A Land Called America

You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it. — Malcolm X

It’s the time of year, a time of fireworks and parades, when we look at and say to ourselves, “Thank God above I live here.”

Why do we say that? Why do we think that? What is it about this land we call the United States which makes it so special? Are we blessed or are we cursed? Are we chosen or are we normal? Why does the world want to bring us down? Why do we want to bring ourselves down? Why is it when the word America is spoken everyone one only thinks of the United States? Is not Canada, Mexico, and countries south of us, are they not also America? What is it about this country that much of the world is trying to come here? And what is it about our current political leadership, a leadership who is making it their sole mission to destroy this country, why do they want to travel this path?

We are unique because our founding fathers had a vision, a vision today’s leaders are trying desperately to destroy. And they are doing a hell of a job of it. Two major supreme court decisions handed down during the week of 25 June 2012 have set new standards for the freedom we enjoy. The decision of Obamacare is critical to be sure, but the other decision, previous to Obamacare, I believe is far more insidious. The Federal Government told a State, the State of Arizona that they could not protect themselves from invasion.

How dare five people in black robes deny a state their sovereign right to self-defense. How dare the federal government deny the citizens of a state, any state, the right to protect themselves. Yet that is exactly where we are today.

Imagine a life based on forgiveness of self and others … a life based on shedding fear and accepting love … resulting in a life of true inner peace. That’s precisely what thousands of people are attaining through the study of this program.

The leadership types in this country today are the perfect con-artist. They know exactly how to manipulate the human condition to bend to their will. These leaders know the human weakness, how humans are basically, at their core, lazy. Everyone is. There are no exceptions to this rule and law of nature. And it affects the entire world.

What makes people exceptional is the ability to overcome this natural laziness with something more important. Terrorist overcome their laziness with a belief system, however distorted that belief system is. It is what carries their day and makes their will to live or die what it is.

In the world of dictators this laziness is overcome by the immense desire to control, the power of life and death over the innocent.

In the world of crime this laziness is overcome by the lust for money and the power this lust brings. Innocent people be damned, and will be damned by the power of their guns.

In the world of liberal politics this laziness is overcome by the driving desire to change the fabric of a nation. No matter the nation, the desire to rule and manipulate people is the driving force behind their actions.

But in the land of freedom this laziness is overcome by something else – the desire to become better today than yesterday. The desire to work hard, to play by the rules, to treat others fairly, to live a healthy lifestyle, to learn and apply the knowledge, is what drives many people in this land called America.

Why? There is another law of the universe and this law says that you reap what you sow. The downside of this law is there is no time limit on when it works. Melville was several years dead before Moby Dick became a classic. He saw no monetary reward from his work yet today Moby Dick is a literary work of art. It’s not fair, but neither is life.

Still most people who work hard, play by the rules, and treat others with dignity do receive monetary compensation for their effort. The problem today is we have con-artist in the government who want to steal and deny good people their reward. In the con-artist mind these people “stole” from others to obtain what they have and therefore must be punished for their actions. The action of working for what they have.

Meanwhile the rift-raft among us has learned that by supporting the con-artist they will be “rewarded” for their inactions. So they lay back and wait for the government to take care of them. Of course this is all done in the name of “fairness” because today’s government forbids self-reliance and self-improvement. After all it’s not fair that one person should work hard and obtain a lot of money while another does not work and receives nothing. How is that fair? The industrious receives pay for work done and the lazy who never works receives nothing? How fair is that? That has to be corrected, thus the con-artists impose upon us, the people, a concept called class envy. It’s very simple, you have, the government takes, your life is destroyed, and your fortune is given to the lazy rift-raft. Oh excuse me… the unfortunate among us. Because it’s not fair you have and they don’t.

So we have situations where the insane, incompetent, and criminal element is running lose and free and the law-abiding is being destroyed. And if you don’t believe it, just read any of the main stream media articles and editorials. Good is bad and bad is good. After all if the news media prints it, it must be true.

Some call this last days, and maybe it is but I don’t think so. My experience has been that life evolves in cycles and we are in a downward cycle. I believe we are reaching bottom and will soon begin our journey up again, something the liberal elites will never, if possible, allow. For if they did, how could they maintain power over our lives, and constantly remind us that we need them to survive. Without them our life is over.

I’m not saying that we don’t have challenges ahead of us, the terrorist threat alone is enough to verify that. What I am saying is that as a country this lazy streak we are experiencing is coming to an end. Soon people will have a choice, like in the early days of this country, work or starve.

Sounds cruel and the liberals among us will cry that we want to hurt the poor. On the contrary I want to make the poor rich and the only way that can happen is with self-reliance, self-improvement, and belief in themselves. It can’t happen any other way.

A View from the Top is the next chapter in Zig Ziglar’s ongoing personal journey of self-discovery. In this exciting mix of studio and live recordings. Zig will share with you his most intimate discoveries as to what he personally has discovered to be the most important elements of a truly significant life.

What is stopping people from working today is the government policies of “fairness”. But there is nothing fair about it when a government entity steals someone’s self-respect. Only when the individual decides they have had enough of being the political sex object of a government con-artist will things change. And they are changing. If you open your eyes you can see evidence of this change everywhere. Sometimes it takes a good swift kick in the teeth to open the eyes, which is what happened this week with Obamacare and Arizona.

We are the greatest country on the face of the earth despite what the liberal talking heads and main stream media tells us. Being liberal is so easy, so enticing, and so emotional satisfying that overcoming the lies and deception is difficult. But in the end, when the rubber meets the road, only then is it evident that conservative policies is the force that carries the day. A day to greatness, self-satisfaction, happiness, in short the American Dream.

Laziness is inherit and it takes will-power to overcome it, which when translated means it takes a lot of work. Liberalism requires no work, no commitment, no accountability, only self-serving platitudes and the belief that “my intention is all that counts.”

Freedom of choice and the encouragement to excel is what made this country great. We have been promised equal opportunity but never equal outcome. For when a government gives equal outcome, it is no longer a government, it is a dictatorship and a land of Marxism.

It is no wonder the liberal agenda hates the conservative agenda so much. And hate is the correct and proper word. How else can you explain the main stream media?

Conservatives don’t hate but we get frustrated as hell. Liberals hate, and they hate with every fiber of their body. And if you don’t believe it, just tell a liberal you’re a member of the Tea Party…

Then pray like hell because only God can help you.
