It occurs to me that, even with the advent of the Internet and varied other methods of communication today, many people are still abysmally ignorant of how the U.S.A. is changing right before our eyes.

And so, I take it upon myself (naturally) to inform you of a few things, and I am very sure that this is only the zenith of the iceberg.

These will appall you, so please be prepared!

Former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt has been ousted from the service for a heinous crime . . . that of praying "in Jesus' Name"! This is the thanks he gets for service 15.5 years and earning a long line of award-winning evaluations.

Of course, this is a violation of this man's Constitutional right to freedom of religion, but who cares?

Six top evangelical ministries have been targeted by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa. The U.S. Senate Finance Committee sent letters to Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Randy and Paula White, Creflo Dollar, and Eddie Long, asking them all for detailed information on expenses, executive compensation, amenities given to executives, and lists of all their donors and the amounts of those donations.

This is private information, but nonetheless, at least one ministry that I am aware of has voluntarily contacted the Internal Revenue Service and opened their books unabashedly to their investigation, instead of kow-towing to an arbitrary request by the Senate Committee. This was done, because the I.R.S. is obligated by law to keep their findings private. The Senate has no such legal or moral obligation!

Of course, this is a violation of these ministries' Constitutional right to freedom of religion, but who cares?

The American Congress for Truth tells of a man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

"Very few people were true Nazis," he said, "but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp, and the Allies destroyed my factories."

We are told again and again by "experts" in the U.S.A. that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. This is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.

It is the fanatics who march . . . who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide . . . who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor kill . . . who take over mosque after mosque . . . who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. The hard quantifiable fact is that the "peaceful majority," the "silent majority," is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.

China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across Southeast Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians, most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemies if they don't speak up, because, like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun. Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghanis, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died, because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.

But who cares? That was them, back then. It couldn't happen to us . . .

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts—the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

And I haven't even touched on the dastardly things that are being foisted upon our innocent children in the public schools and universities throughout our land, the way history revisionists have bastardized our textbooks, the way that the theory of evolution is being taught as irrefutable fact, when quite the opposite is true, the way all vestiges of patriotism and Christianity are being systematically removed and even banned, not only from our public schools, but from the public square as well.

But who cares?

To conclude this rather lengthy article, I have probably forgotten to include many other important issues, but please wake up to the ones above . . . before it is too late!
