"A PLOT TO TAKE OVER OUR GOVERNMENT"
I was reading Camille Paglia's post on Salon.com and she mentioned a movie the "Seven Days in May", about the Joint Chiefs of Staff plot to remove the President of United States whom they regard as too soft and naive about America's enemies. I do not believe I have ever seen this movie, if I have, I do not remember, so after LOST tonight, I may have to find a copy and view it.
Lost Season 5 final is tonight and then after that a long summer and then the FINAL FINAL Season of LOST. An underlying theme to Lost is the FAITH vs. SCIENCE theme that is seen in every episode, this ties into my post and the Seven Days in May. There is a war raging in America. People have different names for it: Red State v. Blue State, Liberal v. Conservative, Individualism v. Collectivism, Capitalism v. Socialism, and so on and so forth. The reality is that it is a war of beliefs, a culture war for the ideals and principles of this Nation. On each side is a strongly held belief or faith in what is the right direction for this country. I believe unintentionally Camille Paglia hit the dichotomy of the two sides. I believe she was trying to show extremism, but in doing so, she has nailed down the two sides of the parties engaged in the Battle for the Mind of America. In Camille Paglia's words:
An argument is solidifying among grass-roots conservatives: Liberals, who are now in power in Washington, hate America and want to dismantle its foundational institutions and liberties, including capitalism and private property. Liberals are rootless internationalists who cravenly appease those who want to kill us. The primary principle of conservatives, on the other hand, is love of country, for which they are willing to sacrifice and die. America's identity was forged by Christian faith and our Founding Fathers, to whose prudent and unerring 18th-century worldview we must return.
The liberals are in charge, and every move being made by the Obama presidency and the Pelosi House are dismantling the institutions of capitalism and private property, whether they hate America, only God knows, because God has exclusive jurisdiction over the matters of the heart and I cannot honestly say whether Obama or Pelosi or for that matter, liberals hate America. My guess is that they love America as much as I do, but because of their beliefs they are destroying America and this can widely be perceived as a hatred for America.
This battle for control of a nation has been played out thousands and thousands of times throughout the history of man. Not that long ago a King and his parliament held the same control over this land and the King abused his authority to strip away liberty, freedom, capitalism, and private property rights from the people who called this nation home. This is were I fit in this battle, on the side, of the founders, our fathers. Our fathers fought for the right to live in freedom and based a government on the authority of a Limited Constitution upon principles in God's word. Yes, I believe this nation was founded upon Biblical Principles, principles that has made this the greatest nation on earth. Most the people in red states believe this also and they are in that second camp.
The battle will rage because we the people were taught well from our founding fathers, so we will stand, we will speak, and if the time shall come, which I pray will never come, we will fight.
