Dear Mr. Government

Dear Mr. Government,

Americans understand that you think you’re clever, as you systematically usurp our constitutional form of government. The truth is, most Americans despise you and resent the way you feverishly work to keep us divided as you line your pockets, and attempt to blind us from your crimes against humanity. You try to dumb us down with psychological propaganda because you believe the vast majority of us are too stupid to understand what’s at stake as you go about the work of selling out our country to the highest bidder.  It makes perfect sense that you would think we’re stupid; after all, you have been in control of public education for several decades. Rest assured, we are not as stupid as you think we are. For instance, we know that the average Republican was paid a sum of over $17,000 to pass the Trans Pacific Partnership Treaty while the average Democrat received over $9,000. Did you take bribes to pass the Iran nuclear deal as well? Will you completely sell out the U.S. Constitution for a few thousand dollars? Most of us wonder how you live with yourselves despite the fact that you think you’re fooling us.

The debt you have incurred against our children’s future is reckless, and certainly guarantees a future of serfdom, yet, the work you do, paid by the fruits of our labor mind you, ensures that you will not suffer the consequences of your own treachery.  You mock us and make us despise one another as you suck this system dry like a fat tick refusing to let go of a dogs hide.  You create wealth envy, dropping human kind to the lowest common denominator while you redistribute our hard earned wealth to fund your own political aspirations. In the mean time, your careless policies create real suffering as our standard of living drops. Families weekly pay checks are stretched to the max as you tell us inflation is at three percent but our weekly grocery bill is rapidly increasing. Yet somehow, you have the audacity to tell us increasing the debt ceiling will fix it. Have you no shame?

Today, roughly a millionyoung men and women suffer needlessly from physical and mental injuries incurred from a war that you sent them to fight. These young Americans put their faith in your words, as your lies convinced them they were being sent to fight for freedom and the American way. You sent them to commit murder in your name and now you sell out the country you told them they should be proud to fight for? You told them they needed to go over there and fight so we wouldn’t have to fight them here; yet, they are now demanding we change our culture to suit them because of your lack of a spine. Where is your willingness to stand and fight for something you sent others to die for? You are cowards. You allow a radical president and his administration to label the troops you sent to fight as “right wing extremists.”  You allow them to call patriots and Christian’s threats to national security as you fail to call out the actions of real radicals who murder police and incite racial tension.  May I remind you that silence is consent? May I remind you that all evil needs to gain a foothold is for good men to do nothing? The biggest problem we face is a lack of good men.

President Obama recently vetoed a defense spending bill and then had the audacity to put troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria. You have remained silent while President Obama has been deliberately arming terrorists in order to topple Bashar al-Asaad in Syria. You sit back while he floods our nation with people who are hostile to our way of life while committing crimes against our citizens. You sit silently as Obama promises to release tens of thousands of criminals into the streets while at the same time seeking to disarm law abiding, taxpaying American citizens. This makes you complicit in the act of treason.

You may think that we are not paying attention. You may believe that we are too stupid to understand the complexities of what happens in Washington D.C. I am here however; to tell you this, there are none so stupid as those who believe they can commit these crimes and get away with it. God will not be mocked, and whether you believe or not, you will be held accountable for your treachery. Your actions are in direct conflict with the promises you made earning you contempt from voters, not loyalty or respect. The consequences of your actions and your failure to stand will be yours and yours alone.

Feminism and the Destruction of the Nuclear Family From My Upcoming Book: Psychpolitics: A Nation Gone Psycho

 Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. [1]

The above statement is listed in the 45 goals of the communist party to take over the United States. As mentioned before, these goals were entered into the congressional record in 1963, after it was revealed that there was extensive communist infiltration into our government.  Today, many sources are claiming that this list is a hoax; however, the results of such goals are self evident in our society, and one area where this is particularly true; is the nuclear family.  Our families have literally been destroyed and for many reasons. Today, it is virtually impossible for the average family to raise their children without both parents working, providing the family has two parents. Divorce runs rampant in our society as nearly forty one percent of first marriages are likely to end.[2] It should also be noted that marriage itself is in a decline, less people are getting married due to several factors such as poor economic prospects and a society that is less involved in religious institutions[3]. Religion has always been one of the strongest advocates for marriage, so, the more successful the attempts to discredit religion, the more successful the attempts to break up families will be. According to Pew Research Center[4], 26 percent of today’s younger people, ages 18-32 are likely to tie the knot, compared to  sixty five percent in the 1960’s, forty eight percent in the baby boomer generation, and thirty six percent among the so called generation x crowd.

These numbers reflect not only changes in marriage rates, but an overall shift in American values. The nuclear family once held the bedrock of society together as it was understood that this was the most basic unit of self governance, which was the fundamental principle essential for liberty in the United States. With strong marriages headed by mothers and fathers, family units were solely responsible for the upbringing and education of children. This was based on the idea that men and women had equal but separate roles to play in raising and nurturing families, and this represented the true meaning of freedom to our founding fathers.[5] In fact, the concept driving marriage was based on a collective, as opposed to an, “individualistic” approach to forming society.

