“Open Letter to My Dissatisfied American Citizen.”

Let me tell you, my dissatisfied American citizen, that after the countless lives lost of Americans, the financial ruin of the republic, and single-handedly embolden the country’s enemies to attack America as we engage in a second Civil War, you may overthrow the government and/or secede from the Union. But I doubt it.

Like America’s first Civil War, there are citizens willing to fight and die for the preservation of the country. You seek anarchy, chaos, and violence instead of civility, peace and participating in the electoral process that has kept America from destroying itself for more than 100 years.

Still, I find it interesting that the last President’s administration participated in some of the worst political corruption to date, violated the Constitution, the very document that you are prepared to “water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots,” but you never marched on Washington to voice your disdain with his administration and the government to hold them accountable for their acts of treason। This is the same former President that called Americans “unpatriotic” if they spoke out against the war he lied about to thrust America in. The President that in 8 years never caught Bin Laden, the architect of the terrorist attack on America, the President that catastrophically widened the gap between America’s wealthy and poor, allowed more illegal aliens to enter America without penalty than his predecessors, the President that created only 5 million jobs in 8 years, (one of the lowest creation of jobs in history by a President that served two-terms) violated the Geneva Convention, disgraced America in the eyes of its allies, and the President the created the “NCLB’ (No Child Left Behind) education policies that as a result our youth are academically “impotent” and in fact, left our children behind when compared to Finland, Sweden, and China’s youth for example. And you’re calling President Obama a fascist?

You support the notion that President Obama has policies that Hitler and the Nazi party would support and state he is racist towards Caucasians। Fact is more than 40% of his administration is Jewish and more than 70% are Caucasian. Also, Hitler hated Jews and systematically murdered 6 million men, women and children. You then contradict yourself by stating “Hitler was right.” What was this “scourge of civilization” correct about my dissatisfied American citizen? That killing 6 million men, women and children was justified?

You say that President Obama is a Muslim and terrorist। President Obama is not a Muslim, but if he was--so what of it? Do you believe that a Muslim couldn’t be President of the United States? There are Muslims that have died and are still dying, in the defense of liberty for America and around the world, and you’re inferring that ALL Muslims are terrorists?

You can no more likened President Obama to Hitler than you can liken Rush Limbaugh to Dr। Martin Luther King Jr. What is the real reason for your discourse?

You are willing to tear America apart over healthcare reform? The road you are traveling on will assail you no victory because your reasoning for wanting to overthrow the government and/or secede is misguided and completely wrong।

You have embraced hate which we are all capable of when you should be embracing love which is the better of the two। You seek to destroy because of single-minded ideology, when you should desire peaceful collaboration in addressing your disdain. You are being influenced by some senators, members of congress, radio and TV political pundits that will not be standing side-by-side with you if this “bloody affair” in America occurs because they’ll be hiding in their bunkers.

After fathers, sons, mothers, and daughters have annihilated each other, after the once mighty United States is no more than a third world country, after America’s powerful allies have faded from memory, and when those that survive cannot remember why war was waged in the first place, and finally, after you my dissatisfied citizen “water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots,” you may overthrow the government and/or secede from the Union।

But I doubt it।

“The Darkest...Before The Dawn."

We find ourselves frustrated and angry with our elected officials because of their inability to steer our country through one of the worst economic crisis in more than three decades.

I was born in the late 1960’s and was a pre-teen and teen during Ronald Reagan’s Presidency (1980-1988). I find it quit eerie that many Americans today look back “fondly” on those years…I do not!

In1987 alone America faced an economic crisis that many economist compared it to the “Great Depression” of the 1930’s. From 6% unemployment to hundreds of thousands of jobs lost, violence, poverty and the increase of possession and distribution of illegal drugs (“crack”) —we’ve been down this road before dear Philadelphians/Americans.

Recently I received letters from “Phil Abundance” and the Salvation Army requesting donations so that they could provide services to many Philadelphians/Americans in need. And I can tell you—our great country is in need.

It occurred to me that organizations like the aforementioned, for example, need all of our support. In past comments I’ve stressed the need for each and every one of us mobilizing and taking immediate action to strengthen not only our families but also our communities as well because this is one way of taking action…giving. We cannot under any circumstances wait for our elected officials to take action on our behalf because history has shown that charity foundations have always been there to aid our communities through the perilous times when politicians who abuse their power were not.

Give whatever you can…but give.

I know that this is our darkest hour…but the dawn is coming. It’s coming!
