Appreciating America's Heritage (Part 2)
Oh Beautiful for spacious skies,
For Amber waves of grain,
For purple Mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee!
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Thank God for America. Thank God for the land of the free and the home of the brave. God has been abundantly good to us. America has been singularly the greatest country ever on the face of the earth. America has a rich heritage dating all the way back to the earliest colonial settlers in Jamestown, Virginia. Recently I've made statements concerning the two things that I believe has made America a very unique country. There are two things that I attribute to America being the greatest country on earth. Those two are (1) the Biblical foundation that America was founded upon, and (2) the entrepreneurial spirit. Those two attributes are what has made America a great and unique country. Our early Pilgrim and Puritan forefathers came to America for religious freedom. They came to America to establish their own colony and to worship God as they saw fit. They didn't want to be a part of a state religion. That's why they left England. They made huge sacrifices on behalf of their family so they could sail to unknown territory to establish a colony and within that colony a church so their family would have a place to worship. That's something that would be considered breathtaking to many people in this generation. How many people today would pack all their belongings and travel to another country so they could worship God according to their conscience? Not many. Even though our Puritan forefathers weren't perfect, they had their priorities in order concerning Godly things. They knew there was a holy God in Heaven who was just and perfect. God wasn't a byword to them nor just somebody they could call upon when their world was crumbling. God was more to them than someone who was just a call away. God was life to them. That doesn't mean they were Biblically correct in all the doctrine they preached and taught. The Puritans taught some doctrines that I believe were unscriptural. However, God was more than just an afterthought to them, which is in contrast to most churches and religious people today.
Throughout the decades, other Christians came to America for the purpose to worship God. God sent a revival to this nation twice in the eighteenth century. They were the First and Second Great Awakening. Many people were converted and as a result the atmosphere and culture changed in America. Saloons would shut their doors because of the work God was doing in the hearts and lives of people. Also, many of the U.S.'s early laws were based upon the Bible. America was built upon a very strong religious foundation. God blessed our early forefathers for their faithfulness to God in spite of their not always being Biblically correct in all their doctrine.
The other attribute that made America great was the entrepreneurial spirit that created the free enterprise system in America. The government in early America recognized that an economic system isn't built upon government programs and government handouts. They also recognized you don't build an economy by the redistribution of wealth. There wasn't class envy in early America, to my knowledge. Today all you hear from our politicians and the news media is the rich aren't paying their fair share of taxes. America's political leaders knew that wealth was created by rich people. Wealth wasn't created by the government nor poor people. As a result of government not interfering with the daily affairs of business, the free enterprise system prospered beyond imagination. Within 150 years following the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America went from being an agrarian nation to an industrial nation. It was due to men of talent using their talents to start a business and inventing new inventions which caused them to become wealthy. Some of America's early entrepreneurs were the pioneers of the free enterprise system such as Eli Whitney who invented the cotton gin, J.D. Rockefeller who developed and built America's oil industry, and Andrew Carnegie who developed the steel industry. I will admit that some of these industrial tycoons exploited the capitalist system to create monopolies and had used their money to influence and buy off the federal government. Even though there are excesses to capitalism, it's still one of the greatest economic systems in America. Capitalism allows man to explore, create, and innovate. It also allows the market to determine whether or not a product will be successful or fail. It depends upon what the population-at-large desires. The factors of production are determined by the free market system; not the government. Beginning with the Great Depression, government has placed a stranglehold on business and has made it difficult for a small- or medium-sized business to operate successfully. The government's philosophy of business today is in anathema to the Founders' philosophy of business. It's the talent and ingenuity of entrepreneurs that builds the free enterprise system.