Coverture represents the idea that married couples form a community of interest that the married couple freely joins and that protects all members of the family better than alternatives can. It reflects equality because it is freely chosen by men and women; it protects consent because the parties think the community of love and interest protects their lives, liberty, and property. Such laws show that marriage as a union is to be exclusive and, except in extreme cases, permanent.[6]

Today, the idea of equality has drastically changed and this is having drastic effects on the family structure as well as the well being of children. The studies proving that children need both a mother and a father are numerous [7]as are the studies showing the disadvantages that growing up in single parent homes have on children. For instance, children in two parent homes are more likely to live longer healthier lives, more likely to graduate high school and attend college, are less likely to live in poverty, are less likely to get into trouble with the law, less likely to do drugs, less likely to be sexually active and are more likely to get married and raise healthy families.[8] Keeping this knowledge in mind, it is not hard to draw correlations between the declining marriage rates to the state of society today, with the high crime rates, poor academic performance in many schools and over all disrespect for society that seems to run rampant among many younger people.

The American left seems to have an entire different vision of America’s traditional family structure. To them, the family is an oppressive institution of patriarchal dominance. One where the women are oppressed and forced in a world where she is reduced to nothing more than a house keeper doing the work that is needed to be done by everyone else. She is prohibited from pursuing her own dreams as she spends the day washing clothes, vacuuming, cooking for her husband and tending to the children’s needs. The idea that this is an arrangement freely agreed upon, and that the work being done is pursued in the best interest of children is nonexistent to the left as they go about the work of discrediting the family as an institution. Where did these ideas come from? How did a nation that once espoused the traditions of the nuclear family, a nation that understood its importance in securing the blessings of liberty, become one of declining marriages and less respectful of the values that traditional family life once taught? Obviously there is communist influence here, but more notably, it is the work of Betty Friedan and her creation of the feminist movement.

Author of the book, “The Feminist Mystique,”[9] Friedan lays the ground work for what would become the modern feminist movement where women demand total equality with men and the idea that men and women play separate but equal roles in raising children is all but dead. In fact, the idea of motherhood itself has become a form of oppression to modern feminists as the idea of taking responsibility not only for personal actions, but for the life of another has become the underlying theme in today’s abortion rights movement. The Feminist perspective has not only destroyed the traditional family, it has contributed to over downfall of society as feminists generally blame men for all of the world’s problems while seeking to dethrone them from all legitimate seats of power. In fact, many may argue that there is an overall effort to feminize men because it is believed that the hormone testosterone is responsible for much of what the feminists would claim is wrong with the world.  The very first paragraph in chapter one of Friedan’s book says it all. Freidan writes-

The problem lay buried, unspoken for many years in the minds of American women. It was a strange stirring, a sense of dissatisfaction, a yearning that women suffered in the middle of the twentieth century in the United States. Each suburban wife struggled with it alone. As she made the beds, shopped for the groceries, matched slip cover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured cub scouts and brownies, lay beside her husband at night- she was afraid to ask of herself the silent question—“Is this all?” [10]

In that paragraph alone Friedan attempts to portray the life of an American housewife as an oppressed victim forced into a life of servitude. She goes on to give the impression that all housewives in America feel the same as they desire to go out and become politicians, scientists, businesswomen and live lives free from the bondage of motherhood, and serving the men that dominate them. Remember, to our founding fathers marriage represented the entering of an agreed upon contract where it was understood that men and women both brought to the table qualities and attributes that were essential to the raising of children and creating successful, responsible communities. This represented God’s design as it is difficult to argue that men and women are indeed created differently. Women are obviously designed to give birth and many would argue that they bring to the table a more delicate, loving touch to raising children then men do. On the other hand, men seem to have the quality of bringing discipline and teaching the hard learned lessons in life. This is why the nuclear family has been traditionally viewed in American society as the bed rock of self governance; men and women entering into a mutually agreed upon contract carrying out the work that was once believed to be Gods original intent for man. When men and women marry, bringing together their separate but equal abilities, they become one unit in the eyes of God, they become one flesh. The Feminist movement has destroyed this concept.

Today, modern feminists carry out the work of Friedan by insisting that society still revolves around the male and his never ending list of privileges. In nearly all aspects of our culture you can find a group of feminists rallying around a cause, blaming the man for some, misperceived inequality, or some form of injustice committed against women simply because of their genitalia. One of the tactics of the communist left is to continually insist that the “right wing” is waging a war on women, trying to keep them down, barefoot and pregnant, and that it is our traditional view of the agreed upon contract of marriage that is oppressing them.  The truth however, is the exact opposite. So called right wing conservatives appreciate women for  the qualities they bring to the table, qualities in many cases, especially when it comes to caring for children, men often lack. Men cherish women and think they are deserving of special treatment. It is the never ending, impossible quest of total equality that is the real oppressor of women and equal rights. Women are not designed like men, plain and simple. By ignoring this one fact, that there are simply different attributes that men and women were designed with, the left is forcing women as a collective group, into a role that the majority of them may very well fall short on.  Society would be much better off if men were allowed to be men and women were allowed to be women. The true equality of the sexes would shine through as everyone is operating in the so called “gender roles” they were assigned.

