World stop blaming America

[rjp34652]

In the recent years America has captivated the world’s attention. Other nations are blaming America for having such a bad influence on the world. I guess America has tried to show their kind of freedom throughout the world.

Your nationalistic extremism is blinding you to the truth.

"Don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems that I can hear God saying to America, 'You are too arrogant. If you don't change your ways I will rise up and break the back bone of your power.' The US government is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."

- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1966)

In the twenty first century, America has become a fascist police state. Every nation on the planet knows it. To point the finger and say that everybody else is wrong in their opinion of America does two negative things.

First, it blinds the mind to consideration that -yes- it is quite possible that something is very very wrong with America.

Second, it justifies continued war crimes and policies of spreading American hegemony that is contrary to world peace.

Consider these facts:

During the height of the Roman Empire known as Pax Romana (the peace of Rome) 79 foreign military bases were built to support the military.

During the peak of power of the British Empire, English military bases throughout the world numbered 305.

At the present time the US has approx 1,180 foreign bases (Pentagon figures).

As of this writing the United States fields the largest military of any nation on the planet. Our Navy alone is larger than the next 17 nations combined.

Who are we afraid of? What is all this military hardware buying us? More security or less? More freedom or less? More world peace or less?

Is it really our business to act as referee for all international disputes? The U.N. was supposed to provide that function, remember?

Or is world peace merely an excuse to rob, murder, cheat and destroy any and every nation that opposes the policies of the puppet masters of Washington, DC?

The most highly decorated Marine Corps General in US history, Smedley D. Butler understood all too well the real nature of the US Marine Corps and US foreign policy in general when he concluded after his retirement in 1931 that;

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service, and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."

"The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killings."

- Major Ralph Peters

The time has come for Christians to take a long hard look at the destructive policies of the United States government and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The two are incompatible.

For example, in most Protestant churches the American flag is displayed.

According to flag protocol the American flag is supposed to be displayed on its own right. All lesser flags and emblems are to be displayed to the left of the American flag. Therefore in church you will see the American flag posted on the extreme right - or left if you are sitting with the congregation looking forward. All lesser flags and symbols are to the left of the flag - or on the right if you are sitting in the congregation facing forward.

The cross and/or an alter is usually in the middle of the platform IN A POSITION OF LESSER IMPORTANCE. This is a symbolic way of demonstrating that the Cross and the Word of God is less important than the Federal government of the United States.

Do symbols mean anything? They sure do, especially in church. But that is where the rubber meets the road so to speak . That is where we see quite plainly that American nationalism is superior to Almighty God. And that is exactly why America is not being blessed by God. It is exactly why we are in the midst of economic and social ruin.

America as a nation has forgotten God.

Blind mindless patriotism will not save America. Nationalism will destroy the land that was consecrated before God. Watch and learn.

Instead of peace and joy this Christmas, we are all sharing in national mourning and witness to the blood of innocents shed upon the ground. It is high time for pride in America to take a back seat and for repentance and long sober truthful looks at what we've become. It is time to deny American infallibility and exceptionalism. It is time to humbly ask God to be the Lord of this land instead.

IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA, THEN HE OWES SODOM AND GOMORRAH AN APOLOGY.

but that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...

Hello Rip 34652,

I really find that very impolite from your side! Please first read my posting before shooting nonsense about me personally.

Don't accuse me!

Thank you -

Thomas

P.S.: Well, I reread your posting and I think that maybe, you accidentally wrote that I made up the lines you quoted?

rjp34652, stop blaming the whole of America for what a segment of the population does. That's like saying every German was a Nazi because of what Hitler and his goons did.

Closed, there is just no point to this thread.
