“The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to 'create' rights. Rather they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.”
– Justice William J. Brennan (1906-1997) U. S. Supreme Court Justice
I know that God is still on the throne and that only He is our answer through his son, the King of Glory, Jesus the Messiah. As for this country, my heart hurts and especially during July 4th celebrations for what we once were and what we have now become. I need to write about this... because whenever I think of what has happened to us, tears spring to my eyes. The fact is our electorate has purposely been dumbed down and most of them haven't a clue. Sadly that includes a lot of Tea Party folks, Oath Keepers, We the People, and lesser known groups.
I know that prayer is the only thing that will save us. I know that as a country we must get on our faces and plead with God for mercy. I know that the only chance we have of saving our republic and liberty is with God. I know that the enemy of freedom is satan (purposely not capitalized) and that this entity wants us in chains. I know that every day the chains grow stronger and tighter. I know that it may be too late when the rest of the sleeping giant awakes. And I know that in many hearts the knowledge of our bondage is known and rebelled against daily with every fiber of our beings. I know that many people believe it is too late. I also know that until my dying breath I cannot give up fighting for what my country once was, the greatest bastion of freedom ever known in world history.
I have a handful of good friends in Knoxville who know the truth of what is happening and the depth of the betrayal by our politicians and representatives. Throughout the country I have many other friends that also are aware of the vast conspiracy to destroy the greatest nation on earth and her people.
These friends know that both the right and left have been in bed together with the same agenda for decades. When one has found that those that claim they are on our side are actually working with the enemy, why would one want to keep them?

In 1966, Carroll Quigley wrote Tragedy and Hope. He was a professor in the History Department at Georgetown University and Bill Clinton's mentor. He wrote on page 1247 of his book, and I will quote:
The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in details of procedure, priority, or method....Now, this is what exists today in America. The above book had its first printing in 1966 and the powers that be (CFR, etc) were so horrified that he had let out so many secrets that the book was not reprinted and Macmillan destroyed the plates. It wasn't until 1974 that Jack Meserole got permission from Quigley and reprinted it and sold it for his cost. Quigley laughed because he knew the noose was so tight around the necks of Americans that even with the truth of his book, nothing would change.Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still puruse, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.
The thing that I am trying to do -- and it is not to separate and fraction those that love freedom -- is to weed out those that are in agreement with the enemy of freedom and liberty. To have any chance of saving this failing and all but lost Republic, we must find and vote only for those who are not owned... and have no allegiance to those that are connected with the enemy of liberty and freedom. The problem is the phony so-called "Christian" right and their influence in propaganda and brainwashing of America's electorate and they have been at it a long, long time through the Republican Party.

This is why nothing ever changes even when the Republicans have had control of the House, Senate, and White House. Voting for a Republican does not mean we are "safe." Rockefeller Republicans are the so-called moderates or cultural liberals. Take a look at Olympia Snowe, John McCain, Susan Collins, Scott Brown, Ben Nelson, and dozens of others. When Henry Kissinger and Newt Gingrich are called conservatives, what in heaven's name does the word even mean? Where are those that love the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and even have read it? I highly doubt there is more than a handful of politicians in D.C. today who have opened our constitution and refreshed themselves of our laws and liberties.
Americans that love freedom absolutely must take the time to do research on every single candidate for office as well as groups claiming they will help and asking for donations every time we turn around. We simply must investigate and vet each and every one of them and we absolutely must be involved in the primary elections. And we must above all things get on our faces and pray for our country. The very best thing we all should do is take the few minutes each day to read God's Word and I would suggest in chronological order. The Manufacturer's Handbook has the answers to all of life's problems and the solutions for today.
When I see the fireworks in the sky and the American flags waving on the fourth of July, tears run down my cheeks for what we have lost and what we once were... the greatest nation on earth. I want her back and so should every God fearing and freedom loving American.

Although I empathize with the author, I strongly believe there are some things that have been set in motion that cannot be turned back - The titanic has hit the iceberg.
I am speaking only of the economy, though. The culture CAN be turned around. I was shocked a few weeks ago when my liberal daughter, who is surrounded by liberal friends, mentioned that all her friends, since Urkel’s election as president, have become significantly more conservative in just the last year.
Prayer is the answer, but Bible prophesy gives us some clues as to how bad it will get.
The author brings up why I, and so many other Republicans, are no longer republicans. The OP very closely parallels my take on the whole thing, though I’m not really sure who the “Christian Right” is, and what they are saying that is wrong that the author mentions.

God bless GulagBound. The research on the Frankfurt School has been a real eye opener for me. In fact, it’s been keeping me very, very busy. You’ll see what I mean one day. FRegards ....
