God Bless America

R.D. Aaland

Description

This book is about the wonderful type of government that our forefathers left us. It is a country to be governed by the people, for the people. Over the years our elected officials sometimes forget the wishes of our founders. In this book I guide the reader into realizing how great this country is when the politicians follow the Constitution and the Bible. These were the bases for this new kind of government that was established in 1778. This book gives many examples of how our elected officials should look to the Constitution and the Bible when making laws. Too often our politicians forget they work for “we the people.”

FOREWORD
Dear Heavenly Father, please guide my words that this country and the entire world may come to know you better and realize that you are God. Give me the knowledge to put into words the message that you want the world to hear. Amen
T HIS BOOK IS important for our future and for the kind of country that we will be leaving for our grandchildren. We cannot settle for the status quo. We need jobs! We need to do our own manufacturing. Joining the World Trade Organization may be one of the worst decisions this country has ever agreed to. The usefulness of the United Nations is probably a thing of the past. It is not run for the benefit of humanity, but for the greedy rich persons (GRPs) who are attempting to rule the world under one government. Communist China and the coronavirus are perfect examples of how the United Nations does not protect us. Products not manufactured or produced in this country must first have high tariffs added to them before they are placed in our stores. Food that is not grown and processed in this country must be well marked. Thomas Jefferson felt that the entire federal government should be financed by tariffs, except in time of war. This may not be feasible with today’s global economy, but we need to take care of North America before we try to save the world. My friend Larry asked me, “Are you an isolationist?” I said, “No,” then I thought maybe, “I am, sorta.” I believe strongly that capitalism is the best economic policy, and it is time for my fellow American citizens to ensure it is our policy for many years to come. I do not want to live in a country that does not have a democratic form of government. Please do not let the “greedy rich persons” buy our elected representatives. We need to take back our economy and our government. We all must do our part. Our schools at all levels must teach the wonderful results of capitalism and the extra poverty of socialism.
What are the biggest threats to America right now, one year into the Biden administration?
1. Open border policy
2. Socialist parading as Democrats
3. A president that no country respects
4. Liberals masquerading as the friend of the poor
5. Muslim terrorist and sharia law
6. A one-world government run by GRPs
7. An extremely poor education system that keeps getting worse
8. The lack of God’s guidance
9. Threats to dismantle the Constitution one piece at a time
10. The Democrats and Republicans
11. A news media that lies more than they tell the truth
12. The World Health Organization is now run by communist China
In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev beat his shoe on the table while addressing the United Nations. He said, “We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.” Would socialized medicine lead to the socialization of other phases of our lives? Vladimir Lenin thought so. In 1945 he declared, “Socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of the socialist state.” And now in America, we have the Affordable Care Act or, as it is commonly known, Obamacare. Our medical expenses have skyrocketed, but who is getting rich?
The following story is credited to Anonymous. A foreign exchange student attending an American college asked his professor, “Do you know how to catch wild pigs?”
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke. “You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.” The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government, especially the liberal Democratic Party, keeps pushing us toward communism, socialism, liberalism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time. This does not count the billions of dollars spent to boost our economy due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Parts of this book were originally published under the title, “Saving Our Democracy.” Because of the lack of publicity and sales, most of you have never heard of it. But seeing how everything that I was worried about happening is now taking place, I decided to rewrite it and update it to meet the needs of 2022 America. I have added sections on Christianity in government, taxes, tariffs, Social Security, and our budget because it seems that our government cannot handle it by itself. I have also used the term GRBs to describe the unknown rich people who are behind the scenes and who are getting rich by because they lack morality and ethics.
The more I study our government, the more I believe that our two-party system has lost its effectiveness. The Democrats and Republicans are miles apart on theory, but identical on their representation of the voters. Both parties’ candidates will tell you lies to get elected and then do exactly what the party tells them to do. Therefore, I would like to see a new third party take over, one that represents the moderate American. There have been a few independent candidates elected at both the state and federal levels, so it is possible to win election when the message is right. The Tea Party looked at first like they might be the answer, but the way the press has labeled them, they are way too conservative, and this eliminates way too many voters. It also received a great amount of negative publicity from the news media because the Tea Party is not liberal, like our newspapers and other sources of media. The Tea Party seems to be made up of disgruntled Republicans that want change, but they do not have the guidance that would make them a real factor in the future of our government.
The other new party may be Occupy Wall Street. With slogans like, “United we bargain and divide we beg,” it may also be used against them. It sounds like a page out of the Communist Party’s policy. I mention throughout the book the need for a representative political party and the only name I will use is moderates. Someone else can have the privilege of naming the party. Until this “new” party is introduced,
