The USA - a pass-through and trash-the-place landmass

The USA has not yet become a pass-through, throw-the-trash-out the window nation but all you have to do is see the slide show of Cochise County, AZ to know that we are a land where illegals defecate and worse in our national rivers and streams, in our parks as they violate our immigration laws and our government lets them. Upon occasion, as you know, I will bring a reader's comment from the comment section into a post of its own so that the comments and the heartfelt realizations will not become lost. The following comments are from No Apology. If you go to his blog, you will see that his url is http://americaholds.blogspot.com, that's right, America Holds! Will she? Will we? From No Apology: I wrote the "Time To Circle The Wagons" piece after a conversation with Christine (of The 910 Group) in which we spoke about the dual attack on our sovereignty from within and from without. She asked me to write up something and post it on the 910 Blog, which I did, co-posting it on my No Apology blog. In writing it, I wanted to show the chronology of my own research to illustrate that anyone can, with persistence, dig out the story of America's betrayal by those in whom we thought we could trust. The piece has been re-posted and linked to by various bloggers within the past week, and someone over at the UAC also posted it on their forum. So I know we've hit a nerve. Here's the thing: there is always the risk of becoming too insular in our approach to fighting for our Nation, and what I hope to see is an opening out to the broader picture; our very survival as a nation of free citizens necessitates a very steady appraisal of events unfolding daily. I recommend to anyone serious about gaining an understanding of the dangers we face as a sovereign nation - put your TV in a closet; look elsewhere for clues as to what is happening. The internet is good, because no one controls it. I say this because of the likelihood not so much that you will begin to believe what the Media is telling you, but rather you will be lulled into not doing your own research. When you do your own research, you become implacable. So it is vital that we do our own research, even if our conclusions are not always 100% accurate. I would even say to avoid most of the really established bloggers, who are becoming much too predictable in what they are reporting. And they try to do too much. We need to identify and focus on the core problems, while attending to what is really happening around us. Because the governmental rot is so endemic and pervasive, if we cannot somehow ignite outrage over its role in destroying America, then we're going to witness the first truly great tragedy in American history: the end of sovereignty, and the beginning of misery. The outrage, however, is beginning to show, and we need to fuel it. Become an implacable foe. ____________________ No Apology's comments here speak to the absolute necessity for Americans to become involved and informed. When we read of Putin moving to centralize the government of Russia and to enact sweeping laws that are taking away whatever taste of "freedoms" Russians may have briefly had, I am reminded that beginning with Abraham Lincoln and the needless "Civil War", our government - Congress every chance it gets - as well as administrations when the opportunities present themselves - has been centralizing our form of government way beyond what our Founding Fathers directed in the Constitution of the United States. Our bank papers are not considered private; all electronic communications can and probably are fed through a huge maw of a computer that can read everything we send through e-mails and the internet. You know the drill. The Department of Education - created by under Jimmy Carter I believe - federalized the nation's schools, once a domain of the States and the NEA gained so much power that it is arguably the most powerful "union" in the nation. Look to the education of our children just to see how well that federalization is working. The Read ID will federalize the nation's drivers licenses probably putting all of our social security numbers out there where some states today do not use our SSNs. The Environmental Protection Agency - certainly not the friend of the landowner. The Democrat Congress wants to unionize the TSA - Transportation Security Agency; you know the folks who can't distinguish between an 88 year old grandmother and a scrapping potential terrorist; the folks who have become immunized to searching all of us from our nose to our toes and all the areas inbetween herding us like cattle as they do. [I know they have a job to do to "keep us" safe. Unionizing them will buy votes for the Dems, increase the coffers of the union bosses, and make it impossible to fire any folks who are incompetent.] I could go on. See my posts about hyphenated-Americanism, about the DOJ holding US-Muslim negotiation conferences; there is so much: NAFTA and the SPP, the superhighway. That will make you skin crawl. It's rather early for me right now considering how late I was up and I have not had that drug of choice - coffee - so I'll leave you with a word from No Apology - do your own research. It is also time to realize that a facist movement is growing in the United States certainly on college campuses where people invited to speak out about the devastating effects of illegal immigration are shouted down, threatened, and run-off, most recently Jim Gilchrist of the Minutemen who was invited to speak at Columbia University. So... Ever vigilant! Ever free! God bless the United States of America! God bless our men and women in the armed services!
