Been nice knowin' ya, America

Will the next generation of U.S. citizens consider themselves Americans or post-Americans? Better still, why wouldn't they consider themselves post-Americans? Considering how quickly this republic is unraveling, is it too late to ask rhetorical questions?
"Post-Americanism is the state of having moved beyond loyalty to the U.S.," according to Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. Mr. Krikorian believes he coined "post-American."

"Somebody for whom the interests of the U.S. are not paramount and no longer feels greater loyalty to his fellow Americans. They have become cosmopolitans," he says.

Blame the defenseless border with Mexico for the 11 million-plus illegal aliens who didn't have to swear allegiance to America, the White House and Wall Street demanding illegals get rubber-stamped citizenship, allowing them to access government programs, school districts allowing them to vote, teachers using patriotism and jingoism interchangeably, forcing callers to push "1" to hear messages in English, allowing foreign companies from hostile nations control of vital parts of American ports -- and that's just since January.


The elites in Washington, D.C., New York City and the United Nations seem to have plotted a journey to lead America into the New World Order where a cosmopolitan global citizen is no more connected to his country than a sociopath to his fellow man.

Take Strobe Talbott (and the sooner the better).

Mr. Talbott -- Brookings Institution president, old hand at the State Department and former editor at Time magazine -- was preparing America for its inevitable irrelevance with his "The Birth of the Global Nation" in 1992.

He said "nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- 'citizen of the world' -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st century. All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances."

The Founding Fathers risked death for a social arrangement?

This America thing was quite a concept. It had a nice run -- certainly longer than anyone in 1776 could have predicted.

Self-evident truths about equality and whatnot, God-given rights, slaves eventually emancipated, great batting average in wars, cures or pills for most illnesses known to man, the Super Bowl, walking on the moon, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, the Mother of Exiles lifting her lamp beside the golden door -- not bad in little more than two centuries.

Not quite the staying power of Rome but certainly better hygiene.

Been nice knowin' ya, America. Remind the last cosmopolitan to turn off Lady Liberty's lamp before that nowhere man jets to Geneva since America's defenseless borders make the Statue of Liberty a quaint redundancy and this nation almost unrecognizable.

"Younger people probably are more likely to be post-Americans given how bad the public education system is," Mr. Krikorian says.

It would be surprising to find more than a handful of elites in education being patriotic Americans instead of post-Americans, he said.

"A lot of people sense what is going on but it has not been clearly expressed and classified yet," Krikorian says.

This is the precise truth about illegal immigration, globalism and new world order that I discovered was a reality a year ago. Upon that discovery and realization, I was sick...I sat motionless, became nauseas and remained so for about 4 hours, my circulation changed with the dread I felt and swelling set in and remained for 3 months....this is the truth.

We have been sold out by a plot that started about 40 years ago.

The reality of this truth still makes me numb and both my eyes and heart weep with the sadness of the potential "shortness of our run".

The Americans...once the source of hope, opportunity and freedom for so many are now in dire jeopardy themselves.

Once again, if we do not prevail, the world fails.

Sometimes its more than I can bear...the urgency and largess of the situaton seems to overwhelm....and then I remember my three weeks of solid research a year ago on this subject searching for Why would our government refuse to secure our borders and enforce immigration law? I remember the strategy was to "overwhelm" the American People into submission.

And then I remember...who I am and what I was born to do.

There is but one duty as an American Citizen and that is to preserve the United States at all costs by all means necessary, Whatever It Takes.

And then I remember...."We shan't be Overwhelmed".

I remember sailors floating in the Pacific Ocean after the Indiana sank, their fellow sailors being eaten alive by sharks as they treaded water for days in blood water with the fear than any moment they would next be devoured.

I remember paratroopers during the Normandy Invasion serving as a diversion with expected casualties as high as 75% so our troops could invade the beaches and that one of my uncles was one of them.

I remember pilots flying against Kamakazes on death missions.

I remember Americans trapped in bamboo cages for years tortured mercilessly by the Japanese in ways we can't even imagine.

I remember a picture I saw of my Dad on Guam, so thin I almost didn't recognize him and interested in politics and war asked about the War...he went dead silent, had a far away look, after a few seconds which seemed like minutes, he turned his eyes back to me with a grief I'd never seen before and said..."honey, lets not talk about that".

I remember the 58,000 Americans who fought a battle in Gettysburg who died that day on a belief...one believed one way, another side another way. Young kids most of them....the Confederates who'd never even owned a farm let alone a slave and the Union Soldiers who wanted desperately to hold our states together in One Nation, Indivisible with true freedom and liberty for all men.

I remember the Revolutionary War...a little group of colonies who decided to become states and a nation and take on the British Empire...and won.

"overwhelmed"

We are overwhelmed by the concept that our leaders are Traitors.

We are overwhelmed by political correctness.

We are overwhelmed by the magnitude of what many of us know which is that one-sixth of our population consists of illegal foreign nationals with an allegiance to foreign governments.

We are overwhelmed by the fact that we are alone absent our government.

By comparison, it is a unique situation to our prior adversities but:

If our forefathers can march into British Bayonets knowing they will die in seconds to create this nation, we can prevail.

If our forefathers can fall like toy soldiers in the Battle of Gettysburg so that all men can be equal from sea to shining sea, we can prevail.

If our forefathers can float in a sea of sharks for days to preserve our freedom, we can prevail.

If our forefathers can paratroop out of a plane into the laps of thousands of Germans believing that 3 out of 4 will die that evening to save the world, we can prevail.

The "shortness of our run".....not even close.

We're the Americans.

We're going to get these Traitors out of our government.

We're going to get illegal aliens out of our country.

We're going to withdraw from the World Trade Organization.

We're going to cancel Free Trade Agreements.

We're going to rebuild our industrial base within our borders.

W'ere going to make sure that what has happened never ever happens again in the United States.

Because We're Americans, and that is what we born to do.

I hate the idea of a New World Order,and was wondering why this would not be a OVERTHROW by our government . Do you see how they can legally get away with getting rid of our Constitution?My God we all saw what happened with Katrina.I am sticking with the Founding Fathers than these nit wits with one idea more stupid than the next.Judy,you made a lot of good points.
