On this 8th anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, it behooves me to comment on the spirit of hatred that seems to motivate many people in and out of our great land. That the supporters and disciples of Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Mao Tse-tung, and Adolf Hitler would hate America is understandable. Communism, socialism, and fascism are diametrically opposed to everything the United States was founded upon. Therefore, it is not surprising that people who espouse the tenets of these “isms” would exude hatred for America–at least for the America of our forebears. What is most disconcerting, however, is the number of people within our country (and I don’t mean illegal aliens) who harbor hatred in their hearts for our beloved land.
To be sure, one can count me in with those who hate the manner in which the international banking cartel has wormed its way into the inner workings of our federal government. I hate the condescending, elitist attitudes of many in higher education. I hate the way globalists–such as David Rockefeller and his ilk–have been able to use the federal government to promote and safeguard their own private financial and political agendas. I hate the way secularists in public education and private organizations–such as the ACLU, People For the American Way, the Anti Defamation League, etc.–have been able to strip our culture of its Christian heritage. I hate the way politicians from both parties in Washington, D.C., ignore and trample the U.S. Constitution. I hate the way professing Christians and “conservatives” turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the warmongering, police-state mentality of many within the national Republican Party. I hate the way Nancy Pelosi and her gaggle of liberal Democrats use their power to promote socialism in America. I hate the liberal bias of the mainstream news media. I hate the so-called “political correctness” that permeates the philosophy of virtually every major organization in America these days. I hate the attempts by liberals and “do-gooders” of all stripes to take away my right to keep and bear arms. And, yes, I hate the way America’s foreign policy has been manipulated by foreign lobbyists, socialists within the United Nations, and international business interests.
With all of that said, however, if you hate America, count me out!
If Canaan was the Promised Land for Old Testament Israel, America was an earthly Promised Land for Christians and lovers of liberty. In the Providence of God, America was established by the right people, at the right time, and for the right purpose. With all its shortcomings, the U.S. Constitution–along with the Bill of Rights–is the greatest governing document ever devised by man. And the Declaration of Independence is the greatest birth certificate a nation ever had.
In fact, without the freedom and liberty protected by a 200-year history of constitutional government, all those anti-America, anti-Constitution, and anti-Founding Fathers critics out there could not even exist! As God gives the atheist the breath he uses to blaspheme his Creator, so, too, the Constitution protects the right of America-haters to foment their delirium.
I do find it demonstrably hypocritical, however, for these 21st Century preachers to condemn America’s Founding Fathers as being disobedient to Romans 13, only to turn around and celebrate Independence Day–and even conduct patriotic services in their churches. Even more egregious is the way these same preachers who condemn the 13 colonies in their fight for independence against the British Crown so quickly take up the war cry for military aggression all over the world. Obviously, inconsistency is one of the most consistent trademarks of Pharisaism.
The problem today is not that America is intrinsically bad. The principles of religious liberty, State sovereignty, Natural Law, self-government, and federalism are as righteous and good today as they were in 1776. The problem today is that the American people have lost touch with these principles and have allowed those who deny these principles to gain ascendancy within our land. The problem is, the America that was created 233 years ago is being supplanted with new doctrines and ideas. In fact, the doctrines and ideas prevalent today are really nothing new: they are the same antiquated doctrines of centralism and collectivism from which the 13 Colonies broke free so long ago.
So, I say it proudly and loudly: I love the America our Founding Fathers bequeathed to us. I love our republican form of government. I love America’s Christian heritage. I love the principles of federalism and constitutional government. I love the Declaration of Independence. I love the Bill of Rights. I love what our flag represents: a united federation of states. I love the examples of sacrifices made at Bunker Hill, Lexington Green, and Concord Bridge. I love the resolve and dedication of the colonial patriot-preachers known as the Black Regiment [1]. I love the combined wisdom, courage, and commitment to liberty demonstrated by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Sam Adams, Patrick Henry, James Otis, Joseph Warren, James Madison, John Jay, et al.