Last time in May when I wrote the first portion to this post, I was explaining some of the reasons why parents should teach their children American history. I was stating that parents need to instill patriotism and a love of country in their children. They can't do so if they don't mention what's good about America. Children need to recognize that all the conveniences and gadgets we possess today is fairly recent. America hasn't always enjoyed the prosperity we enjoy today. There was a time when people had to travel by foot or horse. It's only been a century since Americans started purchasing automobiles. We need to teach children to appreciate what America has produced over the course of 404 years. The opportunities we enjoy today weren't always available in American history. There are people who sacrificed in generations past so future generations can enjoy the benefits previous generations never were able to be a part of.
Another reason why it's important for parents to teach their children American history is because the freedoms we enjoy today are blood-bought and blood-fought. When you read the Constitution and read the first ten amendments to the Constitution it's imperative that young people recognize our forefathers had to fight for those rights. They fought for them on the battlefield during America's war for Independence. Soldiers in future generations fought to maintain our freedoms during the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, the two Gulf Wars and the War in Afghanistan. Freedom is costly. Vigilance also carries a price. There are those who despise what America has in the way of freedom and they're attacking our freedoms on a daily basis. It's important for young people to recognize that our freedom was fought for by those soldiers who left their homes to fight for freedom's cause. That's why we possess the freedom to speak what's on our mind, the freedom to assemble, to petition, and to protest, etc. Another sacred freedom is the right to vote. It's pathetic the perecentage of the voter turnout in many elections today. The last few generations of Americans have become apathetic and don't understand the significance of voting. That's why it's crucial to teach our young people the importance of voting and civic duty. A price was paid by our forefathers so we can vote and participate in government. If we don't seize the opportunity to vote and become politically involved, there will come a day when we won't have the privilege to vote or speak against the actions of our government.
Lastly, it's important to teach young people American history because they are the future leaders of our country. They need to know what America symbolizes. They need to know the American system and how it operates. They need to know the religious, social, cultural, and economic history of our country. Students need to be immersed in American history. If students don't learn their history, how will they be able to run a business or lead the nation politically if they don't know the history nor background of this nation? One of the handicaps for many of our political leaders today, including President Obama is they don't have an undestanding of America's history. They don't understand what the American dream represents. The last president who had a full understanding of the American dream was the late president Ronald Reagan. He not only knew what the American dream symbolized but he was able to articulate it to the American people. Listen to his stirring Farewell Address from 1989. He knew what America was about. He understood the kind of country our early forefathers built. Even though Reagan made mistakes as president, you knew he loved America and had a profound understanding of the American dream. All presidents since Ronald Reagan have been globalist-minded. They were too busy trying to sound politically correct instead of defending America's great heritage.
If we don't teach our young people America history today, then we're going to lose this country before too long. We're raising a generation of young people that don't know their history or what defines America's greatness. If we adults don't steer our children in the right direction and bring them back to America's roots, we will have a country before too long that won't recognize the America my grandparents knew. Children need to be well-educated on America history and its great institutions. They need to be taught that they have a reason to be proud of America. I'm thankful for the efforts of Glenn Beck and the 9/12 Project in the last couple of years playing their role in teaching American history both to adults and children. I'm thankful for all the events that are used to teach children about America's heritage. There are several parents involved in teaching children about America's history through Vacation Liberty School, which is an offshoot of the 9/12 Project. If there's ever a turnaround or a second revolution in America, it will be due somewhat to the efforts of Glenn Beck and the 9/12 Project. Parents have the responsibility to teach and inculcate an appreciation for American history to their children. Christian parents need to lead the way in this massive endeavor. I want to thank all those (such as David Barton and Glenn Beck to name a few) that have involved themselves in the last few decades in educating the American people about our history.

U.S. Is Intensifying a Secret Campaign of Yemen Airstrikes
U.S. Is Intensifying a Secret Campaign of Yemen Airstrikes - NYTimes.com
What????? Another war??????? There's been word that the United States is intensifying a secret campaign of airstrikes against Yemen. I thought President Obama didn't believe that the United States should be fighting wars in the Middle East. When then Senator Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he stated he was going to withdraw our troops from both Iraq and Afghanistan. In the last 2.5 years, the United States is still in both Iraq and Afghanistan. We've added two other wars since which are Libya and now Yemen. The President said we would only be in Libya for days. Now we've been in Libya for almost two months. Nowe we're supposedly fighting Al-Qaeda in Yemen. When's it going to stop? WE can't remove every potentate in the Middle East. All this uproar in the Middle East will eventually result in the establishment of a Muslim Caliphate in the Middle East.
