Mike Vanderboegh blows the whistle on the secret dinners of the mainstream media, which explains their coordinated group-lick of the boots of the jackbooted thugs.

All of these cases in South Carolina and around the nation have a direct Mexican connection.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/28/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
21 Guns Salute has a must-read on the practice of 'drug control' similar to gun control, which places grown adults in the position of a child that needs supervision. Great read!
Conservative Libertarian Outpost blogs on one heckuva event conducted by a true star who happens to be a fierce gun-rights proponent.
Alphecca echoes my sentiments exactly concerning that idiot, Jimmy Carter.
Blogstitution blows the whistle on the great ethanol hoax. Turns out it ain't 'green' at all. Surprised? No? Didn't think so.
Way Up North notes that liberals are so scared of Sarah Palin that they wish to destroy her completely.
Bloviating Zeppelin highlights the silver lining behind the dark cloud of the Mexican swine flu problem.
Breda posts all the info on her main page concerning tonight's edition of Gun Nuts Radio.
Insight on Freedom has what could very well be the must-read of the YEAR! Friends, this is dead-serious. The U.N.'s rules and regulations now override the U.S. Constitution! We warned this was coming if the perfect political storm arrived in Washington--an ultra-liberal President with an ultra-liberal Congress. Read it all, and ponder what should be done.
Days of our Trailers points to more corruption in Chicago. Nothing good ever came out of there but the Cubs.
Robb Allen writes about his preparations for a big shoot coming up this weekend. I particularly like the part about smoking a cigar as part of the action. Nothing like a good stogie.
Sebastian points out that New Yorkers are still finding ways to kill each other, despite 'the Bastard's' rabid anti-gun stance.
Say Uncle issues an urgent action alert concerning a Tennessee bill on restaurant carry.
Pax Parabellum says that Fox News is reporting that GOP Senator Arlen Specter is going to run for re-election as a Democrat. Makes no difference to me. I wouldn't vote for that idiot if he were Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Presbyterian. Wait, that last one is a denomination. WEll, you get the point.
Tam points out that since Obama has been such a good gun and ammo salesman, perhaps we can use his considerable talents in another area as well. Take a look.
The Wandering Minstrel provides excellent reading entitled, 'Why Carry a Gun?'
Walls of the City comments on Baracky Obami's embarrassing yet hilarious problems with the teleprompter. Apparently he can't think without one.
Nicki has the latest numbskullery on the part of Janet Napolitano at DHS.
From St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner: 'Jimmy Carter thinks millions of Americans are aspiring cop killers, mass murderers.'
Western Rifle Shooters Association posts 2 thought-provoking quotes from Goethe.
Sipsy Street Irregulars presents vital reading on a dangerous person within the Obama administration who wants an Internet Fairness Doctrine imposed on the electorate. Read it all.
Codrea's Gun Rights Examiner takes a look at some overt ignorance and closed-mindedness on the part of the editor of a certain publication. Take a look.
The Rustmeister has the quote of the day on John McCain. Couldn't have said it better myself!
Live from the Upper Texas Gulf Coast makes an excellent point about how we frame the argument concerning limiting the federal government. The term 'states rights' has a terribly negative connotation.

A Rank Stench Emanating from the White House
If you have gotten a whiff of the putrid smell of something foul coming from the direction of Washington, DC, it is likely to be from the White House.
Obama's latest actions compromise the security of the country, label opponents as 'supporters of torture,' and aid and abet America's enemies all over the world.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/27/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Mike McCarville discusses the online petition to defend the Second Amendment, as submitted by U.S. Representative Tom Cole, R-OK.
Mike's Gadfly on the Wall chronicles some interesting personal history. He's had quite a career in politics and the news business.
Kurt Hofmann opines on 'gun-free zones' and a politician who can't make up his mind about them.
David Codrea has another example of how 'effective' the gun bans are on college campuses.
Western Rifle Shooters Association presents an article on the 'practical politics' of a presumed plague.
Mike Vanderboegh provides an interesting read on the new strain of swine flu that's making its rounds.
Billy Beck points to an article that asks a vital question--is TARP a criminal enterprise?
Meeting on the Green posts vital reading today entitled, 'President Obama Continues Assault on the Second Amendment.'
From Roberta X: 'Training, Shooting, Nitwits.'
Free in Idaho comments on Obama's first 100 days in office, and a sub-title could well be, 'NOW look who's laughing!'
Every Blade of Grass takes a new look at the 23rd Psalm from the lens of these Obama-days.
From John Jacob H: 'Involuntary Servitude--An American Tradition?'
CarteachO has some cool photos from a high-powered rifle match.
Not to be outdone, Nicki has some neat photos from her shooting range stuff over the weekend.
Pax Parabellum reports that an elected representative is going to press charges against a citizen who sent her a tea bag.
JR posts a must-see entitled, 'Symbols.'
From Traction Control: "How the Associated Press Defines 'Assault Rifle.'"
Conservative Libertarian Outpost reports the news that Obama is still the Number One gun salesman as gun and ammo sales continue to soar through the roof! Americans are arming to the hilt for one reason--Barack Obama's threat.
Texas Fred announces that his home town is going to have one big mega-Tea Party on July 4.
Walls of the City has today's MUST-read that shows us that the numbers tell the story. Read it all.

