You Should Know

The failings of the media in this nation are many, and anybody who can't tell that most of it leans to the left by observing it should enroll in the first grade again.

The mainstream media is no longer interested in reporting the news as such, it is interested in advancing an agenda and protecting the candidates and the causes they support.

But as much of a disservice as they do by their biased reporting there is another, and possibly even more dangerous, bias in what they choose not to report.

If you don't believe that, just talk to someone who has spent some time in Iraq and see what they think about the major American media.

There are things going on in this world that Americans need to know about, important things that will affect the way we look at certain countries who claim to be democracies but who trample on the basic rights of it's citizens under the auspices of socialism and political correctness.

Did you know that home schooling is against the law in Germany, and that parents who defy that law face serious consequences such as having their children taken away from them and made wards of the state?

Did you know that recently a group of German police walked on to a plane and took a seven-year-old boy away from his parents, a family that was leaving the country?

Did you know that one of the basic tenants of socialism is that the children belong to the state, to be brought up and educated, not as the parents see fit, but as the state sees fit?

Did you know that sex education begins in grammar school in Germany when the children are at an age where they have no hope of understanding what they are being taught?

I seriously doubt if very many of you have even heard about this and I wouldn't have either if I relied on the New York Times or one of the major network news programs.

Now you may be wondering why I'm making such a fuss about what's going on in Germany and other parts of Europe.

Well here it is plain and simple, people. It could very well happen here, and don't ever think it can't.

With the likes of sellouts like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Henry Waxman and the rest of the Democrat majority anything is possible. They could slip a provision into a bill concerning Social Security or the defense budget and you'd never know about it until it was passed into law and being enforced. They are totally untrustworthy and capable of doing anything, no matter how low, to advance their power grabbing agenda.

Outlawing homeschooling has nothing to do with education and everything to do with controlling the minds of our children.

If the Congress was truly concerned with a quality education, they would simply give every family vouchers and let them send their children to whatever school they wanted.

That way Christian parents could send their children to schools where they would be taught the Bible and could pray in the classroom. Jewish parents could send their children to schools where the Jewish religion is practiced, Muslims to Muslim schools and so on.

But as I stated earlier the issue is not about education, it is about power over every facet of your life.

You see folks, the Obama crowd thinks that people in this country are too dumb to know what's good for them and they are determined to force their agenda on all Americans.

You've got to watch these people, they pass legislation they haven't even read, they go into session late at night and add amendments they do not want us to know about.

These people are arrogant, condescending and dangerous and there is no depth to which they won't stoop to force their will on us.

America has two choices, either stand up now or stand down and watch the President and Congress take away our rights little by little until we, in essence, become a third world dictatorship.

You can believe it now or believe it later, but believe it you will. Obama is a socialist and a fascist, and if you disagree with that please take the time to look up the words before you respond.

I for one will never live like that and will fight this ungodly madness as long as I can breath.

Long live America. Live free or die trying.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, and for our country.

God Bless America,

Charlie Daniels
