“What’s Going On”
- Marvin Gaye
Looking back at the last week and a half, I get a little frustrated. You had Hugo Chavez talking smack on American soil, that creep from Iran also, former President Bill Clinton going off in an interview, Sheesh…. What’s next?
As it has been said, “when the center does not hold, things fall apart”. Baby, Western civilization’s shit is getting raggedy. At the rate we are going we have 20-25 years tops before it all comes tumbling down. Or, we can cut out all the dumb shit and get this great experiment called America back on track and continue the journey.
To my friends on the left, and some of my friends on the right, do not be mistaken, America has been, and is the best and only hope for a sane, safe world. Warts and all, America’s existence has been a stabilizing force on this planet. Show me another country that had the capability to subjugate the world and did not attempt to do so. Show me another country that has historically sent it’s young men and women into harm’s way and only asked for enough ground to bury those unfortunate enough to be killed. Show me another country that approaches anywhere close to the scale of freedom and prosperity that Americans have, show me.
I fear the appeasers amongst us will never understand what is at stake. The world seems to be reliving that nightmare of a year1932, sitting back, giving instead of being firm, allowing the enemies of freedom to grow stronger- much like the world did when Hitler was amassing one of the most efficient armies the world had ever seen. Hitler would couple that army with his Nazi ideology and damned near conquer the world. As Nazi Germany led by a madman rose in power, it inspired Japan to make a bid for it’s share of the world. History has a tendency to repeat itself, that is, if we allow it. God, I hope we don’t wait to late to deal with our enemies, I hope that at some point all the leaders in America recognize the threats that face us. At least step back and ask,”what’s going on”.

The reason is the Founding Fathers recognized as self evident that all men are created equal and were endowed by their Creator with life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
What's usually missing when people read and reflect on these thoughts is the phrase "self evident".
The "self evidence" of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can be witnessed within all of God's creatures who go about their daily (or nightly) lives with their God given liberty and pursuing the happiness of their respective creaturehood.
Humans uniquely have the power to deprive himself and other creatures their God given rights.
