AMERICA IS WHAT IT IS BY THE PEOPLE'S CONSENT no excuses, no alibis and no victims

by Dorothy Anne Seese

Every day I get some request to sign a petition to "keep America from going down the drain" or some such language. It's always my last chance to place my name somewhere that "I" can make a difference, where the petition will go to our Congress and stop everything from people hugging trees to same sex marriages to preserving our freedoms and constitutional liberties. My foot! Our constitutional liberties started down the drain around 1865 and they haven't stopped, although until September, 2001, the facts weren't as obvious as they are now. And it's even more obvious that the loss of our freedoms is not so obvious to most Americans because until it hits their pocketbooks they don't give a spit. Americans vote their wallets, not their liberties!

This is now a nation of some 280 million souls from the newborn to the aged. Perhaps 10 to 20 million of these are illegal immigrants, aliens, whatever you wish to call them, and some of them vote. I'm sure they really care about our American heritage, tradition, culture, customs and the original purpose of founding the United States. No they don't, they like the giveaways, handouts and good living for which they have to work a helluva lot less (if at all) than they did back in their native land.

We have an appointed Supreme Court that has stretched its jurisdiction over constitutional matters so thin you can read the phone book through it. Has anyone reined them in? Is there a general move to impeach? No! There are a few petitions running loose on the internet and a lot of whiners who are never going to do anything more than whine.

Our military is getting sick of being in Iraq and losing buddies every day at the hands of those who were supposed to be grateful to us for "liberating" them, while a man in England lies dead for telling the BBC about the "sexed up" information that was supposedly given to Prime Minister Tony Blair and relied upon by U.S. President George W. Bush in his great State of the Empire address earlier this year. Well shades of Vincent Foster, just an ocean apart.

Isn't this enough to make the American public sick? Or were they so conditioned by the thirty-nine bodies in the wake of the Clinton rise to power that our nation is just a shadow away from being run by Tony Soprano and his boys? Even if Tony Soprano were elected or appointed to high office, would Americans care? Oh, some of us would still be on the internet, spitting in the wind about the fact that our once highly regarded nation has hit the skids, we're now just short of being a police state and the One World Order has taken over from the shadows behind the leadership.

The fact is, fifty-six men pledged their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor" to establish a nation in which people could prove that liberty is the best means to secure a productive and honorable nation. Most of them had to give all three in the cause of liberty. We don't have that caliber of people around now, we have nanny-state sucklings who speak PC all over their workplace and then come home to cuss about it, or write about it, but not gather to organize to change it, by ballot, bullet or pulpit.

People are "shocked, I say, shocked" at the spread of the legalization of homosexual marriage. Why? We've been nannying the homosexual agenda for twenty years, going to movies and watching television, attending on and off Broadway shows glamorizing the homosexual lifestyle, allowing the children to be taught this garbage in school while moms whine out of hearing shot of the school officials, lest their kids get expelled or they get on the principal's blacklist.

Now the Supremes (not the musical group) wrap their sanctimonious black robes around homosexual unions and the natural outcome of "sowing and reaping" has caught up with us. Shocked? I'm shocked it hasn't happened earlier! How long do twit-brained Americans with a federal indoctrination (misnamed education) think that the propaganda machine can crank out sewage day and night and expect a bouquet of flowers to emerge from the pile of filth? Flowers grow from seeds and a little fertilizer is needed, but fertilizer, not human sewage. We've buried ourselves in our own excrement and told ourselves that we're growing tolerant. No we aren't tolerant and we aren't adherents of diversity, we are stinking idiots.

After more than 200 known/admitted deaths of "coalition" forces in Iraq, as a result of our invasion of a sovereign nation whose butcher of Baghdad was no worse than the Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe we don't touch, and the deaths of uncounted Iraqi citizens, civilians for the most part, numbering at least in the thousands if not double-digit thousands, American citizens are still supporting President Bush, the warhawks of his cabal, and his pal Tony (Blair, not Soprano). How can this be? One soldier is honest enough to tell the press that "Mr. Rumsfeld should resign" and he's probably setting himself up to meet with either a court martial or some fatal accident. But it won't be reported. We're a land of free speech except for the military. However, it is this writer's position that when the military is right and the commander-in-chief is wrong, dead wrong, the military and all of it from General Franks and his replacement on down should say "no more, we're coming home."

They probably could if most Americans were behind them and not Bush II. It was easier to get rid of George III in 1781 than it is to get rid of George II in 2003-2004, unless this WMD mess of lies disillusions his staunch followers into a major Election 2004 revolt, then what do we have as an alternative? Ketchup Kerry, a fellow Skull and Bones zillionaire? We do not have a viable third party in this nation and unless and until we do have one, there is no chance of putting a stop to the rampant globalization, tax-rape of citizens for unjust wars and nanny states, and any semblance of a return to the kind of liberty our forefathers envisioned.

And none of these thugs could have gotten into office or stayed there if Americans voted integrity instead of their wallets. Clinton won a second term by popular belief that he was bolstering the American economy, no one bothered (at least on major media) to tell the people their "economy" was a giant balloon headed for an oversized stickpin from Alan Greenspan's magic hat.

America is where it is because the American public refuses to become involved in anything that might jeopardize their personal idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of licentiousness; they refuse to believe there is such a thing as a shadow government ruling from behind the invisible curtain and they refuse to believe our leaders and our major media would lie to them. As a consequence of this mindlessness and self-delusion, we have an America our founders never intended and a future that is more than uncertain as far as being a future at all.

Thus we can conclude that America today is what it is with the consent of the majority of the people who will not take a stand for the America our founders envisioned. They love their relativism, the licentiousness, the "tolerance" of the intolerable and the fun and games that used to be an affront to public decency. They shriek at NAMBLA but for how long? "For the children" is just a stupid slogan to get tax increases passed and when it comes to raising children in an environment once considered proper and within moral boundaries, someone heads to court with an ACLU lawyer in tow to sue for their "constitutional rights."

All right ... this is our America! It's one even our soldiers are beginning to hold in contempt because of unjust wars and undue hardships that came out of a "liberation" movement that was supposed to be a piece of cake. Well, the knives didn't cut the cake, they went into the backs of US military personnel, if not as knives then as bullets or grenades.

Life today in the US is very cheap. Apparently it's very cheap in the United Kingdom (formerly Great Britain) and if life is cheap in the nations that supposedly lead the free world, what business do we have pointing the finger at human rights abuses in other nations? The housecleaning begins at home, not abroad.

Well voting public ... if I'm still around when Election 2004 arrives, I'm not voting for either an elephant or a jackass, I'll vote for someone else if I have to write in my own name!

That's called voting my conscience. Nothing else is.

Mercy ... I wish Tony Blair and George Bush would take advantage of our new laws, get married and retire on a permanent honeymoon to some Caribbean island and take their cabals with them. If any two people deserved each other for a lifetime of wedded bliss, it's those two.

But let's hear no more excuses from Americans about what is wrong with America. It's the damned public that was brought up on the nanny state, nothing else and nothing less. Yes we still have Real Americans in this nation but don't make Falwell's error of calling them any kind of "majority." We're a vocal minority and how long we'll be allowed to be vocal is now in question.

If you doubt that, try and form an armed militia. Since all 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights depend on the second, the right to keep and bear arms, that's the one that's under attack immediately if any of our serfs try to arm to defend their constitutional rights.

Your neighbors will look the other way if you are shot or dragged away. Believe it.
