Let's get real. The political battle between conservatives and liberals is no longer an issue worth discussing. Except for rhetoric, there is little substantive difference between them. The hype, scare tactics, and fear mongering used by both sides is merely for the purpose of raising money and electing people to positions of power. However, neither side has any real plans to change public policy or the overall direction of the country.
How long have we voters heard Democrats and Republicans warn us of the imminent dangers of the other party while assuring us that they and they alone can be trusted to save the country? It's the same redundant message every two years, and has been for as long as I can remember.
However, the grim reality is, no matter whom we elect, no matter which party controls Congress or the White House, the direction of the country doesn't change. Fundamental liberties continue to be lost, the federal government continues to burgeon, and America continues to evolve into a socialist-Fascist society.
Furthermore, that people call themselves Christians also matters little. The Religious Right moves in lock-step with the socialist- Fascist direction of the country along with the godless left. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether a politician claims to be conservative or liberal, Christian or unbeliever (which, of course, hardly any politician claims to be). Nothing changes.
What Americans must come to understand is that there is really only one issue that counts today: will America be an independent, sovereign nation or will it become part of a global empire complete with global government and a global economy? Obviously, there are many sub-issues that will help decide that question, but ultimately this is the single most important issue facing this generation of Americans! And when one ponders that question, he or she can easily see that both Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Christians and unbelievers are culpable in leading or assisting America's entrance into internationalism. There seems to be but a handful of people, from either end of the political spectrum, that remotely understands this reality.
Of course, many people are blind as bats as to what is happening to our country. All they know is working, paying taxes, getting drunk on the weekends, and immersing themselves in sports or self pleasure. Others see what is happening and because they lack a proper education or background are intrigued by it. Still others know exactly what is happening and are doing everything they can to hasten the pace. Regardless, America continues on the fast track to globalism.
What people need to realize is that internationalism is incompatible with freedom. Once internationalists achieve their dream of global government, Americans will rapidly lose their liberties and independence. No one's life, liberty, or property will be secure. People will become servants to an all-powerful state. We will live our lives under ubiquitous state surveillance. There will be no appeals, no checks and balances, and no separation of powers.
The rise of globalism also means the end of Christianity as a major influence in America culture and society. Our Christian history and heritage will be expunged. Beyond that, true Christian people will find that they have no friends within this new global order. We will come to share the purges and persecutions that our brothers and sisters who lived under Stalin's Russia and Mao's China endured.
Do you find it interesting that those Christians who refuse to oppose the efforts of internationalists today are actually helping to forge the chains and build the scaffolds that will ultimately be used against both them and their children tomorrow? Whether they realize it or not, that is exactly what they are allowing to happen.
It is time that all freedom loving Americans discard their infatuation with political parties, labels, and titles. They must quickly cast off their propensity to put pragmatism over principle and stop allowing themselves to be blindly led by these pompous Pied Pipers of internationalism.
Liberal or conservative? Democrat or Republican? Christian or unbeliever? It no longer matters! We are fighting for the survival of our nation. Any man, regardless of race, religion, political label, or economic station who understands that this is a battle between globalism and independence is our friend, and any man who understands it not will ultimately do us more harm than good, his political and religious affiliation notwithstanding.
