Hell in a Handbasket

"There is a war on for your mind!" Such is Alex Jones' catch-phrase for his well-known conservative talk show. And he is right. It is not a matter of differing opinions, nor is it a matter of someone else believing he is right and trying to prove through logic and other similar means that you are wrong. They believe you are wrong, and they are hell-bent on forcing you into submission. But who is this nebulous and indistinct "they" to whom I keep referring? It is your beloved government. I shall state it again. The government of the United States of America has absolutely zero good will toward its citizens, and thinks only of subjugation and power consolidation. Does this apply to all individuals in the government? Certainly not. However, it is the general attitude of the government, and has been for several decades. So why choose such a title? Because it is too late to change the direction of the country. Washington, D. C. is a lost cause. The individual States, comprised of individuals with common sense and good morals, were originally intended to be the power base in this country. There was to be no strong central government telling the individual States what to do. However, since the War of Northern Aggression, the entire paradigm of political thought in America has changed. People now believe that the local government is the least important part of their lives, and that the States should be subservient to their masters. This makes as much sense as believing that any of you, my readers, is the parent of your mother much like something found in Greek mythology. It is utter madness. Yet today when people have a problem, people look to the government. It is seen as government's place to provide housing, food, clothing, life's luxuries, etc. to those who cannot afford it. The first problem with this is that it takes away all self-initiative on the part of the individual. If someone is going to give me all I require to live, then what motivation do I have to become anything in life except a couch potato? Second, as any good economist will tell you, it drives up prices and drives down quality in the goods provided by the government. Most importantly, in cases where the person is nothing more than a common leech who has learned how to manipulate the system, it is contrary to a direct commandment from God that that person starve or learn to work (II Thessalonians 3: 9-15). And to quote Gamaliel, "Lest we be found to fight against God" let's let them starve. So by now you are probably thinking this article is merely the disjointed ramblings of an angry man. But it is not. Entitlement programs, the paradigm shift, moral decadence, and a thousand other things are merely tools. Our enemy is smart. In warfare, if my army can pinpoint all its attention at yours, then all things being equal the best shall win. But, if suddenly I have to fight yours on 2 fronts, or even 3, then I shall eventually become overextended and shall lose regardless of how well-trained, well-equipped, and well-funded mine is. Likewise, all these issues plaguing America today are merely fronts in an on-going war for you and your mind. And the sad fact is that our enemy is winning. These people have no qualms nor do they believe as we do. If you question that, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcGpjc-fR8E&NR=1 and it should change your mind rather quickly. Truly, America has gone to Hell in a Handbasket.
