We Get the Government We Deserve (Part 3 Continued)

The White House   Capitol Hill

We get the government we deserve not so much because of our elected elite, but the very fact that for generations upon generations millions of Americans have continually re-elected incumbent politicians who shouldn't have been re-elected.  We've voted for those not based on their moral character nor for those who will uphold the Constitution, but for those that promise us benefits.  The reason why some Americans in certain states such as Illinois, California, New York, etc. keep re-electing the same old ilk is because they appeal to those groups of voters by promising them the government will take care of them.  The government will provide you healthcare, will help finance your mortgages, will pay for your college education, will provide you welfare benefits, etc.  I will acknowledge that the mainstream voters in the South and the Midwest vote differently for the most part than voters in the northeastern states and California.  They tend to be more conservative in their voting.  That's why we saw them go red in 2010 because they were tired of the corruption from incumbent politicians (mostly Democrats).  They were tired of excessive government spending and government intruding into our daily lives.  I will admit part of the problem with the blue states such as the northeastern states and California is they have been infiltrated with illegal immigrants so that's played a role with the change in voting patterns. 

We've raised a generation of Americans that's apathetic, lazy, indifferent to current events and what's happening in government, and are not raised in a solid Bible-believing church.  More Americans are interested in watching American Idol and NFL football than they are interested in the House of God and what's happening in our communities across America.  We are an entertained crazed generation.  John Adams once said that our Constitution was only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate for any other.  America has strayed far from it's founding principles.  America was settled by a group of people who loved God and wanted the freedom to worship God as they saw fit.  They didn't come to America looking for a handout or for the government to take care of them from cradle to grave.  They believed if they didn't provide for their own living, then they would starve. We no longer possess the independence we once did.  More and more Americans are relying on government for more and more services in their lives today.  Don't we realize that if government has the power to give you something they have the power to take it away?  As a result of the government intruding in more areas of our lives, we're become more and more enslaved to the government. 

We as Americans need to stop looking to Washington to solve our problems.  Our answer is not in Washington.  It's in the Lord.  America has come too far down the road from a moral, spiritual, and economic standpoint to expect our politicians to rescue us.  The transforming of America that President Obama spoke of when he ran for president in 2008 is almost complete.  We're close to becoming a fascist nation.  I guarantee you the evidence will be there when all of the provisions of Obamacare are implemented in 2014, for example.  No politician is going to deliver America from it's moral, social, political, economic, and spiritual troubles.  Our only answer is in Jesus Christ.  I want to quote Psalms 121:1 in closing.  "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help."