Tam lays it on the line with a good dose of reality with her 'quote of the day.'
Ride Fast and Shoot Straight informs us that the NRA is considered a non-government organization at the U.N. and comments that it's important to have them there to keep an eye on the shenanigans coming out of the United Nations.
Robb Allen makes an excellent point about the futility of banning guns.
Sebastian says that the local media did a piss-poor job at covering a Ted Nugent event in Pennsylvania.
Say Uncle notes that Rush Limbaugh is now a big supporter of the Humane Society, which is anti-hunting. As one who knows a bit of the background of this, I believe Rush got sucked into this because of his beloved cat. But I am willing to bet I love dogs more than Rush loves his cat, and I am certainly not going to align myself with a group like the Humane Society because of it. There are better ways to support the care and treatment of pets.

Feinstein's Non-Ethics
When it comes to ethics in the manner in which she conducts herself as a U.S. Senator, Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, has none.
Remember that this is the woman who admitted that she carries a handgun for protection, although she would deny that right to tens of millions of Americans. And this is the woman, who, as the ranking member of a Senate panel that awards government contracts on behalf of the military, made sure that multi-millions of dollars of government contracts were funneled to her husband's business.
Now, it seems, the Senator is at it again:
Of oourse, never once has the ethically-challenged Senator been investigated by the Senate for corruption. Since 2006 her cronies have controlled Congress.
Remember that this is the woman who admitted that she carries a handgun for protection, although she would deny that right to tens of millions of Americans. And this is the woman, who, as the ranking member of a Senate panel that awards government contracts on behalf of the military, made sure that multi-millions of dollars of government contracts were funneled to her husband's business.
Now, it seems, the Senator is at it again:
On the day the new Congress convened this year, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband's real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.
Mrs. Feinstein's intervention on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was unusual: the California Democrat isn't a member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs with jurisdiction over FDIC; and the agency is supposed to operate from money it raises from bank-paid insurance payments - not direct federal dollars.
Of oourse, never once has the ethically-challenged Senator been investigated by the Senate for corruption. Since 2006 her cronies have controlled Congress.
"There Will Be Blood"
Harvard author and financial crisis guru Niall Ferguson has landed with a thud in Ottawa, spreading messages that could make even the most confident policy makers squirm.
The global crisis is far from over, has only just begun, and Canada is no exception, Mr. Ferguson said in an interview before delivering a presentation to public-policy think tank, Canada 2020.
Policy makers and forecasters who see a recovery next year are probably lying to boost public confidence, he said. And the crisis will eventually provoke political conflict, albeit not on the scale of a world war, but violent all the same.
“There will be blood.”
The entire article, published in the Globe and Mail, takes a rather grim approach to the chances of economic recovery this year, contrary to the rhetoric of late by Barack Obama and some government economists.
With GM on the brink of bankruptcy and shutting down most of its factories for the summer, and with Chrysler definitely headed to bankruptcy, Ferguson's prediction seems to hold merit.

"The End of the World as We Know It"
Obama's first 100 days in office have signaled the end of the 'era of American exceptionalism.' No longer is America as a concept or as a nation viewed as any more special than, say, Castro's Cuba or Chavez's Venezuela.
This dangerous vacuum of American leadership is discussed in my column today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Give it a read, and pass it along. Thanks!

