Here
is a Pearl Harbor story you WON'T hear:
I am a teacher, as
some of you might know, for 22 years now in the L.A. United School District.
It was one particular Dec. 7, several years ago, that I received the biggest
wake up call of my life, changing forever my relationship with America
and giving me the understanding of her future battle, her Last War.
I had become sensitive by now, to small aberrations in our "multiculturalism"
policies that even by L.A. standards, were off the charts. But today's
announcements through the school P.A. system were amiss. The eight o'clock
bell mentioned nothing about this profoundly important day in our nation's
history. Business as usual. Nine o'clock rolled around, I thought surely
that something would be mentioned. Nothing. Ten o'clock, nothing. Before
the noon lunch break, I began to become agitated, and walked into the
principal's office.
"Miss, I was wondering why you or the administration hadn't said
anything about Pearl Harbor day," I started off, cautious optimism
mixed with controlled outrage.
"I'm
afraid that we won't be making such an announcement," she said matter-of-factly.
"And the reason?" I persisted, by now completely uninterested
in professional protocols, like keeping my job.
"You
don't seem to understand, Rabbi. We are a multicultural school district.
We have many student here that are of Japanese ancestry. Such a show of
overt patriotism might make them uncomfortable. Apparently, this delicate
matter of cultural sensitivity on your part needs some attention."
I walked out wondering what world I was living in. But it gets better
(or sadly, more tragic).
After lunch, there was a P.A. announcement. After the banal ding-dong, signaling the message, we heard the following:
"In
order to show our patriotism and love for diversity and "multiculturalism",
the L.A. High student council is proud to announce the Gay and Lesbian
dance at noon in the cafeteria...."
The students didn't bat an eyelash. I stared at each of them, waiting
to see if some one's demeanor would somehow be caught of guard and made
sour by the hideous show of national perversity and lack of any sense
of shame. No, these kids were not going to say anything. They didn't notice
anything remiss, just another announcement.
My friends, from that day on, I have been at war with multiculturalism
and "diversity." I want you to know that we are losing that
war. There is no teacher in American public schools today that can say
that we haven't been compromised by a foreign culture, with its foot in
our collective door, letting in concepts and teachings that will ultimately
destroy this country.
So when my dear friend, Pastor Jim Vineyard of Oklahoma City, warned me
about the latest insanity in Kentucky, where "Merry Christmas"
has suddenly become an "issue", I needed to write you. I felt
compelled to tell you that the only way we can defeat this evil is to
confront it head on! Act as though your home was under attack by haters
and bigots, and prepare to fight America's LAST WAR. This is a war we
will not win with bullets or Marines. That's why it will be so difficult,
because the enemy is camouflaged in many deceptive guises.
For many young people reading these words for the first time, it will
come as a shock to you that you have never heard of the plan that our
enemies have to destroy you. Your teachers have been complicit in hiding
from you the very nature of the threat that hovers over the survivability
of your dear ones and community. Your dumbed-down textbooks contain not
one ounce of truth about the stealth and patience of those that stalk
us, their absolute surety and hardened resolve to enslave us and transform
the America we have known and love. Your very schools have been transformed
into breeding camps, paving the way for the future shock troops of the
alien culture that will supplant you.
This
is right out of the books written by Marx, Lenin, and those who have threatened
us for generations. Look it up for yourself! Your teachers will not help
you. They are in bed with those that want to control your thoughts and
energies, channeling them into the future utopia sung about and praised
on so many college campuses during my youth in the 60's.
Marxism 101: To destroy the fabric of a nation, like the United States,
cannot be done through war. The US is too strong to defeat militarily.
In order to render it pacified, one must destroy it from within, through
its institutions and moral belief systems. Turning neighbor against neighbor,
creating political and labor unrest, inciting race against race, and CAUSING
THE PEOPLE TO START TO DOUBT THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, CAST ASPERSIONS
UPON THEIR SPIRITUAL LEADERS AND DOCTRINES, CREATING SOCIETAL ANARCHY
THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MORAL RELATIVITY, WHERE ALL SOCIETAL RELIGIOUS FOUNDATIONS
COME UNDER QUESTION--these are at the root of our present moral decay.
My dear friend, this is why saying "Merry Christmas" is now
under attack! This is the first shot over the bow in a war, America's
LAST WAR, that you will be forced to fight. Don't like the idea of fighting?
Get used to it! You (we) have dawdled too long. The night is spent, the
dawn is near, and America must wake up to the new slave masters that are
at the door. Someone once said that freedom is only won through the shedding
of blood from time to time. I think this is true. But we can avoid it
from being OUR blood only if we act now.
Witness:
•
In San Diego, Calif., Muslim taxi drivers take up an entire street downtown
with their prayer mats rolled out on the sidewalk. NO ONE DARE BOTHER
THEM, THEY WALK AROUND THEM DURING PRAYER! Ask yourself: Would Christians
blocking the path of shoppers and businesses be accorded the same niceties?
• In Dearborn, Mich., the residents must suffer
the blaring from the Muslim minarets FIVE TIMES A DAY, calling for prayer
in Allah's name. HERE! NOW! IN AMERICA, NOT AFGHANISTAN!! Ask yourself:
What would the ACLU do if Christians were to affirm their prayer in such
a brazen, incorrigible way?! You already know the answer.
• Harvard university was forced to spend PUBLIC
FUNDS FOR MUSLIM FOOT BATHS so practitioners of that "peaceful"
religion would feel "inclusive" during their prayer.