My criticisms and condemnations are reserved for those who would remove America from her roots, who would strip her of her principles, and who would destroy the fabric of her foundation. Don’t think for one minute that because I loathe those who are trying to merge America into an international New World Order or are working to dismantle constitutional government or are attempting to turn America into a socialist state, that I am in league with those who, in their hearts, hate America. I claim no brotherhood with them, for they hate what I love.

As to President Obama, early on he made it clear that he thought that the necessary condition for peace between Israel and the Palestinians was to treat the two parties as moral equivalents. [and ……..]
……. unbridled hatred of Israel and an American president’s moral blindness could be the breeding ground of another Mideast war. [Now there’s an objective opinion —— not!]
Bullies strike when their prey is vulnerable, [and John Dennis Coffey’s Barstow College (California) colleague and fellow Israel First American Zionist and not one word on the murder of non combatants on the USS Liberty and or the $3B USA per year ‘prop up’ funding!]
Right now a worthy ally is in danger, and the free world’s leader is sending the wrong signal. [Again, subjective to the max!]

How ever, if a bloody invasion of the Japanese home land did occur and the average citizen found out [about the availability of unused super bombs] then Hapless Harry would have been strung up by the thumbs in the Rose Garden.
No invasion of the Japanese mainland needed to take place. The Japanese would have surrendered on the day of or before the first bomb was dropped if the US would only promise to keep the Emperor on his throne, even only ceremonially.
DebbieKat, didn’t those on the Left behave the same way to Bush?
Yes. Zippy said that in #10. Every president gets compared to Hitler.
And Pinche may well be right that “We’re one “national emergency” (real or manufactured) before one of them completely justifies the comparison.”
debbiekat as a “christian conservative [with] attitudes that have no foundation in fact” ?????
On what planet ?????? Jakobs bollocks Kixome might want to start typing while straight and sober!
What this guy said didn’t even warrant as much effort as was put in buy you fine folks, other than debbiekat the ignorant. He is simply put, an idiot of the highest magnitude. Further debbiekat proves why most:not all women should be silenced when it comes to politics or any other subject. They simply reply with christian conservative attitudes that have no foundation in fact. Further I would say this country does not belong to us, so it cannot have a christian basis. I myself am part cherokee,SUP part white SUP, and think that the government should relenquish all control to the spiritual founders of this country. Kixome
DebbieKat: plz pay attention to Mister Quirk on the subject of hypocrisy, ‘he be the expert’ ……..
paulie, even as a Missouri born [non Democrat] admirer of Uncle Harry I agree with your label and ‘back story’. How ever, if a bloody invasion of the Japanese home land did occur and the average citizen found out [about the availability of unused super bombs] then Hapless Harry would have been strung up by the thumbs in the Rose Garden.
BTW, why wasn’t President Cheney and Puppet Boy Bush [League] properly done in by patriotic citizens in the weeks after they allowed 9 – 11 to happen ????
———- Donald R. Lake, Yes Uncle Harry was a mass murderer, and yet still head and shoulders above JFK, LBJ, HHH, Nixon, Water Boy Ford, Reagan ……..
DebbieKat, didn’t those on the Left behave the same way to Bush?
Not that I like Bush, but your comment smacks of hypocracy.
Yes, but only one has actually used atomic weapons against humans.
A peace offer was on the table, with the sole condition that the Emperor (a god in the religion of many Japanese) be allowed to keep his throne.
The atomic weapons were used for the purpose of winning an unconditional surrender, after which the emperor was left on his throne anyway.
The real purpose of using the weapons may have been to demonstrate their power to the Soviet Union, or simply to test out their effects on population centers.
Id say depending on who you are and where you live in the world , EVERY pres has been a terrorist.
Truman was an atomic terrorist.
Only flawed one worlders Harry Truman and Ike were reasonable chief executives and commanders in chief. NONE since 1961, ESPECIALLY JFK, was worth a darn! Shabby, shabby, shabby! These nimrods made the Kremlin look good [and Brezhnev had at least three assignation attempts …….]
….. and the OTHER Kennedys, Bobby and Teddy ???????
“liken our president to Hitler,”
As opposed to the last president? The one before that? The one before him?
You get the idea…
Every president in recent memory gets compared to Hitler. We’re one “national emergency” (real or manufactured) before one of them completely justifies the comparison.
