OKAY, WHERE THE HELL DO WE GO FROM HERE?

By:  Sandra Price

The election is over and we are going to have to learn to live with President Bush for 4 or more years.  My fears lie in a massive bomb going off in one or more of our large cities and the government declaring a state of martial law.  If any of you can remember Clinton ’s famous Executive Order turning everything over to FEMA under Janet Reno’s command, you can catch the drift of my fears.

Are we supposed to feel safer now that President Bush is in charge?  I don’t but then I’m a Fiscal Conservative not a Social Conservative so for me any chance at a limited government went out the door with the other old Conservative party. 

I’m seeing a group of neocons who will not rest until America has the whole Middle East under control and we have taken over all the countries in that area who are oil producers.  They want a totally safe Israel but so do most of us but with more of a hand’s off approach. 

Did the GOP actually vote for a One World Order Leader?  Is the GOP really ready to turn over our American sovereignty to the world at this time?  Did the GOP hand over total power not only of the Republican Party but the whole damn Federal Government to the neocons?  I know of very few who did this and simply voted for Bush to keep gays from marrying legally.  What an arrangement did they make for this ridiculous trade?  Did Moral Values really play a part in their decision to vote for Bush or were many of the members of the religious right guilty as hell of breaking all the rules that Bush wanted brought into the constitution and their guilt made them do it? 

Last night I heard a talk on the religious right and what they expect from Bush now that they returned him to the Presidency.  The discussion centered on the new television series on “desperate wives” or something like that and when the ratings for this show were brought up it turned out the Bible belt declared it in the top 5 as did Utah .  I shake my head in wonder!

I keep reading that we Americans must search out and destroy the Islamic terrorists but they keep moving around and we are always a day late in our bombing sprees and keep wondering where and who is the enemy.  I know!  It is Osama Bin Laden and why the hell he isn’t lying in pieces in a mountain ravine somewhere is unconscionable.  I also know that the Iraqi people are the ones killing our troops and beheading our allies and yet we still act like we are in a holy war. 

I’ve asked many Republicans if they really want to continue this war against Islam when they realize how many Islamic Mosques are being built in our cities in America .  They do not realize that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world possibly with every intention of picking up America as the cherry on the cake.  They do not realize we brought on 911 by our own actions by not respecting the holy land of the Islamic people and planting our troops where they did not belong. 

How would we react if suddenly the Mexican Army set up a base in New Mexico and began arming it to take over the whole region?  Hell, we would blow them off the face of the earth to tell the rest of the world, nobody moves in on America !!  Well that was the message OBL and his Taliban sent to America on 911. 

The Republican Party I belonged to for 50 years would never want another world war especially if it took on an entire religious group.  But then the GOP I belonged to were freedom fighters based on the laws in the Constitution not in the Bible.  The groups behind President Bush at this time don’t even know who we are fighting and why.  They only know they want abortions and gay marriages prohibited and if they get the world war thrown in, it doesn’t matter.  Well, it matters to me!!!

Here’s my main concern.  If America is, in fact, a Christian Nation why are so many of our young Americans joining up with the Muslim groups in America ?  One can stop any group of Black Americans on the street and check out for yourself how many have Muslim names.  Have these black youths felt ignored by the American system for too long and will strike out against the system in their own ways?  I have never lived in the South so I don’t know if this disenfranchisement is factual or merely a form of whining, but I do know it exists and could be the key to our losing our own American security when the fit hits the shan.   This is not just a poverty problem as many of our multi-million dollar athletes are now sporting Muslim names and even dress as they do in the Middle Eastern countries.

I personally found nothing of value in the Christian religion and I wonder how many others simply say they are Christians and only follow the crowd behind a man like G.W. Bush?

I know that Bush has pissed off many of us Republicans and has presented too many actions that throw our fiscal minds nearly out of control.  The growing debt and trade deficit is ridiculous.  His giving in to President Fox of Mexico is a killer to our even trying to balance the State Budgets.  He has the House and Senate behind him and if one asks the voters why they voted for the same men and women that nearly put us in the poor house the last 4 years they will say “I do not want abortions and same sex marriages”

So it appears the GOP is voting for the bible and not for our American freedoms or security.  So I ask again.  

WHERE THE HELL DO WE GO FROM HERE?

This mind set will continue and the automatic backing of our President and his neocons will keep us at war indefinitely with no clear-cut end game and more death and savage actions than America has ever seen before.  We may not be able to rid America of this leadership after the big one is delivered on one of our cities.  The time to vote him and his spineless congress out of office was on November 2nd.   

Sadly the abortion and gay marriage issue was swallowed by the Christian coalition and they went out to all the churches and did their thing. So we are stuck with Bush for 4 years or until we are put into a state of Military control under our Federal Government and we will be forever lost to even a small piece of the Constitution. 

230 years of American Freedoms is all we were able to keep before we sold it to the religious right.
