It has been 10 years since writing this and under trump we're in serious trouble.
Recap
Watching the purposeful destruction, sale and giving away of America by Bush. Seeing the frustration expressed daily right here by all of us. you know we have to stop all this bullshit,particularly in the Government.It is very debilitating to we the people though the Politicians don't care. It is imperative that we get back to the real meaning of the Constitution, care about every individual, and do the right thing for society. We continue to appear to be incapable of doing that. Not the meaning of the Constitution as any one selfish party wants to interpret it anew for their own selfish need.
We can no longer expect people to be honest or do the right thing once they become a member of a society as was expected during our founding. This belief that all men were created equal, equal that is in that they would all do the right thing once in society is no longer the case. This is what Thomas Jefferson meant and we continue to read it and interpret it the way we want and not the way it was intended.
It was this belief that was the driving force behind the drafting of the Constitution. Today it is continuing to be bent and twisted to fit the needs of selfish self interest. Our laws for the innocent and the just have now become the laws for the guilty and unjust. We, sadly enough see this portrayed on an all day daily basis. We have got to realize what we are doing to our good people, our decency as a Nation, our present, and our future.
We must learn as a Nation to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk which is not currently being done. We must learn as a Nation to accept the repercussions of our actions, not to ignore them as we currently do saving the problems for future generations. We must learn to take them into account before we jump not after. We must hold ourselves accountable to society, not our self interests. Our future as a country and a world depends on it.
We have facing us today in our country our biggest challenges ever. We are the problem it is us as a whole. Desire for financial gain has replaced doing the right thing as the driving force of society. We are making a mess of America and we can not go on this way. You will see that we are denigrating our Governmental and societal systems and our society. It is part of the Doctrine of Destruction that is in the dictionary and Bush is in fact following in order to change our society and create a new world order. We are in more turmoil right now than when we first wrote about this 4 years ago and it is increasingly debilitating as we watch Bush rush to alter our countries superstructure while he can. The abuse of our moral base on all levels of society must stop. We must get involved with our Government in order to ensure its proper operation. We are not being taken care of. We are being taken to the cleaners.
It is more important than ever that we get involved. We have seen first hand that everyone has their own selfish agenda and no one or nothing is sacred. We must get involved in order to ensure honesty and to ensure that the right thing is done. Not the right thing for you but the right thing for our society. Terrorism as we said 4 years ago is the least of our worries. Of course you will never hear this from the ruling parties and we don't. They want attention diverted from the real problems and their corruptive ineptitude. We must for the sake of our society’s future wake up. For the benefit of our country and our world clean up our collective moral abuse.
Our ruling “Aristocracy”, Government, Social, and business leaders, are failing us miserably. They are all as you know part of the problem in America not part of the solution.This is happening at a very critical time. All the good and bad in our systems are being showcased, illuminated. Now that there proper operation is critical to all of us and it is painfully obvious that we are coming up short. All that we see in our leaders does not speak well for them or their misdirection. It is a dark tunnel we are in indeed. We can not see any light in or at the end of the tunnel.
We are still waiting to see our shining light of hope. We are still waiting for a leader who can
do the right thing for "we the people" Not for “We the rich”. We in the trenches of American society know that he or she is out there. We are still waiting for them to step forward and save the day, to do the right thing. We will save it but a little leadership would be nice. Looking at the last weeks news it was so blatantly horrific and purposely destructive to the country and occured so rapidly that I hope you forgive me but I didn't have the room for all the links and I'm sure you have already heard enough.We know that every action begets a reaction and we have shown a propensity to ignore or not realize this and continue to play games.
With that said, that applies to everyone in the government except for Bush who is getting just the reaction he wants. we for some reason are giving him everything he wants to destroy our Democratic America. I for one can't take much more of it and I see daily that I have good company. All he ignorantly cares about is following the Doctrine Of Destruction and getting his way in changing our country and creating a new world order. We better come together and stop him befor it is too late and there is not time for procrastinating any longer.

Lessons of Bush and the past unheeded as increasing numbers want Separation of Church and state Erased!
Lessons of Bush and the past unheeded as increasing numbers want Separation of Church and state Erased saying it never existed nor was it intended too. I would like your thoughts on this. It is very convoluted!