W IS a 911 terrorrist. And so’s Cheney!
“The last President, ………freed some 70 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan from the ruthless communust/islamo-fascist oppressions of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban.”
Kind of like how Hitler “freed” Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Kind of like how Uncle Chester the Molester “frees” a ten year old’s hymen.
Kind of like how a mugger “frees” a wallet.
“Bush equals the polar opposite of Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Pol Pot/Saddam Hussein and all other Tyrannical Dictators in the World.”
Yeah, he’s 360 degrees away from them.
Fascist imperial global empires LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to liberate
oil fields, eh, ah, er others on a
regular basis! Any one else remember
VIET NAM ??????????
We are our own worst enemies!
Don Lake, and Mark Twain, of the
American Anti Imperial League
The last President, should be likened to Winston Churchill, having freed some 70 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan from the ruthless communust/islamo-fascist oppressions of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban.
Or doesn’t Liberty for those overseas matter to you?
Bush equals the polar opposite of Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Pol Pot/Saddam Hussein and all other Tyrannical Dictators in the World.
“liken our president to Hitler,”
As opposed to the last president? The one before that? The one before him?
You get the idea…
“proclaim that our president is a liar during televised speeches to congress and the citizens of the country,”
You mean somebody said the emperor is naked?!
“toting guns to intimidate others from using their rights to free speech if they don’t agree with the gun-toters,”
Or maybe just to defend themselves, or because it’s their right? Why does someone “toting” a gun imply some kind of threat to you?
Their drug policy is actually better than that of the Democrats and Republicans, believe it or not.
And I suspect you would probably agree with them about gun rights, cutting taxes, and several other issues.
This comes from an individual who’s party wants to jail gay people, ban porn and continue the war on drugs? The only things I can remotely agree with the CP on anything is the Patriot Act and the Federal Reserve, the rest of it is the Religious Right on Fing steroids.
The people that I hear that are MOST hateful of America are the right-wing neocons who:
proclaim that our president is a liar during televised speeches to congress and the citizens of the country,
go to town hall meetings toting guns to intimidate others from using their rights to free speech if they don’t agree with the gun-toters,
incite violence on their radio shows that cause nutjobs to shoot down police and kill people in “liberal” churches,
liken our president to Hitler,
exude serious hatred of their fellow CITIZENS on a regular basis…
Just an observation. Who do YOU hate?
Oh come, Don Lake, tell us what you really think!
Hey, it is just that this ‘blinders’ attitude gets patriotic progressive citizens no where. Censorship of criticism, the early days of Greece, Rome, the pre USSR, Cuba, Mexico has ALWAYS, [100%!] been the beginning of the end of progress!
Let Don Lake be the first that you ‘count out’ you pompous ‘America Right or Wrong’ Bible Thumping [a book that has been translated and retranslated and retranslated] room temperature ass! Ya want good transportation? Listen to the mechanics and machinists not the ‘smiles on a stick’ on the sales floor!
You approve of the oppression of Christian, god fearing folk in Hawaii and the Phillipines by the corporate grand sons of New England missionaries and the fascist bloody ruthless United States military. The USA, the world’s premier industrial giant, and too lazy to use the ubiquitous [easier!] metric system!
Currency thru the monopoly money machine of the spooky Federal Reserve? Almost 200 American military bases all over the planet ????? A nation born in the rebellion for freedom and since 1883, a British like global, fascist, imperial empire!
My country ‘Right or Wrong’ ?????? No sir, you room temperature IQ jerk, My Country Right the Wrong! Thx for being part of the problem and not part of the solution. You are as stupid and arrogant as some people say you are!
You DESERVE sycophant supporters like Doctor Donald Grundmann and Cody Loose Cannon Quirk! Jerk!
Americas Christian heritage ??
you gotta be kidding
“That the supporters and disciples of Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx . . . would hate America is understandable.”
Actually, in the case of these two, it isn’t. Ironically, Marx and Lenin didn’t “hate” America at all, but were rather great admirers and students of the American revolution. The US constitution was one of Marx’s favored models of what he calls a “free state,” while US-style federalism clearly informed Lenin’s theory of the soviet republic.
