That is what makes up a lifetime...a country...a people...
We choose our path and experience the consequence of that decision...
one after the other...minute by minute...
day by day...year by year...and on and on...
However, not everything in life is our choice,
but we still experience the consequence....
As far as we know,
We do not choose our parents, and with that,
We live with the genetic consequences, both good and bad.
Most of our lives consist of moments of time in which we choose...,
Instead they seem to be based on what we want...
It isn't a new idea by any means...there have always been those who CHOOSE to use power or circumstance to advance themselves or their agenda,
regardless of the consequences to be paid by others...
However...it does seem to be the calling card of recent generations...perpetuating a total degradation of society...
The Burger King mentality...I want it my way, and if it takes more than three and half minutes, some body's going to pay...God forbid you get my ORDER wrong...
Imagine if you will...
What this country would be if the founders did not have the patience and genius to create a land where they believed YOU were smart enough, good enough, and selfless enough to rule yourself...,
Thereby giving YOU the freedom to CHOOSE...
Not only what is best for yourself...but what is best for ALL...whether you are in full agreement or not.
A system where a group of people can agree to disagree, and still through compromise and civil debate agree on what is best for ALL.
Imagine how difficult creating such a system must have been...the CHOICES and decisions to be made, with the ultimate consequences to be borne on all...
At that moment, it would have been easy to CHOOSE this...
they knew it wasn't the 'right' thing for ALL...
So the founders and their families CHOSE to fight...
Less than one hundred years later,
a people...a country..., understood that the words of the founders were profound and were to be lived as written...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
They realized that we had strayed too far from these truths,
and CHOSE the hard road of correction,
That CHOICE resulted in the creation of the new "Republican" party...and it's first Republican president...
between those who saw the slaves as a commodity to be traded and sold,
“The Republicans inculcate, with whatever ability they can, that the Negro is a man, that his bondage is cruelly wrong, and that the field of his oppression ought not to be enlarged. The Democrats deny his manhood; deny, or dwarf to insignificance the wrong of his bondage; so far as possible, crush all sympathy for him, and cultivate and excite hatred and disgust against him; compliment themselves as Union-savers for doing so; and call the indefinite spreading of his bondage 'a sacred right of self-government.' "
-Abraham Lincoln
That CHOICE would lead to every single Slave owner being a registered Democrat by 1861.
The Democrats would then commit treason, and attack Fort Sumter,
That CHOICE resulted in 365,000 northern Republican
non-slave state, UNION deaths that would ultimately emancipate the slaves...
These people could have CHOSE differently...
Instead they CHOSE what was right...
Democratic President Andrew Jackson CHOSE to sign the
'Indian Removal Act' of 1830...
Democratic President Woodrow Wilson CHOSE to imprison over 6,000 non-nationalised Germans in internment camps,
He CHOSE to RE-SEGREGATE Federal government offices,
and he CHOSE to SEGREGATE the military.
When confronted by William Monroe Trotter, a black man who was a Wilson supporter and equal rights advocate, President Wilson CHOSE his words carefully and was quoted to say...
'Segregation is not humiliating, but a benefit...and your manner offends me...'- Woodrow Wilson, Nov. 12, 1914.
Democrat President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, CHOSE to appoint a Ku Klux Klansman, Senator Hugo Black (D-AL),
to the U.S. Supreme Court.
It was Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt who on February 19, 1942, CHOSE to sign executive order 9066,
But it would be REPUBLICAN President Dwight D. Eisnehower that would be the first President to CHOOSE to appoint an African American to an executive position in the Whitehouse...
President Eisnehower was the first president since the civil war to CHOOSE to meet in the Whitehouse with black civil rights leaders.
It was REPUBLICAN President Eisenhower who in 1957 CHOSE to push the Civil Rights Act in Congress,
Only to be blocked..., ironically..,
by then Senate Majority leader...Lyndon Johnson.
In fact it was President Eisenhower who would CHOOSE to sign the FIRST Civil Rights Act of 1960 on May 6, 1960.
Did you KNOW that ???
However, it would be Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson, the same man who CHOSE to 'block' it six years earlier.., who would later get the 'priveledge' and recognition of signing the Civil Rights Act in 1964.
And yet historians and teachers have CHOSEN to omit these facts from history books as well as lessons,
and even though Dr. Martin Luther King CHOSE be a Republican,
and his assassin, James Earl Ray CHOSE to be a George Wallace Democrat...
It is the Democratic Party that CHOSE to proclaim itself the 'white mans party',
and CHOSE to foster and enforce the Jim Crow laws,
Even in the face of these indisputable facts...
The African-American population still CHOOSES to consistently vote..., 90% of the time...DEMOCRATIC...
Today we face some equally challenging and directional CHOICES...
After the attacks of September 11, 2001...
the stock market crashed to the low 8,000's.
But under a Republican Congress and a Republican President, the economy rallied to just under 13,000 at the end of 2006,
and continued to an all-time record high of 14,200 in Oct. 2007.
According to AAA, gas was selling as low as $1.99 a gallon in some parts of the country in early 2006...
