ONCE UPON A TIME.....

THAT IS THE LINE USED IN FAIRY TALES.
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA.
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS FREEDOM (FROM GOVERNMENT) IN AMERICA.
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN AMERICA....

THE REALITY IS THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED FOR LONG. THESE WERE THE IDEALS, THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF MEN,, MEN WHO HAD TO FIGHT FOR THEM....

AMERICA WAS FLAWED FROM THE FOUNDING; AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE
FOUNDERS WERE MEER MEN; FLAWED AND SINFUL MEN; BUT THESE MEN
REACHED UP TO GRASP THE HIGHER IDEALS FOUND IN GOD, IN HIS WORD,, IN
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
IT IS BY HIS GRACE AND MERCY THAT AMERICA HAS LASTED THIS LONG.....
THROUGH WARS AND DEPRESSIONS, THROUGH STORMS AND EARTHQUAKES.
AS LONG AS MEN SOUGHT GODS WISDOM,, AMERICA PROSPERED.

WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO CONDEMNS THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA.
WELL,, HE'S RIGHT. AS I HAVE SAID,, MEN ARE FLAWED; BUT THIS PRESIDENT
HAS TOLD US THAT AMERICA WILL BE PERFECTED THROUGH HIS LEADERSHIP,
HIS IDEAS, HIS POLICIES.....IS HE NOT A MAN? IS HE NOT A FLAWED CREATURE??

HOW CAN YOU ATTAIN PERFECTION FROM IMPERFECTION?? IF THE ROOT IS
POISENED, SO THEN IS THE FRUIT........OBAMAS MESSAGE IS A FAIRY TALE.......
THE WISDOM OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES INFORMS US THAT WITHOUT GOD
WE CAN'T LIVE  HEALTHFULLY, PEACEFULLY, HAPPILY OR PROSPEROUSLY...
