The Sins of a Nation

     I am not a prophet, but I will begin this article by using the words of a prophet; "Woe is me, I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell among a people of unclean lips". I want it known that I by no means do I consider myself to be seperate from the rest of America, but I already know that some will say that I'm unpatriotic because of what I'm about to write,but the truth is that I LOVE America more than those who would say that I don't must be said.
     They love to wrap themselves in the flag and speak high sounding words but have never given a day in the service of their country. These are the same people who send young men and women to fight wars, and when they come back confused and deformed, vote to cut off their menatl and physical health care benefits. These are also the same people who seek to use a foreigner's desire to become an American, as a reason to coerce them into the armed services to fight. But if there were no war, they wouldn't want them in the US armed services. These are the people who want to suppress some voters right to vote. The reason is because these people don't think the way they think. So they don't want their input into the political process. These are the people who fight to give tax breaks to corporations who take jobs away from American citizens so that they can ship them overseas. They fight to give tax breaks to energy corporations who make record profits every year, but want to cut social programs that help better the lives of our citizens. They claim that we need all the money the country can spare to fight numerous wars at the same time, but will not spend a dime to repair the infrastructure of this great country so that we can continue to be the world's leading ecenomy. They would rather give tax breaks to agribusiness farms that doesn't need any help, rather than helping those family farms struggling to stay afloat. They refuse to even consider to allow taxes to be raised on the wealthiest among us when they have more than they can spend in their lifetimes and their children's lifetimes and even their children's children's lifetimes, down to the nth generation. But they are willing to cut the country's budget so that teachers, policemen and firemen will lose their livelihoods. These are the people who are responsible for the security of our society.
      And now every citizen, every citizen, no matter what their circumstance, is about to be forced, by the highest in the land, to buy health insurance. This is a bill you will have to pay every month for the rest of your life! You can be sure of one thing if and when that happens; insurance rates will skyrocket and the service will become shoddy. In a society as wealthy as ours, health care should be a right. It is in every other industrialized nation in the world. But those who have gained control of this country refuse to help anyone but themselves. Does that sound like somebody who loves their country? Is there any equity (fairness) in our society
     Most in America consider the extent of our wrongs in this country to be child endangerment issue, sexual immorality and homosexual lifestyles. They believe that the worst thing we have done wrong is to take God out of school and to remove the phrase "in God we trust" from American currency. The truth of the matter is these issues only scratch the surface of our country's illnesses. The problem is that "God has been removed from the HEARTS of those who claim to believe in Him". Jesus said "this people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me". I had not thought to bash the religious right, but they are the ones in conservative circles who claim to know spiritual principles, to know the Lord Jesus and who use high and lofty religious language. I wonder if they ever read II Chronicles 7:14. They pray in public and evoke the name of the Lord with such fervor. But in the next breath they spit vinegar and poison with just as much vigor as they did fervor a minute ago. And when you look at what they ACTUALLY stand for instead what they SAY they stand for, you'll see a difference in their words and their actions. I've often heard, and believe that actions speak louder than words, so I'll let the reader be judge if what I'm saying is true.
      The sins of our nation are about to overtake us, and it's our own fault. We have allowed the wrong people to gain control of our country, much like Germany did before WWII in allowing the Nazis to control their country. And just like America came over the horizon three quarters of a century ago, there is another country rising, and rising fast, even as I write. That country is China. And the powers that be would love nothing better than to see China become the dominant world power. Why? because that's where the money is to be made, cheap labor and expansion room! America has outlived it's usefulness to them. So now, we are about to go the way of all the rest of the great former civilizations of the past. The only question is how will we go down? Will we arrogantly challenge a country that has four times our population or will we go quietly. God has blessed America with prosperity, but like His chosen of the Bible, we have turned our backs on him. When we have repented and fairness is returnd to our government and our lives, then will God bless America again