The national unemployment rate was at an inconceivable 4.6% in 2006.
Yet somehow the American voters were convinced that the Bush administration was evil...
Bush and his 'big oil' corporate cronies were accused of getting rich off the 'high' gas prices..,of $1.99 a gallon.
Unemployment was out of control..,at a whopping 4.6 %
The Bush administration was accused of deceiving the American people, and had involved us in an unjust war for oil...even though they had U.N. approval after 10 years of Iraqi U.N. violations...,
The 'Coalition of the Willing' comprised of over 30 U.N. nations, and unanimous Congressional approval.
After six years of unmatched blameless hardships,
the Progressive machine convinced the people to CHOOSE a Democratic Congress...
To be led by...
and this man....
In 2008, we as a people had a CHOICE between somebody who spent their young life here...
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American Flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing. "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails..., perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments.
When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside . I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path..My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "
The people were fooled into CHOOSING change...
With no clear definition of what 'change' meant...
Evidently the 'change' people CHOSE actually meant that after almost 5 years of a Democratic controlled Congress, the nation would struggle with an unemployment rates at 9.5%
Listen to this reasoning as he is confronted by the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS in late 2005 at the end of this vid...
Gas prices at an ALL time high...
without Congressional approval...OVER OIL...
It is about oil...On March 28, Obama Administration Treasury Department official made it clear that Libyan rebels would not be subject to U.S. sanctions regarding the sale of Libyan oil..."The rebels are not part of the government of Libya. They are not subject to the sanctions," the official said.
If it was about 'humanitarian' issues...we would (and should) be taking care of the 'humanitarian' issue in Mexico
Or maybe distributing 'humanitarian' force in the Ivory Coast, where a 'humanitarian' crisis is already underway..,
One President Chose this as his goal...
Which side of history do you CHOOSE to be on ???
CHOICES...Like elections have consequences...
About 70 years ago the map of the world was changing...
Today we can see that same map of the world...its just on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea...
That ALL these people,
From 14 different countries, 'coincidently' decided at the same time, that NOW is the time 'rise up' for 'democracy'...
All within 4 months of each other ?
There is more here than meets the eye...
This is the same tactic used 70 years ago,
It is where and when 'progressivism', 'social justice', and
'national socialism', was born...
Only now they have changed the words to protect the guilty...as they use the terms 'social justice' and
'democracy' as propaganda tool to achieve their totalitarian ends.
I'll ask you...you've heard the cries for 'democracy' from these 'uprisings',
Of the 14 countries on that map,
With their 'new' governments...
How many have resulted in democracy ???
Remember, as FDR wallowed in the stew of progressive Fascism that was the 'New Deal', we remained detached from the WWII, we watched from the sidelines as Hitlers National Socialist (NAZI)agenda of 'social justice', and Mussolini's Fascism swept across Europe like a wildfire...
While a progressive Democrat, FDR stood in front of the American people and said in his first inaugural address ...
"If we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to SACRIFICE for the GOOD of A COMMON DISCIPLINE. We are, I know, ready and WILLING to SUBMIT our LIVES and PROPERTY to such discipline, BECAUSE IT MAKES POSSIBLE A LEADERSHIP WHICH AIMS AT A LARGER GOOD.'
Sound familiar ??
What CHOICE will this generation make...
Show me your friends...
How many people in that picture are leader who have CHOSE to be Allies with these flags ???...
"I will stand with them (Muslims)...
-Barack Obama...'The Audacity of Hope'...pg. 261
Or does that picture show a leader who CHOSE to befriend the Hamas controlled Palestinian government,
Who then held telethons, to collect money for Obamas' presidential campaign...
Does it show a President who CHOSE to return the favor when he BORROWED $400 million American tax dollars and pledged it to Hamas ruled Palestine...
Does the leader the people have CHOSEN seem to be making the same CHOICES you would ???
Has he proven to CHOOSE to surround himself with the administration YOU would CHOOSE ???
At the close of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, what type of government the Constitution was bringing into existence. Franklin replied...,
"A REPUBLIC, if you can keep it."
Notice none of the 'rebels', are 'seeking' a 'Republic'...
They are crying out for a 'democracy'...
Democracy declared by sharia or socialists is not what YOU define 'democracy' as...
to these groups it is majority rule...or mob rule...
"They don't subscribe to our sense of morality; they don't believe in an afterlife; they don't believe in a God or religion. And the only morality they recognize, therefore, is what will advance the cause or socialism."
— Ronald Reagan
In a Republic the majority of the people elect the representatives that are to follow and make certain the Government, of the people, for the people and by the people, ADHERES to the laws and rights of the Constitution...which apply to ALL equally...
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free...
Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment....
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth." — Ronald Reagan
Which side of history does it LOOK like we will be on ???
Which side of history do you FEEL like we are on ???
In the last election cycle...one of the most active in many years, 61% of all eligible voters actually voted...
almost 40% of the population DID NOT VOTE...
In the life of a 'Republic'...elections, like CHOICES have consequences...
If you CHOOSE not to decide...
You still have made a CHOICE...