To properly understand the feminist view, and the idea that gender is a social construct as opposed to a deliberate design created by God, it must be understood that feminists are operating from a Marxist, or Communist point of view. They simply do not believe in God, or rather; they may view God as the Patriarchal being that represents the oppression they claim to be fighting against. After all, feminism seems to be going about the work of totally remaking society in their image. They argue that gender is a social construct, separate from the fact that men and women are biologically different, and that this social construct was created to justify the subjugation of women.  Freya Brown writes in her essay, “On the Social Construction of Sex,”[11] that the idea of sex being a biological difference is patriarchal in nature and in order to break from this oppressive mindset a Marxist approach is needed.

At the end of the day, the sex/gender dichotomy is part of patriarchal ideology, and it is an idea that we need to break with in favor of a theory which is revolutionary and Marxist in character. The purpose of the present article is to provide an initial counter to the idea that sex assignment is “just biology.” A properly Marxist theory of sex will be more thoroughly explored in part two. Freya Brown-“On the Social Construction of Sex”

In today’s world the idea of gender being a social construct is being pushed to its ultimate limits. In the end, this is the problem when it comes to gender based equality and not the solution. The results of this backwards ideology are creating a world where sickness in the name of equality is the rule. For example, in many parts of the country the idea of having separate bathrooms for men and women is starting to be viewed from this “gender is a social construct” theory. For example, San Francisco elementary schools are forcing boys and girls to use the same bathroom because at that age, claims the school district, children choose to be transgender, or rather, tomboys.[12]  As of 2013, the entire state of California adopted laws that allow children to use bathrooms and locker rooms not based on their biological sex, but rather the sex they choose to identify with.[13]  Furthermore, the law allows both boys and girls to join sports teams not based on sex, but the sex they decide to feel like. How does this idea promote true freedom and not represent oppression? A young girl that decides she ought to be able to play football on the boys team is not only setting herself up for disappointment if they are unable to perform to the standard, she is also creating the conditions where boys will be unable to live up to their fullest potential because a drop in standards will be required in order for the girl who claims to feel like a boy to be able to play on an equal footing.  This is oppression of the highest order if you think about it. The same is true if a boy decides to feel like a girl and uses the girl’s restroom. Just because this is now the law it does not mean that girls will automatically feel comfortable with boys invading their space and being present while they shower, change clothes and use the bathroom. This represents nothing but a sick, twisted remaking of society in the image of people who hold an anti-God view of the world.  This is the same mentality affecting our military as well.  As the debate heats up on whether women should be able to join combat units, no one is stopping to consider the real affects this may have on society.  While it is certainly true that there are women out there who may very well be capable of performing to the same standards of men, the majority of women cannot, and to allow all women to serve in combat roles for the sake of achieving “total equality” threatens to lessen standards of performance while putting lives in danger.  For instance, an article published by the website Western Journalism by female marine Jude Eden [14] highlights some of the problems of believing that women are just as capable of men serving in the combat zone. She highlights facts such as women losing half of their strength before a menstrual cycle, making them virtually incapable of enduring the rigors of combat that men are capable of dealing with. She also highlights a fact that the left, believing in Darwinism as they do, should understand very well. Once you put men and women together there is going to be sex. She mentioned the fact that once the U.S. Navy allowed women to serve on ships, problems of pregnancy, relationships, and unwanted sexual advances became prevalent, detracting from the mission of defending the nation. These are but a few examples; however, it should be noted that because men generally view women as needing protecting, it is highly likely that men would put their own lives in danger, abandoning the mission to protect women.

To believe that equality is something that needs to be forced by government as opposed to something that is already an inherent quality given by God only serves to further oppress women, not liberate them. Whether the left likes it or not, men and women are created different, with different purposes. Nothing will change the fact that biologically women are created to give birth, that is the purpose of the design. The left, through their anti God, Marxist view will never be able to change that, and by attempting to do so they are serving to destroy the family structure as women are being made to feel that there is something more fulfilling than raising responsible, compassionate children ready to contribute to society. It is highly likely, looking at the work of Freidan and her political leanings that this is all being done on purpose with the deliberate intent of destroying the family. This isn’t to say that women shouldn’t be able to pursue careers; however, instead of teaching women how oppressed they are perhaps they should look at the effects children suffer when both men and women decide that careers are more important.

The immoral, selfish act of gun control By David Risselada

Recently, there have been some college professors, who lean way to the left of course, writing some interesting opinions on the Second Amendment and gun ownership in America.  Attacks on the Second Amendment are increasing in intensity, and the right to keep and bear arms is literally, hanging on a thread.  The left despises gun ownership among American citizens and their arguments for gun control essentially explain their morality. For instance, Coppin State University teacher, D. Watkins, believes that gun owners should have to take a bullet in order to purchase a gun. This ridiculous statement demonstrates that liberals aren’t really anti-gun; rather, they hate conservatives who own them. He claims that if this rule would be implemented mass shootings would decrease. This is a perfect example of the backward thinking of the left.  As much as he claims to hate guns, in a sick, twisted way he is also acknowledging the argument we as conservatives make. He is admitting that it takes a gun to stop a gun, only in this case, he claims to be the good guy. Another professor, Adam Winkler  (@adamwinkler) of UCLA School of law, recently wrote that the secret weapon the left has against gun ownership is the mass immigration taking place in the United States. He gleefully writes that as soon as the white majority is gone, the Second Amendment will be no more. This is typical left-wing thinking as he is probably a proponent of the “white privilege” ideology.  Winkler is an alleged constitutional law professor specializing in subjects like gun control incidentally. To argue that the end of the white man and the changing demographics in America will end the Second Amendment is akin to having a death wish because even the FBI admits that ISIS is recruiting in the United States.

