This column is the subject of a book I am working to finish, as justice to this topic cannot be done in a single column, or even a short series of columns.
But it is such a pressing matter at this moment in American history that I didn’t want to wait for book publication to address the very real threat to freedom inherent with the death of uniquely American principles and values.
“The American” is officially on the list of endangered species today, and unless we do something to save this vital species quickly, freedom will exist nowhere on earth. Doubt this statement for even a second, at your own peril!
After 232 years of unparalleled freedom, liberty and prosperity, the United States of America is on the brink of collapse. Yes, in part due to evil political forces who long ago sold their souls for an ounce of wealth and power, pushing the nation into a corner to further their quest for even more power—but to a larger degree, due to the decline of the American spirit from sea to shining sea.
The land of the free and home of the brave is now controlled by the entitlement generation. That magical generation that comes along in every free society, once the people at large have forgotten the price and value of individual freedom.
Once the people have been trained to despise that which we all once held in common, the love of freedom and liberty, and focus all attention upon that which divides, our racial, religious, sexual and economic “diversity,” placing that which divides us above that which once united us, the nation cannot stand!
Class envy becomes the driving force in all political decisions. Deep seated division and dissention rule the day and people look to take that which they feel entitled to, from those who used their freedom to “earn.”
To be sure, we currently have the most corrupt anti-American government in the history of the United States. But what bothers me more is how we got here, and how the decline of “Americanism” is likely to make matters much worse, before things can get any better.
At the end of the day, the American people get the government they vote for, and today too many Americans are voting for a government that promises “free stuff” in place of “freedom.” There is no running from this reality.
As is the purpose of a good vacation, I had the opportunity to leave the phone, email and news behind and spend a few days in the sun and surf with my family. It gave me an opportunity to clear the cobwebs. It also provided an unexpected but interesting lesson which I want to share with readers.
Years ago, you couldn’t get a half a mile off shore in the Gulf of Mexico without having a family of dolphin swim up beside the boat and almost leap into the boat and pop a top with ya. This time, the dolphin wouldn’t come within twenty feet of the boat, and I couldn’t help but wonder what had changed.
In talking with a local area boat captain later that evening, I learned that the local government had outlawed feeding dolphin some years earlier, instituting a $10,000 fine if you are caught feeding dolphin even once.
We have never fed the dolphin in the first place, but apparently, many others had and over time, the dolphin had become too friendly with boaters, too dependent upon meals from vacationers and eventually, an endangered species in the Gulf as the dolphin either died from a boat prop, or had lost the ability to feed themselves after snow birds returned home up north.
The only way to save the dolphin was to outlaw the feeding of dolphin, so that these beautiful mammals could regain their ability to survive in the wild.
And then it hit me, how odd that we were able to figure out the damage done to dolphins by making them dependent upon “free food” – but could not make the same judgment in light of the life long damage done to entire generations of human beings, by the same mistakes that had cost dolphins and many other species their very lives, to the point of extinction in some cases.
I began to wonder why we were intelligent enough to recognize the dangers involved in free-feeding dolphins, but not see the same dangers involved in free-feeding human beings, creating the same kind of dependencies that put many other species on the endangered list.
Then I realized – if dolphins could vote, it would still be legal to feed them…
Welfare is not an act of personal generosity. It is a political strategy for gaining and holding power.
Charity requires the consent of the giver, without which, it’s tyranny, not charity.
Today’s “left” (the current cabal running Washington DC) is only generous with the earnings and assets of others. How many times do we have to see the embarrassing charitable donations, or lack thereof, in people who preach about welfare the most?
Barack Obama and Joe Biden have the worst history of personal charitable giving of any two men to ever enter the White House, yet they are the most “welfare” minded individuals in US history. Though they have a dismal record of giving personally, they demand that all others make sacrifices for the “needy,” which they have never made individually.
As I have said before, welfare is not an act of charity or generosity. It is an act of tyranny against America’s most productive, and a political strategy aimed at empowering people like Obama and Biden, not average citizens.
If dolphins could vote, we would be encouraged to feed them in order to gain their political support, and in the end, their political dependency upon those who promise to feed them forever.
But since dolphins can’t vote, we can’t free-feed them.
Since government dependents make perfect Democrat voters, we must continue to feed them even though the result is an entire generation of entitled dependents increasingly unable to feed themselves in the wild.
The end result is a dying breed in the land of the free and home of the brave. “The American” is officially on the endangered species list as a species no longer as interested in personal freedom as socio-economic equality – A growing number of Americans who have been trained by their feeders to feel entitled to the spoils of others who have toiled and sacrificed for the natural fruits of their labor.
So long as American citizens continue to choose the life of a parasite, free-feeding upon the benefits earned by others, they will continue to vote their feeders into power. For a time, this will seem a fantastic victory for the “have-nots” until the atrophy of individual survival skills sets in, and the “haves” opt out, leaving the feeding trough empty.
What happens next will shock many Americans. When those who have been trained not to feed themselves are no longer being fed by others, they will first turn to violence, and then, begin to die completely ill-prepared to survive on their own.
What has been done to this generation of American citizens, all in an evil political strategy aimed at empowering the political elite while enslaving both “haves” and “have-nots,” is nothing short of criminal.
