Joseph’s Alabaster Box

America, the beautiful is not so beautiful anymore. Our alabaster cities are tear-stained now – indeed, blood stained. Our forefathers believed that people would be able to govern themselves – but they did not realize that people would become too busy to govern themselves. The little group in Philadelphia would have been shocked to know that the people would become so rich and comfortable that they would not bother to govern themselves. The power to vote is considered an act of futility by many people who just don’t bother. People are preoccupied with the pursuit of things, and things are available with a vengeance. Things are forced upon us in the secret retreat of our homes where we should have some relief from sales pitches. There was a time in the distant past when businesses would not invade people’s lives with sex and pills, or weight loss stuff, or cars, or whatever.

Sports has ceased to be a pleasant pass time for the working populace. Few people watch a football game while caring little who wins, or what the statistics are. In church, the Saints rarely talk about God’s influence in their life, they talk is of sports. People are identified by what team they support. No longer does Bob Burn’s cotter come home on Saturday night in clod-spotted overalls to enjoy his children, and read to them the blessed Word of God. Now the cotter comes home to hold his kids at arm’s length while he watches the evening news with all the trash that comes with it; with a hamburger and fries on his lap. Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock couldn’t have imagined a nation in which people went to work in two tons of iron and steel to tap keys of a keyboard.

Anybody who has taken history 101 knows that people who came to North America came for God. As a result, the land became the greatest nation in history, honoring the Word of God and sending missionaries all over the globe. People came to South America for gold. As a result the people have become third world people under the heel of a dusty old cockeyed religion and its indolent emissaries; steeped in superstition and ignorance. The roles soon reversed, and North America became a people with a lust for gold, and South America is turning to God. No longer is North America interested in the things that make for a good life: family, worship, work. We are a people manipulated by the few with money and power. Truth is out. Honesty is hunkered down trying to survive. Integrity was eradicated long ago. Mega thieves and liars sit in the board rooms trying to figure out new ways to gut the corporation, while the workers join together to take over the management and profits of the corporation.

Since Andrew Jackson our nation has been governed by people with a self-serving slant on politics. He said, “To the victor belong the spoils.” In so many words, if you win an election, you have a “mandate” from the people to steal everything you can get your hands on. The man America elected to head the nation now has stolen what little national integrity we had left.

It is not an outrageous assertion, as some will charge, to say that the president takes his place among the mass murderers of history: Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. This is a fact established by the fact that he has released American money to pay for abortions in other nations. In addition, he advocates increasing the rate of murder in this country. If people: doctors, scholars, ministers, thinking people, are right in saying that killing an unborn child is killing a human being, then it follows that the person guilty of killing a fetus is guilty of murder. The president has made this possible. He is a murderer. He is most likely not even an America citizen. He is certainly not saturated with American culture and eduction.

Mr. Truman said that a statesman was a dead politician. To which I would reply that a dead politician is a good politician. If the survival of the fittest is true, then the fittest better get cracking. The mass of people are exploited and herded around to suit the whims of those who have money and power. We are seen by them as money machines to make them richer. If we knew all that is going on in the world around us, we’d be afraid to go to bed.

The president was elected with the help of a great number of decent people, many Saints and other church people among them. He was elected by the great number of people who did not vote. Failure to vote is a vote no less that one cast into the count. Writing editorials taught me that a loyal democrat will vote with eyes closed. It matters not whether the candidate has any redeeming qualities. A loyal democrat who is also a church person is sinning when he votes for a democrat! Why? Because the democratic party supports abortion in a plank that every democrat must stand on: at least on the national level. Can America of 2009 be the same nation of 1989? How could we fall so rapidly?

We began the downfall by tearing the Constitution to shreds. We began the downfall by tearing the Bible to shreds. Now we are being governed by thieves and liars under the leadership of a man who is most likely not an American citizen. A man who does not understand the old American mind set. Our children will suffer the consequences even worse then we.

Like the world after the great Flood, America is no longer the wonderful place it was. It has been wrecked by greed, avarice, and neglect of our national heritage. We began by educating our children in Christian principles, and now we teach children that those principles are old fashioned, outmoded and wrong. America of the alabaster cities is no more. Her purple mountain majesties rise from the wreckage left by careless, selfish people. People who have rebelled again “nature’s God,” and declared themselves free from all responsibility to God and country. We deserve what we get.
