We need a new Abraham Lincoln.

One last thought for the night. The way I see it we have only two choices which will result in the end of our democracy or a reaffirmation of Life, Liberty and Happiness. Lay down and America dies or stand up and America lives. Lincoln already said it, "United we stand, divided we fall". God Bless America.

Edward, and in that same "stand up" spirit... I am very disappointed that President Obama did not stand up to the Tea Party folks who held America hostage until they got what they wanted.  For them... there is no such thing as being "united"... unless everyone else simply does as they demand.

Abe Lincoln was echoing the words of Jesus Christ, who said:

       "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

I agree that we are to work things out so we will have a strong and prosperous country.  Not play to the cameras all the time.

The founding fathers planned for the situation we have now.  We all just have to stand up and say "enough" loud enough so they hear us.

We have a way to restore our democracy and prevent an oligargy before it's too late, but we don't have much time.  The few are taking over and an accelerated rate. I wish I had more faith in the masses as they are complacent, uniformed, lazy and idolize the wrong people who they have made their demigods.  We can with a revolution at the voting booths.  They must research, read, listen, watch and vote. We all know ten people and they know ten...

This is NOT a conspiracy theory, it's a fact and it's happening before our eyes...Either close them or open them.

New World Order or NWO refers to the emergence of a totalitarian one-world government.[2][3][4][5][6]

The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government—which replaces sovereign nation-states—and an all-encompassing propaganda that ideologizes its establishment as the culmination of history's progress

Ed:  OMG... how could I have not seen that ?  You're one of these New World Order fanatics.  I should have known... you're so far off the deep end.  Next thing you're going to start writing about is Area 51.  Right ?  LOL.

From Karen to Ed:  Ed, I am sure this was an oversight on your part... but you forgot to put this in a comment box when you made this comment to me.   So... I did you the favor of inserting it into this post... since this was the one where you mentioned the New World Order.  I will put together a response to this comment of yours... and then respond to you.  Have a great day.  Now, here is the comment you made to me in your email just now.  I would not want your fans to miss your words of wisdom.  Thanks so much.

From Ed to Karen:  You said:  I get very angry as those who speak without knowing the facts, condemn without doing the research, theorize with testing the theory, follow without looking and like lemmings go willingly and peacefully to their suicides. Please don't contact me anymore because I am reaching out to only those whose who, like me, are for the first time afraid for America, and can see what is right in front of their faces. The masses are divided culturally and by their languages. The masses do not want to take the time to study and rather ignore what is happening. For example, I have an associate that is so uninformed she didn't even know what the Tea Party was and I had to explain. She had no concept of Obamacare and was oblivious to anything remotely related to the news. She just wanted Change for change sake. This is not a democrat thing, it's not a republican thing, it is bipartisan thing and almost all of them are involved. YOU CAN'T SEE IT! ARE YOUR THAT EYES WIDE SHUT. I would assume from you comments I can put you in the same category as my associate. I've done the research, I've observed what is happening, I listen, I'm open and then I decide. As a methodical, practical non alarmist I am not blind. It is crystal clear and only those who go with blind faith and ignore what has been happening dismiss it as a paranoid conspiracy. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE COUNTING ON. It's only very recent that it has become blatantly apparent that a thinking, rational person and now begin to see it exponentially moving globally. So, maintain your blind faith and close our eyes, bury your head because you don't want to open yourself up to just the remote possibility that, yes, this could happen in America. Tell that to the 6 million Jews that Germany slaughtered that also buried their heads, closed their eyes until they would no longer open and also said, "it couldn't happen".

Karen:  The email I sent originally was for you not meant to be published, but on second thought it should.  Liberals who put their blind faith in the thugs hands deserved getting what is in store for them.  I get very angry as those who speak without knowing the facts, condemn without doing the research, theorize with testing the theory, follow without looking and like lemmings go willingly and peacefully to their suicides. Please don't contact me anymore because I am reaching out only to those who, as I am, are for the first time afraid for America, and can see what is blatantly obvious right in front of our faces. The masses are divided culturally and linguistically. The masses do not want to take the time to study, but rather ignore what is happening.  For example, I have an associate that is so uninformed she didn't even know what the Tea Party was until I explained.  She had no concept of Obamacare and thought it meant she would have free health care.  It was overwhelmingly apparent she had no knowledge of anything remotely related to the news and current events, but ask her why Sandra Bullock and Jessie James split up.  She told me she just wanted "Change".  This is not a Democrat thing, it's not a Republican thing, it is bipartisan thing and almost everyone of them are involved.  YOU CAN'T SEE IT?  ARE YOUR THAT EYES WIDE SHUT?  I would assume from your comments I can put you in the same category as my associate.  I've done the research, I've observed what is happening, I listen, I'm open and then I decide for myself instead of letting our leaders decide for me.  As a former navy fighter pilot I am a methodical, practical non alarmist I am neither blind nor dumb.  It is crystal clear to many citizens of the World, and only those who go forth with blind faith, ignore what has been happening and dismiss the possibility that there just may be a conspiracy dismiss us as paranoid delusionals prophesying the "End of World". THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE COUNTING ON, and you like the masses are falling into the trap.  Only very recently did it become blatantly apparent that a thinking, rational person can no longer ignore, but just now begin to see the light and the exponential growth of The New World Order's plan which has become like a rapidly spreading Cancer on a global scale.  So, maintain your blind faith and close our eyes, bury your head because you don't want to open yourself to the remotest possibility that something is going on, and yes, this could happen in America.  Tell that to the 6 million Jews that Germany slaughtered that also buried their heads, closed their eyes until they would no longer open and also said, "it couldn't happen".

Ed:  Just a suggestion, here.  Your last two comments... # 7 and #10... did not appear with your picture, and with a blue background... because you were not logged in when you made those comments.  So... they ended up appearing like they were a comment from someone who was not a member of Active Rain.

Also... suggestion #2.  You mentioned in your comment that you are reaching out only to those who are open to what you are saying.

To that end, I might suggest that you start your own Active Rain group. You can then have folks who agree with you join that group, and then post to that group.  That way, you will not have to have comments made that disagree with your viewpoints.  Everyone you are talking to... in writing your post to your own group... will be prone to agree with you.

There are already several different groups that have done this... so they can discuss things they choose... in the relative peace of being with those of like minds.  If you would like help doing this, I would be pleased to assist you.

Just a thought... being helpful here.

By the way... I am not a "head in the sand" person.  I am somewhat of a news and politics junkie.  I regularly read perhaps twenty or so websites... scanning for articles of interest... from both sides of the political fence... from Huffington Post and Think Progress on the left, to TownHall.com on the far right... and many sites in between.  And again... have a wonderful day.
