivy-League, college education; but most of your professors were planted as seeds of deception; way back in the days when my generation was off at Woodstock creating great music but destroying good brain cells.
The good news is that ignorance, even Ivy-League ignorance; can be cured with truth and past proved wisdom.
I regress; let’s get back to the founding of America.
One of the brave men that I mentioned above was George Washington; our first president. He had words for citizens living in the newly formed county that still resonate today. He advised us all to “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations and to cultivate peace and harmony with all.” It is time to listen to his words again and carve out the best approach for how we can go about doing this very thing.
May George Washington’s words echo through our hearts in the days to come as people prepare to side with one candidate or another in a hugely divided election.
Our founders thought that each citizen deserved the right to hear, speak and live out their beliefs. If the law came against this; they had a recourse to change things with their votes. This still works. Your vote speaks boldly of who you are as an American; and also of who you are as a citizen of The World as a whole; and even who you are in God’s Kingdom To Come.
Your vote is so much more powerful than you will ever know or realize; as long as our voting is done in a true and legal manner with no tampering from those who desire their own way over all and will risk all moral license to get it.
Never has this nation been so split; nor has there ever been so much distrust.
Also; never have we had so many reasons to get out and vote.
If you do decide to step up and be this brave; realize that all politicians are human beings. Don’t look at them or their personalities; but make a list of the things they voted for or supported. Compare it to their competition and decide based on what they have managed to accomplish in spite of their humanity.
May we prayerfully put aside our differences long enough to realize that whoever wins the election must lead our country into a new place; a place that looks back at our mighty past and gathers hope from those who have gone before us.
So many lessons of our great and prosperous history have been forgotten and buried or destroyed by present-day restless ideologists who can’t even clearly define their reasons for wanting a revolution.
It often appears that those who are demanding revolution are doing so in order to line their own pocket-books and or pervert their own power. They are using ignorant and impressionable minds to achieve this; because they know if they don’t they will always lose. Their own actions could come back years later to haunt them. Such selfishness takes us all the way back to the days before America ever came to be. Some of us have chosen to remember those days and the history surrounding them.
It reminds us of the greedy rulers we were trying to escape in our founding days. Their goals, much like the goals of those who rebel in America today, had everything to do with obtaining cold hard cash. Of course they would never say such words out loud or admit to such. It always has been the goal though; and most likely almost all political ambitions and aspirations will always be all about the money.
If you want to know the truth of a political situation just follow the trail of dollar signs. Be prepared to lose heroes and be disappointed in humanity as a whole. You might be truly shocked to find how many people will lie and coordinate their lies with those in power at the moment in order to line their pockets and satisfy their own materialistic and immoral needs.
How ironic that the most guilty will point their bony fingers at “capitalist” and act like they abhor them.
The pointing, accusing finger is a smokescreen for a whole different type of capitalism; a very evil and dishonest one that impersonates worthy causes and good ideas.
Do not be deceived by the smokescreens.
Except for the droves of ignorance from years where parents exercised their right for lack-of-teaching; those who have bought the packages of today’s politicians have not learned how to intellectually make a political decision based on truth and nothing else.
Day-after-day they continue to try to destroy our country and its very foundations. Why? It isn’t for the reasons stated; it is for their own profitability.
We have such a mixed society in America today.
Big Brother and Big Pharma play huge roles in our continuous culture shifts. They are the people behind the curtain making all the noise that controls the actions of the world around us. Planned Parenthood holds their hands and works quietly behind the scenes with them; because of their common goals; mostly power, control and profit.
The pharmaceuticals, many of the medical profession, many of the insurance world, the colleges that educate and train the professionals and researchers, and many organized charities that steal in the name of false causes are all holding hands together. They are playing that old game that children used to know called “Red-Rover, Red-Rover; why don’t you come over?”
Other countries have turned to socialized medicine and medical treatments. Why shouldn’t they? In actuality; they had no choice in the matter. These had nothing to lose and everything to gain. America was different. We had everything to lose and only trouble to gain.
