I take no pleasure in making such a statement but the time is long since past when anyone can afford to ignore  what has happened to the people  who would lead us all  in this young century. We do so at our peril.

The  changes we see in the way in which  the leadership of the country recognized as the Leader of the Free World has chosen to govern are only the tip of the iceberg.  The lust for power we see manifested in this present administration is frightening. And should be. Someone once said  "Power corrupts, and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely." Never have those words been more true and never has it been so important that they be heeded..

We see  a leader who promised to unite his people pursuing his agenda by deliberately fostering division and breeding mistrust in a people who all love their country but who, thanks to this power group, have come to hate  and mistrust one another. All a part of the master plan to impose their will on  a citizenry that should now, more than at any time in the country's history, be united against the common enemy we all face.

 Checks and balances have always been a part of  the American system of government. This is no longer true. The power group holds the Executive Branch, The Congress, The Senate, and soon they will also control the Supreme Court. The Press which is expected to be the watchdog and to keep the people informed has been muzzled and even Free Speech is under attack as never before in the history of the Republic. How does one successfully fight a  mutual enemy when the forces are rife with dissension and mistrust ?

 And how can we have confidence and follow such a leader without question or  fear ? One would have to be brain dead not to hesitate. Our mutual enemy does require that we all come together as one if we are ever to ultimately prevail but  following a leader  we do not trust or respect is alien to any standard we have ever embraced. HIstory has shown  just how disastrous that can be.

This hasn't happened overnight, it has been in the making for at least two decades, if not longer, and as these miscreants see their planning come to fruition they will not easily give up but it is imperative for the very survival of democracy as we know it that they be thwarted. The one hope is the American people. Americans are basically decent God fearing people who value their freedom and cherish their heritage. If I didn't believe that I would just be quiet and not risk offending.

 If only enough people will examine events over the past ten years with open minds they will see that they have been manipulated and coerced into  believing that they are fighting for their values when in fact they have been misled and encouraged in the name of God and Country  to blaspheme  and ignore everything which made them great in the first place. 

I do believe there is hope and a light at the end of this interminable tunnel, but only if enough citizens begin to  put partisan politics aside and remember that their country and the welfare of the people comes first. Only then, will reason prevail. The rest of the world is not the enemy of America, they quite simply do not trust its present leadership and their methods of dealing with world affairs. When we all stood together in attacking Afghanistan in an effort to gain control of this terrorist menace which we all face there was unity. Only when that pursuit was to all intents and purposes abandoned as the U.S. focused on an old enemy who did not represent  a threat to  us did that unity break down. And now with Iraq  the new hotbed of terrorist recruitment ... thanks in no small measure to  the U.S. actions ... and while the Afghanistan war once more heats up and the enemy regains a foothold there ... now when unity is so desperately required  ...  there is no trust that the American leadership will even now listen to reason from those who would stand with them if only they were prepared to exhibit the wisdom  so desperately needed if we are to find  a path to resolving the peril we all face.

 It is imperative that changes be made now in American policy for it isn't only terrorists we must consider. There are other threats on the horizon as well. If our way of life is to survive we must regain  trust in the Leader of the Free World. We will only do that  when the American people  take back their voice and insist their government listen. Only then will  we see light  at the end of this damnable tunnel they have led us into as they took on the mantle of aggression and world domination in pursuit of their ill-fated and reckless agenda.