Liberals fail to see the hypocrisy and immorality of their gun control arguments because they do not view mankind the way that conservatives do. Those on the left tend to lean towards the Marxist/Darwinian view of man, while conservatives generally cling to our Judeo-Christian world view as we bitterly grasp our guns. Liberals do not believe that mankind is capable of self-governance, which demonstrates total hypocrisy because they disregard God in favor of humanism which teaches that man is the “end all be all” in the universe. They don’t really believe in what they preach because if they did, they would not believe men to be incapable of the type of responsibility required for gun ownership. Their true belief rests in the idea that men need to be controlled from cradle to grave because we are not capable of making our own decisions. Conservatives on the other hand, believe that all people are capable of self-governance and taking responsibility for their actions, even though our religion teaches we are all sinners. This is why we blame the individual for mass shootings and liberals blame the gun, to them, we are incapable of assuming responsibility.

The left always acts on emotion, and in many ways, our school systems are training our children to react emotionally to crisis situations; thus training them to be future gun control advocates. Many of our high school textbooks are taking the liberty of rewriting the Second Amendment, thus, training our children to believe that only government should decide who owns guns.  They fail to remember that it was the government that was responsible for the mass murder of over 100,000,000 people throughout the twentieth century; mass murder that was committed after gun confiscation incidentally.

The immorality and selfishness in arguing for gun control is unconscionable as the left never considers the potential cost in human life that could come with gun confiscation.  To suggest that police and/or soldiers be responsible for going door to door to confiscate weapons not only demonstrates a selfish, deep-rooted, irrational fear; it also demonstrates an inability to take personal responsibility. They believe that it is the role of the police to keep people safe; however, this is not the case. Individuals are responsible for their own protection. This is according to a supreme court ruling by the way. In June 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that police do not have a constitutional obligation to put themselves in harm’s way to protect another individual. Thank God that many of our men in blue feel a personal obligation to do so; however, they are not legally obligated to risk their lives for anyone.  Personal safety is the personal responsibility of the individual, and to expect others to put themselves in harm’s way, because of an irrational fear of firearms, is incredibly selfish.

Members of the military and police officers swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Asking people to break that oath and do something that goes against their will is an immoral act; especially considering the fact that in many cases they will be moving against families that may share the same beliefs as their own. Face it; there are nearly ninety million gun owners, if not more. In a nation of 320,000,000, that’s more than one in every three Americans. This means that we are all likely related to someone who supports the Second Amendment, and asking police and military to confiscate weapons is like asking them to turn against their own families. That is what Adolph Hitler, Mao Tse –Tung, Joseph Stalin, and other totalitarian dictators did. Turn families against each other in order to break down society. Is this really the driving motivation behind the calls for gun control?

We all know that gun control isn’t about keeping society safe, it’s about control. The left acts as if they are on a moral high ground by calling for stricter gun laws; however, considering the fact that all mass shootings happen in places where law-abiding citizens, people who should otherwise have the right to protect themselves, have been disarmed, (gun free zone) their argument lacks a moral base because it actually causes more death. In this article the hypocrisy of the left's moral argument was exposed as was the fact that personal safety is the responsibility of the individual. To strip that responsibility and expect someone else to assume it is the highest level of immorality and hypocrisy. Can you think of any leftist agenda that is moral?

Destroying God in the minds of Men By David Risselada

One of the long, sought after goals of Marxism is to break man of his belief in a higher power; to separate his soul from God if you will. This is admitted by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto, and later by Vladimir Lenin when he said that Catholicism was the greatest threat to world Communism. Communism depends on the idea that people will accept subservience to the state, and that government should be in control of all aspects of society. When man places his faith in God this type of social control becomes impossible because God is looked to for guidance, and it is understood that man exists for the purpose of serving God.  Along with this comes the idea that man is born with inherent rights and responsibilities that are given to us by our creator, and that these rights are inalienable, meaning they cannot be taken by man. For these reasons, any man seeking to impose his will onto others must first separate them from their faith. Throughout the past century, man has slowly been conditioned to believe in science as opposed to God, and religion itself has been slowly but surely removed from the public square. The further our society drifts from God, the more chaotic our society and uncertain our future; thus opening the doors for the type of social control dictators seek to impose on us.

