The Destruction of America

By Tammy Derouin

There’s a bumper sticker that has grabbed my attention.  I’ve seen if from time to time but this past week I was behind it on several occasions.  It simply says COEXIST.  The symbols of the major world religions spell out the word.  This bumper sticker is usually on the same type of car, an older foreign vehicle that has several other throw back messages.  The back side of the vehicle wouldn’t be complete without the peace sign.

What’s wrong with the peace sign?  In theory, nothing’s wrong with wanting peace.  World peace would be wonderful except that it comes with a hefty utopian, progressive price tag.  The peace sign is not welcomed in my home, not on clothing, not on anything.  I have returned clothing when a covert peace sign was spotted after the purchase.  I don’t have a problem with peace; it certainly beats war and unrest.  My problem stems from the movements that have put the peace sign on the map.  The radicals of yesterday, who used “peace” as a way to promote their agenda are the progressive radicals that are in power today.  They use the word peace but their actions cause turmoil.  Progressives use this symbol so therefore I want nothing to do with it.  Their idea of peace comes at the expense of our freedoms.

It doesn’t surprise me that the peace sign goes hand in hand with the COEXIST bumper sticker way of thinking.  Once again, it would be wonderful if we could all just get along, but we can’t.  Our individualism is what makes life so interesting.  We have different beliefs and values.  Because we are different we will disagree.  In a civil society we may disagree but for the most part we are capable of accepting each other’s differences.  When our differences become more than polite disagreement or when one group of people wants to control another group, that’s when problems arise. 

The progressives have a dream.  They want everything to be perfect.  But what’s perfect?  Whose idea of perfect do they want to follow?  Why do they feel they have to push their wants and desires on the rest of us?  Humans have uniquely different individual characteristics.  We don’t fit into the same mold.  The progressives have a mold.  They want everybody to fit into their little world.  If you don’t go willingly they will regulate, mandate and intimidate to meet their objective.

A world without war, hunger, disease or disasters of any kind does not exist.   Well it did, “In the beginning God…”  Leave it to man to mess it up.  Man is far from perfect so it stands to reason that a utopia built by man, for man will be less than perfect.  Man was meant to live free.  Any attempts to control or remove freedoms are usually short lived.  The progressives refuse to learn from history.  They have mastered the whole, if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.  

It is difficult to coexist among others that don’t share your beliefs and values.  It doesn’t mean that we automatically dislike those who have different beliefs.  It just means that life can become difficult at times.  We can usually get past the small things and figure out ways to get along.  When the issues become detrimental to our way of life or to our very existence, the whole “coexist” becomes a problem.

It’s admirable to think we can coexist on a religious level.  We can’t coexist or live in peace when one religion wants another to be eradicated.  The Muslim Brotherhood has called for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.  This isn’t a secret.  Clerics have been filmed calling for Jihad on Israel and those who support them.  That’s us America!  Many Americans, regardless of our current political tragedies, still stand with Israel.  The Obama administration no longer supports Israel.  Oddly, that hasn’t stopped Muslim clerics for calling for the destruction of America.    

Our president, who took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, has invited the enemy into our country, our government and our White House.  Americans voted for their own demise.  Our president doesn’t like America.  His actions and his words have proven this over and over again. 

If Islam is allowed to eradicate anyone who doesn’t share their beliefs, which by the way is their goal, only Islam will exist.  Once we have been conquered and forced into their mold, there is no need to coexist.   

America used to be the protector.  We use to defend those who were oppressed.   Now we throw them to the wolves.  We use to fight against tyranny, now we embrace it.  

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

President Barack Obama
