Generations of Wolves & Sheeple

         Generational lines are seldom clear cut but in the US there is a penchant for pigeon holing and labeling everything. In the US the generation that fought WWII is often called “the greatest generation”. I have had numerous very good friends among them and though quite a bit younger than that I do, as an “American” and a veteran of two US Armed Forces, have a great deal of respect for them; but, I would never say they were the greatest.

This was the generation that allowed FDR’s social experiments - and passed down the bills for them. They gave us “McCarthyism” and ran around the world collapsing and creating dictatorships all in the name of fighting a former ally (SEE NOTE ¹). They melded into the “baby boomers” and raised a divided generation - the kids that became both the warriors of the Vietnam War and the “hippie generation”.

The warriors continued running around the world collapsing and creating dictatorships. The “hippie generation” did not care to participate and was largely characterized by the focus on self-expression and social issues. Along with the elimination of social norms came the creation of the social welfare state. Along with desegregation in schools came government housing that became, in essence, segregated communities. Bra burning feminism brought Femi-Nazi’s along with it. This is the era of Johnson’s social experiments - and again the ever growing bills were passed down the line.

As “free love” melded into the next generation it came with a sky rocketing divorce rate. This melding is reflected in the focus of the next generation which may be characterized by a self-centered saying from the time “me, myself, and I”. As social norms continued disintegrating so too did “family values” and the “nuclear family”. An unintended pregnancy, instead of cause for marriage, became an inconvenience eliminated by ever increasing abortion rates.

Soon generational lines were becoming so blurred and the changes so incremental and indistinct that social commentators stopped using names and started using letters - Generation X, Generation Y, etc. (Where do we go after generation Z? Or do we?) The “AIDS epidemic” did little more than get homosexuality in the headlines and out of the closet and demanding the whole house or else. God, unless Muslim, became taboo - even though Muslim terrorists had been killing US folks since the Seventies and Eighties and the US has been at war with one Muslim nation or another ever since the Nineties.

While Generation X and Y meld and morph we find ourselves in various quagmires. There are energy issues bogged down with the love for labels real or imagined - “greenhouse effect”, “global warming”, “carbon exchange”, etc. Sexuality issues created their own labels - “gay pride” and the “LGBT Mafia”. Language and freedom have been stripped of meaning. Citizens accused of many crimes are now called “domestic terrorists” instead of criminals and killed by police forces trained as the military; and, non-citizen “terrorists” are instead called criminals and dealt with by a military used as a police force. Consider, “tolerance” becoming mandated as “forced support” (think LGBT) and “equal opportunity” forcefully mandated (think Affirmative Action). We are being forced to enshrine and promote everything except what and who many of the Founding Fathers were - “WASP Americans” - then it is illegal and called racism (the practitioners of which are labeled domestic terrorists and apt to be fined at a minimum and risk being arrested or shot). Fans of George Orwell’s 1984 have come to power.

         Our country was born as a constitutional republic and was known as these United States of America. Now THE United States harps on spreading a democracy we have never embodied or embraced ourselves - in a true democracy the majority rules. We have become worse than a social democracy in all but name.

We were once called “the melting pot”; and, once a nation built by courageous pioneers from the world over - honored to be called loyal “Americans”. Now we are becoming a land filled with people with little knowledge of, or desire for, honor or loyalty toward this nation.

We struggle with a population of illegal immigrants that outnumbers the entire population of many other nations. They are faulted by many for not integrating into our culture. But to what culture can they integrate - we are too divided. They are burdening a social welfare system already collapsing under the weight of too many native born citizens that have become sheeple that expect the Government to care for them from cradle to grave - none of whom have the courage of a pioneer. So the newer immigrants share not only the blame but the shame too.

         “The Greatest Generation” was the one that gave us the Constitution and these United States. We have been going downhill ever since we became THE United States. Once the Federal government began losing respect for the Constitution and the States lost their rights it was only a matter of time till tyranny reared its ugly head and another revolution became necessary. The government no longer respects the Constitution, or the States, or the rights of the people. We have a government of the sheeple, by the sheeple, for the elite.

         Martin King had a dream. I had a nightmare. Sadly, only mine is coming true. Can you hear that sound? It is called a death rattle. It is coming from what is left of these United States. It is revolting - so should we be: the US needs CPR - Christian Patriotic Revolution! This is not a revolt by a barrage of bombs and bullets. It is a revolt launched with love and the Law. It is a revolt waged with words and wisdom. It is a revolt of values and votes. Give your life to YHWH. Give your vote for His love, His Law, His words, His wisdom, and His values.

 

NOTE ¹ - The US has not quit applying the absurd “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” since then. This policy has historically failed. Obama is taking it to the extreme by supplying arms and training to rebel “non-State” Muslims groups we have fought for years as terrorists to fight against “Recognized State” Muslims we just fought as enemies and then just trained and armed again. Obama’s actions reflect “one enemy of the US, who is the enemy of another enemy of the US, is one of the weakest enemies of the US, so I’ll strengthen the weakest one now and pass the buck to the next generation”.

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. -- Anonymous

An improved version:

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -- Anonymous

Comment: I have seen the above quotes attributed to many different people so I have attributed it to no one in particular. Who said it is not as important as the sentiment it expresses.

Did You know

 

From the Constitution of the United States:

Article IV Section 4, of the Constitution "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion".

The word “democracy” never appears in the US Constitution!

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. -- Thomas Jefferson

But government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it. -- Henry David Thoreau

There is a reason why we have a Constitution:

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests. -- Patrick Henry

But, we have been betrayed by the Judicial branch:

The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please. -- Thomas Jefferson

We have been betrayed by the Executive branch:

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. -- Patrick Henry

And, too many people are betraying YHWH and the country:

Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom. -- Patrick Henry

This has resulted in betrayal by the Legislative branch:

Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature…. If the next centennial does not find us a great nation … it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces. -- James Garfield, the twentieth president of the United States, 1877

         The Godless liberal agenda has been eating away like a cancer at the fabric of the US for quite some time. It is a malignant cancer but the patient is not yet terminal - if we excise the cancer in time. To do so a scalpel is no longer sufficient - only the Sword of the LORD will suffice. Otherwise it is just a matter of time to a post mortem autopsy.

Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature. -- Benjamin Franklin

         Is one of the people responsible for the decline of the US the person you see in the mirror?