Science is going to great lengths to disprove the existence of God. As a college student, I was given an assignment in Intro to Psychology in which I was asked to write a paper on how the so called “God gene” could prove that God doesn’t exist. The God Gene, according to Dean Hamer, author of the book “The God Gene: How Faith is Hard Wired into our Genes,” is what is responsible for driving people’s religious faith. Hamer is a molecular geneticist, who believes that when people have feelings they relate to faith or spirituality, it is actually the gene VMAT2 that is responsible, and not a connection with God. He came to this conclusion by finding the gene to be more prevalent among people who were likely to feel some sort of religious or spiritual enlightenment.  He also claims that the presence of this gene is like intelligence, and that it can skip generations; meaning that growing up in a strong religious family will have little to do with whether one is a believer or not.  In response to the assignment given me, I argued that it made perfect sense that there would be a hard wired mechanism in our brains that drove our belief in God because God would have put it there to ensure that we could be aware of his presence; seemed simple enough at the time. Intro to Psychology is also the class where students are likely to be introduced to concepts like moral relativism, along with operant and classical conditioning. Psychology itself is an anti God profession as it rests on premise that all human behavior can be categorized and predicted, and, that people can be conditioned to behave in predictable ways.

There have been tremendous advancements made in neuroscience, (the study of the brain and behavior) and the more progress that is made in this field, the more that is learned about controlling human behavior, based on the understanding of the brains functioning. Recently, scientists from Britain’s University of York sought to use a technique that is gaining popularity in the treating of depression to see how they could alter a person’s belief system. The technique, known as transcranial magnetic stimulation, was used to target the posterior medial frontal cortex (PMFC) of thirty nine college students to measure changes in belief systems when faced with threats. It is generally accepted that the threat of death or other physical harm will cause the brain to respond with religious beliefs in order to bring comfort. Students who were given a high dose of the magnetic stimulation that temporarily shut down the PMFC, were then given questions pertaining to their own deaths, and according to those conducting the study, more than thirty percent fewer people expressed a belief in God. These researchers deliberately set out to research how this magnetic stimulation could affect the way people view God, and that is a scary thought considering that Communists wish to destroy religion. Perhaps they are closer to destroying God in the minds of men than many realize.

In my article, “The role of media in conditioning the masses,” I discussed the effects that watching long hours of television can have on the brain. For example; television can actually shut down parts of our brain that are responsible for critical thought processes and activate the region that is more responsible for the primitive, reactionary processes. The left side of the brain is responsible for cognitive processes, and while watching television, this portion of the brain shuts down, leading to the production of opiates, (the same type of chemicals that produce the sensation of being high found in heroin) while at the same time, the part of the brain responsible for emotional response is absorbing the information from the television; thus making it impossible to discern reality from what is being watched.  With all of today’s high tech gadgetry, and the number of hours typically spent consumed by it, is it possible that the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques could be applied through our cell phones, computers and televisions? I would argue, given the sophistication, and rapid advancement of neuroscience, along with science’s never ending quest to disprove God, that if it isn’t happening now, the revelations discovered by the University of York scientists will soon find their way into our living rooms.

Remembering Freedom and Learning Responsibility By David Risselada

I remember growing up on the west side of Michigan. A little town called Holland, right on the coast of Lake Michigan actually. I can't honestly say I grew up as a happy child; I lived the majority of my younger years not having a clue what it felt like to be loved by parents. How that came to be is for another time but I sure can tell you one thing, I remember what it was like to be free. To be free at heart is what makes youth so precious, and boy was I ever free. Of course, back in the early 1980's in a small town like Holland there was little to worry about. Today the city is like any other where parents don't let their kids out of their sight for fear of a child molester stalking them. Gangs have become a problem just like anywhere else and the state of Michigan in general has been battered by failed liberal economic policies. Regardless, I often find myself longing for that unrestrained freedom that came from a ten speed bike, a walkman and a fishing pole.

During the summer, I would awaken at zero dark thirty and get on my Schwinn ten speed with a tackle box in one hand and a rod and reel in the other. I would ride the few miles to get to my grandfather's barn that was next to the trail that led down to the stream that fed into the lake. Lake Macatawa was actually the Black River and it fed right out into Lake Michigan. At the end of the trail was a little row boat and I would row myself out into Lake Mac and fish all day by myself, and I was only eleven years old. I never caught a thing, but I didn't care. I was free.

If I wasn't fishing, then I would ride into town and spend the five dollars I had earned from mowing a neighbor's lawn. For me, those five dollars were enough for a new model battleship or maybe a new 45 record. The music of the 80's was something else. Prince and the Revolution was my favorite band. Because I had worked for that money, I understood its value, something that is seemingly lacking from many of today's younger people. Come to think of it there was rarely a time in my teen years when I didn't have a job. All throughout high school I worked as a dishwasher and I can honestly tell my children about walking to work in three feet of snow as one of these restaurants was about two miles from home, and I didn't have a car. Plus, I enjoyed the walk. Honestly there was hardly a time when I relied on someone else to get to where I was going. It was either my ten speed or my concrete Cadillac's that got me from point A to point B. Even when I found myself on probation for getting into some trouble with the law, I walked from one end of town to the other to see my probation officer. Do you know what the best thing about that was? I was free to take responsibility for myself on those long six mile walks. It made for some great time to reflect on where I stood in life.

