Today America is ruled by a Progressive cartel made up of politicians, crony-capitalists, academics providing the philosophical foundations, and the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media providing cover. This minority clique relies on low information voters, government employees and those on the dole to keep them in power through elections that supposedly approximate a choice. In reality it is usually a choice between two progressives from the twin-headed party of power.

Unless you understand the spiritual reality of our world, very little of what you see happening will make sense. None of what Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) does makes sense, unless you realize that he is a tool of the devil. His motivation is to do the evil will of his spiritual father, who hates everything of God.

Compromise is the fuse that has been lit by the progressives, as collectively we are killing the culture. America is lost, and the prospect for recovery is faint. Despite the bleak prognosis, surrender is not an option.

America is the greatest nation to ever have existed in the history of the world. There is an American culture, and a uniquely American DNA that makes us who we are, and it is that exceptionalism that is under daily attack.

Americans are people who eschew negative thinking. In fact, they are far more likely to accept a positive lie than a negative severe and upsetting truth, and it is human nature. We tend to latch on to the guy with the positive message appendaged with a shiny new plan to bring it all to pass.

Realism ignores the blather of both the pessimist and the optimist. The realist does not ask if the glass is half full or half empty. When an eight-ounce glass is half gone the realist says there is four ounces of fluid in the glass. It is a statement of fact, not a positive or a negative statement.

Our ruling Elites try to convince us that America’s problems are too complex for we mere mortal taxpayers to understand. They want us to allow them and their acolyte bureaucracy to decide everything behind a veil and then hand down their infallible decrees on stone tablets from Olympus on the Potomac.

So how did America fall for the second oldest con in the world: “Give me your freedom and I’ll give you security?” Those who wished to gain power had no ideology or theology which inspired them. They only sought power for power’s sake. They espoused whatever populist themes gave them the broadest support.

In America, we should know that the real task of a leader is to bring the people from where they are, and where they have been, to where they rightfully ought to be. That is, if they can make out the difference between right and the wrong.

Obama has only fifteen months remaining in the White House, and stopping implementation of some of his most harmful measures by refusing to fund their implementation is the best, and only, response to a President who proceeds as if he is the sole branch of government.
