I AM AN AMERICAN

Written: July 4, 2007
There are now almost 300 million people who live in this nation and claim to be Americans, yet the truth is that not all who claim this are telling the truth.
Whether you were born in the United States or not is not the deciding factor. Many have been born in foreign nations and became very dedicated Americans and even gave their lives to help us maintain our freedom and heritage. Yet, there are many who were born here who are not willing to do this. Just who is a true American?
Those born here and rebel against our true values and heritage enjoy the freedom they have here. These very ones who claim to be true Americans reject and defame our brave men and women who have sacrificed all to maintain this freedom. They have called our military men murderers and other things. I pesonally call these BETRAYERS AND LIARS, and these are not true Americans.
These liars and betrayers have the audicity to claim to be true Americans on the same level with those who gave their all to maintain our freedom and values. They continually forget that this great freedom they enjoy did not come by being pacifists, but by the sacrifice of others.
If our founding father had been like these we would not be a free nation today, we would still be under the control of others. If we ever reach the point where we become a pacifist nation we will cease to be a free and independant nation.
The millions who have freely given their time, their wealth, and even their lives for the last 231 years did so as true dedicated Americans. Most of these never fought on the front lines of war, but did all they could to support our military personel here on the home front. These are truly worthy to be called Americans.
Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more of these pacifists,even among those who are in authority now. A growing number of our politicians, those who should be most ardent supporters of our troops and heritage are becoming more and more destroyers of the truth. These are just as anti American as those who take the streets and protest everything.
One thing is sure, if we had not fought Hitler and the Japanese on foreign soil we would have to had to fight them here on our own soil. If that had happened we would have not had allies to fight with us, but we would be standing alone against the rest of the world. Those like Hitler have been with us from the beginning and would never have been satisfied unless they conquered the entire world.
If you think these fanatical Islamists such as Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are any diferent you are only fooling yourselves. These extremists are willing to sacrifice even the lives of those who support them to acheive this goal. Their main goal is not only to destroy Israel, but to take control of the world. HAVE WE ALREADY FORGOTTEN 9-11, 2001?
One thing those who were born here or came from other nations forget. Our borders are open and they can leave any time they want. It they do not like our way of life and our laws, then go somewhere that has their kind of laws. We should not be required to change our values or laws just to pacify a minority. A democracy should be ruled by the desires of the majority.
IF YOU WERE BORN HERE OR CAME FROM ANOTHER NATION AND DO NOT LIKE OUR WAYS THEN '' GO HOME'' OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
If you are wondering what is the difference between religious zealots and Christians is here it is. The zealots will do anything, even murder to get people to follow them. A true Christian will reveal their ideas and faith, but will never use threats or force on others. We both have the same goal of reaching the world but we go about it differently. Christianity is not based on hate and murder, but on love and mercy. Expressing your ideas is not the same as trying to force others to accept them.
Those who accept homosexuality or abortion claim we are trying to force them to accept our views but that is not true for the true Christian. I realize there have been threats and even bombings of abortion doctors and clinics, but this is not the true way of our Lord Jesus Christ. Any one who does this in the name of christianity is a liar.
The atheists and other say we offend them with our faith and ideas, but they do not take into account that their ways and ideas are offensive to us. Even our court system has taken away our right to be offensive, but not the rights of others to offend us. Is this what we now call "Justice for all"?
Freedom to express ones ideas is a very important part of our constitution, and it most certainly must apply to all equally, and not in any wise show preference one way or the other. I respect their right to express their view, but they do not respect my right to do the same.
History has proven over and over again that nations the become pacifists have fallen. You either take a direct stand against the expremists or they will overcome you. You either stand firm for what is right or you allow youself to be compromised, in which case you will lose for sure.
We, here in America had better learn this fact fast is we have any hope of survival in the future. To please other nations is not the best things for us. We must maintain our way of live, our laws, and our values not matter what the rest of the world wants or become a puppet of theirs.
If you condone or support any other kind of law or idea or value that was espablished by our founding fathers you are not a true American. Our nation was founded on the priciples of the Word of God and to deny this is a lie. Our origial constitution was written by God fearing men who recognized the absolute neccessity of having our Almighty God involved in our nation.
The laws and values established by our founding fathers were made to preserve and protect our way of life, and any deviation from this intent will bring about our demise and eventual downfall.
I am an American and a Christian who will never bend or bow to the demands of others to please this modern anti God world.
Some in the church world seem to think that just because our merciful God has not already brought total destruction to us means he is accepting their changing ideas. "BE NOT DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED", and he will certainly and surely judge any who do this.
Ecclesiastes 8,11 " Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of man is fully set in them to do evil".
Have we forgotten that it was God and not ourselves that raised us up and made us the most powerful and prosperous nation on this earth? Have we forgotten that our God never changes? Do we not believe he can and will bring us down as a nation if we continue to rebel against him?
Jeremiah 18: 7" At what instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom to pluck up and pull down and to destroy it. 8" If that nation against whom I have pronounced evil turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil I thought to do to them. 9"And at what instant I speak concerning a kingdom to build it and plant it. 10"IF IT DO EVIL IN MY SIGHT,THAT IT OBEYS NOT MY VOICE, THEN WILL I REPENT OF THE GOOD WHEREWITH I SAID I WOULD BENEFIL THEM".
Israel was once called the children of God, and God blessed them above all other nations on the earth, but they forsook the laws of their fathers, land they ceased to be a nation for about 1900 years. Have we forgotten that it is the Almighty God and not man we have to answer to?
ANY ONE WHO IS NOT WILLING TO STAND FIRM AGAINST THE DEMANDS AND DESIRES OF OTHER NATIONS IS NOT A TRUE AMERICAN, EVEN IF YOU ARE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I have a very great concern and fear for this upcoming election next year. Will we decide to give in to our great enemy Satan or not. After all, he is the true enemy and he is the one who has infuuence of the the worldly ones. Will we doom our nation or hold firm and keep it free?
I am not a republican, nor a democrat, nor do I belong to any independent group, therefore I am free to speak and vote my own values and ideas. I have always voted on the concept of what the person stood for on biblical principles and was not concerned with ec2009onomy, education or any thing else. If we please God, he will certainly take care of all the other things. May God have mercy on us if we fail this time.

Now that the election is over, my fears have been confirmed and as far as I am concerned the worse has happened. Now we can only suffer the consequences of our rebellion against our Almighty God, and you can rest assured we will pay a severe price.