One more question: Where are all the anti-war protesters? Where are all the protesters who protested so vehemently when President George W. Bush decided to make the decision to invade Iraq? I'm not asking this to defend former president George W. Bush. I didn't agree with Bush's Iraq war policies. However, President Obama has continued Bush's policies of fighting wars in the Middle East. Is it because of who's in the White House now? It makes me believe those who protested the war against Iraq when Bush was president didn't have so much to do with the morality of invading Iraq as it did with who was the Commander-in-chief at the time. To her credit, Cindy Sheehan has continued protesting the wars. I believe her motives for protesting the war in Iraq was because she was opposed to U.S. involvement in Iraq as well as the fact her son, Casey Sheehan, was murdered fighting in Iraq. President Obama has taken the wars to a different level by adding Libya and now Yemen. What will be next?

Key Strategists Exit Newt Gingrich's Presidential Campaign
(USA Today June 10, 2011) Former House Speaker and 2012 presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's campaign imploded Thursday with the resignation of his senior campaign strategists and top supporters in key states. Gingrich vowed in a Facebook post to continue "the substantive, solutions-oriented campaign I set out to run earlier this spring," saying it would begin "anew" with an appearance before the Republican Jewish Coalition to the Republican nomination in 2012. I say "hogwash" to that. What's serious about the presidential campaign of Newt Gingrich? Nothing.
The mass exodus of his campaign staff, first reported by the Associated Press, raises questions about Gingrich's ability to raise money, attract grass-roots support and devise a credible path to the Republican nomination in 2012. Rick Tyler told USA TODAY, "The campaign manager met with the senior advisers and Newt, and they couldn't find a mutually agreeable path forward." "They decided to leave, and at that point, I decided I had a disagreement with the path forward, and when that happens the candidate's path forward is the path forward. It's not the staff's." Tyler, who has worked for Gingrich for 12 years, claims he believes Gingrich would make a "great president." Former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue, who had been Gingrich's national campaign co-chairman, joined a rival campaign for former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty's presidential campaign.
Gingrich's campaign manager Rob Johnson and strategist Sam Dawson resigned from the national staff, as did top Gingrich supporters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina--Craig Schoenfeld, Dave Carney and Katon Dawson--according to Schoenfeld. "You have to be able to raise money to run a campaign and you have to invest time in fundraising and to campaign here in the state, and I did not have the confidence that was going to be happening," Schoenfeld, director of Gingrich's Iowa campaign, told the "Des Moines Register." The wave of resignations included all six paid members of Gingrich's staff in Iowa, site of the opening presidential caucuses. Gingrich's campaign had gotten off to a faltering start due to a statement Gingrich made in an appearance on "Meet the Press" last month. He criticized the House Republican proposal to overhaul Medicare as "radical", which he later back tracked from. He spoke favorably of proposals similar to the individual mandates in the health care law that are anathema in the GOP. Then later "Politico" reported that he had owned $250,00 to $500,000 in a "revolving charge account" at Tiffany's. Schoenfeld complained that Gingrich wasn't prepared to spend the time and resources he felt were necessary on the ground in Iowa, paticularly before an August 13 straw poll.
Fundraising had become problematic among both small donors and major contributors after Gingrich's controversial appearance on "Meet the Press," according to a source close to Gingrich who didn't want to be identified because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly. The final straw for many aides was Gingrich's decision to go on a long-planned cruise with his wife in the Greek isles for the past two weeks rather than stay in the United States and campaign.
