I delivered this address on the Heading Right Rally today on Political Vindication on Blog Talk Radio. As you read these words, I would like you to compare the character of the men running for the Presidency of the United States and ask yourself which man is more qualified to bring this about.

America Is Worth Fighting For But Are You?

In every man’s being, there is a soul and what a man does with his life determines the character of that soul. A man’s life’s decisions shapes his character and his self-made and self-determined destiny. A man’s plight in life is directly proportional to his efforts, aspirations, dreams and commitment to work his hardest in order to attain and to achieve his goals. He may have a family; either one he belongs to or has established one of his own. He has to determine if that family or his dreams and aspirations are worth the risk of failure in the quest of worthwhile achievements. He has to determine if the satisfaction of success is greater than the risk of failure. Until he is able to overcome the fear of failure, he cannot take the risks involved to succeed. In the end, it is a question of is it worth the fight. If it is not, he becomes that much less of a man.

The same can be said of this Nation we call the United States of America. It took a special breed of man that envisioned this Nation. It took God-fearing men that loved God more than he loved himself to embark on the greatest experiment this world has ever witnessed. The men that envisioned a Nation such as this weighed the costs and determined that a cause greater than themselves was worth the risks of failure and we have reaped the rewards and benefits of such men of vision, character and moral fortitude. There has never been a greater Nation than this, the United States of America. Is she worth fighting for? Absolutely.

The United States of America has been throughout her life the House upon the hill and the Shining Beacon of Hope in a world of darkness, enslavement and despair. Throughout time, she has gone through growing pains and she has recovered and has overcome any and all obstacles put before her. America is funny like that. Leave her alone and the system she was designed as takes care of itself and self-corrects. It is only when man in his infinite ignorance and eternal foolishness gets in the way that she becomes awash in an angry sea of turmoil and confusion. A misguided alignment with God, upon whose teachings she was created and molded after, soon results in an unbridled melee of incomprehensible levels and degrees. It was Godly principles that she was crafted and borne from and with any deviation from those teachings, she becomes confused and gets into trouble. It is only when the vertical alignment of the Nation is corrected and her sights are returned and her gaze is once again focused upon her Foundation does she become calmed and at peace with herself. Is this worth fighting for? Absolutely.

I was talking with a friend the other day and we were talking about people that say things such as, “We need to pray for this country.” We both asked the question, “Where were you in the 1960s when God was removed from school?” Indeed. Shallow comments such as, “we must pray for our country”, echo of hypocrisy. Each and everything we do as a Nation has consequences much like the things a man does in his life has consequences and we must all accept those consequences and weigh these consequences in advance. If we were to weigh the risks of the possible consequences for future generations before we made National decisions for the here and now, I believe we would be close to realizing what our Fore Fathers knew. Faith in God trumps trust in man.

We also talked about chain emails that run around on the internet with questions from people asking why God let such and such happen and where was He when such and such happened. The answers come easy enough but are indeed hard-hitting. When God is removed from one’s life and one’s Nation, God doesn’t come running until invited back. It is as simple as that. It is called Free Will.

This Nation we call America is the only Nation on this planet that was founded on Judeo-Christian values and the values of that time were heavily adhered to without question by the governing body, not necessarily the people. Naturally, man did his best to destroy that seeing that living a Godly life was too hard…it wasn’t worth fighting for and the consequences of that is seen today. However, it isn’t too late to correct that error in judgment. Or is it? Is it worth the fight? Is the risk of failure too great? Is the goal of returning to our roots too costly to outweigh the risks of failure and does that make the fight distasteful? To some, the fight is never worth the effort. It is always easier to say, “This too shall pass.” The problem is, the thing you want to pass never does and those chickens settle in to roost and the only way to rid yourselves of them is to get your hands a little dirty and your clothing a little soiled.

This Nation prospered under Judeo-Christian values and it was only when man decided to slowly remove God from plain sight that America began her downward spiral. It has happened twice in this great land. The first ended with the Great Awakening in the 1800s and she began to prosper once more and she prospered all the way up until the 1920s. During the 1920s she entered into a time of decadence of which she has not yet recovered. It has resulted in a political turmoil equivalent to the time period of the 1860s, roughly. That is the curious thing about this Nation. God always gives us enough rope to hang ourselves with.

It is time for the Great Awakening Part II in this Nation before we enter into another Civil War. There have been too many of our men and women in the United States Armed Services since our birth that have given their all and then some to throw this Nation to the wind and let the godless take her the remaining way into the Abyss of the Eternal Void…the absence of God.

Is America worth fighting for? Absolutely. The question remains, are you?

I would like to end with the following from the Holy Scriptures taken from II Chronicles, 7th Chapter, 14th Verse;

“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”

Thank you.

The Greatness of America...

~Snooper~

This article will be published at The New Media Journal on 28 AUG '08

...and what America's Greatness Means To The World

Once a year America celebrates America's greatness. That day is the 4th of July, our celebrated Day of Independence. That solemn day is now a commercialized event, which in my opinion reduces that solemn day into just another day in the lives of Americans. However, there remains a core value or principle within the souls of most Americans that True American Patriotism will always rise to the top. September 11th, 2001 proved this true.

Neighbor helped neighbor. The political winds ceased to blow but for a short time and the Nation under attack came together. That is all recent history yet it emphasizes the greatness of America and her citizens. Where I live in the hustle and bustle of early morning and afternoon rush hours, drivers were driving their vehicles differently than usual. American Flags could be seen in and on every vehicle. The world was watching us.