It is unbelievable to me too hear that the nightmare Bush has created with his purposeful infusion of his perverted Religion into our Government is not noticed by and even wanted an ever increasing number of Americans and they do not see the tremendous damage Bush and past Presidents that did this have done to the Constitution and to America. Increasing numbers are calling for the removal of Separation of Church and State and hoping to see a return to good sense I am amazed to see this happening as I expected and want just the opposite.
We cannot let this happen. It will complete the downfall of "our America" and seal the nightmare Bush is creating in his new America. Remember this and then the following cries for the removal of Separation of church and State will be put in context and be more disturbing. We cannot let this happen.
We all know of Bush's abuse and misuse of Religion in his misadministration. The president's infusion of Christian fundamentalism is destroying America as we know it. Unbridled religiosity is the most dangerous weapon in the world, whether it's Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. It does not matter.
The president likes to talk about the Islamists hijacking their religion and Islam. He has done the same thing to Christianity and America! They are playing the same game! My only concern is for truth, honesty, justice, and the American way and we do not get any of it from this administration. It has struck me why as I read a story about Richard Nixon's abuse of Religion for his political gain as Bush is fond of doing. I can't believe people can want more of either of those terrible examples.
With Bush we have unbridled, perverted, abused, misused, Religiosity being pushed by Bush and his warped sense of Christian fundamentalism and corrupt democracy just for his own political gain. The worse part is that Bush has hijacked Christianity and America and is in control of the (for now), most powerful country on the planet.
I thought this was very unique to George W. and very distasteful indeed! In light of the fact that Ford set a powerful example with his own Presidency insisting on keeping his Religion to himself and believing in separation of Church and State I did not understand Bush's perversion of Christianity only for political gain. We can never know the real story about a President's faith. We only know what he does—or refuses to do—in God's name.
Voters were unwilling to forgive Gerald Ford for his great act of forgiveness the unconditional pardon of Richard Nixon and I was one of them, thinking it was purely political. But there was another side to the pardon, the presidency and the 1976 campaign that received much less attention, in part because Ford wanted it that way. The contest between Ford and Jimmy Carter was a battle between two born-again Christians—but only one was willing to run as one. I never really realized that about Ford and that is as it should be. A truly strong man keeps his Religious beliefs to himself.
One of his first acts as President was some spiritual housecleaning. Among the more ingeniously cynical inventions of the Nixon Administration was the much publicized White House Church Service, which in addition to providing genuine fellowship for those so inclined, was a prime tool for image building, fund raising, arm twisting and deal making for the President's men. http://www.time.com/...
It appalls me that Bush had such a fine example of how to conduct himself and separation of church and State in President Ford and he opted instead to follow the example of Nixon's failed misadministration did only for their political gain. Knowing that Cheney was in that mess too and that many of us believe Cheney is behind this misadministration I find it telling that once again Religion has been perverted and misused for political gain. Is Cheney the common nut behind the wheel?
Anyway I find it very disturbing that knowing the problems of blurring or erasing the line of separation between Church and State, there is a growing number calling for Christianity not influencing as is fine but running America and want it removed altogether saying it is wrong and never existed.
On Anderson Cooper last night they said that In the beginning, there was a wall, a mighty barrier built by the founding fathers to separate church and state, block one from meddling in the affairs of the other. In school, we are taught that's what makes our country special. But what if that wall never existed? What if it's a myth conjured up in our lifetime to mask a greater truth, that America was conceived as a Christian nation?
It was! When I was researching for a book I ran into the statement Ronald Reagan used once in referencing America as the shining City on a hill. I found it when researching the morality influencing America at the time of our founding. It was a reference to our Christian roots and that America was designed so when God had his return he would feel right at home in the United States.
I understand we swear on a Bible in court, etc., and that In God we trust is not only on our money as I feel it should be but that thought heavily influences us but that should not mean that our country should be run by Christian beliefs or that it ever was. If I remember correctly it was the Calvinist's and born again Christians that did indeed influence our founding but I never thought Christian beliefs blatantly and overtly ran our country. Any Religion's positive influence is fine but not its open advocating to solely govern America. We must keep Religion separate for what seems to me to be very obvious reasons not just her but look at Iraq and middle east countries.
The arguments I kept reading over and over got more confusing every time I looked at them. There are some powerful arguments on both sides of this issue. Myself I believe Thomas Jefferson's interpretation of Separation of Church and State. I do though recommend you too give a quick look at the growing effort to say it never existed and to return "God" to running America. I would like to hear what you think once you read the strong argument made on Anderson Cooper.
