Ronald Reagan spoke of a shining city on a hill. Yes indeed, America has been a shining city to millions of people who have craved to be free.
People come from all over the world to taste the freedoms we enjoy. What as wonderful country this is, where the disadvantaged can hope to grow up to be president.
It is a place where poor people can grow up to be superstar sports figures, entertainers, celebrities, and political nabobs. They can accomplish the remarkable and be worshiped by the masses. My my, this is really a shining city on a hill.
In his farewell address, President Reagan explained: "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here."

There has never been a superpower in this position before. On the one
hand, this makes the U.S. a magnet for bright and ambitious people. It
also makes us a target. We are becoming one of the last holdouts of the
traditional Judeo-Christian culture. There is no better place in the
world to be in business and raise children. The U.S. is by far the best
place to have an idea, form a business and put it into the marketplace. We
take it for granted, but it isn't as available in other countries of
the world. Ultimately, it's an issue of culture. The only people who
can hurt us are ourselves, by losing our culture. If we give up our
Judeo-Christian culture, we become just like the Europeans. The culture war is the whole ballgame. If we lose it, there isn't another America to pull us out. [END]
"From
Cassandra to Jesus Christ, it is amazing how often the doomed choose to
ignore those who warn them of their coming fate." Cassandra was "doomed
to tell the truth yet never to be believed". I am amazed how Greek
Mythology so mirrors American politics.
I am also equally
amazed that the United States is the last hold out for Judeo-Christian
values but I am not surprised at all that those values are under attack
by those that will not heed the warnings. What is equally astounding
are the attitudes of complacency of so many alleged Christians in this
nation we call America. Prophecy is being fulfilled as we live and
breath and yet the silence is overwhelmingly loud. Alas. The silent
ones will deserve everything that befalls them.
Casandra had the
ability to foresee the future but was damned by her lover Apollo to
never have the gift of persuasion because she spurned him at one point
in time. The lesson there is to never anger your God or god. In the
words of Cassandra. "Apollo, my destroyer, for you have destroyed me
..." (Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1080) and "I promised consent to Apollo but
broke my word ... and ever since that fault I could persuade no one."
(Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1208ff.)
John The Baptist lamented in
nearly the same manner when he proclaimed "You brood of vipers! Who
warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" and "I am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as the
prophet Isaiah said." Some call John The Baptist God's sled dog.
I agree. Someone has to do it. It is all too readily clear that our
politicians are not only incapable of such but are wholly unqualified.
Amazing isn't it? Who will hear and who will respond in the affirmative to that which we witness day in and day out? We see a Global Cultural Jihad
unfolding before us yet we sit idly by in either fear to make waves or
total disbelief. We ignore it in the hopes that it will all
mysteriously vanish. Such is not the case.
This Global Cultural
Jihad does not mean in totality that it is only the alleged "radical"
Islam members conducting it nor does it mean that you have to be an
Islamist to conduct a Jihad. Jihad means a Holy War and in my
estimation anyone can conduct a Holy War. The Scriptures are very clear
in this as is so stated in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places."
We fight evil with good and there are those
that fight good with evil. It is up to people to ascertain and discern
that which is evil and that which is good. There are abundant sources of data upon which to glean the knowledge required to make the correct choices in life.
Herb
Meyer was recently in Davos, Switzerland at a symposium where mighty
men of courage gathered to discuss current events and, as voices in the
wilderness, Mr Meyer made this proclamation:
No
other words to my knowledge have been uttered so truthfully in recent
days. America is in the same Culture War as is all of Europe and
Canada. It has gotten so dire that Europe is preparing for their own Holy War
called a civil war. So, too, here in the USA, there are some which are
speaking of the same. As a Warrior myself, I pray that this does not
come to pass but I do understand the sentiment and can see it coming.
It can be all avoided but there must be those willing to make
themselves known and emerge from their closeted comfort zones and speak
out.
Traditional America is under attack and has been for
decades. The issue is this; is it too late to do anything about it? For
the first time a true Marxist is poised to become the President of the
United States and Barack Obama is indeed a Marxist. All one has to do
is listen
to him as he speaks and parse his rhetoric. The man is a consummate
liar and the collection of videos presented clearly depict that fact.
American Liberalism has been shown to be a mental disorder
in proportions as to declare the country an international crisis. We
have no qualified leadership in this nation at the federal level. Their
spines and moral fortitude have been beaten into globs of mush with no
relief in sight.
We need national healing and that won't come
until 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes into prominent play: "If my people, which
are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Naturally, the
Leftinistra will froth and foam at the mouth with these words but this
is to be expected and I am sure the comments section will be rife with
much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The United States is at a crossroads and the time has come for action and perhaps the Great Revival Part 2.

Here is an American Congress for Truth (ACT) e-newsletter sent out June 30, 2008. It gives further credence to a fifth column movement in North America similar to what the old Soviet Communists got away with from the 30’s through the 60’s.

ACT introduction of Ottawa Citizen News Article:
The Ottawa Citizen story below highlights the grave threat of infiltration of our defense and intelligence communities by Islamists working in league with terrorists abroad.
The article references the Muslim Brotherhood Project, the long-term plan created by the Muslim Brotherhood to subvert the West from within.
Brigitte Gabriel’s new book, They Must Be Stopped, scheduled for release around the first of September, devotes an entire chapter to this threat.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some 2,200 U.S. Marines battling insurgents in southern Afghanistan have had their tour of duty extended by 30 days, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
The move comes amid U.S. concern about rising violence in Afghanistan from Taliban Islamist militants and other groups. The Marines' departure date was shifted from October into November, officials said.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates made the decision at the
request of Army Gen. David McKiernan, commander of the NATO-led
International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Read the whole report here.

Yesterday in Afghanistan:
Troops in Afghanistan Kill, Detain Enemy Fighters
American Forces Press
Service
WASHINGTON, July 3, 2008 - Coalition forces in Afghanistan killed several
enemy fighters and detained eight others in recent days, military officials
said.
-- Three Taliban militants
were detained in Ghazni province, where coalition forces were targeting a
Taliban militant in the area.
-- Coalition forces detained five
militants while targeting a senior Taliban leader and homemade-bomb facilitator
in Helmand province. During the search, forces discovered assault rifles and a
cache of opium. The weapons and drugs were destroyed to prevent possible
militant use.
In an operation June 30, several militants were killed
during a reconnaissance patrol by Afghan national security forces and coalition
forces in the Maywand district of Kandahar province. The militants attacked the
patrol using rockets. The militants were pursued and were later killed with
precision air strikes, officials said.

There is not one mention of Barack Hussein Obama’s wife Michelle in this news article; nonetheless that is what came to mind when I read that a Black jazz artist Renee Marie sang the “Black National Anthem” (“Lift Every Voice and Sing”) in a “switcheroonie” rather than the American “National Anthem” (“The Star-Spangled Banner”) because she “doesn’t feel American.”
Actually the reason Marie gave for singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is the tragedy. She singlehandedly turned an awesome Christian worship song into a racially divisive song repudiating American patriotism.
