What is Going on Down Southern USA?

We know the TV news and the Face Book postings are different; the Face Book postings seem to come from a little deeper search and more of a pointed viewpoint. So keep an eye on the face book postings indeed!

One of the more interesting postings dealt with a USA flag flying under a Mexican flag on a Mexican business in Arizona. A former vet walked up to the pole and pulled down both flags and cut the American flag off the pole and carried it away leaving the Mexican flag lay on the sidewalk. The Mexican business owner stood there with a friend and after the vet walked away with strong comment that this was not going to happen on his watch, the video camera person approached the Mexican proprietor and asked what his thoughts were of the flag being taken down. The Mexican didn't say anything but did go over to pick up his flag off the sidewalk and went into his store shutting the door on the camera person. This story happened just this last 2009.

In the next two incidences I am including here, the USA flag is flying upside down as it was not in the previous incident yet the Mexican flag is again flying on top of the USA flag.

This next article is generated right off of snopes: http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/mexicoflag.asp

and shows that the article is “true,” and was posted in April of 2006. And this last article shows the consequences of the flying of the upside down USA flag with the Mexican flag having top priority: http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=35506 Students were fined.

We are the USA. First, middle, and last. Anybody loosing sight of that should be taken to task indeed. We can be a mixed culture, but this country was founded, is, and should always be the USA. No war has come and another country upending us that we should be under another countries rule or flag.

We are not only looking at Israel as occupied; we are now pretty much occupied too. Twice over it seems. I love all people but I do not want confusion of Mexican or Islamic 'governments' in place of the Republic for which it stands! So that we could have a 'Republic,' our families fought and died. Granted we have always welcomed in the troubled but not so they can be troublesome! I hope those running from their ruthless country and have slipped into our space to save their lives will understand now that they are able to breath and live and have a being, they really should behave and become one of us or go back and fight for their country to become what we gave up our loved ones as they fought for our freedom. They could really receive Christ as their LORD and Savior and then they would clearly understand this for we should do onto others as we would have them do unto us. It is the golden rule everybody should understand.

The articles from snopes and the dealing with the students is one thing but to have business men who have been welcomed in and sheltered and made survivors through the graciousness of the USA to now put themselves above their helpers that rescued them in time of their need are out of order to fly their flag above ours. In fact, if theirs was a simple moving of themselves into our country to embrace the American dream it still does not give them the right to force their governance on us and then not accept ours. Nor to make their minority rule when we are in a democracy where the majority rules. They are free to follow our laws and respect our flag, constitution, jurisdiction, etc., and they should expect consequences for not doing so.

In so many ways our country is being taken over by occupation. In other words “from within.” I can understand the concern how it is being done illegally yet besides. I don't hate and it has nothing to do with anything except we need to at least try being legal.

But 'peace' can still be reached through Christ and His ways for us Christian's though. I share this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECxUupqLNQA&feature=PlayList&p=138CFD562D348799&playnext_from=PL&index=25&playnext=3

We should be amazed at God our Savior, not at the audacity of those who occupy us. To look at God's grace is to be amazed.

Only in America!

I hope that the National Day of Prayer went off without a hitch for you as it did for me. Our city gathered at the court house for prayer under the USA flag by a war memorial. I am not saying which war the memorial was for because all wars that have been fought to maintain our freedom is as important as the other.

An establishing of the reason for our gathering was made clear right at the beginning and it was to lift the name of our God on high and His name is Jesus the Christ. That is exactly what we did for the full hour; in love, humbleness and joy did we do that.

A choir of Teen Challenge men sang and led us in hymns. Prayer warriors of Pastors, the chief of the Police, a highway patrol man, Sheriff, mayors, ex military men of various wars, governmental representatives, ordinary folks like myself and more lifted our LORD's name on high in prayer and singing.

We praised God to be in a country that is still free enough to be able to do this; meet in broad daylight and pray out loud lifting up the matchless name of Jesus Christ at our own free will because we love God; Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Ghost. I arrived home to a phone call from a friend in another town asking if I was in hand cuffs yet? Of course she was only teasing me but that is the point, isn't it; To be free enough to not be arrested for worshiping in a public place. It is an altogether awesome gift that I do thank God for everyday it is still here! It felt good to still be able to say, “Only in America.” We are the ones with such encompassing freedom.

I treasure to hang onto this freedom. We have been seeing a different trend that collectively many of us have not liked. We have pursued the normal course of contacting our representatives and to no avail. Things have rammed through relentlessly and we in America became the great nation we are because we are people who don't like things rammed through. So we said, “Okay, we will see you at the polls next Fall when it comes time to vote.” After today, that desire sits even deeper in me for I want very much to hang onto what we did under the flag today to continue on for my children and their children. I want them to know and say with full realization, “Only in America.”

So I ask, are you keeping tabs of who is running in your district? Do you know about your candidates to make a wise choice at the voting booth? This is the year we really need to do this. In fact, lets start with knowing how to find which district you are in so you can understand who your candidates may be. Check this site here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MN-districts-108.JPG

Immediately I could tell I am in district 8 and when I clicked on district 8 I can tell immediately who is my current representative. Get yourself familiar, friends, on how to search out all the information you need to go to the polls prepared to vote your conscious. It is another thing we can still do and lets not let it slip away.

In a lingering heart to praise our LORD, I end the post with this:
