God forbid that the government of the United States would be so proactive now in protecting and nourishing the American economy as to keep it the bar of achievement that the world looks to. Not only the government, but also the people of this country have ceased to protect and defend the land that they use as the arm through which they siphon the rich sweet blood of American opportunity and wealth into their leechlike parasitic bodies. This lack of concern and love for their country leads us to a disgusting trend in Arab-American culture.

I can’t help but wonder, do the people of Middle-Eastern descent that now live in America really want us to defend this land? Do they really want us to find the insurgents and the terrorists that plague their glorious “religion of peace”? Do they really want a peaceful state of being for their homeland? I don’t know that I believe that. They have made no attempt to prove otherwise.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Poles are not bombing us. The Germans are not bombing us. The Brazilians are not bombing us. The Islamic terrorists are, and the vast majority of them are Arabs. Don’t get upset with me for naturally taking a second look when they get on a plane. Why? Because 19 Dutch men didn’t fly one into the World Trade Center, and to my knowledge none have made it known that they want to. The response to my former statement proves in detail why I see such a lack of concern for the American good from our Arab brothers and sisters. The response is always the same. “We don’t deserve to be profiled.” I’m sorry, but if a lady just got robbed by a 6’5” white male in a predominately Spanish neighborhood, the only logical things to do when you see that white male is pull over and question him. When Islamic Arabs blow up the World Trade Center twice, when Islamic Arabs blow up trains in Spain, when Islamic Arabs blow up bus stations in England, I’m going to tend to look suspiciously at Arabs when I see them. I am honestly sorry that what I say is true. No veil of hatred covers my eyes, but one of logic does. It just so happens that there is a large group of people within the Arab race that want to kill me.

I understand that hundreds of thousands and millions of Arabs have no intentions whatsoever of harming Americans. The Arab-American mindset reminds me of the guy holding back the victim of a mugging from chasing after the robber while at the same time shouting, "Go get him! Go get him!" Do they really want us to hunt down and kill these terrorists or do their inner beliefs of a tyrannical greedy imperialist America shade their hearts?

If the Italians were terrorizing American cities and the U.S. government wanted to know who was a terrorist and who wasn't, I'd be the first in line to lay open the books of my life. I want the people of this nation to know that I have no intentions whatsoever of harming them or their lifestyles. Beaming with patriotism, I'd turn over the names of anyone I knew with Anti-American sentiment. KGB, you ask? No, turning over your parents to a communist dictatorship is the complete antithesis of warning your fellow citizens of a possible detriment to their existence.

The appropriate response from the Arab community would be to stand up and shout, "Search me, please." Well, if you aren't American enough to protect this nation that supports you before your homeland, maybe you aren't American enough to reap the benefits of one.

Well, am I right?

The problem is not that India is becoming a intellectual, technological, entrepreneurial, and economical powerhouse.  The problem is not that any other country might be doing the same.  The problem is that they are gaining this advantage through the resources provided by the United States meant to enhance our own standing.  Our colleges should be producing Americans on their way to creating a more successful America.  Our government should be providing Americans with a reason to want to plant their businesses here.  God bless anyone who wants to better themselves so that they can be successful, but above all, God bless America.  Let's create an environment that encourages and nurtures our own growth and development.  There's a lot to be done.  Here's how.

1.    Parents must instill in their children a strong work ethic, and a desire to succeed.
I am not against wealth.  I am against n-teen year olds who have been given everything and have nothing required of them being so ungrateful and taking so much for granted that they have become a useless lump of flesh.  They have no desire to learn, no desire to grow, no desire to succeed.  I am amazed at the teenage youth that I work with that have never picked up a book.  Life is about imitating and emulating their favorite know-nothing counterparts in the entertainment world.  No wonder poor little boys and girls in foreign countries that have dreamed of opportunity and are willing to work for it grow up and come to the United States to fulfill that dream.  A lack of that famous "American Ingenuity" and an abundance of listlessness will be the demise of our superiority among the world community.

2.    Schools must once again become schools.  
Our public school system is a flawed failure and is a disgusting embarrassment to those who look to us.  More money is not the answer.  My mother is a teacher in a public school.  She notes that at the end of the year her school chooses what big purchase to buy in order to use up the left over funds so that the federal government will not reduce next year's budget.  Why is it that we now have countless learning centers where kids having trouble in certain subjects can go to get help?  Isn't the point of the school to do that?  Start teaching math and science and history and english.  Throw out multi-cultural studies.  Cut out the field trips and the parties.  Stop spending time with "sensitivity assemblies" and "This Heritage Week" and "That Heritage Week".  Close down failing schools.  Fire failing teachers.  Raise the standard of difficulty.  Make grade values mean something again.  Hold back unprepared students.  Fire school administrators with no record of improvement.  Hold back funds.  Value our children!  Don't worry.  Being number two to China or India won't be so bad.

