Enemies of The Ununited State

The article previously shared was Buy Your Gas at Citgo: Join the BUY-cott! Thanks for the update. I read the Citgo email and further researched it to find that Congress was discussing this matter in February 2006.

Though I didn't know Citgo was the distribution arm for Venezulan oil, I'm not surprised by it. I am aware of Chavez of Venezula and his presidency (dictatorship). One of the first things tyrants do when they take over a country is to nationalize the resourses. His relationships with Fidel Castro as well as Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinemad is well documented. Their idealogies, though different, are of basic fundamentalism morphed with facism to become their synthesis of the day in this connected world we live in. Yes they are ememies of democracy, avowed to destroy us. We are right to be aware of our enemies and the means of financing their causes. But we should not fear them or their avowed actions. Fear allows ignorance to rule.

A more succinct threat to our democracy and way of life is the current "trodding on our US Constitution" by our current Administration in the Whitehouse. President Bush is being led by tyranist of their own making and for their own greedy purposes, under the guises of national security. And the American people are buying it because they are allowing the ignorance of fear to rule. This administration is not the first to make this intrusion, nor will they be the last. The intrusions are not limited to Party affiliation. But when they are sanctioned by The Party, then that Party must be held accountable.

I suggest, we as citizens should become more active in the elective process and become more knowledgeable of the freedoms we hold sacred. We must exercise our voting rights to send a message of our dissatisfaction with the direction our country is being led by its elected officials. We are TRUE PATRIOTS when we call to action our citizens. AWAKEN NOW! Tennessee Waltz? Let's have a Washington Waltz! Should we fail to act to abate the constitutional erosion taking place, "the levies will surely break" and we will become wards of the morass called "the ununited state of america." Therein will our enemies have been allowed to win, not through our physical demise but through the death of our freedoms and ideology of The American Way - FREE THINKING.

Liberty is the target of our enemies, whether they are outside our borders or inside them. Truly, "barbarians are already inside the gates. Let's get them out, whether they call themselves Republicans, Democrats, conservative, liberal, left or right. We The People are the guardians of Liberty. The true lynchpin to our demise will surely be the ambivalent attitudes of our citizenry.

Please pardon the intrusion of this email by becoming a resounding voice of democracy for ourselves and our children's future. If you are so inspirted, share this email with others without alteration or, "just ruminating it will elevate your own consciousness by avoiding ossification."

We can have a world where as Colin Powell said to President Reagan in a national security presidential briefing, "the world is quiet today, Mr. President."

“Democracies depend more on moral ideas than non-democratic societies do, because they depend on the free choices of their citizens. For their very survival, they must shape ordinary people into an extraordinary moral force.” - Irving Kristol
