You can tell a lot about the state of our nation, the state of our humanity, by the headlines that bombard us every day. Here's a quick sweep of latest US headlines that tell me all is certainly NOT right in the world:
• Florida Girl, 14, Pins 5-Year-Old to Wall With Car in Fatal Joyride
• Man Charged With Severing Wife's Arm With Ski Boat Propeller
• 12-Year-Old Girl Says Father Forced Her to Dismember Mother's Body With Circular Saw
• 13-Year-Old Boy Pulls Knife on Teacher, Demands Money for Video Game
• Couple Arrested for Putting Days-Old Baby Up for Sale On Craigslist
Yet here we are, taking God out of schools, out of government and out of our daily lives.

Terrorists long for nuclear attack, Russia & China won't be any help to us
I doubt that anyone can continue to deny that terrorists (Islamic extremists in particular) are hell-bent on wreaking as much death and destruction on us here in the west as possible.
However, if there was any doubt in your mind as to the scale of the crisis we face as they lodge their jihad against us, this should put it into perspective for you.
A London paper is reporting today that an Islamic extremist's website is now boasting doctored images portraying the destruction that would be left behind in our nation's capitol if their hateful minions succeeded in waging a nuclear attack.
You can read the story and view the picture here.
And please, do not allow yourself to be lulled into the false sense of security that such an attack is simply not possible. Nukes are no different than drugs or guns. The law may prohibit them, but people can still get their hands on them relatively easily.
Of course we must also keep in mind that, thanks in large part to the growing nuclear program in Iran, the entire Middle East region is headed for a nuclear arms race. Read that story here.
And we can certainly not forget "our friends" Russia and China. Russia is a staunch supporter of Iran's nuclear program, so much so, that they are the ones shipping the nuclear fuel to Iran. Read that story here. China has firmly backed that deal and continues to work with Russia in an effort to keep Iran free and clear of UN Security Council oversight. You can read about the most recent attempt here.
Both Russia and China are entrenched in a great deal of trade with Iran and you can be assured that their allegiances do not lie with America.

Iranian President wants to meet with the Pope
Iranian President Ahmadinejad Requests Meeting With Pope
This was a recent Fox News headline. Am I the only one who finds this a touch unsettling? After all, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the one who has repeatedly called for the total annihilation of Israel...could it be that he feels the need to confess his sins or does he have something more sinister up his sleeve?
You can read the full story here.
This is especially concerning when you consider that, at the same time he is requesting an audience with the Pope, he is also ordering the arrest of newly converted Christians in Iran. You can read that story here.

Pardon the interruption
My apologies for my extended absence. Sometimes you just need a break.
I am a curious creature, as most of us are, so I have continued to ask questions, tell the stories of other people and take an insider's look at the political arena.
This country — our government, our political machine — is about to collapse. I can say this with frank certainty.
We are no longer a government by and of the people. We are, and have been for some time now, a government by and of a corrupt political machine, driven by greed, power, and sometimes, plain old stupidity.
It's fall is inevitable. We are a young nation, built upon the backs and dreams of those who longed for freedom. Yet when those freedoms are granted, we wish to be free of the responsibility they bring. We trade that responsibility to the government in exchange for a modest amount of our freedoms.
It is long past time for the American people to wake up and take immediate steps to saving our nation. We cannot continue to expect our government to do it for us. If we truly want a government by and for the people, we must be willing to accept the responsibility it brings.