That mess of the investors in huge drug firms, their satellites and partners and those indirectly involved in their profits is the main factor at stake here in this vast political divide; though many have not yet pulled back the curtain far enough to look and know. I’m constantly shocked at the vast level of ignorance.
If you can use the rules of socialism or Marxism to implement medical goals; you can remove God from a society; because both such government systems call for the ban of God as a part of government. If you can remove God you can eventually remove the definition of family as we know it today, and you will never have to worry about the religious right. They will lose their power.
So it is said. Perhaps our Mighty God will show up and show out. Perhaps He will decide in the end.
In the mean-time; when such chaos prevails it is much easier to manipulate society into ways that push profits into the desired directions; the direction of a hand-full of elite rulers who have become so rich they are afraid of life any other way. They are unwilling to risk losing control for the common good. They will always be manipulators and that manipulation will always be in their favor at any cost to society as a whole. These people actually put themselves in the place of God by removing God’s ways from current society in order to achieve their own goals.
They compare to King George as America was giving birth to a new nation.
This greedy, rich, manipulating lifestyle is so far from our founding; it is the polar opposite of how America started. How could it even be that we speak such things out-loud; much less feel like we are living through them today? The irony to our founding days is totally amazing.
Only a few years ago, Americans had the best medical care in the world.
The problems stemmed all the way back to the administration of then President Bill Clinton’s office. The Clinton’s invested heavily in this pharmaceutical and drug industry; probably hoping one day to control it and take it over through the guises of political actions.
That almost happened.
Eventually, Obama-care came along, evolved, and shook the universe and destroyed much that had taken the medical profession and good insurance companies’ years to develop. Other wealthy “leaders” saw the possibilities for profit and threw their powerful hats into the same ring with these other socialistic thinkers. The results are the mess we have today.
Nothing is better.
Everything is worse than before.
This simple money-making scheme is hiding behind almost all of the main problems of our country today. It even goes so far as to reach into how our food-chain is run; and what advice is spoon-fed to the public as authentic research in nutrition. There are diseases today that are wide-spread that have cures that would not be too expensive to administer; but those things would not benefit the industry and its investors; so they are not happening. For their pocketbooks maintaining the research is much better than finding the cure.
The other problems we face are simply pawns in the chess game of these powerful people. They take advantage of and use every available avenue. You won’t hear many speaking about it though; many who would cannot. They are dead and the evidence is everywhere you look.
No one is looking.
Fear is a very bad thing, and a terrible way to govern a country.
America was not founded on fear; but now some prominent citizens are trying to run the country by manipulating the fears of the masses. Marxist and socialists have contributed to this; and why not? It aids their causes. Create division and confusion and the people will settle for something other than what they would have originally chosen. We all have learned the steps of the game now.
Personally; I despise that wealthy individuals have enough power in this country to play games with my life and the lives of my loved ones.
You should feel the same.
We have a constitution that was well written; if we can get our courts to start enforcing our own laws again; we still have a leg to stand on.
At any rate; the selfish, greedy, manipulating, Marxist, socialist controllers who call themselves “progressive” have practically ruined what hard-working, excellent research and honest medical professionals and decent and honest insurance companies had previously held out to us in the past; the best of the best of the best; but it wasn’t to last because of greed.
These who pay for their manipulations of society are like spoiled babies, screaming and crying when they don’t get their way; and if it doesn’t happen their way, they will do whatever they can to destroy those who took a stand. Social injustices and divided political parties are how they have continued to create chaos in order to gain more and more control; giving Americans less and less of the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that were the original intentions of our countries founders.
Their theory is to get a soap-box that sounds like they really care; hook the unthinking mobs in and then pull out the rest of their cards and have their way with the world. That is the road they have paved for us so far.
Today, our citizens who do not do their homework look at the other people living on planet earth and see that they seem to have free healthcare. They do; but they have traded their own personal freedom for it. Why should we who have been capable in the past of obtaining and maintaining the best of the best while maintaining our freedom join in with them?
These citizens who can go to the doctor for free must work and follow the rules of their government in order to have this healthcare coverage. It really isn’t free at all. They no longer have a say in how things are run or how the money is distributed.