Looking back at that time I can honestly say that I understood a great deal more than what most people do at that age. I understood the significance of being free and I was proud to live in the United States of America. I don't know how I understood, but even in elementary school I found myself reading books about WWII and the Nazis, and back then it was still O.K. to say that we had won the war. It was O.K. to say God Bless America. Maybe I learned my patriotism from my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Moose, who was also a reservist in the U.S. Coast Guard. Mr. Moose brought us on a field trip to the Coast Guard station and he taught us about honor and duty to one's country. He carried with him a sense of pride and his demeanor demanded respect. There are few teachers like him, if any, remaining today. Thank you Mr. Moose.

Of course my grandparents and a couple of Aunts deserve many thanks as well, as they insisted I take responsibility for myself by ensuring I suffered the consequences of my actions.

It's hard these days to find people younger than myself that carry any pride in their country, or who can recite any part of the constitution. I am forty two, and most young people I know need to have patriotism beaten into them with a steel rod. They seem to lack the sense of responsibility one earns for them self when they are left to their own devises. Living in the nanny state, there is no need for personal responsibility, as the government promises to make things fair for everyone. There is no need to try, as everyone is awarded a trophy because they showed up. Where is this mentality bringing us? The once rugged and determined spirit that defined the exceptional American has been replaced by generations of people who believe they are entitled to a portion of what someone else earns. We have reached a point where it is actually offensive and "oppressive" to think our own merits can carry us to our own successes. We have been effectually transformed from a nation of people who rose to the occasion to get the job done to a nation waiting for someone else to do it for us. People are no longer free to take responsibility for themselves.

Unfortunately, the concept that many fail to grasp is that personal responsibility is the epitome of the definition of freedom. To me it's a pretty simple concept, you either take responsibility or someone else will assume it for you. Once the government has taken responsibility for you the freedom to learn it yourself is all but gone. This is the message that conservatives need to embrace.

Behold a Pale Gun Confiscation Agenda David Risselada

Our nation continues to unravel at an alarming pace. We are now living in a society that seems devoid of all hope for the future as we continue to chug along on the fundamental transformation choo choo train promised by President Obama. To the average person who pays no attention to the fine details, America seems to be a place where mass violence occurs on a daily basis, white people are the most privileged in society and hateful of all other races, everyone is living under the brutal, unfair practices of a capitalistic society and America continues to rape the natural world for resources causing global warming. These false beliefs have caused the unwashed masses to demand change, and in many cases, as demonstrated by movements like Occupy Wall Street, the change they are demanding is socialism. This is what you get when a community organizer is elected president. The very purpose of community organizing is to whip up hate and discontent for the purpose of obtaining political power, period. It is a tactic that was finely tuned by none other than Saul Alinsky and executed perfectly by Barack Obama. The whole idea is to get people to lose hope and eventually accept things they normally wouldn’t. Is it possible that the same tactic is being used in the never ending fight against the second amendment? Can Americans be pushed to the point where they will willingly accept gun confiscation? Sadly, that is the agenda being employed against us and in true Alinsky form; the ends justify the means no matter what they are.

Community Organizing tactic called institutional deviance: To destroy the structure of apathy by stirring up dissatisfaction and discontent; disrupt existing complacent expectations, and breaking down the individualistic orientations of community residents.“The practice of Macro Social Work.” 

 Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. “Rules For Radicals”

 Affecting social change generally works on the principles defined in the Hegelian dialectic, which is otherwise known as the problem, reaction, solution strategy.  Those in power that are seeking change, deliberately cause problems in an effort to get the masses to demand the change they wish to implement. Looking at government today it is easy to argue that this strategy is being employed on a large scale as certain populations of people are deliberately left living in poverty while greedy politicians make promises they never keep. The end result is the continual demand that further government action be taken to solve the problem. On a larger scale yet, it could be theorized that the destruction of the economy was done on purpose so that it would be accepted as a necessary step to implement a communist economic system, which is the desired end by many in power. This is more than theory, this concept is highlighted quite well Richard Cloward’s and Frances Fox Piven’s “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to end Poverty.” Here, the argument is that the creation of an over bloated, unsustainable welfare state would crash the economy and force the government to provide a living wage for all. Looking at society today, it is safe to say that this is one application of the Hegelian Dialectic that is in full implementation phase.

Are we paying attention to all the warning signs?

Many people are fully aware that there is an agenda to implement full, Soviet style gun confiscation in America. With John Kerry illegally signing the U.N. Small Arms Treaty, many know that there is a day of reckoning coming where Americans will have to decide once and for all where they stand. The idea that many of these recent mass shootings could be “false flag”attacks against the second amendment is commonplace amongst many patriots and conspiracy theorists. Why shouldn’t it be? History proves that false flags are anything but conspiracy as our nation has engaged in several “false flag” style attacks that were used as justification to bring us into unwanted wars. Operation Northwoods comes to mind as does the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which was used to bring us into Vietnam incidentally. Northwoods was an operation where the Joint Chiefs of Staff were considering staging attacks against the American people, and then blaming it on Cuba because they wanted control of the Island.  In the Gulf of Tonkin, two American destroyers were said to be attacked by Vietnamese vessels, only, it never happened at all. It was a lie perpetrated by president Lyndon B. Johnson (D) used to start a war with North Vietnam. This was declassified in 2010. While events like these seem to give credibility to the idea that our seemingly never ending rash of mass shootings may be false flag events; the truth may have a more sinister twist on it. A Truth we may be contributing to ourselves, and it all revolves around another Alinsky style tactic.

 Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian Church can live up to Christianity. “Rules for Radicals”

 The left has an uncanny ability to politicize any issue and make it appear as if it is a huge problem that needs to be solved. As mentioned earlier, this is the tactic of community organizing. Anything we say or do as conservatives is fair game to the left as they twist every word and action in an effort to discredit and humiliate everything we believe in. Is it possible that the second amendment in which we fight for, is nothing but a political tool to the left, being used against us in a way many would never even imagine? The professional left gets away with many of the things they do because many people simply cannot comprehend the depths of their depravity. They do not understand the way that they view concepts like principles and morality. To the left morality itself, is just a concept construed in the minds of men to justify action. Principles are nothing more than excuses used to achieve a political goal. The left believes the highest level of morality is corrupting one’s self in order to achieve the political state of “Utopia.”

 In action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one’s individual conscience and the good of mankind. The choice must always be for the latter. Action is for mass salvation and not for personal salvation. He who sacrifices the mass good for his personal conscience has a peculiar concept of “personal salvation.” He doesn’t care enough for the people to be corrupted for them. “Rules for Radicals”

 This is the depraved mind of the left. They believe, based on their own opinions mind you, that they know what is best for society and they are willing to engage, as evidenced by the above statement, in corrupt practices in order to achieve their goal because they know what is best for us. This means that virtually anything is possible. When it comes to the second amendment, they are using it as a political weapon, and virtually everything we do in its defense becomes fuel for their agenda in labeling us as radicals, and “gun nuts” that care more about our rights than the lives of those taken in mass shooting incidents.  We all know that this is not the case because we would argue that all people have an inalienable right to defend their lives; and the true act of showing no compassion towards the lives of victims is passing laws that left them defenseless in the first place. The effectiveness of mass media combined with community organizing tactics generally whips up an emotional frenzy where people are unable to see the truth, and are coaxed into simply following along. Even if the people pushing for gun confiscation are actually in the minority, the use of media and propaganda on a grand scale can give the impression to the uninformed that there is a mass movement taking place. Remember, all it takes is a tireless, irate minority to affect social change.

 William Cooper was a radio talk show host and author of the book “Behold a Pale Horse.” His subjects included many of the same concerns conspiracy theorists share today including, one world government, population reduction, alien agendas and of course, gun confiscation. William cooper was killed in a shoot out with police in 2001 after the U.S. Marshall Service declared him a fugitive from justice over unpaid taxes. Cooper was of course convinced that the government had targeted him for his beliefs. While that can be left to pure speculation, the events that transpired at Waco and Ruby Ridge probably fueled his alleged paranoia. In chapter twelve of Behold a Pale Horse cooper writes of a government agenda where the proliferation of military style weapons would be deliberately allowed under the pretexts of the second amendment in an attempt to scare the masses into accepting gun confiscation. He wrote that with the use of drugs and hypnosis, people could be conditioned to perform these mass shooting events  by command, i.e. brainwashing, and that people would become so fed up with the constant exposure to violence they would literally demand their rights be taken away.

 "The government encouraged the manufacture and importation of military firearms for the criminals to use. This is intended to foster a feeling of insecurity, which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws against firearms. Using drugs and hypnosis on mental patients in a process called Orion, the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on schoolyards and thus inflame the antigun lobby. This plan is well under way, and so far is working perfectly. The middle class is begging the government to do away with the 2nd amendment.

 Author’s Note: I have found that these events have indeed happened all over the country. In every instance that I have investigated — the incident at the women’s school in Canada, the shopping center incident in Canada, the Stockton, California, massacre, and the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane — the shooters were all ex-mental patients or were current mental patients who were ALL ON THE DRUG PROZAC! This drug, when taken in certain doses, increases the serotonin level in the patient, causing extreme violence. Couple that with a posthypnotic suggestion or control through an electronic brain implant or microwave or E.L.F. intrusion and you get mass murder, ending in every case with the suicide of the perpetrator. Exhume the bodies of the murderers and check for a brain implant. I think you are going to be surprised. In every case the name of the murderer’s doctor or mental treatment facility has been withheld. I believe we will be able to establish intelligence-community connections and/or connections to known CIA experimental mind control programs when we finally discover who these doctors of death really are." William Cooper “Behold a Pale Horse” pp. 225

