God Fearing Christians Need to get Involved.

It may appear like insanity has taken over, but it has not. The news media, in my opinion, shines the light on issues they believe will given them audience for the commercials they run during news programs.

It is a business and like all businesses, it needs to make money.

In addition, it is a business with, in my opinion, many liberals working in it. Furthermore, I think that these liberals have a specific agenda of homosexual marriages, abortion support, and fixing social problems with government programs.

Moreover, in my opinion many of these liberals lace their news reports with a positive spin towards their agenda and against the conservative agenda.

I can say I have an agenda. This agenda is promoting mental health of the individual with a positive philosophy.

I have been alive long enough and have paid enough attention to now know that dreams are nice but you do have to look at the reality that you find yourself in to make your dreams come true.

I make this last statement because I think we (people living with in the united states borders) are dreaming of peace.

Peace is great. I support the President on all his initiatives. Though it might look like the president and I are obstacles to peace, in my opinion, we have a grasp on the real problem.

I would like to see who on the left of center in American politics is willing to invite terrorist in to their homes for peace talks.

The enemy is real. We have done nothing to this enemy except exist. At this moment there are many people trying to gauge the reasons and motives for terrorist behavior.

I have written that I believe there is an economic industry of opposition. The old Soviet system marketed it self better than capitalism. Therefore, they saw themselves in opposition of capitalism.

Democrats believe that government run social programs are the answer to drug abuse, gangs, high school dropouts, teen-age pregnancies, crime, and many other social ills. Republicans favor personal responsibility and earning your way in life.

People in middle east countries who want to manage the wealth of the country brain wash Islamic people in believing that capitalism is the enemy and they need to destroy this enemy.

I would say I support a system that allows for opportunity and participation over one that limits its clients.

When I was studying, I managed to work for a couple of social programs. One was a rehabilitation center for minor gang members who had committed crimes. The other was head start program.

Let me say that the people in these organizations were very hyperactive about their contribution in these programs.

Where they failed was in actually having success. These organizational employees allowed the system to be taken over by the clients they were serving. In the rehabilitation center the gang members would not do anything because they knew all they had to do was complain to administration and administration would give them what they wanted to avoid trouble.

In the head, start program administration was so far removed from the actual schools that what was suppose to happen did not happen. In my experience, the staff at the schools were suffering from a high degree of immaturity and trying to run the location. In addition, there were no established chain of command.

I offer this, as evidence that sometimes well-intentioned individuals idealistic believe in the program, however, they do not have the real skills to function in a complicated environment.

That is my view of liberals. They are well intentioned, but suffer in a true understanding of human behavioral dynamics. They have no true idea what moves people to action.

People in need should get assistance. However, a person treasures what he or she earns more than what is given to them.

Every single one of us at one point in life was free of marriage, children, debt, and mental health frustrations.

When we are young, we should have a clear vision of where we want to get in life and what we have to do to get there.

In addition, life is not about jobs and money. However, in our industrial economy a good paying career is what is going to provide a good standard of living.

Neither poverty nor hardship is an excuse to let yourself go and not meet your personal responsibilities.

Right now, I would say that the greatest danger to America is political system dominated by liberals and democrats where people who believe in personal responsibility and morality do not make a positive contribution.

Therefore, we think we have met the enemy and the enemy is a terrorist.

However, we are our enemy.

Well actually American citizens that do not inform themselves of the issues and vote are the enemy.

Any one can be pulled to action by having their emotions manipulated. Human tragedy should move some kind of reaction in all of us. It is how we know we are human.

However, wrapping you self up in the blanket of human tragedy and saying we are the only ones that care is not good citizen contribution, in my opinion.

I see many Americans that are ashamed of their beliefs. Some where in this political correctness mess people got the impression that their values did not matter and/or are offensive.

What I have noticed is that political correctness is never invoked to give Christians the same amount of respect and consideration as the poor, homosexuals, and people of other religions.

It appears that you can be everything but a Christian in this so called politically correct world.

Well that is not true. The majority in this country is composed of people who value marriage, raise their children right, and have respect for others and believe in personal responsibility.

The news is making a big deal of Bush’s popularity rating measured by the polls. Well before the last presidential election, the polls had Mr. Bush as an underdog, yet the president one with overwhelming support.

I believe that news media will beat an issue to death by reporting it over an over just to cause hardship to some one that does not represent their liberal agenda.

This is why people who believe that children should mind their manners, marriage, parenthood, earning your keep, and treating people with respect need to stop being manipulated by a liberal news media.

Every one is right. American children should not be dying in Iraq. However, more than 20 years of bickering and fighting among political group created an environment where September 11, bombing of a naval ship, and a ruler of a nation could thumb his nose at the United Nations could happen.

All of this happened because of the citizens who refused to get involved. America’s heart is a God fearing heart that measures action with temperance.

It is good to care. It is good to want to get involved. I personally encourage people to give.

There are a lot of people out there that would find hope in the smile of a friend. However, I will not ask any government to spend all its money trying to motivate people who wont help themselves.

The American government is a corporation. It can only spend the money that taxpayers give it.

There is not enough wealth to create Big Dragon social government program.

America cannot meet its challenges if her citizens do not get involved.

Every day I see people who never learned to dream. With my conversations with them, it seems that they are waiting for some one to give them something.

They live in a poverty of human spirit and they do not know how to get themselves out of the mud.

I hold all people who criticize hard work, effort, sacrifice, personal responsibility, and morality responsible for all human tragedy.

It is unconceivable to make people in to victims of hopelessness just to win elections.

The majority of Americans are hard working performers and producers who need to recognize that if they not take care of where they conduct business than they will not be able to say anything when they loose their country.