America still remains to this day the Beacon of Hope and a representation of what Freedom truly is and what Freedom can be. Millions of people from all walks of life flock to this nation every year. Legions of people are on waiting lists trying to come to America to start anew in the hopes of a better life than the one they are currently living. There are not millions of people on waiting lists to leave because America, even with her faults -- and there are many -- is the best nation on the face of this orb we named Earth. The world is indeed watching us.

There is no other nation on God's green Earth where the citizens are free to roam from place to place at their leisure. There is no other nation where open criticism of the government is allowed to the degree that it is. We as a people are free to opine and complain or praise and extol as we so desire without being behind bars in a prison cell or in fear that we may wind up there because of what we say.

Having said this, our Constitutional and God-given Freedoms come with a price as well as consequences. Freedom of Speech does have its limitations. We are a Nation of Law and Order. Again, the world watches us.

The greatness of any nation is her people. When the people are herded about as cattle; when the government determines how many children one can be allowed to bring into this world and thus dictate as to the acceptable gender; when a government determines which faith you may or may not possess; when movement within a nation's borders are restrictive; the nation's greatness is lost within despair and unhappiness within its people and they become automatons of that nation. When a nation does not and will not provide its people with the vehicle to obtain and pursue happiness, that nation spawns seeds of hate and discontent.

Our nation, the United States of America, guarantees the right of passage for each and every citizen the pursuit of happiness. What we as a people do with that guarantee is in our own self-made destiny and controlled by our own choices in life. Our nation's constitution does not guarantee anyone that they will achieve any particular level of happiness no matter the contrarian views we hear each and every day. Some seem to believe that happiness is given to each and every citizen. Happiness cannot be given or granted. It must be achieved by our own doing.

Her enemies also determine America's greatness. The very nature of her enemies gives credence and validity to her greatness. The enemies of Freedom will always be at odds with the very construct of the American way of life. Throughout history, America's enemies have reacted to our fast-paced growth and richness and the freedom of her citizens. Jealousy and envy are the seeds of hatred and chronic malcontents and are the very root cause of the evils thrust upon this nation both from within and without. Some called it America's Manifest Destiny that propelled this nation into greatness. I believe this to be true.

Our nation is a nation of opportunity and many people die in the process in getting to this nation as they flee the oppressiveness of other nations. Consider the Vietnamese, Cuban and Haitian boat people as a stark reminder of how desperate citizens of other nations are and what they are willing to sacrifice in getting to America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. I have never heard of boat people that have died on the open seas trying to flee America.

As the world watches America, Europe has begun returning to a non-socialist means of governance although that process will be a slow one. Nonetheless, it is taking place in historic proportions. They are turning away from that form of governance because it has failed and although our faults are many, this nation's greatness remains the Beacon of Hope. The world watches and deep down they know that America is great. We are the preeminent role model of Freedom this world has ever known. As a testament to this I present the following.

In Afghanistan on July 4th, 2008, a Polish Detachment celebrated America's Independence Day with American Forces serving there. At the end of the ceremony, the Commander of the Polish Forces presented to American Command the following:

Dear Friends, Two hundred and thirty two years ago, when your forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence, they changed the history of the world. Thanks to their sacrifices the world realized the true meaning of freedom. Independence and freedom are powerful words in your country as they are in Poland. When the United States gained independence, Poland was in the process of slowly loosing portions of its borders to its neighbors. We appreciate your efforts towards a unified and independent United States of America because we know how difficult it is to regain freedom and independence. Today we can be very happy with living in independent countries. Today we fight together for freedom for people in other countries, like here in Afghanistan.

4th of July and Independence Day are identified in our country with aspiring to freedom and that is why we are so happy that we can celebrate this day with American soldiers signifying our common goals for peace and freedom. Today we wish you and your nation a peaceful and happy day.

Polish Military Contingent Afghanistan

My friends, the American Dream is not broken as some would express. It is the process utilized in the chase of the American Dream that is broken. No government supplied Entitlement Program or process can guarantee any level of happiness one so desires to achieve. Only individual achievement on their own volition and inspiration can propel an individual to the levels of happiness one can dream of attaining. Hard work, dedication and the mental capacity to reach for the stars can and will pave the way for whatever goal an individual wishes to achieve. And therein, through the process of self-motivation, the pursuit of happiness begins and the struggles of life will be rewarded.

It is the greatness of the American People, which makes our nation great. It is the unending spirit of giving, which makes this nation great. In this nation, in time of emergency, no matter one's political or religious leanings or trappings, Americans help Americans in time of need. In local emergencies and using a fire as an example, Americans run into burning buildings and not out to save those that are trapped and some die in that process. In national emergencies, as in September 11th, 2001, Americans helped Americans across this land and across the oceans. In international emergencies, the world turns to Americans to rescue them and to lend aid and comfort in unsettling times and tragedy. As in all emergencies across this Orb Earth, Americans are the first responders the world over and here at home.

When people are in harms way of tyranny and slavery to brutal dictators, it is Americans that respond and no one else unless shamed into doing so. And, we are hated for it. That is what makes the greatness of America. When we hear that the world hates us, we know that we are doing the jobs others are incapable of doing or are unwilling to do. The measure and the very nature of the naysayers of this nation is what makes America great and great she will always remain.

We seem to save ourselves from internal destruction seemingly in the nick of time. We are a self-correcting nation and other nations envy us and others hate us for it. Nevertheless, we press forward as the Beacon of Hope and still, with all of the hype we hear from the enemies of Freedom and the enemies of Law and Order to the contrary of our greatness, we still render aid when called upon and when not called upon, we still make the offer.

The world does watch us and, the nations that are not as free as we, are envious of us and what we are capable of doing.

Remember these words and may they never falter nor let their meaning escape your remembrance: from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home sweet home.

May God continue to bless and keep us from ourselves.
