There Is a Cancer Growing in America

 

There is a cancer growing in the United States.  It is the cancer of ignorance and lack of leadership, and it is growing into a malignancy.  Too many of us, both in and out of public service, cannot or will not recognize what is threatening our very existence and cannot decide elemental questions like:  Is capitalism better than socialism?

When George Bush (43) left office, the Middle East was stable and al Qaeda was on the run.  Now Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon with the means to finish the project and further fund terrorism throughout the world…and we’re helping to pay for it!  AL Qaeda has been allowed to morph and combine with other groups to form ISIS, creating havoc over the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and soon, to a greater degree, the United States.

Syria, Iraq and Libya have experienced hundreds of thousands of dead including a veritable Christian holocaust with millions of refugees pouring into Europe and the United States; many of them creating a hardship for the host country.

Why?  Because our lack of leadership has been nothing less than stunning.  Our president and his administration, with much Democrat support, refuse to see the world as it is.

Even Bill Maher, the liberal idealist, challenged Charlie Rose (appropriate name for the colored glasses that he wears), who said that Christians are much like Muslims in their intolerance.  “No, that’s not true, not true.  Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you leave the Christian religion you should be killed for it…To tell me that Islam is just like other religions is naive and just plain wrong.”

Our ignorance is equally devastating in its depth of illiteracy as to what socialism entails.  Bernie Sanders is giving Hillary Clinton a serious challenge for the Democrat presidential nomination and almost half of the Democrat Party believes socialism is either good or are open to it.

Do our schools still teach history and economics?  Do they teach that the only difference between socialism and communism is that socialism is voted in while communism is forced in?  And if they still do teach economics, are they teaching that waiting in line for hours for a pair of shoes (if any are available) is better than a trip to the mall?

Many voters, especially young people are supporting Bernie Sanders.  That tells me that there is a tremendous knowledge gap created by an education system that is antithetical to our very system of government and our Judeo-Christian heritage.  And it has bled profusely into our culture, government, entertainment and institutions.

The disease did not happen overnight.  It has been a long time coming and it has been allowed to grow unrestrained.

The future always belongs to those who are willing to see over the next hill, accept it for what it is and deal with it.  The cancer is growing and it will, unless checked, kill the host.
