It's Reading is Fundamental Thing

Dear America,

"how cool is it that the same God 

that created oceans and mountains and galaxies

 looked at you and thought

 the world needs one of you too"

words found on a table decoration,  in a catalog called  natural life...give, love, laugh

i will shop here, one day, not just because it sells pretty things, it puts GOD is the cool category! can I get an amen?

you know what's not cool, is how things have changed.

Read this, from Gary Bauer @The Patriot Post...."A Disturbing Poll"

Need another view, read Star Parker, here.  (it's also featured at The Patriot Post)

Here's a good part -- 

The founders of the country saw the nation’s existence, its faith and its posterity as a package deal. It all went together. 

Now we have a young generation, our future, that dismisses the importance of all the elements of that package. What might this tell us about where we’re headed? 

The operative questions are: Does the country have a future, a posterity, without children? And will there be children if there is no marriage and family? And will there be marriage and family if there is no religion and God?

good questions, Star.

And from Gary Bauer's piece --

The left’s war on faith has been going on since the 1960s, and it shows no signs of letting up. (The left has adopted radical environmentalism as its religion, and Big Government is its god.) Those on the left are only interested in the Bible as long as they can distort it to promote socialism and more government...

The Founders did not rebel against King George III because they wanted big government telling them what to do. They rebelled because they wanted limited government and individual freedom. If the Founders intended us to be a socialist nation, we would have been a socialist nation since 1789.

and talk about context as to what kind of government our FOUNDERS intended...another MUST READ -- also found @The Patriot Post -- comes from one of my all time favorite people, Walter E. Williams.  In this post, he is responding like a total gentleman to an absurdity happening under the direction of the New York Times, and a thing called "1619 Project."

Here's Williams --

There are several challenges one can make about Hannah-Jones’ article, but I’m going to focus on the article’s most serious error, namely that the nation’s founders intended for us to be a democracy. That error is shared by too many Americans. The word democracy appears nowhere in the two most fundamental founding documents of our nation — the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution...

The founders had utter contempt for democracy. James Madison, the acknowledged father of the Constitution, wrote in Federalist Paper No. 10, that in a pure democracy “there is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual.” At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, delegate Edmund Randolph said, “that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.” John Adams said: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos...”

 In addition to not understanding our Constitution, Hannah-Jones’ article, like in most discussions of black history, fails to acknowledge that black Americans have made the greatest gains, over some of the highest hurdles in the shortest span of time than any other racial group in mankind’s history.

so much of America's fundamentals, and what, precisely, America has accomplished over its last nearly 250 years, is so misunderstood or misaligned today.

Case in point, returning to the AOC for some chuckles...ya right, "young people are more informed and dynamic than their predecessors...they actually take time to read and understand our [world] history." And then also say, "I think this new generation is very profound, and very strong, and very brave, because they're actually willing to go to the streets..."  as if that's never happened before.

And Bernie is no help at all.  Talk about village idiots... 65 million Chinese later.  Yes, Bernie, leadership, like, under Chinese leaders, like Mao, is quite the legacy to follow.

so clearly, this girl has fed you many things to read today.

it's all good, matter of fact, how cool is it that the same God 

that created oceans and mountains and galaxies

 looked at you and thought

 the world needs one of you too

and you can read!

so read up, buttercup, and see you again real soon.  And thank you very much to the coolest place on the web for good reads every single day, @The Patriot Post!  

Make it a Good Day, G
