“We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation.”~ Vladimir Putin
Mr. Smith Goes to Hell http://www.bizjournals.com/albany/morning_call/2013/04/multiple-corruption-cases-hit-ny.html
A few short years ago when I entertained the delusion that our Republic could be saved, I traveled to Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington on a chartered bus with sixty fellow patriots. On the way down, we watched Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to set the mood. We were optimistic then…
The fact is that our Republic, as a body, is quite dead. There is a momentum with death that incrementally transmits an awareness of the end to even the healthiest of cells…so that even they begin to subconsciously “get their affairs in order.” On the surface they are still rushing about tending to their day to day, getting the kids on the bus, running their political campaigns, planning their vacations…making ends meet in the land of the free and the home of the brave…from sea to shining sea.
When a body approaches death to finally die, it is a process of failure and submission. As the immune systems fail, the body begins to submit from outside in…from external to internal…from non-vital to vital…to final death and decomposition. A suicide, as Os Guinness describes in our case.
First the spirit goes. Look into the eyes of people and think of the experience in terms of a dimmer switch. You will see the same in supermarkets, subways and sidewalks from the inner cities to the outer suburbs…we are losing our light!
Next is our immune system. The immune system of any society is its own integrity. As Os laments in A Free People’s Suicide, we have none! We have consented to freedom without virtue, leadership without morality and business without trust! The left side of our brain thought it knew better. The right side surrendered! And then we died…
We are in the decomposition phase now. The body begins to feed on itself. With no more defenses to thwart and stave off attack, opportunistic “Smith” cells, bacteria, germs and parasites have their way…while much of the body and remaining cells feed on oblivion, The Daily Show and Friends re-runs.
While another body on the other side of the world is reborn…
“In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that’s the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loudly they yell ‘discrimination’. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are NOT Russians!”~ Vladimir Putin
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation that lasted for five full minutes . . . . . .
Standupnsing 
Such a shame this quote came from the leader of Russia, and not the US….
Welcome to the USSA Wendy; where virtue is vice, morality is liability and trust is mistake!
I’ve been saying this for years…. we’re destroying this nation from within. While we worry about missiles and nukes and pig viruses, the body of this nation is being destroyed by cancers we’re introducing, cancers we’re allowing to spread, cancers we’re promoting and feeding and encouraging. This nation would not be the wonder it is without diversity, and lots of it, but when immigration laws are explicitly written to lock out the people from the countries who brought their dreams of democracy with them, who have proven over generations to be industrious, hard working, contributing members of society, who promote the same values this nation was built upon, while those same laws promote immigration from nations who’s members have not collectively shown to be have those same characteristics, the ending can be predicted as easily as the reaction of a crowd at a Chip Murray concert (bravo!). Ethnic pride, racial pride, gay pride – it’s all encouraged as it should be, because we are all created in HIS image. Cultural, racial, and nationalistic diversity is lauded, as it should be. But if you’re part of the Judeo-Christian block, if you’ve got Western European roots, then dare you utter a word of pride and it’s called bigotry, a disease to be corrected with sensitivity training and by opening our doors to millions of Muslims bent on the takeover of our culture, millions of undocumented Democrats… I mean aliens, and… well, anyone who doesn’t look like a Judeo-Christian, western European bigot.
Significantly beyond well said my friend…I regret to say. 😦
Agreed… Maybe it is time to embrace bigotry and start a ‘Native Pride” movement, trumpeting Putin’s quote. At this point, what have we to lose? ◄Dave►
Profound! This is awesome, Chip. For an old Cold Warrior, my world is truly upside down. I trust what I read in Pravda more than our own MSM, and I wish I could vote for Putin for president of our once free republic. The very fact that you and I, of all people, have given up hope, validates your analysis. At my age, it makes little difference to me here in my hermitage; but I weep for our posterity, most of whom will never even hear about what this exceptional country once was… ◄Dave►
Credit to Dave for uncovering the fact that the Putin quote appears to be false! http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/r/Putin-Says-No.htm
But Smith is still going to hell…and we’re right behind him!
We just celebrated a season of resurrection–a reminder to continue to fight for a resurrected America–“One Nation Under God.” It has to come from the Church, or there will be no resurrection.
If there is one thing that can be said about the last 50 years, it is this. America has turned away from God towards man…and we are reaping the consequences. We need a national divine “intervention”! LOL
