Instability Ahead

By Tammy Derouin

The people we encounter, the words that are spoken and events that take place all impact our lives.  I had such a reminder this past week.  I decided to take a Coke to a co-worker/friend I saw outside.  My first attempt to reach him was unsuccessful.  Something compelled me to try again.  I thought it’s just a Coke, why do I feel such determination to deliver something that wasn’t even requested?  I got my answer right after Buck thanked me.  He said, “It’s good to have friends.” 

Yes, it’s good to have friends, yet many times we take them for granted.  They will always be there, right?  There is responsibility in a friendship.  Sometimes you’re on the giving end and sometimes you’re on the receiving end.  If the friendship is strong you don’t even think of it in those terms, you do what you do because it’s the right thing to do.

Many things take place that are beyond our control.  When we have to trust others to make decisions, it’s easy to feel helpless especially when you begin to witness changes that are troubling.  When those in power make bad decisions, there will be consequences.  Buckle up, there’s instability ahead.

America had a very strong friendship with Israel prior to the Obama administration.  We are a Judo-Christian nation.  The roots of our law came from Judea.  Benjamin Franklin wanted the seal for the United States to depict Moses parting the Red Sea.  Israel’s deliverance from Egypt could have represented our deliverance from British tyranny.  Egypt was a land of oppression in history and in present day.  

We must know our history or we will lose it forever along with the freedoms we currently take for granted.  Those in power are determined to fundamentally change America.  Our history will be changed to suit their needs.  They are succeeding because we haven’t been vigilant.  We stopped teaching the how’s and why’s of our history. 

There were two examples that took place this past week.  The first was Oprah’s unbelievable comparison of Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till.  The second was Obama’s geographical mistake on Leno. We either don’t know the location of three ports or we’re too scared to correct the president.    

Some may feel the U.S. provided a great deal of assistance at a great cost to protect Israel from the evils of the world.  By standing with Israel we not only provided them with a greater sense of security, we also insured our own freedom.  Obama is friends with those who wish to destroy Israel and the U.S.  He openly consorts with the enemy of both our lands.  By betraying Israel, Obama has betrayed the United States.

When things go badly at the top, all you have to do is look down to see where the problems began.  Once you begin to build with questionable material your structure is dated.  It’s only a matter of time before it crumples. We’ve been sending questionable material to D.C. for too many years.

Progressives follow a pattern.  Once you’re familiar with the way they operate, it’s easy to spot them in all walks of life.  Progressives change words as the times dictate but the meaning is the same.  They paint a pretty picture to hide the truth.  They capitalize on mistakes or missteps made by subordinates.  The information is stored and then used to their advantage.  They nudge people in a direction they probably wouldn’t have willingly chosen.  Through an iron fist their will is implemented.  They also put “fall guys” in place.  If their plan doesn’t work or a more nefarious reason for their action is discovered, it isn’t their fault.  They had no idea such unbelievable activity was taking place.  They also have an unhealthy desire to be informed about everything despite pleading ignorance.  This leads to devious activity which includes spying.  It was progressives that named themselves the “Shadow Party.” 

Progressives want to rule from the top down.  America was designed to be governed from the bottom up.  The people send representation from the smallest town government all the way to the President of the United States.  As our morals and values have decayed, so has our representation.  You get what you pay for when you use inferior material.  You get what we’ve got when a society loses its integrity.

Our foundation is badly damaged but still repairable. The Golden Rule provides an excellent standard to follow.  By doing so, we build stronger relationships, friendships. What possible reason would you have to betray such a friendship?  The stronger the foundation the better our representation will be from the bottom all the way to the top. 

When will enough people realize that the one they put in charge has only made things worse?  We will suffer a great loss.