Second Amendment News Roundup for 4/24/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Nicki cactus-jacks a 'gentlelady from Florida who is a hypocritical sow.' Take a look!
Days of our Trailers comments on Obama's new national youth service act, and he disagrees with my assessment that the bill forbids opposition. I will grant that the intention is to prevent participating organizations from opposing this law or organizing protests, but it just added hundreds of new organizations that are forbidden from exercising their rights. Maybe just a matter of semantics, but I still see this as an assault on our liberties.
Conservative Libertarian Outpost posts a statement from the NRA stating that Americans don't need the NRA to tell them Obama is a danger to their liberties...the citizens are telling that to the NRA!
CNS News is reporting that the Defense department is reversing its ammo directive due to public outcry.
From Mike Vanderboegh: 'Leave Us the Hell Alone or We Shall Not Leave You Alone This Side of Hell.'
Mindful Musings alerts us to a new knife company the owner of which is a big supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
Standing By has a good read entitled, 'Profiling the Left in America.'
Way Up North updates us on Alaska's actions concerning the 10th Amendment and state sovereignty.
Western Rifle Shooters Association explains how socialists attempt to rescue socialism from failure. A most interesting read!
Texas Fred says that San Fran Nan is lying again and calls her out on her claim she 'knew nothing' about waterboarding after 9/11.
Walls of the City updates us on the story concerning Napolitano's claim that the 9/11 terrorists 'came through Canada.'
The Rustmeister has important news on Netanyahu's assessment of Israeli relations, or the lack thereof, under Obama.
Insight on Freedom reports that Obama is set to sign the ominous 'Law of the Sea' treaty, which has been rejected by every President, both Republican and Democrat, since Ronald Reagan.
Mike McCarville posts a certificate that's suitable for framing. I want one, and I think you will too!
Armed Citizen provides a MUST-read entitled, 'Apologists.'
Alphecca has some good news from North Carolina concerning guns.
The Wandering Minstrel shares the quote of the day on guns from the greatest of all--President Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Traction Control points to essential reading concerning what Obama is pressuring the mainstream media to say about his first 100 days in office.
Sebastian informs us of some rather interesting pro-gun editorials of late. Take a look.
From Ride Fast and Shoot Straight: 'How Empires Fail.'
Codrea's Gun Rights Examiner describes a clear danger to gun owners everywhere in the present political climate.
Hofmann's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner alerts us to the fact that Oath Keepers would fit that idiot Napolitano's definition of 'right wing extremists.'
And now, for your Friday reading pleasure, An Ol' Broad's Ramblings presents the finest political cartoons on the Internet. These fall under the heading, 'Head Weasel.'

Bill Quietly Becomes Law That Forbids Opposition! (UPDATE)
Note: Scroll down for an important update!
Have you ever heard of legislation in the United States of America that forbids any opposition to it?
Well, we now have it, and it is the law of the land, courtesy of the thugs in the White House and Congress.
Read all about it in my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Thank-you.
Update notice! I went to the Thomas site and downloaded the entire bill from top to bottom so that I could examine it myself. Indeed, the amendment that prevented opposition was included in the final document as a provision to prevent employees in these agencies from engaging in partisan political activity while on the job. I stand corrected.

THIS POLL IS PATENTLY FALSE!
In a blatant attempt to snowball the American public into believing Obama has overwhelming public support for the direction he is taking the country, the AP issued a poll today that is patently FALSE--particularly in the manner in which it is portrayed.
Using Obama's personal approval rating of 64% as a supposed indication that Americans overwhelmingly support his policies, the AP poll failed to show his skyrocketing negative numbers.
In addition, they merely stated that 'a majority' of Americans agree with the direction the country is headed without providing the exact numbers and percentages.
A majority by how much? How many? What is the percentage?
One had to read down to almost the end of the article to discover the exact figures of this supposed 'majority.' And guess what? It's not a majority at all, but only 48 PERCENT!
Not even half of those polled agree with the direction Obama is taking the country, yet the AP reported it as a 'majority.'
Here is the article.
Want to see how Obama is REALLY doing with some accurate polling numbers? Try this!
Obama's negatives stand at 44%. But the real clincher is when you compare those who 'strongly approve' with those who 'strongly disapprove.' In that equation only 6 percentage points separate Obama's positive numbers from his negatives.
Hardly a resounding endorsement from the electorate!

