AMERICA! LOST IN TH' SHUFFLE!

THANK YOU! You betcha! I want to take a "time out" and stop and reflect on how the REAL AMERICANS are organizin' and beginnin' to start takin' back control of OUR country. You folks that aren't scared to STAND UP for the Constitution, I thank you. You folks that aren't scared to STAND UP for OUR belief in GOD, I thank you. You folks that pulled your head outta th' sand and said, "Hey! Wait just a minute! They cannot get away with that!", I thank you. You folks that traveled to join other folks in the FIGHT to take OUR country back, I think you. You organizers, you volunteers, you donors, you word spreaders, you REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS, I thank you. You are the GLUE that will bring OUR country back together again and you are to be congratulated over and over and over again and again! I sincerely, "Thank you."

"In the crisis through which we are now passing, we have been fully warned. This has brought forth some criticism. There are some of us who do not want to hear the message. It embarrasses us. The things which are threatening our lives, our welfare, our freedoms are the very things some of us have been condoning. Many do not want to be disturbed as they continue to enjoy their comfortable complacency." .............Ezra Taft Benson 1973

............are the very things some of us have been condoning. That part of Ezra Benson's quote is so true of America today. Th' "keep your doors unlocked" America is gone. Th' "wave and say hello to your neighbors" America is gone. Th' "our neighbors have fallen on hard times, so let's pitch in and help them out" America is gone. Th' "here, let me get that for ya ma'am" America is gone. Yeah, even th' "yes ma'am" and "yes sir" America is gone. In fact, just about everyone under sixteen don't even know what I'm talkin' about. Yeah, we had it good. We, for th' most part, liked each other. Sure we had some "bad apples", but we knew how to handle 'em and we did. America definitely, "Spoke softly and carried a big stick." Then attorneys and Hollywood got in th' act. Th' "stick" was gone! Loose morals and lopsided justice took it's place! And America, like we knew and cherished, began to rot!

Let me share something with you. I was foolin' around on the Internet th' other day and discovered something that kinda put some emphasis on today's America. Anyway, you know how when you type something into one of them search engines, it gives you suggestions underneath? Yeah, well, you know, just for th' heck of it, I decided to type the word "America" into several of them search engines. Guess what it suggested? Th' Constitution? Nope. Th' Declaration of Independence? Naw. Th' American Flag? Uh, uh. Any of Our Founding Fathers? No sir. Not even George Washington? No siree! The first thing that came up under the suggestions was the American Idol. It was on ALL th' search engines. The American Idol. Boy that'll give you some info on America, huh? I mean, I typed in America, OUR country, and this is what I got. Th' friggin' American Idol! It ought to be called th' "American Idle" 'cause folks we been idle just too darn long! Here are the rest of th' suggestions:

AMERICAN IDOL
BANK OF AMERICA
AMERICAN AIRLINES
AMERICAN EXPRESS
AMERICAN EAGLE
AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL
AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS
AMERICAS GOT TALENT
AMERICAN RED CROSS AMERICAN REVOLUTION
AMERICAN IDOL 2009
AMERICAN APPAREL
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION
AMERICAN GIRL
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

There is not one single suggestion that even has anything to do with our country, except maybe American Revolution. You see, they have stolen, that's right STOLEN our priorities. Our brains have been slowly soaked with their tranquilizers. Think about it Folks! What used to be important to Americans? I'll tell you what it was. It was simply, God, Country, Family, and a way to provide for them. That was it! It was good too! And it was not that long ago. Today? Well today, it's all different! It's mixed up and confusing. Today it's FUN, that's number one, then it's MONEY, THINGS, SATISFACTION, GRATIFICATION, ANIMAL WORSHIP, HUMAN WORSHIP, IDOL WORSHIP, ENVY, JEALOUSY, And I can go on and on. No I am not no preacher! And I'm dang sure not talkin' to everyone out there, but "if th' ol' sandal fits............."!

Now y'all don't get me wrong. I like TV shows, animals and some fun now and then, but they should never and I mean NEVER take th' place of GOD, COUNTRY, AND FAMILY! No sir, those should be sacred. They should be placed high in th' order of things. And let me make this clear as a bell, so you fruit cakes out there can understand me. When I say GOD, I mean th' GOD of our founding fathers! The GOD referred to in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence! The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and John. I do not mean some vision by a Hollywood entertainer, or some scientific rationalization of Apes, or some friggin' big ol' firecracker floatin' around in space that conceived us all. Everyone, and I mean everyone knows the GOD I mean. Okay, felt good to get that off my chest. Now where was I? Oh yeah, the preservation of OUR country.

Just do this for th' next few days. Listen to how many times you hear th' word FUN, MONEY, ANIMAL, PET, or FAMILY on TV. That's their tranquilizer! That's where they are soakin' ya! Don't let 'em. Just listen. Bet ya FUN, or things having to do with entertaining ourselves, will be number one. Wanna bet? Oh, and watch how celebrities and animals are worshipped. No I'm not a nut. They are. Really. Just watch. Did you know that most stores have over two isles of pet food, but only about a half for baby food? Did you know that folks spend more on pet food than on feeding the homeless? PRIORITIES! They're stealin' 'em. Hey, and I like to see a good lookin' gal, but Miss USA strutin' around in a bikini. Miss USA ought to be like Mother Theresa or somebody like similar. We're talkin' the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA folks! Is this how we picture it to be represented? I don't think so. Can you say Hollywood? Can you say PRIORITIES?

Now please don't shoot th' messenger, but this is part of th' "tearin' us down" plan. It is! Remember, keep us confused, complicated, and apart and they succeed. We STAND together and we succeed. We need to GET 'EM OUT OF OUR HOUSE! Oh, and click on that, under my RECOMMENDED SITES section. Tim's a good un and he's got a good plan.

Okay, once again, my opinions and there'll be more and more and more! Just like that rabbit, I ain't quittin' folks!
