“America is safer, but we are not yet safe.” For a White House infamous for vacuous inanities and empty rhetoric this one is really right up there at the top alongside “Mission Accomplished.” With the floodgates open to millions of illegal aliens pouring across our borders aided and encouraged by the Bush administration for the sake of slave labor benefiting only the wealthy at the expense of legitimate American citizens extorted through taxation without representation to pay the bills for these barbarian hoards that have no intention of giving up their nationality and allegiance to Mexico We the People need to be told “we are not yet safe”?

Conspiracy theories abound and are given credibility because those in government are consistent in lying to We the People. Who do you know in our leadership you can depend on for the truth. They lie to gain elected office and they lie to stay in power.

I can relate from personal experience of people to little Scout's observation of Mrs. Grace Merriweather sipping gin out of Lydia E. Pinkham bottles. It was nothing unusual for, as Scout observes, “Mrs. Merriweather's mother did the same.” And when Scout's aunt Alexandra descends on the household in order to help Scout become a lady and she is asked by Atticus how she would like her auntie staying with them, she admits, “I said I would like it very much, which was a lie, but one must lie under certain circumstances and at all times when one can't do anything about them.”

Has it come to this, that we must accept the circumstances politicians describe as justification for their not telling the truth? But who in their right mind believes the circumstances politicians describe when we know they are liars, even lying when the truth would serve them better? Why isn’t the truth being told about the decisions these politicians make and are making bankrupting America and plunging us into fathomless debt to foreign nations like China?

Does it have to come to what one German told me of Hitler: “My family was starving before Hitler came to power. But when he was in charge of Germany we had meat and potatoes.” That man reflected the attitude of all those suffering extreme poverty that are ready to welcome any “White Knight” riding to their rescue! Sinner or Saint will then be a matter of “interpretation,” the only thing that will matter is delivering the goods, delivering the meat and potatoes.

And with our porous borders no one of any sensibility believes things regarding national security have improved since 9/11, and Katrina only served to emphasize the utter failure of government from top to bottom so far as responding to any national emergency. Our “leaders” throughout are intent on only these things: Power, profits, and saving their own backsides, a “policy” guaranteed to assure the destruction of America.

But we seek in vain to find any better leaders among Democrats than among Republicans, or any Democrats less committed than Republicans to the “Latino vote” or any less committed to betraying and selling out America while extorting legitimate American citizens to pay the bills for the invaders from Mexico and elsewhere, the result being an alarming increase in gang violence throughout America as these foreign invaders and homegrown terrorists take over entire cities like Los Angeles. Hint: “But we are not yet safe.”

Let’s see both Republicans and Democrats insisting on securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws before crediting any with having the best interests of America in mind, before crediting any with telling the truth about concerns for “national security” or the welfare of We the People as they go about campaigning calling each other names, let’s see some honesty addressing the fact Muslims and Mexicans do not assimilate; they colonize! And because neither assimilate, both are a clear and present danger to America!

Being neither naïve nor altruistic I realize we have a political system that does not offer us candidates of virtue, but only those who have made the required Mephistophelian deals in order to even mount campaigns. And whether Republican or Democrat the lesser of evils remains evil. Our problem is one of the history of politics and politicians. As Emerson pointed out who would want to be a politician when they could choose some noble occupation? Sam Clemens had it an “honest politician” was one that had not been in office long enough to sell out. Where Sam missed it was the selling out had taken place along the way to elected office.

Things have only worsened in a politically correct America where nothing can be called by its correct name, where the truth is sacrificed to the ends of those like the ACLU and La Raza that will either have an America in their image or destroy America in the process. And these organizations do so by extorting American taxpayers to foot the bill while attempting to erase everything distinctive of American heritage and culture, even attacking attempts to secure our borders, to rid ourselves of ballots printed in foreign tongues and make English our national language by law! And an evil system of politics that offers us only the choice of the lesser of evils plays directly into the hands of the enemies of America.

Such a system of government led of scoundrels that America suffers and is leading us to destruction is nothing less than diabolical. I use the term here in the dictionary sense, though it is my belief such a system that rewards scoundrels while punishing any who would speak the truth has been purposely designed and set in place by Satan.

The fault I find with those declaring “There is no God!” is their hypocritical refusal to acknowledge this as a belief, not empirical fact. I am careful to qualify my own beliefs as beliefs, not empirical facts. I believe there is a God, but I do not know there is a God. And those who deny there is a God have only their own belief about this, not fact.

For many of us it is easier to believe than to not believe. And among such believers are some of the greatest scholars and scientists the world has ever known. The qualifying term is “believers,” not “knowers.” It would serve both sides best to admit to having beliefs rather than insisting on confusing beliefs with facts whether Christian or atheist.

But no matter whether believer or unbeliever we live in a world and in an America seeming intent on self-immolation, not peace. And “diabolical” is the fitting word for this. And when disaster in the form of a terrorist nuclear bomb strikes here in America those crying for help are not going to be understanding of “Press One for English.” National disasters of such magnitude require a common language, and Mexico and Iran aren’t offering “Press One for English,” nor even “Press Two!”