From Codrea's Gun Rights Examiner: 'Don't Forget the DDTC/ITAR Threat to Guns. You Knew About It, Right?'
Brigid blesses us with great photography and commentary on the joys of hunting.
The Newbius Papers provides a MUST-read entitled, 'Treaties and Law.' Obama is signing away our national sovereignty, and apparently no one in government cares enough to stop him.
Say Uncle shows us a perfect reason, from personal experience, why the concealed carry database should be CLOSED to the public!
Western Rifle Shooters Association announces a mega-handgun training party at Front Sight coming up soon. Click the link for details.
Tam points to a handy Terrorist/Not a Terrorist chart, just in case you're having trouble telling them apart...
Pax Parabellum has a news story that may well point to something terribly amiss in the economy--something we may not yet know. The suicide of the CFO of FreddieMac may be an indication of even deeper corruption and economic disaster than any of us know.
Insight on Freedom provides essential reading entitled, 'Clean Energy is a Dirty Lie.'
Conservative Libertarian Outpost says that the firestorm of controversy over the DHS report on so-called 'right wing terrorists' is growing.
Days of our Trailers reports that the Leftwing 'League of Women Voters' (are they still around!!??) held an anti-gun 'forum' in Illinois.
Sebastian points to a controversy that erupted in Pennsylvania over the issue of Open Carry.
Speaking of open carry, OpenCarry.org is asking for volunteers in Wisconsin to help with the effort there.
Sipsy Street Irregulars has a MUST-read entitled, 'What Now?' Read it all.
Armed Citizen provides good reading today from none other than Chuck Norris.
From John Jacob H: 'Geese Are Evil and Need to Die!'

Free in Idaho has the quote of the day. Take a look!
By the way, what did YOU do for 'Earth Day' yesterday? Not being one to pass up a celebration, I lit up a few cigars, let the pickup truck run idle for over an hour, topped off my gas tank at the filling station, and turned the air conditioning up as high as it would go. I started to deliberately break one of those newfangled light bulbs that are supposedly enviro-friendly, but the gub'mint told me it was poison if you break one. So I took it outside and broke it. Hope the mercury from one of those safe, environment-friendly light bulbs didn't kill anybody.

By the way, what did YOU do for 'Earth Day' yesterday? Not being one to pass up a celebration, I lit up a few cigars, let the pickup truck run idle for over an hour, topped off my gas tank at the filling station, and turned the air conditioning up as high as it would go. I started to deliberately break one of those newfangled light bulbs that are supposedly enviro-friendly, but the gub'mint told me it was poison if you break one. So I took it outside and broke it. Hope the mercury from one of those safe, environment-friendly light bulbs didn't kill anybody.

Napolitano Ignites Yet Another Firestorm
As if it were not enough to issue a report that refers to most mainstream Americans as 'potential homegrown terrorists,' DHS Director Janet 'Veterans-Are-Terrorists' Napolitano has done it again.
This time her mouth has caused somewhat of an 'international incident.' Read all about it in my column today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Writing for the Examiner has been a life-saver of sorts for me in light of recent health issues and the accompanying expense. I am paid according to the number of people who read the column.

2A Musing has some ammo for sale!

A Cautious Approach to 2A Incorporation Ruling
While the ruling of the 9th Circuit Court is a major victory for gun rights activists, the ruling is limited. Much more needs to happen before the 2A is incorporated nationally.
And this is my topic today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Remember I still need you to click on the link, read the articles, and pass them along. This is very important.
And thanks a million for your help!

GUN ALERT! 9th Circuit Incorporates 2A!
The Second Amendment has been incorporated by a panel of the 9th Circuit Court, which is seen as a major victory for gun rights.
Eugene Volokh of The Volokh Conspiracy has the story.
But, as Volokh goes further to warn, this may not be the resounding victory gun rights advocates had hoped for. Gun shows lost out as Volokh cites here.
And then there is the broader issue as to whether or not The Second Amendment is incorporated against state and local governments, in spite of the panel's decision.
Volokh goes further to cite the actual wording of a concurring opinion on the panel, which further creates at least some doubt as to the consequences of the Panel's ruling.

RECESSION!
The current economic downturn has impacted different areas of the country in different ways.
But today's article at Columbia Conservative Examiner takes a look at how one Governor is holding steadfast against a federal government that wishes to mandate how funds are spent in his state.
It's a classic battle that pits a Governor against not only the Feds but his state legislature as well!
Take a look, and pass it along. Thank-you for your support!

Barefaced Lies About Current Unemployment Rate
The mainstream media is reporting that the latest unemployment figures have reached historic proportions, particularly in California, where the jobless rate stands at 11%, supposedly 'the highest ever.'
That statement is blatantly FALSE.
Read my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner to get the real story.
Here's a clue. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the unemployment rate went to 25% nationwide. So how can a jobless rate of 11% be deemed 'the highest ever?'
More mainstream media, partisan BULLssshhttt, that's how.

Why We Are Not Governed by Majority Rule
'Majority rule,' the simplest definition of 'democracy,' is actually dangerous!
It's a good thing we are not governed by majority rule in this country, although many citizens erroneously believe we are.

