Chaos part 2

To pick up where we left off last week;
FDR also gave us WW II. Once again, it was a war fought, at least in part, to fuel the economy and get the manufacturing plants up and running. This once again showed the American people how much big government could do for them. FDR was our only president that seemed to be elected for life. Had he lived longer, I feel that he could have been elected as many times as he chose. This was also something the founding would not have agreed with.

From the end of WW II until now, we have been on mostly an uphill climb, although there have been recessions, inflation, stagflation and other financial troubles. The stock market has had its ups and downs, but no major crash. The closest thing to a major crash was during the days following 9-11. There has been no major depression during this time either. The one thing that did happen was , the government got into our life more and more. During this time liberals in congress, (and some in the White House) have continued the giveaways. They have added to medicare, medicaid, welfare, foodstamps and many other programs. Just in the past couple of years they have added drug coverage to medicare. This should bankrupt the system even faster than before. All of these programs have made more and more people dependent on the federal government for their livelihood.

Also, during this time we have seen a dramatic increase in crime, drug usage, illegal immigrants, civil disorder, etc. Illegal immigration has become such a problem that it has become an invasion by a foireign country. We have seen the advent of political correctness, the rise of militias, (100% legal and required by the constitution but hated by our elected officials), rising patriotism and many more people distrusting and questioning our government. We have fought several wars that we were told were not wars. Starting with Korea, all of them have been unconstitutional as congress has never declared war. We have gone into Viet Nam, Panama, Haiti, Bosnia and are now on our second war against Iraq. This one, like Viet Nam is tearing the country apart. We have had a president who dodged the draft in the Viet Nam war. He wrote a letter stating his hatred and abhorrence of the military so he wouled not have to go. He then went to England and helped organize anti-war demonstrations. He went to the then USSR on the sly, for what reason, no one knows. He will not talk about that. Both he and his wife are known to embrace socialist, if not communist ideals. He was elected by less than half, (forty-three percent) of the popular vote. He felt that that was a mandate to invoke all types of gun control and terrorism laws on on this country. He used acts such as the Oklahoma City bombing as his reason. Now his wife is running for president. She feels that she is qualified just because she was first lady and hates everything America now stands for. While militas and patriot groups have never been proven to have had anything to do with these acts of terrorism, this is the reason given for the laws. Now we have an even worse situation with the Patriot Act. This makes terrorist out of almost anyone who disagrees with the presidents idea of homeland security. This one act has done more to strip us of our freedoms than anything since the founding of this country. Because the militas and many patriots do not trust the government, they are called radicals, kooks, terrorists and many other uncomplimentary names. While in the sixties, (and again now) most of the anti-war demonstrations, riots, bombings, etc. were led by the elite college students, today's patriots and militas are mostly average Americans. While it seems that it is alright for the elite student groups to break the law in their anti-war protests, it is not so for the poor average person who is patriotic and believe in the milita. This is just another way to drive a wedge between different classes of people.

Another thing being promoted by the liberals and their obedient establishment media is; racism. That is correct, I think they are promoting racism. They intentionally protray people such as Randy Weaver as racists, When in fact those kind of people are separtists. These people are no more racist than Louis Fahrakahn, who is a black separtist. The fact that some people of one race want to live seperate from other races is not racism. They may well believe that all races are equal in the eyes of the Lord, they just do not want to be exposed, (or have their children exposed) to the other race's culture. That is human nature, not racism.
