Of all the threats to America we dread and prepare for, the one we cannot effectively defend against is - the war from within. Most Americans are generally unaware of this attack upon the Constitutional Law and Rule of the land taking place at this very minute.

America suffered a war of principle with the Civil War, but survived and emerged stronger. Not only were our laws and articles of confederation more clearly defined by the brutal conflict, but we as a nation began to see the vision of our country more clear than ever.

We didn't always follow the legal and ethical guidelines set before us by the Constitution, but within our national conscious we always knew when we had overstepped the bounds of humanity and morality, and in time we allowed our national conscience to enact corrective measures - as our forefathers had the wisdom to provide for.

As a nation we were not afraid of submitting to change as a vehicle for progress, but apportioned its application carefully and sometimes - via a process that was oft times bloody and painfully slow. But in the end - we got there.

Most of all, however, we moved forward as one succeeding generational army of change, in step with our past and within the cloak of our constitutional teachings; that is - until now.

America is at present a divided nation of Liberal and Conservative followings: each determined to lead the nation from its viewpoint. But most importantly, there is the historically inactive silent majority, once referred to as the American Middle Class.

Caught like deer in the headlights as the politics of the young generation runs them over. For whatever reasons they fail to comprehend that they are - losing - to this oncoming slaughter orchestrated politically as - Change We Can Believe In.

Evolution of the Disunited States

Most of our problems as a nation stem from the fact that at its inception, political positions within the government were, for the most part, voluntary, temporary and low compensated posts. However, sometime after the end of the Civil War - they became fixed and highly lucrative positions. And to further complicate matters, Congress began its slow acceleration toward an unholy alliance with American industry.

In general, congress takes office by overwhelming force of campaign finance, its delegates maintain power and position by continued application of the same mechanics - industry campaign contributions.

Needless to point out, that resource would always overwhelm that of public contributions from the citizenry. As the old saying goes: "The Golden Rule is -those who have the gold make the rules."

Engineering Social Change

The French, and Russian Revolutions have taught us, even for the best and most just of reasons, change brought about quickly, does not always yield the best for a nation and its people. Such is the present case with the sudden and overwhelming ascendancy of the Liberal element of American politics.

For those naive souls who harbor any doubt of the drastic turn the American Morality ethic is about to take, the following editorial from a Florida newspaper should give fair warning:

Democrat Admits 'Hate Crime' Bill Will Protect 30 Sexual Orientations

May 20, 2009 – During floor debate on H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) admitted that this so-called “hate crimes” bill will protect - the 30 mostly bizarre sexual orientations listed by the American Psychiatric Association.

These 30 sexual orientations/paraphilias are among numerous listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) and in other psychiatric literature.

After ridiculing his Republican colleagues for proposing an amendment to exclude these 30 orientations from H.R. 1913, Hastings openly admitted that they would be included as protected federal categories under civil rights laws – and he approves of this coverage. In his own words before the Congressional Rules Committee, he stated:

"Mr. Speaker, this bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice, and to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability--or all of these philias and fetishes and isms that were put forward--need not live in fear because of who they are."

----------------------------------------------------------

In other words, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) groups are clearly upset about the aggressive opposition by Middle America to the passage of hate crime legislation, and the inclusion of - undefined “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” in the so-called hate crime bills, H.R. 1913 and S. 909.

The publication of the 30 Sexual Orientations listed by the American Psychiatric Association as Paraphilias, has the LGBT crowd going crazy. They’re scrambling to craft responses and muddy the waters over what is or is not a “sexual orientation.”

During the debate over passage of H.R. 1913, lesbian activist Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) was repeatedly asked by Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to define “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in the bill. She refused to do so. She refused because the LGBT crowd wants the flexibility to add whatever “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” they wish in the future. Their ever-expanding definitions will protect - a whole range of serious mental disorders in the future. for the power behind this massive attempt at Left wing social engineering is - politics.

That future, deliberately structured by the Neo Liberal Front, is the one that will be inhabited by your grandchildren. The grandchildren who may be sitting in a future elementary school classroom, being taught by a - cross-dressed transvestite.

What we are watching is the rapid destruction of our nation's age old moral stance via the - Politics of Psychological Socialism.

If we as a nation become involved in three wars in the Middle East, these forces will have the necessary diversion to install this radical social conversion in such a manner- that we may never be able to remove it.

Embracing the Philosophy of Perpetual War

It should be taken note that, as of this moment in time, the present government has absolutely no idea as to how to extract this country from two economically and socially ruinous wars - in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We entered into a 'war of choice' (Iraq), and are now mired down in a war we cannot win militarily (Afghanistan). We have squandered the life's blood of our youth on two foreign battlefields, as carelessly as we have their financial future with an out of control spending economy.

Still despite the obvious, there are many of the political Right that contend, even in the face of damning evidence to the contrary, that Bush's War in Iraq was necessary. As there are legions on the political Left who hold fast to the vision that President Obama, before the end of his first and last term, will remove all U.S. military personnel from harm's way in the Middle East Theater of war.