 Looking at the mass shootings we are witnessing today, they all tell the same story, a mentally disturbed person who is taking some type of mental health medication and the ease in which they are able to obtain firearms.  In all of the recent shootings there was a deliberate point on the part of the media, to reveal that the firearms were all legally purchased. This is an example of using our rules against us. We argue that background checks don’t work and that criminals will always be able to get guns. What the uniformed is seeing is a system that doesn’t prevent criminals from getting guns and the left deliberately uses that as an excuse to push for total confiscation.  For us it becomes almost a no win situation because the left can twist anything to fit their narrative, and as mentioned earlier, the more we fight for our gun rights, the more they are able to make us appear as if we are radicals. Don’t misunderstand; we must continue to fight for the second amendment because we all know what happens in gun confiscation scenarios.  We need to turn the narrative around and show it is those denying people the right to self defense that are the uncompassionate ones showing no value for human life. Fortunately this appears to be happening, and William Cooper’s predictions may turn out to be wrong. People are growing tired of the same old rhetoric by President Obama concerning gun control. There are enough incidents of gun use in self defense to prove beyond any doubt the insanity of gun free zones. Americans may be slow to awaken but they awaken nonetheless and they can see that no matter what gun control laws may be enacted, criminals won’t follow them. The left thinks we are stupid and frankly, if you don’t understand that all of these shootings occur where there already is gun control, then indeed you are.  Don’t give up the fight America, the left is counting on you tiring out when the real fight is about to begin.

Another Expected Shooting……..David Risselada

Another mass shooting in the United States creates yet another opportunity for our spineless president to push his left wing agenda. Riding on the backs of people needlessly murdered because of an irrational fear of allowing people to defend themselves, President Obama wastes no time and promises action on gun control.  Like all shootings preceding this one, today’s happened to occur in another “gun free zone” where targets of opportunity run abound.  According to Professor Eric Dietz of Purdue University, only two mass shootings since the 1950’s occurred in places where guns could be legally carried, the rest occurred where guns are banned. In recent years, every mass shooting we have witnessed tells the same story. An armed man completely ignores the “gun free zone” and is free to murder at will until a good guy with a gun comes and stops him.  Liberals would have you believe the good guy with a gun reality is a myth; however, if that’s the case then why do they rely on the police? What would have been so wrong if a person inside the school was carrying a legally concealed handgun? They could have saved lives. Even Obama’s FBI admits that an increase in gun ownership results in a decrease in crime. Why is the left so intent on preventing people from being able to defend themselves and their loved ones? Perhaps their undying support for Planned Parenthood holds the answer, but that’s for another article.

The New York Post is reporting that the shooter forced people to confess their religion before being murdered. Witnesses are claiming that he was exclusively killing Christians and according to those who survived the event, the shooter was lining his victims up and shooting them in the head execution style after they claimed Christianity as their religion. This is exactly what we have been expecting in this country as this traitorous administration has usurped our constitutional system of government and handed the reigns over to those who hate us. President Obama and the Democrat Party have been deliberately demoralizing our nation by stirring up racial hatred, labeling patriots, Christians and veterans as potential threats to national security and blaming us for every problem in the world. He has deliberately released criminals back on the streets and armed Mexican Drug Cartels to discredit the second amendment. He allowed our service men and an Ambassador to be killed in Benghazi and according to Vladimir Putin; he has deliberately armed ISIS in an effort to topple the Assad Regime. A move that may not only lead to world war three incidentally, but is part of the original plan described in the Project New American Century first put into play by the Bush Administration. Despite scandal after scandal he has the nerve to stand in front of God and Country and demand gun control. Some people have a lot of nerve.

President Obama has the audacity to ask why this shooting occurred while claiming that we are becoming numb to this kind of violence. This is coming from a man who pretends to care for the down trodden but threatened a government shutdown because the people are demanding Planned Parenthood be defunded.  A society that has no value for the most innocent of life certainly values no life at all. We all know why this shooting occurred. America, a nation that once stood proud and for what was right has been completely demoralized and discredited through a radical left wing agenda that has destroyed our morality and spiritual well being. Obama has truly fundamentally transformed our nation through propaganda and community organizing tactics. While threats of world war three emerge on the world stage President Obama is concerned about where transgendered people are going to urinate. He has single handedly turned this nation into a bunch of helpless victims whose destiny surely rests in government dependence, while blaming the Christian white male for everyone’s victimhood. He continually lectures us on issues of race while lying about the history of the very party he represents and encouraging his foot soldiers to burn down cities. In essence, he is working to dehumanize us for a complete dictatorial takeover that will leave us all at the mercy of big government.

There was a day in America when students were often part of high school shooting teams. Children brought their guns to school on a regular basis and no one was shot. There is one major difference between then and now. People were proud to be Americans and there was no shame in believing in God. People understood the value of hard work and they knew that nothing in the world was free. These days, many people are looking for the easy road out, operating on the leftist belief that they are somehow entitled to the fruits of another’s labor. Somehow, it is the people arguing for the right to keep what they have earned that have become greedy, while those demanding someone else’s money are lauded as heroes. People were not suspicious of their neighbors, while today the government encourages Americans to spy on one another in an effort to root out dissenters. People are being prescribed powerful anti psychotic drugs every time their feelings are hurt and it has been proven that these drugs cause massive damage to an individual’s well being. Essentially, we are living in a different America where people are being indoctrinated into a world of hatred for their very country and it is all based on lies. It is a deliberate agenda aimed at destroying the moral fabric of our society in order to create the right conditions necessary for people to willingly surrender their liberties. Personally, I fear the day a government that shows no regard for the life of innocent babies gets a hold of our guns.
