LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats, Republicans share blame for problems

Our great nation is collapsing, and those we have sent to serve in our government are to blame, both Democrat and Republican.

We have outsourced American jobs to other nations and have made them strong. China’s influence is increasing around the world. Their goal is to have a Navy that will be four times the size of the American Navy. How is China getting so strong? They have our jobs, and they hold notes in the USA. In other words, China ownership in the USA increases yearly. By the way, China will return the favor and crush us when they are able.

We continue to bless our sworn enemies of Arab countries by buying their oil. They return the favor by trying to destroy our country.

Either our politicians are crooked and self-centered, or they are as dumb as a bag of rocks. Either way we need term limits in both the House and Senate. We must look at their voting records and turn a deaf ear on their syrupy talk.

America was once the supreme super power in the world. That was not due to our own intellect, but by God’s Grace. We have demanded God to leave our nation, but have failed to realize that God’s blessing travel to where He is welcomed.

In addition to our enemies being blessed because of our failing to honor God, the folks who work are being asked to support those who do not.

I do not believe I am alone when I say I had my fill of liberal senators who punish hard work by taking more money, and rewarding laziness with a free ride.

Welfare in America needs to be overhauled. It has ceased to be a temporary help to those in need; it has become an entitlement to the lazy.

Senators who receive any type of favor from special interest lobbyists should be forced to resign.

Now to my fellow Christian brothers and sisters, shame on all of us for sitting back and allowing evil to progress. I will no longer be silent. We are supposed to proclaim the gospel to the world boldly, but we are guilty of sitting on the premises rather than standing on the promises of the Lord.

While the world says no to God, we stand in silence. That is not sad, it is pathetic.

True Americans need to be a burr in the seat of our government. The liberal evil that has befallen our nation must be turned back. Then we can truly say that America is one nation under God.
