America: The God Vacuum

As a child I loved to fly kites. I remember having many different kites of different shapes, sizes, and styles. We would fly our kites for hours, and even invent games and competitions between all the neighborhood kids. Kites are such simple things, but some of my best childhood memories involve flying them. I still fly kites with my children to this day.

So, why do I bring up kites in a rant about America being a God Vacuum? Well, no matter the shape, size, or style of kite; they all have one thing in common. All kites have some sort of structure or backbone holding them together. Without this backbone the kite would just collapse and be unable to fly.

America was founded with a backbone, but now that backbone is all but ignored. The founders of this great country were Christian men who based the formula for their new government on the principals of the God they believed in. Now, if you want, you can try to argue this point with me, but it would be futile. There are evidences of this God backbone for America in our founding documents, on our governmental buildings, in our songs and pledges, in the founder’s personal writings, and in virtually everything else in that era. So, let’s move on and take this backbone as a fact. To do otherwise is akin to not recognizing your own image as you look at it in the mirror.

Over the past 50 years, the extreme elements of our country have slowly chipped away at this backbone until it is all but gone. The result is what I call the God Vacuum, or the absence of God in America. The list of these extremists and their targets is endless. Every element of the God backbone has been attacked at one time or another. The first big step was taking God out of our schools. This started the God vacuum by eliminating God from a large portion of our children’s lives. Then it moved on to removing as many references to God as they possibly could in every area of our lives. Just a few examples are: the elimination of the 10 commandments from our courts, the elimination of prayer and references to God in most government facilities, right down to eliminating something as simple as nativity scenes. What began as a little omission of God here or there is quickly becoming a huge stigma towards God or his principals. It all goes back to the misinterpretation of the establishment clause and Thomas Jefferson’s statement about the “wall of separation” of Church and State. This was always intended to be a one way wall which kept the state out of the church not the other way around. None of the founders wanted God to be eliminated from our government or our society. Unfortunately, we as citizens have largely sat by silent and allowed this vacuum to materialize without much of a fight. I fear that it will only grow worse and worse and the backbone of our country will be only a memory.

Why does this matter so much? Remember the kite, without a backbone it collapses and does not fly. Now a country without its backbone is about to collapse and take a nose dive. A constitution and laws that are written from a Godly frame of mind, tends to make little of no sense to the ungodly. That is why there is so much confusion, and our court system finds it necessary to rewrite laws that have made sense for 200 years. The only solution is for those of us who long for the America of our Fathers to take a stand and be as vehement and persistent as those who are attacking it. We must be vocal, honest, and learn to not take their “no” for an answer. We must fight fairly, and we must not compromise. The silent majority has been the sleeping giant for too long. Majority you ask? Of course we are. It just seems like the Godless extreme are stronger because of the way they shout and fight. We must learn to use some of their tactics without their lies and distortions.

I for one will do what I can to stop the erosion and chipping away at America’s Godly backbone. I believe strongly that every human is born with a God shaped hole in their heart. Many choose to fill it with other things, and that is their choice. However when they evacuate God from America and create a God Vacuum, it is time to stand up and be heard.

That’s my 2 cents, and may God continue to bless America even in the midst of her rebellion!

Stars and Stripes Forever, but not at school

It's bad enough that God was taken out of our government schools years ago, now a nitwit superintendent in San Diego County, CA has taken the American Flag out of his schools. His reasoning was unrest that resulted after proud American kids confronted Hispanic kids who walked out of class in protest to possible immigration policy changes. So this Superintendent immediately went after the disruptive Hispanic kids who started the whole thing by waiving the Mexican flag and yelling, right? Wrong, he did the "fair" thing and banned everyone from bringing flags even for the country we live in. The guy’s logic is amazing. “Our goal was to get rid of the Mexican flags on campus because they were causing such heated feelings,” Supt. Ken Noonan said. He goes on to state the "legal council" told him he couldn't just temporarily ban Mexican flags. So, let's see, at the expense of the lawful rights of real and true American Citizens he protected the rights of folks who are most likely made up of illegal aliens in majority. Great job, KEN! You win the lame, politically correct loser award. You are the guy that punishes a whole class when 1 deviant does something wrong, right.

This is the whole problem. The government school system as a whole is so worried about diversity and protecting the "feelings" of all students that they forget that we are actually in America. I know for a fact that the constitution still stands, and that the filthy ACLU has not yet successfully removed our government. So, where does this joker get off banning the 1 symbol of the country that runs his little schools. He works for the government for Pete's sake.

I just don't get it. OK, my head hurts already, but check this quote out. “People are mad at just the idea that someone would dare to ban kids from bringing American flags on campus,” Noonan said. “But it was the very act of bringing flags that led to a lot of strife on campus.” Hey Dummy, it was the act of bringing in MEXICAN flags that started the issue. So, please narrow your focus, get some guts, and ban a flag from the outside not the inside. This is so knee jerk and silly that it makes me sick.

That's my 2 or 3 cents! WOW!
