As I watched Elian's plane leave the ground last week, my eyes welled-up with tears. I could not help but wonder what lay ahead for this tormented little boy. Indeed, whether you agreed with Elian going back to Cuba -- or not -- make no mistake about the fact that both he and the people of the
United States will likely pay a terrible price for this sorry episode.
Or do you think that those photos we got of Elian being hauled away by Reno's thugs was just an accident? Normally, Clinton has done most of his nasty deeds in the dark and on the sly; denial has been his modus operandi. Does it not bother you, then, that a photographer was put into place to
catch the whole ugly episode close-up and in living color for the American people to fret over?
We were being sent a message folks. Unmistakably, that message was: "We're the Federal government and we can do whatever we damned well please any damned time we want to do it. Don't mess with us -- or else."
Think about that for a moment. Think about the numerous abuses of power by the Clinton administration which you have seen over the last few years. Think about how arrogantly and frequently we have been lied to by the tag-team of Clinton-Gore-Reno and their criminal cronies. Does it really
surprise you that they now have brazenly shined a light on their dirty activities when they know full well that even our spineless senators won't punish an impeached president?
Where does it stop?
In the end, dear reader, this must stop with you and me if we want any hope of taking back our nation.
"How?", you ask. "What can little ol' me do?" OK, let me spell it out for you.
Turn off your television. Better yet, get rid of it.
Next, if you are not yet registered to vote, get off the couch and go get registered. Do it NOW! The election is only a few months away. Usually you can find registration tables at malls and fairs on the weekends or at your county registrar's office during the week.
When these things are done, stay off the couch and contact the county central committee of the political party you belong to (or the headquarters of a candidate you believe in). Send them -- not the national organizations -- a generous monetary donation and find out how you can donate your time.
What will you be asked to do? Brace yourselves folks -- these are really tough jobs. Lick envelopes. Fold letters. Call people. Sit in malls and help get people registered. Walk and drop literature on doorsteps.
Believe it or not, this is what grass-roots politics is made of: ordinary people doing ordinary things because they love their nation and their values and their families enough to invest some of themselves to make sure they win.
The liberals do this; they've been winning for a long time. What is your excuse? Why aren't you out there? Find someone to watch your children once a week, stop whining and start working. This is your country. Start acting like it.
Finally, for those of you who love the sovereign, living God and are tired of enduring this moral vacuum, consider His words:
If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
(2 Chronicles 7:13-14).
As I write these words, I wonder if what I am feeling is similar to what Captain Von Trapp felt as he prepared to sing "Edelweiss" to his fellow Austrians while the Nazis were overtaking his beloved country. Surely, the speed at which our nation is being driven into the arms of
Immorality and Corruption is appalling and frightening.
Does it have to be this way? Are we too blind, stupid and lazy to get off our butts and help fight for what we know is right? Are you who call yourselves "Christian" too busy to seek God each and every day of your lives?
It is, sorrowfully, too late for poor Elian. It is not yet too late for the United States. Not just yet. But it will be very soon.
Goodbye, Elian. We'll miss you.