If there is a $10,000 fine for free-feeding dolphin, there should be mandatory life imprisonment for those who insist upon free-feeding human beings. Destroying the life of a dolphin is bad enough, but doing even worse to human beings is unforgivable.
In the end, nobody will react more violently than those who were so easily fooled by the promise of free-stuff. None will be more aggressive in their demands for access to the earnings of others. – None will pay a greater price for the disaster they created either!

Well said, Sir. You are exactly Right!
From Naval Aviator, Commander Jerry Wilson
We lived in California during the winters of 2007 and 2008. We became addicted to Fox News and watched O'Reilly and Hannity and Colmes every night. When we got back home, we upgraded our cable to get Fox. I watched the Presidential campaign very closely. Initially because I thought the Democrats would nominate Hillary Clinton and then in astonishment when they chose an even more hard-left candidate. All of last year I told everyone I could that Obama was not a Democrat, he was a Marxist. He is far to the left of any European leader and even our far left party, the NDP.
I read Saul Alinsky when I was in University. I studied him and his writing carefully. When Bill Ayers and his idiot wife were bombing and killing people at random in the Weather Underground, Weather Underground and the Black Panthers were closely allied. I read David Horowitz's account of changing from a Marxist to a conservative after seeing that the government was afraid to prosecute members of the Panthers for murdering his personal assistant. He suddenly understood the evil that Marxism really was.
After the student radicals failed in creating a Marxist revolution in the United States by violent means, they embraced Alinsky. You would be wise to read " Rules for Radicals " because it outlines how Hillary and Obama planned to get into power, and what they intended to do when they got it..Socialism is not the correct descriptor for what Obama and the Democrats are doing. They are going to be much more far reaching than anything Sweden has ever been able to do. Obama is following Alinsky's plans, those set out in "Rules for Radicals" and his other writing. The Democrats are attempting to create one party rule in the U.S. and in achieving that, will create crisis after crisis by their own actions and use those crisis to nationalize the means of production in the U.S.
You are in the middle of a communist revolution and few in the U.S. can actually see it for what it truly is.
The U.S. is now on the path of financial destruction. The Constitution has been shredded and individual human rights are being trampled. In less than 8 months. Obama has used a recession to take over the two largest industries in the U.S. He will debase the Dollar and is on the road to creating an incredible energy shortage that will allow him and Congress to take over the energy industry.
But by and large I think that by the 2010 elections, the Democrats will have gerrymandered electoral districts to the point that it will be impossible for them to lose control of both houses of Congress. The incredible increase in the money supply is going to create Zimbabwe and Venezuela style inflation, and with it, controls on the currency and the amount of money that can be taken out of the country.
I love America, I cannot believe how the ignorance of the American public has created a situation whereby they are going to lose their Republic and slip into an age of repression and tyranny.
I may be nuts, but so far I have been 100% in my predictions of what Obama was going to do, because I merely had to look at "Rules for Radicals" to see what was coming next. I read Glenn Beck's book, " Common Sense " and in it re-read Thomas Paines pamphlet with the same name. I recommend the book.
When the storm finally hits (and it will), those of you who supported the Obama administration will be affected as well. It won't just be us gun owners or Flat-Taxers, or Pro-Lifers that get hit. You'll be right there next to us. You all thought the Conservatives were nut cases. You know, all of us who believe in God, small government, the Second Amendment, etc. You thought you could just go back to sleep after the election was over. In your world, America will continue as before. You'll still have the same rights, the same nice house, the same big screen television. After all, your high school football team won and the other team lost - go team! Even if you have bothered to look up from the daily grind since Nov 4th, you dismissed everything that has occurred as "politics as usual--the same old stuff".
In the end, it'll all be OK won't it? Not this time.
There are a growing number of citizens in the US that are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, it's blatant abuse of the constitution, and it's attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism. You have to listen carefully to hear them, but they are there. I won't start that fight, but when it goes down I will join it.
As for you, why, you'll be shocked because you didn't see it coming. And eventually you'll be saddened when you see that we have truly lost the way of life with which you grew up. You'll be saddened that your children and grandchildren live in a socialist, government-controlled gulag where their every movement from cradle to grave is tracked by the government. But most of all, you'll be saddened by the death of friends and relatives who are brave enough to fight and die for something they believe in.
You know, McCain wasn't much of a candidate. I'll give you that. He was the lesser of two evils for most of us. I don't blame you for not voting for him since, at the time, you didn't know what we all know now. But at least John McCain was an American. He was a supporter of the American way of life and he understood that you can't negotiate with terrorists. He understood and appreciated the sacrifice made by my father and other members of the Greatest Generation.
Mark my words friends. All across America groups are forming. They are forming out of anger and out of desperation at the thought of losing America . They're not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland security would have you believe; they are Americans, loyal to the constitution. They are mothers and fathers and grandparents . They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause. But sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together. Watch for it, wait for it--get ready. It will happen.
When that event happens, whatever "it" is, our great country is going to plunge into chaos for a while. I pray to God that we make it through that time and emerge a stronger, smarter country.

The Difference Between Liberals and Conservatives ...
I didn't write this .... but once again, I agree ... so I am posting ....
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one should have one.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.
If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
If a conservative is homosexual, they quietly enjoy their life. If a liberal is homosexual, they loudly demand legislated respect.
If a black man or Hispanic is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal wants all churches to be silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.
And the list goes on .... feel free to add your own!!!
