A friend of mine was telling me how the below radio segment really spoke to her on a common sense level. She shakes her head and smiles at me while I wax enthusiastic about what is happening in our world today, so I went in search of the segment and found it. Now keep in mind folks, that James Gregory is a black man. He is in his 60's and full of a ton of old fashioned wisdom. He is a wildly successful comedian. If you are pressed for time, skip to minute 6, it is classic.

Have you ever really wondered why the United States of America has always been such a special place? Why when other countries have Revolutions they are a bad thing and lead to tyranny, while the US avoided this fate? When our military goes into another country we do so to defend, liberate, and leave - while other countries seek to occupy, tax, and control. I believe that the Godly people who founded the country and the generations of people who came before us laid such a foundation of prayer and blessings upon their children and grandchildren that GOD has protected and prospered us, not for our own sake, but because of the prayers of our Grandparents.

Agreed!

My Pastor has said, and I agree with him, that God has blessed the United States of America for two reasons, to fund evangelism throughout the world and to protect Israel.

When we stop doing those things... well, I just hope He comes to get us first.

It is so outlandish and satirical, like being in backwards world. I am reminded of a conversation I had with a client of mine several years ago. He was a gay man from San Fransisco and he and his partner had adopted a child who was the same age as my son. We were quite friendly and were discussing watching movies over and over again with our 3 year olds. I mentioned a Disney movie my son was watching and asked if his son had seen the movie. I will never forget what he said, "No, we tend to steer away from Disney movies because of their traditional family values. We don't want to confuse our son about women this early on." I didn't even know what to say.

Frustrated with not being able to easily contact your representatives?

Pandemonium and mob rule would be the order of the day - we live in a Republic, not a Democracy.

Here - Here!

Ronald Reagan's 1981 Inaugural Address. This is what we need. It is amazing how we have now returned to where we were before Reagan. These are the values we embrace, this is the return we need. Here is REAL Hope and REAL change. Note Reagan's use of the words, Republic, Business, and Economic Crisis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpPt7xGx4Xo
