The following was originally post in May of 2011 and was directed to international visitors to these posts. It describes a God-fearing people who see the calamity all around them and are determined to change the course of their country. This is what you witnessed last evening in our election. It is not a national repentance, far from it, but it not a seared conscience either.
I have asked this before but never specifically to readers from readers outside of the United States. Please consider passing this post on to friends and loved ones because the information on America that receive from the mainstream medias is grossly innacurate and highly biased against the truth.

Hej...Konnichi Wa....Salaam....Privet....Hola....Guten Tag....Zdravo....Lei Ho....
Chances are that the image of America that you have is fairly accurate but a very incomplete one. Hollywood, television, Broadway and literature have been our ambassadors. We are indeed a violent culture. We became very successful after World War II. The power of industry, agriculture and technology made us feel that we would never see the day when we, as a people, would go hungry. Our culture has utterly collapsed since then and we have been more than willing to share the recipe for that collapse.

The Leftist and the Marxist who has been trying to overthrow our way of life for a hundred years is now in the midst of succeeding. Our universities have long since lost their mission to train minds and now train activists of the worst sort in the activism of inactivism which sits back and permits the encroachment of tyranny. Our purpose in life is to seek amusement. The patriot has become the fool. The leadership of our Democratic Party are the Village People who succeeded through their absurdities. Many of our cities display crime and squalor to a watching world and we have sacrificed our children to the pied pipers who began to draw them away long ago through melody which has since been replaced by a cacophony of grunts and groans, a music that now often beats not soothes that savage breast. We live for our 401k investments in the stock market. Our rich insulate themselves in gated communities. Our celebrities mesmerize us as they walk the red carpet and titillate us further as they burn on the pyres of their own making. Any guilt we might have is assuaged by throwing someone else's money at the problems that were started by those who tax and throw to begin with.
We are to be pitied.....that is if you look only at our ambassadors and we might justly be hated if you hear only the BBC or our media but there is one virtue that God has not as of yet taken from us and that is the fallow ground that can be replenished to give fruit unto repentance. The further away one gets from the neon lights and the thuggish tactics of political machines, a different breed appears. They (we) also are flooded by the entertainments that have breached the levees, but with shovels and sandbags in hand we are trying to repair that breach, and praying for the rains to stop. Secure the levees and the government's usurped powers not enumerated by our Constitution will drain back into the cesspools of which they arose.
Our Civil War of the 1860s was one of blue and grey, fought with gunpowder. Our civil war today is one of blue state and red state mentalities. The battleground that the blue state chooses is on the judge's bench (judicial activism), the university chair (political correctness) and the seats of bureaucratic power. The landscape chosen by the red state is in the conscience, on paper in the words of our founders and on our knees. The blue state seeks an imperial presidency while the red state recognizes only the constitutional republic that we in fact are. The blue state wants a nation of serfs while the red state seeks to build a nation of producers. The blue state says "Yes we can!" while the red state responds "No we can't but God is able, and willing if we seek His wisdom."
If we lose this fight, might I humbly put to you, you will lose also! Our differences are illustrated in the words of two presidents, one of whom was Ronald Reagan who said in his first inaugural speech "We Americans have the capacity now, as we've had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom," this compared with the words of our current president five days prior to the election that conceivably could be the final nail in our coffin "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
We are not a people of one ethnicity, nor a nation supplied by one continent. Our strength has always been in our diversity, and had been even before the founding of our nation when people of different denominations, theologies and traditions grappled with one another for decades with the final result being our Constitution. That beautiful diversity has been hijacked and we are now force-fed a politically correct abominable distortion of it. We are red, white, yellow, brown and black. Our enemies accuse us of racism but a higher proportion that demographics would predict of our choicest political and economic minds (Allen West and Thomas Sowell for example) are black. Our enemies say that we don't want the Latino but their addition, legally accomplished, will strengthen us. They say that we are anti-women but women are our strongest and most courageous voices. They say we do not care for the poor but it is only through God's wisdom that we can alleviate the situation. They say we are imperialistic but it is us that say to you...keep your traditions, defend your country, hold fast against the one-world government mentality that seeks to co-opt us all. They say we are uneducated but they continually revert to bullying, coercion and corruption when their arguments are shown unsound.

Diversities of traditions are an ornament to the Earth and my travels into your countries were some of my most happiest moments. Our tradition is one of freedom, liberty and acknowledgment that all of our blessings were bestowed upon us by God and Him alone! We are fighting, not against your traditions but against the hybrid of globalism that seeks to destroy both yours and ours.
