MEMORIAL DAY

A DAY TO GIVE THANKS TO THE MEN AND WOMAN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES AND LIMBS FOR US.

AMERICA IS SELF DESTRUCTING FROM WITHIN!!!!!

This is just the latest expressed insanity of the “Ward-Churchill brand of indoctrination” plaguing Colorado and other states. The leftist-indoctrinators (AKA “educators” or “teachers”) are no longer relegated to college campuses but, are now inculcating our children at the high school and even middle and grammar school levels with their brand of communist appeasement propaganda. On the flip side, we’ve already seen, in myriad ACLU lawsuits, that teaching from a US patriotic standpoint or (horror of horrors!) even deigning to bring up the concept of Intelligent Design (in “polite conversation”) is forbidden.

A stern warning to parents: If you do not become immediately involved in what is occurring with the education of you children, there will soon be another generation of adults who have both no concept as to what America is really about and will practice anarchy against the US. These kids are also being raised to fight everything America stands for and to offer up no resistance, whatsoever, to the enemies of our country. In fact, these “teachers” are programming their students to believe that the enemies of the US are their “friends” and that the US, itself, is the enemy. Is this what you want? If not, GET INVOLVED! Tell those who allow these contemptible behaviors to continue that they are not only unacceptable but, that you will refuse to send your children to school unless the indoctrinators either stop their brainwashing or are removed from classrooms.

Premiere Nikita Khrushchev of the former Communist Soviet Socialist “Republic” said: “We will destroy you from within!” If parents do nothing, it will become a reality. And there is another enemy of freedom who is now saying much the same thing — radical Islam. If our children are being taught to believe that the barbarians are their friends, the kids will be easier for this enemy to destroy and, ultimately, result in a murdered or converted-to-Islam generation. Remember, your children are now being raised to embrace appeasement and hate their own country. If you don’t intercede — and now — this will be yours and our entire legacy.

The end of the US’ beliefs and way of life is closer than it has ever been. Parents’ immediate involvement and participation in their children’s education is essential

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

The Roman Empire was strong for a time. It was founded on geography, family values, military strength, and wise leadership. It flourished because of social, economic, political, military and religious strengths. However, when the very things that make a civilization flourish start to decline, the civilization will also lead to a downfall.
The first reason for the fall was economic decay. The rulers of Rome had expensive lifestyles. To aid their image, they needed money. They gained money through taxation on the poor. In response to the torment of tax collectors, the poor fled to barbaric lands. The poor made up a large percentage of the Roman population. Barbarians disrupted trade on the Mediterranean sea. Rome’s gold and silver were being drained into buying luxuries from China, India, and Arabia. The government decreased the silver content in money. The value of the money also decreased. Diocletion attempted to curb the inflation. He issued an edict that fixed maximum prices and wages throughout the Empire. It was an unrealistic and unenforceable idea which failed. The emperors still felt the tax issue needed to be addressed. They decided to make the hereditary class of tax collectors pay the difference. In other words, if a poor person could not pay their full share, the tax collector paid the rest. This concept wiped out a whole class of moderately wealthy people.

Later, slavery split communities. Rome believed the workers of society should not benefit from slavery. Slaves then had to reason to try hard or improve. Eastern slaves started doing technical work. Thus, all technical work was looked down upon. Labor was cheap and worthless. Upper-class Romans were content with what they had become. They felt no need to improve their inventions, they were content with slaves.

Another reason for the fall of Rome was political issues. Citizens no longer displayed patriotism, they were indifferent. Only the rich ran for office. Only the rich could run for office. It had become too expensive to hold office. The officers were forced to pay for publicengagements themselves. The wealthy men destroyed Greco-Roman civilization. The loss of Greco-Roman civilization led to the decline of classical civilization. The general pattern of the classical civilization was based upon slavery being at the root of society. The army had proven itself to produce many leaders. The army needed to be maintained. Again, taxes were forced mainly on the poor or made more people impoverished. Soon the Pax Augusta came. It brought prosperity, but failed to release new productive forces. It also didn’t contribute to industrialization. The whole political system was put on display when gladiator shows and public executions were held. They reaffirmed the moral order.

The third and final reason reason for the decline of Rome was religion. Rome religion deteriorated because of conflicts between Christianity and Pagan gods. Constantine recognized Christianity as a religion. Because of him Christians wouldn’t suffer persecutions for their beliefs. Rather ironically, later Christians would persecute Pagans. Nevertheless Pagans were afraid. They thought Roman gods would leave because of the Christians. For example, their environment could go into ruin. The Pagans killed Christians. After a time, both sides realized the other wasn’t trying to overthrow them. Constantine legalized Christianity. Later Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. The army didn’t like Christ. Romans didn’t like Christians saying that they protected Rome through prayer. Some soldiers gave up. Some Christians believed soldiers performed sacrilegious acts.

In conclusion, the Roman Empire declined based upon the same factors that had caused it to flourish. It fell because the social, economic, political, military, and religion strengths were no longer viable. The Roman Empire came gradually and fell gradually.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR??????

 I’m fed up with either party’s “bullshit

I can not make it anymore simple than that. I no longer can sit here, and let Democrats and Republicans whittle away our precious Constitution. As a patriot, I love my nation to much, to let it go four more years, or even four more minutes.

I don’t have all the answers. In fact, I honestly must admit, I only have a few. But I know this, all the tools we need, are right in the Constitution. We’ve allowed the government to do for us, and control our destiny. This needs to stop, right here, right now. Every social, religious, political, economic problem in America will never be solved by the government. It’s a very unique moment in world history. For the first time, a mighty nation will either save itself or be destroyed, and have it broadcast in real-time, around the globe.

I think we are, as a nation, fearful of looking outside our two party system. Democrats and Republicans have all the “experienced” candidates, and we must have them in office. Only they can run the world, because of their experience. This has become a dangerous circular thought process, wouldn’t you agree?

Well, it is not the job of the U.S. Government to run the world. Its not even their job to run America. Its our job. I know how that may sound in this small press release. Its true, and it is me looking at the big picture. Many people in this country have the qualities and patriotism to properly administrate a public office. Political experience has nothing to do with it.

I look at the hundreds of political parties in this country, and wonder why the presidential race is not far more inclusive. I have taken the time, and read through many of their platforms. Some are good, some I don’t agree with, but I respect all of them. The position of President is far too important, for it to go to one of two parties, every election cycle. The same holds true with our Congress. The elections should not always go to only the major parties.It takes maybe five minutes, to click around a political party’s website, thumb through their literature, and see if there are some ideas in there, that you want to see debated on a national level. There certainly is no shortage of information on all of America’s political parties. I really hope that all 200 million eligible voters will look at the 2008 presidential campaign from an open perspective. As a citizen, patriot and candidate, I am willing to hold up my end. I am willing to do my part of the hard work, to make sure I let all of you know, about my respect for the Constitution, and eliminating every part of the federal government, that falls outside the Constitution.

Every election cycle we get bogged down in clichéd politics and clichéd sound bites. I could, and am more than willing, to spend hours talking intelligently on any one issue.

It all starts with thoughtful discussion and debate. Communication, on genuine issues, leading to simple solutions. This is what will bring America back from the edge. More taxes, more laws and more politicians will NOT do a lick of good. I’ve spent 23 years, being an activist, always trying to help my nation.

Again, I say it, I don’t know all the answers.

I would encourage all of you, to realize that the individual can make the biggest difference, always. I hope scores more, of “average citizens” hear my call. I want to see a whole roster full of patriots and thinkers, run for office; at every level.

We are Americans. We can do anything.
