Words and where we should be!

Words and where we should be!

With every election, we should be moving towards more liberty and more freedom. With every election, the politician will tell us the words, but not necessarily believe in them. We all know this, but we still keep voting in the people that take away our liberty and our freedom.

The issue of the Mosque, in New York, is not going away. The politicians that should be saying something, are silent on the topic. The politicians that are saying something are now being called Islamophobic. This is a terrible word, because it unfairly labels those who are looking at this issue in the way it should be looked at.

While we are finding out more and more about the Imam, who wants to build this Mosque, we are also finding out more about the backing of the Imam and where the money is coming from.
The latest Rasmussen poll has 54% of voters opposing the building of the Mosque at Ground Zero, in New York City. At this point most Americans don’t seem to be engaged with the story. Just 22% say they are following the story closely and another 29% say they are following somewhat closely. These numbers will get larger, because this issue is not going away.
Most of the people I talk to connect this Mosque with the radical Islam movement of the Taliban, Al-Qaida and with the radical element in Iran. There is a connection and the words tell us where we are now, as a nation, and where the world is with this threat.

Every movement in history, that has been out to destroy the United States, has done it through breaking down the fundamental strength of our society. The communists attempted it through breaking down the family unit. The socialists are doing it through big government and the radical element of Islam is doing it through religion. In each case, the attempts have been to breakdown our society and divide us so that we are forced to take sides.

The country is now in a quiet civil war with each issue. The results of these divisions over Healthcare, religion and the weak family structure are in the inner cities and now the suburbs. Edmund Burke, a British Parliamentarian, orator and political philosopher, was in favor of the American Revolution, but was not in favor of the French Revolution. Burke was praised by both conservatives and liberals in the nineteenth century and since the twentieth century he has generally been viewed as the philosophical founder of modern conservatism he said: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

These are the words that I am searching for from our politicians. These are the words that we should now be demanding when we speak of the evil that is once again threatening this land and all those who favor liberty and freedom.

The opposition of the Mosque by Americans who see this threat and know what the victory of symbolism will be to the radical are now causing for increased terrorist chatter from abroad.
When words are used they tell the story. We must be vigilant and we must listen closely to what they mean. Case in point: the new drone that Iran is now testing is called the Ambassador of Death. We didn’t name it, they did. The radical element that wants a Mosque at Ground Zero named a weapon that could be a weapon of mass destruction of Israel. Every American should be outraged! Every Jew should be outraged and every member of the government should be outraged! While the President is on vacation, we don’t see the outrage.

In our society, when a weapon is made, we name it The Flying Fortress or the Liberator. These labels tell the story of the American mission. It is for sure the Ambassador of Death is labeled for a mission as well.

As we enter into this political season, after Labor Day, we must consider the words the politicians use and use our words to tell them what we want. Our words should be outrage, concern and we shouldn’t forget the words of liberty and freedom. It was these words that started a nation on the course of greatness. As I opened today’s FORUM, I made a statement: with every election we should be moving towards more liberty and more freedom.

A footnote: More liberty and more freedom are just 70 days away. Start motivating people who truly believe that good men and women have a duty to extend liberty and freedom. At the end of the day, this is all we have.
