Baptism

It is little wonder that the general government has chosen to openly deny access to openly-professed people of faith.  It has been trying, for years, to convince the American people that everything we have ever relied upon - Christianity, family, country - is bad and that the government has all of the answers.

It has sought to ruin the family by driving wedges between parents and children, and by scattering the extended family unit to the winds.

It has sought to destroy Christianity in America by denying our historic Christian roots and rejecting the primacy of God - putting unnecessary laws in place to provide protections for people who do not need any more protection than the basic laws provide when they are consistently and ethically employed.

It has sought to destroy America from within by doing everything it can to shock, dismay, annoy, irritate, and otherwise put off her allies - simultaneously getting cuddly with our enemies and making America appear to be a place nobody can trust.

Ethics, character, integrity - all things that America has stood for through the years.  Now the rest of the world is wondering what happened.  In brief, we got lazy.  We decided that our personal issues were paramount, that everyone else felt the same about their personal issues, and that the government would see to making everything work (that's why we pay taxes, isn't it?).  Even when the government's dishonesty and outright corruption was exposed like a cheating spouse, we continued to allow them to do what they were doing because we believed that they really were involved in an important market study of enhanced condoms.  As we closed the door to the room and walked away to the sound of laughter coming from behind it, we wanted to believe the lie so much that we parked ourselves in front of the TV with a beer and proceeded to perform the La-La dance.

Now, years later, we have returned to the room and peered through the doorway to see what is going on.  The pile of condoms - extortionist taxes, bad international deals, failed domestic and foreign policies - has become distressingly large, and there seems to be little difference between them all.  The crowd lined up in the room, trousers down and waiting their turn, has lengthened - Colombia, Mexico, China, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, France, Russia, Cuba, and more, all waiting for their turn.

It is time to take the business sign down and tell the rest of the world that America is not whoring herself anymore.  It is time to take a primary interest in all Americans, not just a noisy minority with no scruples as to how they get attention, or access to lots of money.  It is time for America to develop a character - a face that is consistent no matter what leadership we have at the time - so that people around the world know that they can trust America to be what she appears at all times.

If we do not do this, we are finished at a major player on the world stage.
