The conjecture around seems to be\u00a0Obama won and Romney lost. I wish it were that simple! I wish we were talking about a football game or a tussle on the playground. We are not. We are not we anymore. E Pluribus Unum is now just a phrase on some money. The precious Union has been bartered\u00a0for comfort and convenience and promises written in smoke by power hungry\u00a0hucksters claiming to be\u00a0the new messiah of the people. The religious fervor that is progressivism or liberalism has spread far and wide. That movement falsely promises to give us utopia. That movement won last night and it won big. Americans have given themselves a gift of short term\u00a0insanity wrapped in a pretty utopian package of hope and change. It is done and it is well with my soul.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing where you belong is important. I clearly do not belong in this movement. Knowing what you believe in is important. I clearly do not believe in this movement. The resulting combination of the two leaves me without a seat at the new, big table in this Country. America no longer believes in me. America has put its future and faith in the hands of those who believe that results are far more important than how you get those results. The short term\u00a0pleasure of the results promised by the election last night will result in long term consequences when reality meets fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForward\u201d was the message of the democrat group this time. They were right. It is time to move forward. However, you have a choice to make. Are you going to choose to be\u00a0an inhabitant or do you choose to be an American? I will not waste time rehashing the reasons for the need to choose. If you do not know, then you did not want to know. If you don\u2019t see a problem with the direction of the Country, then you have chosen. If you support the liberal\/socialist\/progressive ways then you too have chosen. Either of these dictates that you have chosen something other than a Constitutional America and therefore are part of the problem. From now forward you are a barrier in my life and efforts to return to a Constitutional America.<\/p>\n<p>The enemy will seek to dismantle threats. The tools of its arsenal will seem innocuous and come in familiar and desirable packages that you will want to accept, such as the law. The enemy will use the tool of law to ensure it has custody and control over those who oppose them. Next, the enemy will use a very familiar and unpleasant tool of taxation. The dual benefit of the weapon of taxation is that the enemy garners resources to fuel their engines while all along they get that fuel from the hearts and minds and bodies of Americans, believing they are doing their duty. Do not feed the beast. Further, the enemy will use its lackey, the media, to spread its disease to the minds of the impressionable.<\/p>\n<p>The enemy will use your good against you. It is not polite to speak up when authority is talking. It is not socially acceptable to castigate or draw attention to those who are unlike us. It is not respectful to disagree. You don\u2019t disobey your master! My dear American, get ready to be\u00a0uncomfortable! Get ready to be\u00a0persecuted! Get ready to be prosecuted! My dear American, get ready to again secure the promise that was laid out so many years ago by other Americans. It is time. Use this time to be wise, fruitful and purposeful in your efforts.<\/p>\n<p>It is time to prepare. Clearly America is in the hands of those who rape her for their pleasure with absolutely no regard for her honor and precious heart. It is done and we cannot fight the reality of history. Don\u2019t waste a moment of the present on things you cannot change in the past. I call each of you instead to take the present and use that time to prepare for the day that will come. It is time to gather. It is time to teach. It is time to decide because it is time to prepare for the coming war.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; R. A.