Thank-you in advance for clicking on my daily links to the columns I write at the Examiner. You have been very helpful, and I deeply appreciate your reading the articles and passing them along.

Napolitano 'Clarifies' But the Die is Cast
Despite Janet Napolitano's 'clarification' on Fox News that she didn't mean to target veterans in that libelous and slanderous report issued by Homeland Security, she actually did very little to assuage the fears of growing numbers of Americans that the Obama administration exhibits a distinct disdain for at least half the population.

ALERT! National Guard Told to Consider Tea Party Protesters 'Terrorists'
First, it was Missouri Law Enforcement.
Then, it was a Homeland Security document.
Now, we find that the Obama administration instructed the Maryland National Guard to consider Tea Party protesters as 'potential terrorists,' particularly those who carry copies of the U.S. Constitution!
The Obama administration even referred to the Constitution as 'political paraphernalia!'
My dear readers, I do not wish to engage in meaningless rabble-rousing or sensationalism. That would be counter-productive. But what I am witnessing is one of the most frightening attacks on American liberty we have seen since the days of the Revolutionary War.

CALL HOMELAND SECURITY TO PROTEST!
Let's bombard the Department of Homeland Security with phone calls of protest over the 'Right Wing Extremist' report they issued, where they disparaged, insulted, and labeled veterans, gun owners, Constitutionalists, pro-lifers, and small government advocates as 'potential terrorists.'
Click here for the DHS homepage where you can find all of the pertinent phone numbers.
Remember, it is important to be respectful, focused, brief, and to the point. A great deal of damage can be done by those who call the Department and rant.

All I Can Say Is...
...those who were expecting the Tea Party protests to flop today should have come to South Carolina! This relatively small state had multi-thousands to gather today for liberty.
More details a bit later...

Confirmed: ACORN Launches Attack on Tea Parties
Despite assurances to the contrary, ACORN has already launched its attack on the Tax Day Tea Party protests scheduled for today around the nation.
Greenville, South Carolina is GROUND ZERO for the first of these attacks, even before the events take place.
And this is the subject of my column today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

***SPECIAL LIBERTY ALERT***
This is a special Liberty Alert.
Barack Obama and his Department of Homeland Security have taken direct aim at the nation's conservatives in a scathing indictment of anyone who basically disagrees with the liberal agenda.
Under the guise of issuing an alert concerning 'rightwing terror groups,' DHS has in effect painted 70% of Americans as potential terrorists.
Be sure to carefully read this report provided by Michelle Malkin, which highlights the dangerous nature of this DHS report--which is a drastic departure from its past practices.
In addition, this special alert became the top-of-the-page headline on The Drudge Report today.
Further, Pamela Geller was one of the first to issue this alert when the story first broke over the weekend. Read it all.
My friends, Obama's war on the American people has begun. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Human Liberty Thrown Under the Bus
I hate to break it to you, but your friends, family, and co-workers who may be Socialist in their thinking are more than willing to sacrifice all of your rights--that's right, throw ALL of your liberties under the bus--in order to achieve their goals.
This is Communism-Socialism's dirty little secret.
And this is my topic of discussion today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
In order to get 'government mandated healthcare for all' and government-controlled endeavor previously handled by the private sector, they are more than willing to take your guns, free speech, and everything else.
I encourage you to click on the link above and read. And pass it along. Thanks!

Innocence Vindicated
Saturday was the 2nd anniversary of one of the most important days in the history of American jurisprudence. Corruption in government was condemned and punished, a lynch mob was put in its place, and innocence was vindicated and affirmed.
Our old friends at Liestoppers have the story and the proclamation by North Carolina Attorney-General Roy Cooper.
Take a look and let's celebrate this one major victory in an ongoing war against government corruption.