The wealthy elite who have invested in drug and pharmaceutical companies and big-time research projects just get richer and richer off of ignorance and lies, those that are fed and aided by Planned Parenthood for a hefty profit, are raking in more money than can be counted while the average citizens of socialistic and/or semi-socialistic countries slave away for a wage that only gives them shelter, food and water.
How long before some of those basics disappear too?
What good will it do for a commoner to have free healthcare in a system that allows no individual freedoms?
It is hard to say in such a greedy world. It wasn’t the world of liberty that brought this about; it was greedy, socialistic thinkers wanting to take power and control of those that they belittle by saying they aren’t intelligent enough to make their own decisions.
So; they self-righteously step in and make your decisions for you; even concerning whether you should live, die, give birth or maintain your God-given sexual gender. They can choose; not you; all because you have been bought and paid for in the name a utopia that could turn out to be hell itself.
America was founded with laws and rights to allow citizens to escape such things as too much government control over healthcare. The ignorant of America point their fingers at prosperous other industries and call them sinful capitalist companies; when these companies are furnishing fair working situations and good salaries that can help our citizens rise above the poverty level that is growing wider every day.
When their situation is better; all of these companies’ employees can opt to walk away at any point in time. They can sustain themselves in the meantime. There is hope in such situations; hope to leave poverty and oppression. Socialism and Marxism offer no such hope. Once the door closes; you no longer have any control over your own situation.
As for the healthcare industry as a whole; Obama care has cost these companies their profits and almost destroyed their ability to help their employees in the way that they were once accustomed to in the past.
My own physician just sent me a letter stating that she no longer desired to participate in the medical climate that she has to work in. This industry is pushing even more manipulations and controls because of COVID19. We are standing helplessly by and allowing this to happen to us; but we DO have an out – we can VOTE for a different way.
These pharmaceutical companies who have socialistic investors pulling their strings, along with other such wealthy investors and research companies who control healthcare and the insurance industry in America are raping our citizens of good health and grabbing lots of falsely-obtained money by constantly feeding them false information.
Like I said before; follow the money.
You can also listen to the commercials for new drugs. Have you heard how the deregulation of the drug companies allows cures that have side-effects that are worse than the diseases; some of them list “death” as a common side-effect. “I’m taking this pill to help my headache; but 8 out of 10 people taking it, though cured of their headache, experienced death. My doctor advised me to do this; so I’m going to risk it; I’m sure everything will be okay.” Poor helpless people who cannot reason beyond what their television screams out at them. This is so sad.
Society’s de-synthesized ears can’t hear these disclaimers anymore; they tune out the fine print at the bottom of the pages and just want a pill that they can take to cure something instantly. They want to believe the lies; because it is easier. So they swallow the lies at the risk of disease and death. How sad can we be?
But in the beginning; Americans were not this way. They were all about self-education and individual freedoms that carried the responsibilities of looking after themselves first; then reaching out to help those around them that are helpless and needy.
There was a time in America when charities were real.
They actually helped the cause of those seeking the charities instead of padding the pockets of their boards and executives and fund-raisers. Now when you give a dollar; you can actually count on one dime going toward the actual cause you gave it to.
Why have we turned away and allowed this to go on in about one million and one different ways?
No wonder people are discouraged, living in chaos and divided.
Where are those who are willing to take a stand for what is right; simply because it is right?
Our founders were all about bringing this to our form of governing. They were all about using the powers of government to enforce justice and to protect the citizens; and they were not about helping certain elite citizens grow wealthy for doing nothing but lip-service to the people they represent.
So; I guess we could begin to return to better roots by going back and looking at the first tree. The tree is still alive; though it is wounded. It is still growing. It needs to be nourished; and nourishing it means looking at the roots and observing the ways that cause the proper long-term growth that is needed for a country to stay healthy and free.
Let’s explore why America came to be.
Maybe we can see something of value; something that is missing from today; and find a way to return to that place.
To do this you must be honest and confront the realities of today’s “land of the free and home of the brave.”
That word “brave” is very important.
If you are brave enough to look at truth; I invite you to come along in this attempt to return To America by looking at her roots and going back to what we really need.
