YOU ARE AMERICA
You have been led to forget
Who you are!
You have been given
The Bill of Rights to put
Limits on your government,
The Constitution to put
Limits on your government,
The Declaration of Independence
To say why it was done,
And The Federalist Papers
To say why it was done.
You have been given
The most free country
That humankind has ever,
Ever invented!
Some of you are evil
In that you have become
Addicted to political power
And can’t get enough!
It is a common human failure!
You are not by definition
Entitled to more than
What was originally specified!
You also have too high a regard
For your own intelligence!
You have very little wisdom!
Some of you are confused,
Not aware of all
All that is happening
And don’t understand
What you are seeing!
It is time to discover
These things or else
The gifts of freedom
Will be taken away
By those that have not given
These freedoms to you!
You know something is wrong,
Just not precisely what
It may be.
Our society, “culture” is not
Where it is supposed
To be according to
America’s design as
Mentioned above.
Too many individuals
And institutions are
Out of proper control
In seeking their own ways,
Not freedom’s ways.
Our country’s design is
To protect your opportunity
To enjoy and achieve
Your worshipping God,
Rearing your family
And working
Where and at what
You will to afford
Living in this life
And this country.
This opportunity should be
Structured according to
Your individual will,
Not that of experts,
Bureaucrats,
Oppressive political parties,
Or media indoctrination.
This fact is only
Modified by sensible laws
That protect you from
The excesses of your
Fellow citizens.
The laws are also often
Out of reasonable control.
Too often they play
Against you and
In favor of criminals.
Though sometimes
An accident,
Too many times
Deliberate.
These concerns must be
Controlled by you
Voting for other people
To properly execute
Their responsibilities.
Good, responsible,
Knowledgeable,
Candidates, not just
Political party favorites.
This is where you and I
Have “dropped the ball,”
America!
It really is our fault!
Some of us are
Endeavoring to
Shine some light into
The dark places that
We have been led into!
You are America!
It is your responsibility
And mine
To take us out of this
Dark and destructive time!
Get better informed.
Let our representatives know
That the situations in America
That they have created
Are grossly unacceptable!
Or learn to enjoy this
Offensive, oppressive America
That we have become!
This is yours and my choice
To make today!
Personally, I choose the America
The Framers designed,
Not this “woke”, Leftist
Abomination that is being
Arbitrarily forced upon us!

This is one of my meditations and themes for the last several years. It is like a unfathomable, universe-wide subject. This is a good starting discussion of this subject. It is packed with meaning.
Humans are made in GOD’s Image and HIS likeness.
That Image in humans is this: our individual spirit & attributes.
The reason is so that we can relate to HIM. Our excuse that GOD isn’t human and a figment of our imagination is totally destroyed by Jesus. Freedom is in this discussion.
GOD created humans to be able to relate to HIM. Jesus came to be our individual, sinless Lamb of sacrifice. He will come again as the Messiah that the Jews are expecting but it will be to return believers (all those who have chosen to believe forever) to the Eden relationship with GOD. {The Biblical book of Leviticus is what perfect obedience would look like.
I finally understand its meaning and use.}
What GOD and a human creates are reflections of themselves. They are alike enough for the ...

While it is humanly impossible for humans to be totally good, we always can do much better than we have been doing if we individually want to do so! There is no concept that humans can totally achieve in this life. This applies individually, in groups or collectively.
The pathologies of today’s culture are apparent. However, they are called benefits & loudly proclaimed. They must be clearly seen as dangerous & wrong to our once-free country!
They are deliberately destroying Christianity, our country, our families, our individual personhood & our individual freedoms. Does this seem to be too extreme a statement?
Our media are calling evil “good” & good “evil”. Should that be totally right & silently allowed? Free speech & opinions must not live there? Freedom of speech is not absolute. This severe problem should be curtailed & limited within the proper bounds & situations!
Is it possible or allowed to seek those limits that do not destroy freedom of speech itself?

I do not support ANY, ANY political personality cults!!!! Left, Right, middle, it doesn’t matter! If you take the political part out, it is still so! Is this clear enough? I don’t support cultish “groupyism”!
My expectation is that any American who wishes to serve America in a political office would speak and act in support of our cherished American principles that are reflected in the best writings of our founders and all sensible people since then!
I am disgusted by the pragmatic politics and the excessive partisanship that the media love, especially for Democrats, it seems. I am disgusted with the pro-to-total leftism in our media. They do not represent thinking, peaceful citizens’ views! Individual humans are all over the belief spectrum with the issues. That is why discussion is necessary!
The people that I enjoy watching and reading at least attempt to tell the truth as they see it and are willing to listen to varying opinions and discuss them! From libertarian to center ...