According to my opinion, I believe many of Gingrich's top aides decided to resign was because they sensed a lack of seriousness on the part of Gingrich to mount a serious presidential run for the White House. I don't detect a serious, conscientious, effort by Gingrich to campaign aggressively to win the Republican Party's nomination in 2012, much less to defeat President Barack Obama in the November 2012 general election. Also, Gingrich damaged his reputation amongst many conservatives over the comments he made against House Budget Committe Chairman Paul Ryan's Medicare plan. Gingrich isn't a viable candidate for the U.S. presidency. He has too much baggage. It wouldn't surprise me if Gingrich withdraws from the presidential race prior to the upcoming 2012 presidential primary. If Gingrich were to win the Republican nomination, he would handily lose next year's presidential election to Barack Obama.

Weinergate
Rep. Weiner Admits to Sending Lewd Twitter Photo, Acknowledges Other Explicit Conversations - FoxNews.com
Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) talking to reporters this past Monday.
Recently Americans have witnessed a whole assortment of sex scandals amongst various politicians, both Democrat and Republican. Some examples within the last five years were Mark Foley, Larry Craig, John Edwards, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc. Last week Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) was added to the list. Last Wednesday Weiner claimed his Twitter account had been hacked. He claimed he was the victim of a prank. It showed a picture of a man wearing underwear (emphasis added) and Weiner denied those were of him. This past Monday he revealed he placed pictures of himself with his naked torso and that he lied about his Twitter account being hacked. It was conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart on Breitbart.com that exposed the Weinergate story. Thank God for Breitbart's courage in exposing the facts about the Weiner sex scandal.
Weiner admitted earlier this week that he emailed lewd photos of himself to women he never met. He was involving with sexting women over the internet. One of the women that Weiner had an online exchange with was Meagan Broussard. She was interviewed by Hannity on the Fox News Channel Tuesday giving details on the encounter she had with Weiner.
To top the whole story, Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin of South Asian descent, announced she was pregnant on Wednesday June 8. She is a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Last year former president Bill Clinton officiated the wedding of Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin on July 10, 2010. I didn't know Bill Clinton was a minister? Ha! Ha! She has strong ties to the Clintons. It's tragic. Weiner is a sex pervert and he's going to be a daddy for the first time. I feel sorry for the unborn child.
There have been some Democrats urging Anthony Weiner to resign. Former Democratic Party chairman Tim Kaine has said Weiner should resign. Also Massachusetts Rep. Nikki Tsongas said it would be wise for Weiner to resign. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), claimed it would be in the best interests of the county for Weiner to step down. House Minority Leader stated that she would call for an ethics probe to investigate the matter in which Weiner assured he would fully cooperate. If there is an ethics probe it will be bogus. In spite of the calls for Weiner to step down, he remains determine to keep his seat in New York. Weiner has been representing his district since 1999 when then Congressman Chuck Schumer made the decision to challenge then incumbent Senator Alfonse D'Amato for the Senate seat in 1998. Schumer defeated D'Amato in the U.S. Senate race in 1998.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian Dies at 83
Dr. Jack Kevorkian Dies at 83 - Backed Assisted Suicide - NYTimes.com
Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the pathologist who has the nickname Dr. Death, died on June 3, 2011 at a hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. Dr. Kevorkian was known for his crusade to legalize physician-assisted suicide. He had aided in the deaths of 130 patients from 1990 to 2000. He spent decades campaigning for the legalization of euthanasia. He served eight years in prison from 1999-2007 and was arrested numerous times in helping the patients commit suicide. The methods he used in physician-assisted suicide were injections, carbon monoxide, and his infamous suicide machine, built from scraps for $30.00. Those in whose deaths that he aided had medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, malignant brain tumors, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Kevorkian made the statement that dying should be an intimate and dignified process, something that termilly ill people are denied. To learn more about Dr. Kevorkian, click on the above link at NYTimes.com. Additional information was obtained from The Washington Post.