Ask yourself the questions: If public funds were to provide Christians
with beads, crosses, wafers, bibles--what would the local leftist politicians
do?
• Many communities are under pressure in the U.S.
to institute sharia law (where Muslims are only held accountable according
to the Koran). In Britain, the head of the Anglican church has already
sanctioned such a concept!! Yet, to teach about the Holocaust has been
outlawed in such communities, lest rioting and social conflict occur.
Ask yourself: If Christians were to declare that they wanted to be judged according to biblical precepts, who would be the first to be called a racist bigot????
•
Kansas City airport (last time we checked, it was city property, accountable
to taxpayers) has purchased foot washing basins for Muslim prayer. As
has the universities of Boston, Washington, and Temple. Ask yourself:
What if Christian groups were to petition such a singular use of government
funds, how fast would the first law suit come?
• Carver Elementary School (San Diego, Ca.) has
a district mandated 15-minute prayer period for Muslim kids. What? How,
you'll ask? Isn't there a separation of church and state? Ah, of course,
if you're a CHRISTIAN!
You get the picture. Here's the difficult part. You work hard, raise your
kids to believe in G-d, you pay your taxes, and pledge your support for
America. To recoup from a blistering week, you relax on the weekend, go
to church, be with your kids....another week has passed. What's missing
from this picture? While you are either too busy to notice, or simply
exhausted and have no energy, there are people out there who HATE YOU,
24-7, AND ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK, QUIETLY, TO DESTROY YOUR WAY OF
LIFE. Even more difficult, is that there is an increasing awareness among
all of us, that our politicians ARE IN BED WITH THESE VERY GROUPS!!
Think about it!! How could any red-blooded American promote or enable
sharia law? How could any of our neighbors stab us in the back like this?
Answer: corruption combined with political correctness. We are reaping
the bitter harvest of those insane Viet Nam years of dislocation and hammering
away at America's values. Those 60's hippies are now on the boards of
education and in our halls of Congress. The decay of our nation is not
in some cave in Afghanistan, but right here in our communities and college
campuses.
I was driving around the neighborhood one day recently when I had to pull
over to the curb to write something down. By chance, I happened to be
right next to a religious school, and could audibly make out a song coming
from the classroom whose open door faced the street. I was struck as if
by a trance, my whole essence became frozen for one moment as I heard
the children sing: "Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves
of grain. For purple mountains' majesty, above the fruited plane. America...America...G-d
shed his grace on thee. And crown Thy good, with brotherhood, from sea
to shining sea." I awoke from my trance, wiped away the tears, and
knew the last time I heard that song was 50 years ago, as a lad in the
2nd grade!! We just don't hear such overt manifestations of patriotism
in our schools. But we hear plenty about Gay rights, lots of Christian
bashing and guilt trips laid on us by Muslim agitators and America haters.
No limit to how we're destroying the world (never mind how our young soldiers
are trying to save the world in some desolate hole where life isn't worth
a plug nickel). We never get enough about how the Southwest U.S. is actually
Mexico, and how the "reconquista" (the Hispanic re-conquering
of America) will throw us back to Europe where we belong.
No, this LAST WAR that we face shall start right here. RIGHT NOW. WITH
YOU AND ME!! No more Mr. Nice Guy. There will be a massive call by your
local religious leaders to stand up and be counted. DO IT! Turn off the
TV, put down the beer, go off-line for a few minutes on behalf of the
country that has given you your FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. GO AND
PROTEST THE TAKING AWAY OF THE ONLY REASON FOR THE GOODNESS AND MIRACLE
OF THE COUNTRY, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH!
Treat each example of "Happy Holidays" as a direct hit by haters
of you and your family. Each time you hear this, boycott the station,
whether radio or TV! Let them know who is the boss. How is it that Dr.
Laura's TV debut was boycotted by ONE MILLION GAYS AND LESBIANS WHO THREATENED
PALMOLIVE COMPANY. How is it that they succeeded in censoring one of the
America's top personalities from expressing her constitutionally sanctioned
right of free speech. Yet we are reconciled with politicians who bow to
our enemies and are complicit in destroying the sanctity of Christmas?
The answer: we let them do it.
My dear Americans, it's time to change the script. We must:
1-
insist, implore, advocate, and act to re-institute the teaching of the
10 commandments in our schools.
2- support candidates that oppose sharia law
3- monitor books and curricula for anti-christian or
anti-Western culture biases while downplaying communism, Islam, and the
Gay/Lesbian lifestyle
4- declare a war to the death on "multiculturalism"
(this is nothing but propaganda and inculcating our youth to hate America,
while yielding to the forces of Islam and radical activists whose target
is middle class America and it's values)
5- promote, honor, sanctify, and support marriage
6- INSTITUTE AN OPEN, UNABASHED CAMPAIGN TO HAVE MORE
CHILDREN. BRINGING THEM UP WITH PRIDE IN AMERICA, ITS VALUES, AND RELIGIOUS
BELIEFS.
There
was once a dark moment in our history at Valley Forge. Under siege, General
Washington was wont to pray on his knees in full sight of the troops.
Let us contemplate his words so long ago:
"The honor and safety of our bleeding country, and every other motive
that can influence the brave and heroic spirit, call loudly upon us to
acquit ourselves with spirit. In short, we must now determine to be enslaved
or free. If we make freedom our choice, we must obtain it by the blessings
of Heaven on our united and vigorous efforts."
