Please note that these links do exist -- but
they're in the process of being shuffled around a little because of some
asshole making an issue of my web sites in court. If one doesn't work today
-- it will very soon. I'm guessing November 30, 2005!
Can an immoral person be regarded as a true patriot? The framers of
this republic didn't think so. The Father of the American Revolution
Sam Adams, said, "He who is void of virtuous attachments in private
life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country.
There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his
country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations
in his private connections."
Our form of government is totally dependent upon "each and every one
of us to control ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of
God," James Madison said. John Adams agreed. He said, "Our
Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
William Penn warned, "If men will not be governed by God, they will
be ruled by tyrants." Patrick Henry said virtually the same thing.
He declared, "It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their
chains." Freedom-loving people must by nature be God-fearing people.
Current events suggest that America has forgotten this fundamental
truth. Intoxicated with hedonism, we not only tolerate Clinton's
Mafia-style brutality; we applaud it. Americans applauded when those
people at Mr. Carmel burned. They cheered when federal agents seized
little Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint. It doesn't bother us that
Clinton's merciless mad dogs victimize innocent women. Even the
national press looks the other way when one of its own is pummeled
by Clinton's thuggery.
I used to marvel at how the German people could support a man like
Adolf Hitler. When Hitler came to power, Germany was a republic.
Furthermore, they had a rich Christian history. The Germans were
cultured, law-abiding people. How they could follow a man like
Hitler was a mystery to me - until now.
Are we not like Germany of old when we applaud as federal Storm
Troopers kick down our fellow citizen's doors during the night to
carry out the unlawful orders of a ruthless ruler? Do we really
think that it can only happen to our neighbors, and not to us?
America is no longer ruled by the U.S. Constitution. We are ruled by
brute force. Clinton has effectively neutered congress and the
courts. He is an authority unto himself. He is accountable to no
one. What is worse is that the vast majority of the American people
seem to find this palatable.
Some have suggested that Bill Clinton will never leave office. They
propound that he will create a national crisis and then declare
himself to be the only one who is capable of solving the problem.
They believe he will suspend elections and seize authoritarian
control.
For the sake of discussion, who among us would resist such a
tyrannical move? Would his fellow Democrats? As for the Republicans,
about all we could expect from them is that they would conduct
hearings on the matter. Would our career-craving military brass
stand in his way? Would the media protest? They already serve as
Clinton's Propaganda Department.
It appears to me that the same majority of Americans who have
supported every corrupt and debauched action taken by this corrupt
and debauched man would continue to support him no matter what he
did. We have traded our morals for a burgeoning stock market, and we
have traded our faith in God for a boy who would be king.