Laying the Groundwork for Violence
Thursday 07 May 2009

By Dahar Jamail - Truthout/Perspective

On May 5, the Iraqi military killed Basim Mohammed and detained his brother. Mohammed was a member of the Sahwa, the 100,000-strong Sunni militia composed mostly of former resistance fighters that the US created in order to use them to battle al-Qaeda in Iraq, as well as paying them off to draw down the number of attacks against occupation forces.

The Sahwa, who were supposed to be given government jobs either in security or in civil services, have been betrayed. Instead of being given the promised jobs, they have been consistently targeted by the Iraqi military, and at times the US military, which has left them vulnerable as well to attacks from al-Qaeda.

As a result, they are walking off their security jobs for lack of pay, and have largely ceased their military operations against al-Qaeda. The predictable result is what we have been witnessing over the last months - a slow but steady increase in the number of attacks against Iraqi and US forces and a dramatic rise in the spectacular car bomb attacks in largely Shia areas that kill scores at a time.

The obvious solution would be for the Obama administration to pressure its client government in Baghdad to fulfill promises to incorporate the Sahwa into its ranks, as well as applying pressure to Prime Minister Maliki to lay off targeting the Sahwa and its leadership.

For whatever reasons, President Obama has as yet to make any moves in this direction.

Going for Broke: the Af-Pak War is Expanding

Thursday 21 May 2009

By Tom Englehardt@Tom Dispatch.com

Yes, Stanley McChrystal is the general from the dark side (and proud of it). So the recent sacking of Afghan commander General David McKiernan after less than a year in the field and McChrystal's appointment as the man to run the Afghan War seems to signal that the Obama administration is going for broke. It's heading straight into what, in the Vietnam era, was known as "the big muddy."

What no one wants to address is that we are now unwilling participants in a state of never ending war. What will keep us there is the fear in the minds of those in control, be they Left or Right, that whoever leaves the field of battle to chaos will be admitting defeat. And, defeat has never won an election for candidate or party. The deciding factor will be one of - Partisan Politics.

Exit the Middle Class

Gone are the days of television's "Ozzie and Harriet", Donna Reed, "Father Knows Best", and Mayberry. If we are to salvage anything from our past, it will have to be the knowledge that it did so once exist.

The Middle Class have lost the right to own their homes, provide their children with an affordable higher education and credit at non usury rates.

These well remembered icons of Americana have been 'evicted' by the politically correct crowd, in collusion with a corrupt corporate America funded Congress, so as to build a new electorate beholding to the undeclared - Left/Right Fusion Party. Their new banner redefines the legend of Robin Hood: take from the Middle Class and give to the - New Welfare State.

Energized by the blind following of the younger generation that brought them to power, these people are boldly putting into place a system for the massive redistribution of American wealth.

They will also tell you who you are allowed to dislike or hate, if you are allowed these human traits, and they will tell you what is a perversion and what you are not allowed to refer to publicly as a perversion. Most importantly, they will educate your children to - think as they do.

And should the Middle East flare up into a three war parley, by the time we are finally out, the Left/Right Fusion Party will have successfully installed this new American State - and we will be powerless to do anything about it.

In a sense, it will be George Orwell's "1984", but not quite as he envisioned it.

We Are About To Change - Forever

Barack Obama is not the cause of our metamorphosis; he is more a symptom of it. Both he and his predecessor, George W. Bush, are the products of what can best be described as the - Messiah Demon.

We as a nation want simple solutions to and for problems that we, as a people, are part and parcel of the genesis of. We want government to do everything for us. We demand it raise our children, protect us from crime, provide us with medical care,

Both Barack Obama and George W. Bush came from - within us - as a people; we are as responsible for their ascendancy as Dr. Frankenstein was for the creation of his monster. And as has happened in many civilizations before, the monster has turned upon us. Now, we want to play victim to our own folly - the irresponsible misuse of the gift of Democracy.

The inherent danger of this internal political evolution is that those civilizations collapsed, were absorbed by other cultures, died or, worse yet, shrunk to a mere reflection of their past glory.

We had a chance to survive the disaster of the George W. Bush presidency, but we may not survive the coming disaster wrought by the presidency of Barack H. Obama.

Goodbye America and hello to - something else!

 

Your comments - The voices of our readers

To B.R. Bronx, New York... Why, "dear sir" is this "Surprising writing from a black person." That is one of the most bigoted statements I have read in a very long time.  I am not Black, but I have lived and worked all my adult life with Black people.  As with people of every race, there are intelligent and less intelligent, good and bad, etc. That Allen Duffs is Black has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he is an excellent writer who is thoughtful and intelligent. Shame on you! You need to really think about what you said.  And, to Allen Duffs, THANK YOU for this website.  It is a rare gift you have of expression and intelligent thinking. I found your website while reading the comment you made to TheDimmit's comments on our current situation with North Korea.  I very much appreciate you taking the time to present such a well thought out comment and this website.

MANY people to this day do NOT count Bush's 2 elections as having been legitimate)  Nevertheless, I am one that DOES believe 'change' is possible and will eventually reflect America's values. We'll be taking Baby Steps until we get there, but that is the perverbial evolutionary process: Win a few, lose a few and finally getting it!

The only point I don't understand is why you used the phrase, "MESSIAH DEMON". It's bad enough there are those Karl Roves who love to run with catch phrases. (I'm sure you're not one of them).