3.    Provide scholarships to American born students with majors in math and science and business.
You're a racist!  I'm a nationalist.  This is my nation.  These are our kids.  These are our colleges.  This is our future.  If you want to come and learn then come, but we want the best for our own.  Just like the economy needs stimulation, so do our prospective college students.  Give them an incentive.  Give them the advantage.

4.    Reduce the corporation and small business tax. 
In an effort to keep "big business" and capitalists down, the rich-hating left (ironically the ones that make up the celebrity world and are the ones that fill our big cities) have also sent many wouldbe business owners oversees.  They hate the idea of one company getting big and rich.  They want a piece of that action so they tax them to death.  What's foolish is their thought process.  If you lower the corporation tax more companies will be willing to spring up not only creating your competition that you yearn for, but also creating a stronger American economy to compete with the world.  What's more is that all those companies paying the lower tax will actually bring more revenue for the federal government than the few companies paying the higher tax.  That all doesn't really matter, though.  The left wants America to be on a level playing field with the rest of the world.

5.    Create large incentives for research and development.
This one's important.  We want American companies to produce better products than the world.  We want the world to buy our stuff and not vice versa.  We want to be the first to think of that next billion dollar idea and be the first to build it.  Therefore, create incentives,  tax breaks, tax credits, anything that will stimulate American companies to create the superior product.  We want the world's money coming in to us.  We don't want to be shelling it out to them.  Research and development is key in taking the next step forward.  Reward them for it.

6.    Place high tariffs on all imports.
Give Americans a reason to buy American.  Sure, they can sell their product here, but they aren't going to put American businesses out of sale because they can legally work a 9 year old boy to death for a penny a day.  Don't punish American's for living ethically.  Those cheap shoes don't look so good when suddenly that "labor camp special" goes away.  Buy American.

7.    Refuse to do business with any and all nations whose ethics and human rights standards would not be tolerated in America.
Stop doing business with communist governments.  Why are we, in one action, destroying the American economy and supporting the growth of evil tyrannical governments?  Don't trade with North Korea.  Don't trade with China.  Maybe that's too drastic for our pussycat politicians to dole out.  Is Cuba any different than other despot regimes?  No.  We wouldn't let American businesses operate in these slave labor standards, yet we will put them out of business and support these kind of actions by buying from these nations.

I want America to be the land of opportunity in 50 to 100 hundred years.  Let's make that a possibility.

Why it is that we look up to such illogical and unreasonable people as I am about to describe just because they classify themselves as scientists, and their beliefs as science (everyone else being close-minded religious simpletons) I will never know.

The following is a paraphrase by one of our "open-minded" scientists as to why both evolution and creation cannot be co-taught in our schools:
           
It would be one thing to teach two different theories of science, but in this debate we are not dealing with two sciences.   In this debate we are dealing with one science and one religion.  Therefore, to teach both would be harmful because you cannot teach science and religion together.

Solum veritas.  Only truth.  Let me preface my dissertation by stating that I am a "closed-minded" creationist.  Frankly, I believe both systems of teaching require faith.  Logically, it seems that "In the beginning God," takes less faith than "In the beginning dust."  But, preconceived notions aside, I will prove my close-mindedness to be more open-minded than that of the open-minded scientist.  Let us go forth in logic, common sense, and facts.

Based on its definition, science is, "The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena."  It is also described as, "a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths..."  Therefore, anything that logically observes, describes, investigates, and has a theoretical explanation of how things works would be science, correct?  Also, a branch of knowledge or study would be science.  And so we continue.

