What If They Gave an American Convention and Everybody Came?


Nobody’s Opinion:

“It must be understood that a prince…cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state.”
- Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)

A CALL TO ARMS:
That was the name of my first post, on March 13, 2006. President George W. Bush had just called for the American people to support his advice that all our ports to be sold to Dubai. On the same day his nephew, Pierce Bush, made the remark in a national TV interview that he thought Americans were racists.

The American people were so appalled by the Dubai deal that there was a tremendous outcry and the whole subject went underground. Just the thought that our President would call for us to sell our national security out to a country from whence some of the 9/11 highjackers had come from seemed beyond incredible. To many of us, it was the equivalent historically speaking, of FDR suggesting to the American people that we should sell our ports to the Japanese after Pearl Harbor.

Although it was never uttered, too many of us felt our President had cried uncle, and had surrendered to the enemy. Why?

And now it seems we are on the verge of “electing” a President with the name of his father, who was named after Saddam Hussein. Could this be any stranger?

What’s next…a Mosque in front of the White House?

If there is one thing that America can do, it can sell you anything. From jeans, to beer, to Viagra, to communism…and our politicians hire the best advertizing agencies in the land. Obama has hired four, just for a start. And they have done a fantastic job. The name ‘Obama’ sounds as good as a hot Oatmeal cookie right out of the oven.

And that lovely word we keep hearing---‘globalism.’ It sounds so harmless, doesn’t it?
Globalism now is being expanded. It’s the “idea” that the American people should hand over their lives and fortunes for the good of the world, and even feel good about it. We have been programmed, and make no mistake that’s what they are doing…to believe we are the big, fat, oil guzzling, greedy, stupid American people destroying the Earth.

Obama, the Clintons, the Bushes--- have all been selling us this concept for years. Now we are all “citizens of the world” as Obama reminded us last week in Berlin.

This propaganda has been going on for far too long.

Just last night I was listening to the wonderful Ann Coulter who suggests we all get drunk and go vote for John McCain. I suppose you could call this an act of mercy, but because many of us don’t drink, we’ll probably just stay home.

But please---is this any way for an American to think? To some of us it sounds like surrender. Sorry Ann. Is it American to shrug and give in, just because it’s pragmatic?

From this little hill in Missouri, and across the land: Democrats, Republicans, and Independents---the whole country (according to all polls) thinks little of our President and even less of the Congress. Another election is not going to make much difference. Obama is only going to send us into our final demise.

It’s time for a change alright.

Remember the saying “What if they gave a war and nobody came?”

Well--what if we gave an American convention and EVERYBODY came. Picture this; Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, Mark Levine, Dr. Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Joseph Farrah---just to start. More importantly, invite regular Americans, like guys who have lost their jobs and have great ideas, men with new ideas: men and women from all over. Scholars, authors, creative political minds.

Then hire advertisers to sell the concept: “A Government of the People” because lately the concept is pretty much just given lip service.

"We The People" have the right to peaceful assembly. And guess what-- we have a right to start over.

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it and to institute new Government
Thomas Jefferson-Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitled them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Thomas Jefferson-Declaration of Independence

Right now, we are being held hostage by Saudi Arabia, China, and our own entrenched powerful politicians who act like simple pawns to invisible strings. They will once again…do nothing. So, what are they doing…preserving the state?

Unless we have nukes planted ready to go off in every city, and that’s why they do nothing, the only state they are preserving is their own power.

The real question is: Just when will we stand up for ourselves? And will it be too late?

We need action. Someone please---take the first step.