"Economics, Population, and Abortion"
Our guest blogger today is Rev. Kharma of Kharma Futures.This is a thought-provoking read that deserves your consideration.
Economics, Population, and Abortion
by Rev. Kharma
I have read many different articles over the last few years addressing economic trends. In the last year they have focused on the housing bubble and it’s relevance to our current economic crisis. Inflated housing prices spiraled out of control, and eventually collapsed which created a chain reaction throughout the economy of the US and the world. Often we are told that the economic problems we face will not settle out until the housing market rebounds. When we begin to buy houses again, at re-inflated prices the US economy will re-inflate and we will back at our old pace once more, spending money we don’t have.
This afternoon I opened my newest issue of First Things. It sat on my desk for several days, I have been apprehensive about reading it. The original editor and driving force, Fr. Richard Neuhaus died earlier this year. The journal has inspired and educated me for more than a decade since I read the first issue I encountered. His passing has made me wonder just who is capable of picking up the banner he so ably carried during his tenure.
In this issue there is an essay, dealing with economics and families. I have seen bits and pieces and hints about this, but Daniel Goldman had fleshed out and given life to the ideas as no one has ever done. He describes the theory that it is the distribution of young and old that has continued to refresh and renew our economy for generations. The young families have need of houses and all the accessories which would accompany that. The older members of our population have need of investment and growth of financial security. This has worked for generations, providing a continuous cycle of growth and expansion, opportunity and advantage for all concerned.
The demographics since the late 1960’s have begun to erode this model. Increasingly families are smaller, fewer children means fewer and smaller houses. As happens more and more often, there are single parent homes and homes with no children at all.
Make no mistake here, I am not, and never will criticize someone who has a small family, or even no children at all. Not everyone is cut out to raise a family.
The problem here is not the occasional small family or childless couple. The problem is a society that has devalued the family entirely. We have created a new ethos where having a family and raising children is not only removed from the primary role of a society, it is now frowned upon. Those who have a family are regarded as outlaws, and the green movement had demonized them. We are no longer sustaining our population. Societies are aging. We hear over and over that the US Social Security program will be bankrupt due to a lack of wage earners paying to support those receiving benefits. Virtually every Western nation is moving toward demographic extinction. In his article, Mr. Goldman displays a chart which shows the age of ‘Advanced Nations”. In 1965 the population aged older than 65 was approximately 10% of the general population. Those under age 4 made up about 8%. Projected for the year 2050, the trend shows a remarkable shift. Over aged 65 is projected to be more than 30%, while those under age 4 show less than 5%. Clearly this presents an unsustainable strain on the traditional economic cycle.
What is it that could account for this? Mr. Goldman’s article is not meant to address this.
However, as I read it a number kept presenting itself to my mind. I kept thinking of a number I have heard over and over. That number is in the range of 50 million.
That number is the estimated number of humans who would be current Americans had they not been aborted. Our culture of death has wiped out the hope of our generation.
All the economics lectures, and demographic analysis ever written cannot erase that fact. The Culture of Death that has enveloped our society has caused a devastating erosion to our ability to fund our own nation.
We can debate deficit spending, socialism, and capitalism, democrats and republicans in government, but we face a stark reality.
America is rapidly aging. We are aging as a nation because we have become essentially self-centered. The inconvenience of bearing and raising children has been alleviated by the simple answer of eliminating the children considered such a burden.
This is certainly one of a panoply of factors which include delaying marriage, reduced size of families, and many other fractured and altered family structures. However the fact remains, that had fifty million children not been murdered before they were born, we would be facing an entirely different demographic today. Perhaps individual wealth would not have grown so fast. Individual self fulfillment might not be such a sought after goal. We surely would not have a society which faces extinction simply because we are growing older and are not able to fund our expansion. One may debate the morality of the issue, and many do. The straight economics are simply numbers. We are dying, and we are not replacing our dying members. There are many ways to look at it, but there is simply no way to see it differently. We are paying the price of convenience. We are paying now for the elimination of a generation which we never permitted to exist.
The culture of death has created a wound in our society and the infection continues to weaken us. Combined with the unlimited demand for government payment for individual needs we are facing a bankrupt nation. America, we are paying for our choices, no matter if we decide to face it or ignore it.
We can look at so many of the dangers we face as a society and point back to the devaluation of live embodied by the abortion culture. The devaluation of life spreads and creates an ethos of total selfishness which infests and debases every aspect of our world today. The total self absorption, the movement toward the importance of the self and the instant gratification which has been exalted as the pinnacle of achievement all flow logically from the mindset which decides that one individuals life is more important than any other consideration. We are no longer looking toward self reliance, but rather to self preservation.
The nation which was formed with a minimal government to protect basic rights is now a nation which wants a strong government to provide everything at the expense of others. Instead of a generation willing to go to war to save the world, we have a generation which seems to want to beg the world to save them. Instead of raising children and providing for the future, we want to have the government raise and provide for us.
We have taken the dream of the founders and turned it on its ear. We have perverted the original republic and corrupted it to a democracy which feeds off its children instead of protecting them.
That cliff is getting closer and closer and the nation is sliding faster and faster into the abyss.