Let's go step by step to a conclusion.
1.    The universe is here. 
        That's not to hard to believe.  Let's move on.
2.    The universe got here one of two ways.  Either it was created by someone or within itself is the ability to evolve using nature itself to progress. 
        I'm not trying to trip anyone up through tricky words.  If I have not properly described the evolutionary process then I apologize.  The point is this.  Either someone made it or it evolved.  If a watch that was on the dresser is on the floor when you return home, one of two things happened.  Something of nature (dog, wind, earthquake) caused it to fall, or someone put it there.  It's that simple.
3.    Therefore, both evolution and creation have a 50/50 chance of being correct.  
        One cannot be "probably" be more likely than the other since neither can be reproduced and neither have witnesses.  Both are theories based on faith and discoveries that cannot be proven.  You cannot prove that a rock is 3,000,000,000 years old and you cannot prove that a fossil of a fish on top of a mountain is proof of Noah's flood.  They both have a 50% chance of being right.
4.    Whichever theory is correct is, based on the definition, science regardless of the presence or absence of God. 
        If evolution is correct, then it is a branch of knowledge describing how something works, and we call that science.  If creation is correct, than it would have to be considered science.  You cannot say that something cannot be considered science just because there is a diety involved.  Based on the truth that there is a 50/50 chance for each of them to be correct, creation may be correct.  If creation is correct, than "God created the heavens and the earth," is science.  Because if God really did create everything, than creation is science.  Do not be so close-minded to write something off because "God" is implicated.  That's the opposite of what true scientific reasoning should conclude.
5.    If one of the two are correct, and which ever one is correct is the real science, then both should be considered scientific theories and studies. 
        We aren't dealing with one science and one religion.  We are dealing with two sciences.
6.    Therefore, if dealing with two different scientific possibilities with equal opportunities to be correct (and my money going to teach it), both should be taught in an effort to seek TRUTH.

Need I say more?

A person's perception is his reality.  Note, that this is a reality based on his perception and perception is by definition vision based on a position.  If we were to stand facing a wall of trees, our position may cause our vision to perceive that we were in store for a long hard journey through a dense forest.  Yet, if we were to stand only 50 yards forward of our current position and were able to see that vast clearing split down the middle by a paved road, our position would cause our vision to perceive that the journey ahead wasn't going to be so bad.

For this reason, I strongly believe that in effort to find the truth we should never base our beliefs on our position or our perception.  Discernment is the key to finding not only the truth but also the answers to the issues at hand.  We must discern the true core of the question at hand and begin to work from there.  I believe that this is one of the key reasons that certain political affiliations and their followers have such off track unreasonable answers and beliefs.  They look at the wrong perspective.  Let me illustrate.

I was recently counseling a teenage boy who had fallen into league with a certain group of people whose interests had caused three families major problems.  The most recent was the boy's own father who left his wife.  The boy's Pastor stressed to him the dangers of following this same trail.  I too dealt with the boy, backing up his Pastor's teaching.  The boy came back with the argument that he just didn't see the connection between what his father had done and this path he was taking.  His new "leader" had convinced him that there really was no bad side effects to what they were involved in.

This here is the same problem I see in the political world.  He wasn't seeing the boiled down point.  He was looking at it from the wrong perspective.  The point is not whether or not we could prove to him what was wrong with what he was doing.  The point is that he should have been teachable.  He should be able to look to those older and wiser and say, "I don't necessarily understand, but I will obey."  Obedience to authority is more important for a teenager than understanding every little aspect of what they teach.

Boil it down.  Always look at each and every situation and find one of two things.  Number one: What is my primary goal?  Number two: What rule is preeminent in this situation?

For example, (and I will write about this situation in more detail in the future).  Do we as Americans with open arms accept those from other countries that are hungering, longing to find solace in a land of freedom and opportunity?  Yes.  But...with the immigration issue there is a goal that is preeminent to the U.S. policy of acceptance.  It is the goal of protecting those that already are American citizens.  See, when you look at it after boiling it all down to the core, when you look for the preeminent goal or rule, you find the truth.  That's when you realize, we aren't racists for denying people to cross our borders.  We aren't "destroying the American way".  We are simply being true to our primary goal before we are able to have the benefit of one of our secondary goals.

Too many of our politicians focus on the wrong perspective.  Gun control.  "We need stop children from being able to commit violence to those around them."  Once again.  Wrong.  Our primary goal is to create in our children a heart that has no desire to murder.  Columbine did not occur because we failed to stop violence.  It occurred because we failed to capture the hearts of two teenage boys and direct them in the right path.  Problem?  We failed to find the primary goal.

Most people believe the end is more important than the means.  Again, we fail.  Many well-meaning people would love to introduce others to their religion if only they'd listen.  That's the "end".  Holding up those people in a bank at gunpoint would not be the right "means".  We all have an agenda.  We all want things to go our way.  Those may be honorable ends, but if we cannot reach them by honorable means, we have failed.

The examples could go on and on.  Solum veritas.  Only truth.  We must put aside our bias and personal perspective and speak "only truth".  Logic, common sense, and facts.  I truly believe that through those three elements a large portion of those good-natured well-meaning Americans who have been force-fed facts by the means of CNN, Ted Turner, Rosie O'Donnell, Nancy Pelosi, and countless other "false-perspective" advisors would change their views 180 degrees.  The year 2008 would be a landslide year for the right.  Let us speak in logic, common sense, and facts.  Let us teach only truth, solum veritas.  Let us always discern (pervisum) to find the truth.
