The Real ProblemWe all must admit that America has problems, serious ones. The economy is the one that has everybody's attention right now, but the two wars we're fighting are not going away, the drug cartels in Mexico threaten our border towns, the education system is and has been bogged down in politics and our inner city streets have become jungles where only the predators dare to show their faces after dark and, as you know, the list goes and on.We put the blame for our problems mostly on politics, trying in vain to elect someone or some party who has the answers to the myriad of ills befalling this nation and we can go on doing that until the Rocky Mountains are worn down to a nub and never get anywhere, until we face the truth.The problems in this country come from one simple failing, we have turned our backs on Almighty God. We have become a nation of politically correct wimps who get lead around by the nose by a handful of dedicated liberal globalists who are determined to turn this country into a Godless secular socialist state where the elite rule and live like kings and the rest of us do what we're told.In retrospect, we all see that our current financial mess was caused by greed and by politicians who either didn't know or didn't care about what happened to America as long as they could stay in power.It is becoming common in this nation to call good evil and evil good and there's a specific warning about that in the Holy Bible and if you don't believe the Holy Bible is the truth, you may as well stop reading this piece because you're fixing to get a big dose of the same.We refuse to acknowledge evil, we always have an excuse for someone's bad behavior.We blame horrible crimes on environment. Well, environment is never going to change as long as society condones things like unwed births, children having children, children who had no home lives themselves bringing other children into the world to be raised on meager welfare checks, and left to run wild in the streets, never even knowing who their fathers are.Do you want to put a stop to this America? It's simple. In this day of DNA, indentifying the father of a child is easy.There should be a federal law that whoever fathers a child supports the needs of that child until they reach the age of majority.No excuses, no exceptions. If the father is on drugs let him go cold turkey in a jail cell until he kicks the habit and then he goes to work. If he runs, he goes right back to jail and stays there working on a road gang until he decides he wants to get serious about supporting the children he's fathered.It's called personal responsibility, and it's sorely missing in America today.You want to clean up the neighborhoods? Take the drug dealers down hard. Take the gloves off our police forces and if that includes some bloodshed, so be it. You live by the sword you die by it.You want to make education better? There's a foolproof way. Just start passing out school vouchers and let the free market control the quality of education as parents choose schools they feel are best suited for their children. The teacher's unions will never improve education, because with them, it's not about education, it's about politics and power.We abort millions of babies in this nation every year and call it choice. That's the danger of political correctness, when you can change the name of wanton murder to something as innocent as choice.There are states making same sex marriage legal, the new administration is approving the use of the unborn in stem cell research -even though adult stem cells seem to be what really holds promise- and nobody knows where that is going to lead.The Al Gore crowd screams "global warming" as if man could control the climate and tides, perpetrating a lie that is nothing more than another step toward globalism.The media promotes living together out of wedlock and X-rated pornography cable channels flourish.A smidgen of Atheists push the courts around and force their will on the majority of Americans in the name of fairness. Where is the fairness?Let's take a look at the cold hard truth.This nation was not founded by Atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims or Satan worshippers. This nation was found and founded by Christians and our values are based on Judeo-Christian beliefs.While our law allows for any person to worship any god they want to in this country, the founders and framers of the federal papers only acknowledged one. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Jehovah, The Great I Am; commonly acknowledged by Christians and Jews as the only true God.America was founded on this belief and the further we get away from it the more dangerous our future becomes.In my humble opinion it's time for America to take it's medicine, a huge dose of unvarnished, untainted, undiluted gospel truth.A note to you cherry pickers, save your breath.Pray for our troops, and for our country.What do you think?God Bless AmericaCharlie Daniels
