How can we fix America

The following is a guest post from Thomas Kassin.

There  is still a chance that we can fix America.  The moral code has been so eroded that Christianity is barely visible.  Yet it is possible to turn things around.  Look at Nineveh and how the people repented and God was merciful with them.  If the Christians of this country will collectively humble themselves and fast and pray perhaps God will allow another generation to experience His blessing.  That is the beginning.  If we don't, then we may only have a very short time before we experience hardship and the great falling away

There are several things that we need to do as a country if we want to survive. 

First we need to bring all of our armed forces home from around the world.  Yes even Iraq.  Do you think the world will fall apart if we do?  Why?  Lets look at the alternative.  If we don't, it will bring this country to bankruptcy. We are spending money that we have no way of paying back.  There has to be a reckoning concerning runaway spending.  Next consider how we would react if a foreign power came to America marched in and took over!!  Would we like it?  Sure there have been times in history where we needed to be involved in foreign wars.  During those times we had clear objectives, and we achieved them.  Let the people of Iraq pick up the pieces and rebuild their country.  If the will sell us oil for a reasonable price they will have all the money they need to do so.  Which brings us to the next point.. Oil prices.  There is an easy way to fix this problem.  We need to stop any export of oil from the United States.  Why are we selling Alaskan oil to Japan and buying oil from the Middle East?  If we tell Saudi Arabia to keep their oil and buy from Canada and Mexico and several other friendly sourced [sic] it would drive prices down overnight.  We have also recently discovered a vast oil reserve in Montana.  Lets use it.  The oil crisis is completely manufactured and can be turned around with just a little wisdom.

Next, it is time to stop sending money all over the world to buy influence.  It is time to get our own house in order.  Our government has become so drunk with power they cannot make sound judgments.  This money at one time might have been helpful to some struggling countries, but it is so out of control it is drowning us all in debt we can't afford.  The world will not fall apart if we stop.  When some catastrophic event occurs we are often the first there to help. And the government doesn't need to be involved.  There are several charitable organizations at the ready to help.  If our economy stumbles people will not be able to afford to help.  We need to start spending money at home to fix roads and bridges instead of handing it to foreign governments.  Lets put our own people to work.  Welfare hasn't worked here and it won't work on an International level either.  It just leads to dependency and abuse.  It used to be that if someone was struggling they turned to family or church for help.  At least then there was some accountability. 

The next problem we need to fix is illegal immigration.  If Mexicans want to come here and earn some money to take back home,  that is fine.  We can allow them temporary green cards to work and pay a percentage of their earnings to taxes.  This could not in any way be tied to Social Security.  They would not be given educations or free health care.  There would have to be strict time limits, and anyone violating them would be banned from coming back.  We do love our neighbors and are willing to work together to solve this problem, if they are.  Any illegals [sic] now here would be allowed to apply for green cards from their home country.   Also, America is spending a lot of money in Mexico to help build their economy.  With some cooperation they can be a prosperous country.

None of this will work if people aren't willing to turn to God.  Bring back The 10 Commandments and discipline to our schools.  Call out to our Media to speak the truth and not propaganda.  Insist that the entertainment industry clean up it's act.  We are sick of the homosexual agenda and people celebrating childbirth outside of wedlock.  While we are at it how about getting rid of the flesh parade thrown in the faces of America.  It's one thing to look elegant and quite another to be pornographic.  And finally it's time to take Congress, The President, and The Supreme Court to the woodshed.  Read the preamble to our Constitution, "We are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights."  Our Creator means that as a country we acknowledge God.  If you don't want to do so then we Americans call for your immediate resignation.  We have had about all we can take.  We hereby hold you all accountable.  You cannot uphold the constitution unless you believe in God!! 

Sincerely, Thomas Kassin
